I have been running service on appliances for 36 years and no other site or YT channel hits the topics as spot on as you guys. MANY times I direct my customers to watch your channel and I have quoted you many times as well. Where sales and service always seem to never see eye to eye, you guys do it right... Good channel!

I just got the LG counter depth refrigerator this month, it stopped freezing and cooling 2 days ago so it lasted 2 weeks!

Hello Y’ale,

My family finally found a new home and are moving in December.

We just got back from buying new appliances:

GE55-series washer and dryer in white
-we don’t think we need steam clean or the automatic dispenser. Our laundry room is mostly white.

LG 260-series fridge
LG 6333 range
LG 5552 dishwasher
-all in black stainless.

We chose LG because other mfrs either don’t make all these in black stainless, or we would have had to wait weeks-months for them.

Hoping you all will have a great holiday season ahead.

Why is it a work triangle and not a pentagon (or some other higher geometric figure) that includes the refrigerator and the pantry?

We bought an LG refrigerator, lasted 3yrs 5 months, bad compressor. L G gives lousy customer service. They gave us the run a round for a month. They told us they had no service people in our area for the repair. Wouldn't even give the part to our repairman we called to fix it. Complained to Lowe's and they gave us another refrigerator. L G comes from Korea. Googled and they had just settled a large lawsuit for bad refrigerator compressors. Never will buy another of their products!

Are there any slide-in ovens that are quiet, or quieter than others? I have a 10-year-old Kenmore Elite oven (I moved in 2 years ago) that is loud during the pre-heating cycle. The same for convection cooking, only the fans stay on the entire time. I can even hear it upstairs. When I put my dB meter a foot in front of the oven door, I get reading of 66. I was high on the Frigidaire GCFE3060BF, but I read a review that sounded exactly like my loud Kenmore. I am tempted to try the Hisense HFE3501CPS oven in a large part because of the 2-year warranty. My fear is buying a new oven only to find it is also loud.

I had a LG LDT9965BD dishwasher it never broke down in the 7 years it lasted til it developed a leak underneath. I'd probably buy another LG dishwasher in the future. It never required a single repair. And I ran it like you wouldn't believe it 😅😅

Can you provide advice on Haier? This is showing up more and more at my local home depots

[sabotaged]

In your dryer reliability statistic I couldn't see LG. Can we assume LG is as reliable as Bosch for example? Also does that apply for US only is it the same for Europe?

[anchalsharma]

I have heard a lot of stories of lg appliances going bad first hand. I dont believe the number one rating. Has you given number one to miele or maytag or speed queen. No problems. Maybe your sales numbers are skewed. Also, you may have missed the severity of the failures. Eg if LGs failed completely just after warranty and other brands had some minor issues like not levelled.

This channel is liquid gold and packed with important information. Thank you!

What do you think about Zline appliances

[ThePKefal]

I love Cafe Appliances for looks and features. How bad are they reliability wise? Induction Range, Refrigerator and Range hood is mostly what we care for now.

Where is Wolf and Subzero percentage-wise?

[robertwhite]

I have a Bosch washer & Dryer & never had no issues since 2006 not one service call ! That should tell you something!

[MindHunger]

Is there a difference in reliability between top- and bottom-freezer refrigerators?

[leejeffers]

Why no reference whatsoever to Whirlpool appliances?

[annadigrande]

Surprised to hear about GE Profile. I’ve had my GE profile refrigerator replaced 3 times since purchased In 2020

[cylonred]

Looking at 3 different electric ranges:

LG LREL6325F
Frigidare GCRE3060AF
PB935YPFS

Any Samsung electric (glass top) we should look at over the 3 above and which ones above have the best reliability? Or is there another one/brand I really should look at?

[teresaeiler]

I always thought Frigidaire was a good brand but it wasn't mentioned either.
