Maytag makes decent dishwashers and refrigerators, at least compared to the rest of the crap on the market. I assume Frigidaire is the same since I think it's basically the same company.

    Maytag and Frigidaire are separate (Frigidaire is part of Electrolux family, Maytag is part of Whirlpool, as is KitchenAid). We hardly carry Maytag kitchen appliances because most of them are just re-skinned Whirlpool products with some extra dollary-do's tacked on for the name (and especially in dishwashers, the KA is just better if you want Wpl family stuff). They aren't bad, but when you can get a KA for a tiny amount more and get more features, or get the whirlpool for significantly less with nearly the same features...

    Their laundry (which is where their name still carries a ton of weight with hillbillies that remember their commercials from the late 90s) is absolute hot garbage.

    Oh definitely, I wouldn't touch Maytag washing machines. I have a Maytag dishwasher (replaced KA, which I fixed 3 small mechanical issues) because it was on a particularly good sale, Whirlpool refrigerator (replaced an LG fridge with faulty compressor), and an LG washing machine (fixed a faulty relay). Appliances in general seem pretty unreliable these days, and there's isn't a brand that's consistent across the board. My take:

    • refrigerator - Whirlpool or Maytag for side-by-side, Bosch or GE for french door; Frigidaire only for smaller or simpler models
    • dishwasher - Bosch or KitchenAid (higher end), Maytag (I have one that's essentially a rebadged KA) or Whirlpool (mid-tier) w/ metal tub
    • laundry - Speed Queen ($$$$; go for old school), anything with a decent warranty, LG

    In general, avoid Samsung for all three, and Bosch is a good higher-end brand.
