Has your refrigerator seen better days, or has your microwave suddenly become noisier and less efficient? Well, it’s not necessarily that you haven’t taken good care of them; it’s more likely just the inevitable passing of time and the toll it takes.
Yes, “wear and tear” is often the simple reason for why appliances die, so the time has come to shop around for something new. Here at Electrafix, we know that evaluating and choosing the best appliances for you can be stressful, so we put together this handy guide summarizing the pros and cons of GE, LG, and Bosch appliances. We want to help your decision process go smoothly.
Kitchen Appliances
About a hundred years ago, kitchens were seen as separate spaces within homes solely dedicated to preparing meals. Fast forward several decades and the kitchen started to occupy more space at home. So much so that these days kitchens are the heart of any home. Open-plan kitchens, better appliances, and kitchen islands have made the space more inviting. A lot of time is spent in the kitchen, so choosing the right appliances for this space is an important decision.
Stoves
Nowadays, when picking a new stove, you can choose from gas, electric, or induction types depending on your needs and preferences.
When it comes to cooking appliances, GE is hard to beat. With over 500 different ranges, ovens, and microwaves in their catalogue, you’re sure to find something to suit your needs here.
We were taken by the gorgeous stainless steel GE Profile Series Slide-in Gas Range with Double Oven. It gets an A for both its cooking performance and reliability. A gas range with double ovens is practical both for cooking very large meals as well as utilizing a smaller oven for simpler affairs.
Ovens
For many, ovens are the heart of the kitchen. This is where the birthday cakes, cookies, fresh bread, Thanksgiving turkey, and more come from. The oven is central to the experience of breaking bread with family and friends, so it’s a significant element of anyone’s ideal kitchen.
Where GE ovens are concerned, we give big points to the GE Profile Combination Double Wall Oven with Convection and Advantium Technology. This is a best-seller for a good reason, with user-friendly functions like speed-cook, European convection, and fine-tuned bake and broil components. If this sounds great to you, but you’ve got to keep an eye on your budget, check out the LG 9.4 CU. FT. Double Wall Oven. Although it does not have GE’s Advantium technology, it is equipped with True Convection functionality, EasyClean technology, and the exclusive LG—AI-powered ThinQ with voice control.
Microwaves
Again thanks to its vast range of appliances, GE comes as our recommended choice for microwave. If you are looking not only for a good microwave but also to save countertop space, this GE Profile over-the-range microwave is an ideal choice.
The GE model is made out of stainless steel and has convenience buttons for all your favorite meals. It is easy to clean, thanks to its non-porous, porcelain-enamel interior. With a quiet yet powerful fan, it efficiently removes steam, odors, and smoke from your kitchen.
Dishwasher
Do you know? Thanks to socialite Josephine Cochran, who was fed up with washing dishes by hand way back in 1886, we too can now dispense with such chores and move on to more interesting endeavours. For several decades now, dishwashers have been completely mainstream, an essential appliance in many average homes. Like the oven, they are something of a cornerstone: very important to the space. So, considerations for the best dishwasher include overall reliability, noise level, cleaning and drying performance, design, durability, and pricing.
Between GE, LG, and Bosch dishwasher models, Bosch is a winner.
Their sterling reputation is well-earned; they build solid, dependable units, and with their wide range of offerings, you’re sure to find a suitable model for your kitchen. Aesthetically speaking, LG is definitely one to consider if you want to bundle it with other kitchen appliances for a uniform look.
Refrigeration
Can you imagine life without a refrigerator? How would you store milk, meats, cheeses, and the like? Refrigerators are a fundamental part of our modern home life. Thus, choosing one that fulfills your needs is critical, and with so many brands and models in the market, it can be hard to decide.
After researching and weighing the pros and cons of various refrigerator models from GE, LG, and Bosch, we have to advocate for LG in this category. This company, founded in 1958 in South Korea, has a long history of producing home electronics. It has sales centers all over the globe and aftermarket support which includes refrigerator repair services.
The LG French Door Counter-Depth Refrigerator has a total capacity of 22.7 cu. ft., enough space for all your family demands. It offers French doors top and bottom, including the freezer area. The in-door water and ice dispenser are very convenient, and the touch screen is easy to use. Its overall design is excellent, with spacious, clear shelving allowing for a clear view and better organization.
Washer and Dryer
Another appliance that it’s hard to imagine life without: the washing machine. Washing clothes by hand is a back-breaking chore, and the more clothes you have to wash, the harder it gets. Fortunately, there are plenty of washing machine designs out there to choose from: front load, top load, and semi-automatic.
After careful deliberation, we decided that the LG TurboWash 360 is the best option of these three manufacturers. This Wi-Fi Enabled 4.5-cu ft High-Efficiency Stackable Steam Cycle Front-Load Washer has so many great features. The LG TurboWash is quicker, gentler, quieter and does an incredible job removing all types of stains. AI technology detects the variety of fabrics and load sizes to choose the best setting each time. Also, its polished, stylish look makes a great addition to your home. We also recommend the LG True Steam Smart for the perfect matching dryer. With an ultra-large capacity of 7.4 cu. ft., you can do your laundry in fewer loads. Equipped with AI technology that chooses dry motions and settings, this is your best dryer option that matches your LG washing machine.
