刚买了laundry里的电器。一个小经验,如果洗衣房在二楼,预算又有限,lg和samsung的可以做首选。我们预算1200左右一对。black friday的时候先买了maytag的。震动比较大,洗衣服的时候整个房子都能感到。后来到店里换,(我们以为是洗衣机本身不合格)发现人就这样。店小二也说韩国牌子的安静些,合适西医房在楼上的用户,主要是一般二楼的地没一楼的平,在高速甩干的时候就会震动明显。samsung据说减震方面做的最好。当然maytag也是好牌子啦。
我家在一楼,也振的不行啊。敬爱的房子,书房,简直就在抖啊豆啊。

subzero的冰箱,viking的厨具都挺受欢迎的!
高人能说说为啥不?是不是都是给百万豪宅配置的,不如咱们寻常百姓家?我都没怎么听说过。最近来这里才知道。
不厚道地打击一下,
首先,Sears 的洗衣机,炉灶,冰箱,等等,全部都是贴牌儿产品。亲爱的Whirpool是他家的最大供货商。举例来说,sears洗衣机和Whirpool的在同一条生产线生产,sears的外表稍有区别,核心是一样的。呵呵,其实Whirpool还给好多家生产洗衣机,炉灶。。。比如,著名的Ikea... 所以,买Whirpool Gold的就足矣了。
其次,Maytag的质量很差。被Whirpool收购后质量有所改进,但是,这个改变时渐进的。
明天接着来。
这个和我了解的一直。SEAR的KENMORE不是自己做的。
我家MS是MAYTAG的,不过不是很SURE。不喜欢。
经过几周时间无数次光顾Home Depot, Lowes, Sears, PC Richard & Son,与无数个Sales工作人员探讨,在网上大量的钻研,甚至问了一个给GE工作学工业设计的朋友的专业意见。
结论如下:
冰箱:(最好的品牌依次是Electrolux,Bosch, Samsung, Kenmore Elite, GE Profile)
不需要考虑功耗,现在冰箱压缩机技术都很接近,能耗也都差不多,主要看工艺用材和发泡层(保温层)厚度,越厚温度流失越低。如果要制冰功能,要买内置可更换水滤芯的。
后来买了GE Profile,因为外观漂亮,内置冰水滤芯购买方便便宜。
洗碗机:(最好的品牌依次是Bosch, Electrolux, Maytag JetClean, Samsung, Kenmore Elite)
Bosch和Electrolux分别是德国和瑞典品牌,打开洗碗机会发现结构和美国品牌略有不同,首先欧洲产品内胆都是不锈钢的,哪怕$400多的低档型号也是不锈钢内胆,而美国品牌除了上千的高档型号,其他都是全塑料的;欧洲品牌的heating unit是隐藏式的,美国的都是外露的,因为成本低;欧洲品牌密封圈橡胶质量明显好于美国产品;Bosch的最安静最低达到40分贝以下,几乎忽略不计的噪音,Bosch的电机最好,而且烘干效果是最好的。GE工作的朋友说,美国这些品牌已经不应用什么好的科技和材料了,都是在墨西哥生产,甚至不同品牌都是同一个生产线出来的,一切都是为了节省成本。
后来买了Bosch,因为Bosch的终身leak free承诺,而且GE的朋友说Bosch的生产线质量控制最严格(德国人的一贯作风)。
洗衣机和烘干机:(最好的品牌依次是Miele, Bosch, Electrolux, Maytag, Samsung)
Miele是世界最好的洗衣机,据说六十年代的Miele很多都还不坏,但是价格极其昂贵,只有一些Local的高档电器店才会卖。Bosch的最安静,节能,但是价格相对高一些。Electrolux的高端系列非常非常好,但是性价比没有Maytag和Samsung好。Maytag质量非常可靠,经常会有打折,可能是美国本土最后一家高质量洗衣机生产商。Samsung的review非常好,做工用材都很好,美国本土生产的,但是很多人觉得半路出家的Samsung还是没有老牌子牢靠。
我买了Bosch,因为一个法国朋友说在欧洲,一般房子比较小,进出不方便,人们买洗衣机就希望能够耐久免维修,而Bosch一直是口碑最好的。
炉灶:(最好的依次是Electrolux, Kenmore Elite, GE Profile)
炉灶没有什么科技含量,技术工艺都很纯熟,主要是比较用材。上述三个牌子用材最好,当然Kenmore和GE的普通产品线就差很多了。
我选择了Kenmore Elite,因为warranty好,感觉用材非常好。
微波炉:(最好的依次是Bosch, Sharp, Electrolux, Kenmore Elite, GE Profile)
微波炉不能省钱,因为任何微波炉都会泄漏微波,其实国内现在癌症发病率高与那些三四百块人民币的微波炉不无关系。微波炉的微波泄漏完全与工艺用材有关。我以前以为微波炉都是一样的,那个GE工作的朋友问我“Sharp和Bosch的能800美元一台,国内格兰仕的300人民币一台,你觉得这个差别仅仅是汇率问题吗?”他还说,格兰仕那种微波炉一边cook你的食物一边cook你的内藏。
结果被吓到了,花了700多买了个Sharp的。
关于Deals:
- 其实最好的deals都是Black Friday和圣诞节
- Lowes和PC Richard & Son的电器比Home Depot便宜,要货比三家
- 有些东西可以通过Bing Cashback在网上买,Sears的20% cashback是有效的,进入http://dealsea.com/view-deal/36774 然后点Microsoft Bing的链接,进去后先登录Bing Microsoft帐号然后点击上面第二个Panasonic....sears.com那个链接,这样所有东西都是20% cashback了
- Lowes店里偶尔有Reduced Tag电器,就是外面有瑕疵的,大多数时候是根本不明显的一个小坑,电器是全新的但是一般会达到原价的3-5折

MIELE所有的东西都很好,德国制造,太信得过了。我要是有米,大部分电器都用MIELE的,一定要那个builtin咖啡机,豆子进去,espresso出来,oh year~~

其实也就那么几个厂家啦
There are only a limited number a major appliance manufacturers left in the marketplace. Over the years, the big ones have bought up the smaller ones and merged those product designs into their own product lines. They now produce products under the various brand names they own.
Often there is only cosmetic differences in the appearance of the appliance, while the underlying mechanical workings are very similar, if not the same. The manufacturers warranty may also differ between brands and models.
To aid in comparing new appliances, I have compiled a list of some of the major appliance manufacturers and the brand names they own. I have also tried to note where a product with a particular brand name varies greatly from the other brands of the same manufacturer.
