I suggest you may want to take a look at Consumer Reports at the

I never had much confidence in their appliance ratings. I've seen the same
appliance under different brand names with very different ratings. How can
that be?


Ford makes a good car and a bad car. Same with appliances. CR always
rates specific models, although they give repair records for brands.
