How to shop for large Appliance

“How to Shop for a Large Appliance in 2025.”
CR offers expert tips and tactics to help you find the large appliance you want—for the right price.

If you’re shopping for a large appliance, you’re probably on the lookout for a washer or dryer (or both), a refrigerator, or some other major kitchen appliance, like a range, cooktop, or wall oven. “You’re putting in [the large appliance] and hoping it stays there for 10 to 15 years,” says Ken Miele, CEO of the Appliance Dealers Cooperative in Monroe, N.J., which supplies large appliances to more than 200 independent appliance dealers.

Small appliances, on the other hand, are any appliances that can be easily moved around and plugged in, such as dehumidifiers and air fryers.

….With longevity in mind, reliability is one of the most important considerations when it comes to buying a large appliance, alongside performance. That’s why the best large appliance brands are also the most reliable appliance brands. (Miele also adds dealership reliability, or where you buy your large appliance, to this list.)

You’ll also want to consider the average cost of your appliance and whether it’s worthwhile to haggle. While we’ve found that many people don’t bargain for their large appliances, those who do are often successful.
