Few guys seem to want to go into appliance repair even though that can be a good career. I know a couple who generally recommend GE appliances but also like Frigidaire and whirlpool because these are easy to repair. For washers and dryers you can add Electrolux and LG. We have a large LG ventless heat pump dryer that works well so far and solves our nightmare of a venting issue. Get a Bosch dishwasher. Unless, of course, wifey really requires high-end appliances then you're paying a lot more for status and repairs.
Of course ice from a sub zero tastes so much better than everything else.***
