Buying home appliances can seem like a daunting task! With so many brands and features to consider, it can help to familiarize yourself with the best performers on the market today. When shopping for appliances, consider build quality, reviews, and warranties. It’s also important to take into account your space at home, energy efficiency, layout and style options, and bonus features (such as smart technology and Wi-Fi). Consider your local certified repair options to ensure that your investment can stay in great shape for plenty of time to come! 

Refrigerator

Top refrigerator brands include Sub-Zero, which makes top-of-the-line full-size refrigerators to ensure your kitchen is always well-stocked, and Thermador, a high-end brand known for its premium-grade stainless steel models. Miele is also known for its excellent quality appliances; choose from a freestanding refrigerator, a Perfect Cool fridge, and freezer, or a French Door bottom mount unit for maximum storage. Viking refrigerators are also wonderful and luxurious options for sprucing up your kitchen, available in a range of sizes to suit your needs.

Everyone loves a modern vintage look, so make sure to check out popular vintage-inspired options. These include Galanz retro top mount refrigerators, available in a variety of eye-pleasing colors. Similarly, refrigerators from Big Chill can also offer that retro twist to your kitchen; opt for the slim, studio, or original size, available in fun colors like pink lemonade, buttercup yellow, or cherry red. Timeless brand Frigidaire offers some stylish vintage options as well as more modern models.

For an option with more storage and organization options, the GE Cafe line of full-size refrigerators is not only spectacularly reviewed but truly tested by time.

The most popular option is the 36” wide size and colors range from sterling to sparkling white. Lastly, the Frigidaire Gallery series is the only option on the list with a top freezer design. 

Dishwasher

Common among many top 10 lists for dishwashers are the Bosch 800, 500, and 300 series dishwashers. Not only are Bosch’s dishwashers highly favored among buyers for their ability to leave dishes spic-and-span, but they offer consumers plenty of up-front information when browsing. Bosch dishwashers are extremely popular due to their panels which makes them appear to disappear into the cabinetry, creating a seamless look for your kitchen.
