Is Haier better than Whirlpool?

Whirlpool is generally better than Haier for most buyers in Canada and US, as Whirlpool is American brand with better reliability, extensive service network, and longer history, while Haier is Chinese budget brand that is better only for lowest price and owns GE Appliances which is competitive with Whirlpool. Whirlpool Corporation is American company founded in 1911 in Benton Harbor, Michigan, owning Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and JennAir brands, manufacturing appliances in US plants in Ohio, Tennessee, and Iowa with Made in USA label, known for good reliability lasting 10 to 12 years, with commercial-grade Maytag washers lasting longer, and extensive parts availability through Reliable Parts and service network across Canada at Home Depot Canada, Lowes Canada, and Best Buy Canada, with low repair rates according to technician surveys. Haier is Chinese brand founded in 1984 in Qingdao, China, world's largest appliance maker by volume, making budget appliances priced 30 to 40 percent lower than Whirlpool, with decent basic performance but average reliability lasting 8 to 10 years, with more plastic parts. However, Haier owns GE Appliances since 2016, which makes GE brand appliances in Louisville, Kentucky, USA that are competitive with Whirlpool for reliability and American-made quality. For overall brand, Whirlpool is better for reliability, service, and parts. So Whirlpool is better than Haier-branded products for reliability and service, but Haier-owned GE Appliances is comparable to Whirlpool, making Whirlpool better than Haier brand but equal to GE Appliances owned by Haier.
