~~Miele was sold to a private equity firm and they've been reputation-fracking, so their recent stuff is supposed to be pretty mediocre but priced as if it's top-end.~~

Damn. I hate to hear that. Guess I'll scratch them off my list.

Cafe (spinoff from GE) does a pretty good job with stoves. AFAIK they are still pretty well respected.

The brands to stay away from at all costs are LG and Samsung.

As I posted a little lower down:

If the company has ever made a TV or a cell phone I’m not buying their appliance.

Samsung burned me once….

The cheapest LG refrigerators that are 2 door freezer on top are pretty well regarded. Their more expensive refrigerators have linear compressors that aren't a great design to begin with and an even worse design for the refrigerant used in the USA compared to the refrigerant they were designed for in Korea. (As I understand it)

LG is actually pretty highly regarded for their clothes washers and dryers.

[–] cogman@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

Their refrigerators have been a mess. That makes it hard for me to trust their other appliances.

Just get a Speed Queen. Incredibly durable, easy to repair, and surprisingly quiet.

Do you have a source for that? Their wiki page says that they are still family owned.

I do not - I've heard it so many times from so many places that I didn't bother checking it before repeating it, but it looks like it was wrong.
