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.

    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.

    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.
