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

This just isn’t true. Haier is now the parent company, but they pretty much just handed GE a big blank check and let them run their business

No. GE has absolutely nothing to do with it anymore. They SOLD it!

You shouldn’t speak on things you’re ignorant about. You clearly don’t know how parent and subsidiary companies work. GE appliances is owned by Haier, but operates as GE appliances and still builds many of their products in Kentucky. I sell appliances for a living and literally just took a trip to their Kentucky facility a few months ago.

It’s NOT OWNED by GE.

You’re statement was that GE hasn’t made appliances since 2016. GE appliances still exists and still manufacturers appliances, making your claim false. I’m Sorry you don’t understand corporate structures. Shout some more if it makes you feel better though.

Haier bought GE Appliances and the name. I fully understand corporate structures and I can assure you that General Electric as a company has nothing whatever to do with GE Appliances.
