JD Power Names best appliances of 2018

As a homeowner, selecting appliances is both an expensive and stressful prospect. For many of us, your home came with some kind of appliances but due to changes in style or the lifespan of the appliance there comes a time when you need to head out to the store and lay out thousands of dollars on a new appliance.

When this happens, picking the best solution for your family is important and that’s why JD Power awards are such a wonderful resource for homeowners to refer to. For over a decade JD Power has annually released satisfaction studies that evaluate major home appliances like washer, dryers, stops, refrigerators and more. Award winners are named based on overall customer satisfaction.

This year, six unique brands were selected across 11 segments of products. “The fact that there are six different well-recognized brands stepping into the spotlight shows how competitive the appliance market has become and how a manufacturer can be successful when focusing on the right set of products,” said Christina Cooley, Director, Home Improvement and Technology Practice.

The kitchen is the heart of the home. Most families spend most of their time in this room and cooking is a daily necessity that the entire household revolves around. Selecting the best appliances for your kitchen means finding ones with longevity and ease of use the entire family can enjoy.
