@RadkeJen Definitely shop around… Home Depot / Lowe’s is “affordable” but you get what you pay for… the models of whatever brand (LG, etc) you get at a big box is made just for those big box stores and are usually not the same quality if you bought direct
@RadkeJen Used to match, but not any more. Some brands do certain appliances better and some not. For example many microwaves are all Sharp (even under another brand name) … also the best dishwasher I’ve ever had was Bosch, but so hard to find now bc of Covid supply chain issues
