This often actually exists still, but those companies dont do big marketing and their products will cost 3x that of a "normal" one.

As I've heard it:

Bosch makes the best dishwashers
Speed Queen makes the best laundry machines
Asko ~~and Miele~~ make the best stoves and fridges

And yes, they are all very expensive. But I want to get me a Speed Queen so bad.

~~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 2 weeks 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.
