      Hi Al! I’ve asked versions of this question for specific appliances, but can you give a broad overview of how to and what to shop for with each major kind of appliance for a rental property? Looking for qualities like durability and value. I’m not looking to cheap out and end up paying over the long run with extra maintenance and early replacements, but am looking for what both a landlord and tenant can appreciate.

      Here is what I would look for.

      Dishwasher: stainless interior, DB rating 50 or under. Something with a pocket handle would be better.
      Microwave: brands like GE LG tend to hold up better
      Refrigerator: I would do a top freezer if possible for longevity or a side by side. The french door may be prone to service calls.
      Ovens: self-cleaning, 5 burners, one with a backguard vs. a slide-in for a rental prob better, brands like GE, Whirlpool here.
