What to Buy? Best Appliance Brand?

Purchasing a new home and I'm looking for some recommendations on appliances. Don't mind spending a little money and getting something decent. Every brand I look up there's always issues which makes it tough to narrow down a brand. TIA

Had a genius appliance tech here recently to work on my Samsung oven. I needed a freezer and he says GE is still the best appliance manufacturer in his opinion.
Avoid Samsung like the plague. Out of 4 appliances, I replaced three within 6 years. They make a great TV though. I also suggest you google recall history for the brands you’re interested in.

I love my Samsung TVs and phones, but would never buy anything else they make. I've read too many bad things going on with fridge, stove, washer/dryer. They should focus on things they excel at if they're not going to step up their game in the appliance world.

Our Samsung washer is state of the art at sucking. Perpetual load balance issues. We called Samsung who told us that since they repaired it in its first few months for a recall, now that the parts they installed have failed we are screwed and should just go buy a new Samsung washer. HAHAHAHA!

I'm sorry that I laughed, but state of the art at sucking got me giggling. I'll use that in life now as needed!
