Go for the LG with the EZ clean interior. One of the best microwaves out there and much more reliable than the Samsung. It’s a top pick, they even make a model with the extended vent for more venting capacity!

Samsung, in my opinion, rushes products to market and doesn’t listen to consumer feedback. When thousands of people said their icemakers were freezing over, all they did was keep pumping them out, creating a mess.

My local sales reps explain to me there is a communication gap at the top. Typical corporate bureaucracy then add in the overseas mentality as the U.S. consumer is quite different. They are so worried about just getting models into the big-box stores the product quality has gone downhill. Their local services are terrible, and most cant get parts fast enough. I’m not a big Samsung fan at all. I think they need to prove themselves to consumers again. They just don’t make a quality appliance. They innovate too fast for the “coolness” factor, and to me, that ends up leaving the end-user with a big paperweight. Price is not bad, they are on par with other brands and sometimes less. I would overlook the brand for now until things get better.

If you are looking for a front-load machine, I would consider the GE Ultra-fresh models 550-850 series or the LG 4200 or 4500 series. In a top loader, Speed Queen is the best for simple reliability. But for a bigger load size, I would move you to the LG 7300 series or above. They are larger capacity machines and have been holding up really well in the market even with all the digital.

If we are talking 30″ standard size stove, I love the GE cafe with the double ovens. The lower oven is big enough for a Turkey, and the top oven can be used for many smaller items. The Cafe is a quality unit with features like convection for even browning, air fry for faster crisp cooking, 6 burners, and a removable griddle. The stove even has a wifi-enabled app to send you notifications when the oven is on-off and timer reminders. It’s a great all-around stove for someone who cooks a lot. Comes in a few color options and handle choices as well.
