    Just want to point out since we didn't mention it in the video. This is NOT sponsored at all by anyone. This is purely based on Blakes opinion and his 29 years of experience. Now if any of these brands want to do a sponsorship... 👀
  • @hodr1000
    I never knew that microwave switches wore out when opening while running. Good advice.
  • Really appreciate this video. As a technician myself, our opinion carries a lot of weight versus any sales person. We have nothing to lose by being honest and sharing our experiences!

    We've had our BOSCH dishwasher for 16 years now. ZERO problems. Quiet. Looks like new inside and out.

    Love this! Two cents on LG washer vs. fridge: a VP named Cho in LG Washer division who retired in 2019 was a legend. He devoted his life in LG washing machine division for 20 yrs since graduating high-school. It is unheard for a non-graduate-school-grad , let alone non-college-grad to be a VP in LG. That shows how much of a legend he was, and how much devoted he was to washing machines.

    Your confidence in Bosch dishwashers was exactly what I was keeping an ear out for. Thanks for sharing the experience with us common folk.
  • Such a great unbiased video. It's great to hear a repair guy say "LG makes a great washer but their fridges suck"... True honesty. Thank you!
  • @OG_McLovin
    Loved this, it's like a repair guy uncle just spitballin' about his job and what you should be buying for your house. Straight talk without trying to sell me something. That's how you get me to buy something from you. Good luck in your lives and careers and thanks for taking care of our appliances!

    I bought a Bosch dishwasher based on a repairman’s suggestion. It took some time to get used to and I had to get creative with how I loaded things, but it’s by far my favorite appliance in my house.
  • The one thing that I have heard consistently from repair men and videos like this, is that you want to have your icemaker be in its natural environment: the freezer area. So you will basically need a side-by-side if you want an in-door icemaker. Otherwise, just get the one at the bottom that you need to scoop out the ice. Even better is if you have an icemaker as a separate appliance altogether if you have the space.
  • During my 8 months as an apliance installer for lowes in 2016/17, the most frequently returned and exchanged brand was samsung. The least was whirlpool and GE.
  • @NaitsirC91188
    I have watched so many videos like this and this is by far the most informative. Thanks for the info Blake! You Rock!!
  • @quartzofcourse
    One thing I would add to the ice maker side is if it’s in the fridge area, it’s going to fail or cause problems even more often. Avoid ice makers that aren’t in the freezer
  • @petermaz701
    Having different appliances over the years when you get to a certain age you’ve seen and tried just about everything. I have to agree with you. Great job.
  • @PsychItsMike
    This video gave me some peace of mind as I just bought a bunch of appliances for my rental property. Thank you!
  • @handsupbud
    I've owned a 22 year old Bosch 300 series washer and dryer and they are still running great.
  • @NickatLateNite
    I was a kitchen and bath remodeler for 25 years, got asked a million times what appliances should I buy... I gave them my appliance guys card & told them "he'll guide you based on your needs & he'll give you a good discount", he always did and I always came out looking like a champ!... Oh and I was always a simple Whirlpool guy... washers, dryers, dishwashers & refrigerators, in 50 years of use, I've only gone through two sets of each, still on the second set!
  • I sit here watching YouTube waiting for my Frigidaire french door fridge to get delivered today. My wife and I have been worried if we made the right choice. Then this guy praises them and even shows what looks like the exact model we bought on screen as he talks about them. Thank you for calming my nerves!
  • @wargasm25
    Thanks Blake, nice to hear some non biased reviews. We appreciate the help and it will help determine our purchase.
  • @pageremick5504
    Thank you! Years ago when I had an appliance repairman out for a refrigerator, I asked him which brands in which appliances were the best.... meaning having the least problems,and doing the best job. He said whichever manufacturer first invented the appliance, seemed to do the best.... while all the others were playing catch up. I can't remember which ones he recommended, but THIS recording is going to be my go-to for all the new appliances I need to order for a new home. THANK YOU again!
