I've been happy with my Electrolux fridge (it's only seven years old but literally zero maintenance in that time and it's still working like a champ), which I bought because my parents were happy with theirs which they'd bought five or six years before I got mine. Theirs is still going well too.

My washing machine is a Bosch series 8 which has also been really good, same age, no problems.

One thing to be wary of (sorry to muddy the waters), is that some brands sell their name in some regions.

So a tfal pan is legit in Europe, but a Chinese cheap knockoff in Canada, the brand name sold to Canadian Tire.
