Recommending brand name appliances used to be easy. Yet repair histories, huge differences in performance, cost differences, eco friendly, quality of parts used, warranties, etc. has caused complexity given the large number of name brands on today's market. Many homeowners choose to have their existing units repaired vs diving into the expensive and confusing decision process a new appliance demands.

Whether you read up on GE, Whirlpool (also sold under many other brand names), Maytag, Frigidaire, etc. each brand has it's strength and weaknesses. Quality of design changes over time. In the past, the Maytag repairman was advertised as having no business, yet today the brands repair history appears neck to neck with others. You'd like to have matching appliances, yet one brands refrigerator is ranked high and their dishwasher is very low. The consumer is forced to comprimise.

If repair is out of the question, we recommend taking the time to research multiple appliance reviews such as those provided by Consumer Reports, Good Housekeeping, and Consumersearch to name a few.

Manufacturers typically offer lower prices on their low-quality appliances and higher prices on their choice lines. The difference in price is in the internal components in the machines. Lower-end machines have lower-quality materials than those that are more expensive.

When deciding to repair an old refrigerator, appliance or purchase a new one, consider the quality of the refrigerator or appliance you can afford as a replacement and the option of having your current refrigerator/appliance properly repaired. High Tech Appliance can evaluate your appliance to determine if it's in your best interest to repair or replace it.

If you compare a Major Brand refrigerator or appliance that you bought a decade ago with one comparable in price today, you are not making a valid comparison. The appliances are neither similar in quality nor as durable for the same price. If you replace the one you bought a decade ago with one that costs what you paid a decade ago, you’ll be repairing the new appliance every three to four years. You’ll either have to pay more up front for a new, high-quality refrigerator or appliance that will give you another decade of trouble-free operation or, if you are unable to afford this, repair your existing machine.
