Are GE Appliances still good?

Yes, GE Appliances are still good and are considered solid mid-tier brand offering good value, features, and US manufacturing, though not premium luxury like Miele. GE Appliances, owned by Haier since 2016 and headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, makes refrigerators in Decatur, Alabama, washers and dryers in Louisville, Kentucky, dishwashers in Louisville, and ranges in LaFayette, Georgia, with global parts. Based on Yale Appliance service data and Consumer Reports ratings in 2026, GE Appliances have first-year service call rates around 8 to 12 percent for most categories, which is near industry average of 10 to 15 percent, slightly higher than Whirlpool Corporation brands at 7 to 10 percent and LG at 6 to 9 percent, but lower than some Samsung models at 12 to 16 percent, indicating decent reliability. Strengths that make GE Appliances still good include SmartHQ app with WiFi across appliances for remote monitoring, Microban antimicrobial technology in washers and dishwashers that prevents odor, large US service network with inexpensive parts like refrigerator ice maker at 50 to 150 dollars, washer drain pump at 30 to 70 dollars, and dryer thermal fuse at 10 to 25 dollars that are widely stocked, innovative features like Keurig brewing in refrigerators and customizable hardware in Cafe line, and competitive pricing at 500 to 2,500 dollars. Common complaints include occasional control board failure from power surge. For families wanting good value with US support, GE Appliances are still good.
