We're in the market for a new refrigerator (French door style), top load washer, and dryer. Any that you recommend? Or ones we should stay away from?

I really like my washer. It's a Samsung - model WA45M7050AW, 45 cubic feet, 9 cycles.

My GE French-door fridge is great! No problems at all.

Our dryer is at least 16 years old so I’m pretty sure it doesn’t exist anymore, and our Whirlpool Cabrio top loader washer is just okay. We’ve had some issues with white residue being left on dark clothes that we’ve since resolved, but it means we can only use certain heavy-duty settings to ensure it doesn’t happen with the loads we put in, which is dumb and not that efficient.

I think our fridge is GE. We chose the slate color & I love it!

We chose a French door without ice or water in the door & I have never regretted it. We have a reverse osmosis system for water now & the water is so good! I love the extra space in the fridge and it’s one less thing to break/clean!

Yeah I don’t love my cabrio washer.

We have a whirlpool fridge with a water dispenser on the inside. Ice make is still in the freezer. We just got it a month or so ago and are enjoying it. We don’t lose any space in the fridge!

My niece has had nothing but trouble with the GE appliances that came with her house. It was a flip and they were all new- she's had the fridge repaired more times than I can count, the stove twice and the microwave as well. I would not touch them right now. Their C/S has been pretty crappy, too. The Electrolux W/D my mother bought her as a housewarming present are fabulous- she loves them.


I have the Whirlpool big stainless French door. It's been fine. I skipped the water dispenser and have the ice inside the freezer- it's a cleaner look. My mother just put the top of the line Kitchen Aid line in because she is compelled to be fancier than me. She has the counter depth French door with filtered water inside. It's been great so far, but might not hold enough for a family. My fridge holds way more.

We bought an LG HE top loader washer and matching dryer in July and love them so far! They are a dark gray/metallic color, only complaint is the top of the dryer scratches easily.
Our fridge is a stainless GE profile French door. It’s been good to us and it’s 10 years old now. No issues or repairs, knock on wood. My parents still have the kitchen aid fridge they bought in 1996.

We replaced all of our old Whirlpool appliances with GE appliances in our kitchen when we renovated last year. So far they've all been great and we haven't had any problems. (Model #'s JVM3160RF3SS, JGS750SEF6SS, PFE28KSKDSS)

The dryer that came with our house was old and bit the dust a few months after we moved in. We got a cheaper Whirlpool dryer that crapped out after a year. We ended up replacing both the washer and dryer with these Samsung models: WF45K6200AW, DV45K6200EW. I found the pedestals on sale at a Sears Outlet for about $180 each which was a steal because they're normally around $250 each. The pedestals weren't in perfect condition, but they were going in our basement where no one would see them and I was really just looking to have them to lift up the washer and dryer as my H and I are both tall. We didn't want to be practically crawling inside to get laundry out.

We still like our GE stainless fridge and LG HE top load washer/LG dryer after 5.5 years. However, I was going to link the W/D and the washer has 55% 1 star reviews on Amazon, so maybe we've just been lucky!

We have Samsung appliances in our old house and loved them. Our builder only supplied GE appliances so we took a credit and bought new Samsung one's instead for this house.

I seriously love them more than I should love appliances - our washer and dryer are awesome. Our washer has a a little bin in the top so you can pre-wash or soak things and it's been well used with a new baby, hah! They both have huge capacities which means I can be lazy and wash more stuff together!
Ours is this one, or similar: www.homedepot.com/p/Samsung-5-2-cu-ft-High-Efficiency-Top-Load-Washer-with-Steam-and-Activewash-in-White-ENERGY-STAR-WA52M7750AW/301176932

Also, our dishwasher (I know you're not looking for one, but I love mine so much) is so great, I never pre-wash anything and it opens on its own at the end of a cycle!

Maytag Bravo for washer dryer.


Our fridge had issues with the ice maker but they fixed it and luckily under warranty. No other issues.
