I bought a house four years ago. When I got in the only thing left standing was the microwave, and the stove. I needed a clean sweep of all the appliances. I went through the reviews, and went to a number of appliance stores. What I found to be the best tell of a good appliance. Was after market parts. I made sure everything I bought had readily available parts. I spent just about 200, and stocked up on spare parts for all my appliances. I went to the appliance stores again, and said notify me of any scratch and dent, clearance etc. of these models. This worked rather well.
The only appliance I had issues with was the dishwasher. While I had parts for washer, dryer, fridge, stove, and dishwasher. The dishwasher had a gasket just under the pump at the bottom of the unit. Every several months it would rupture due to being cheap plastic. I just grabbed one from my shelf and switched it out.
This model also applied to my family. when recommending a unit with more readily available parts. The repairs were less expensive. Are these the best units, not by a long shot. But I know I can repair it at least.
