One of my previous apartments came with new GE everything -- gas stove tops, oven, fridge, regular sized washer and dryer. During my time there, both as a resident and as landlord for something like 4 - 6 years, they have all worked flawlessly. I thought the appliances were of high quality, and they even withstood the abuse from my tenants when I no longer lived there.

I've had some terrible experience with Whirlpool washers and dryers. They were utter garbage. We bought a set of apartment-sized ones for our tenant when the existing set died (unsure of brand now). I think they lasted maybe ~3 yrs while having 1 major failure some time beyond the 1 year warranty mark. We later replaced that Whirlpool set with another Whirlpool set -- I know, but the tenants needed something right away, and there wasn't anything else in that size in stock at the time -- and that second set lasted maybe 2 or 3 years, with its final year being intermittently non-functional. Don't waste your time or money on these. Their slightly cheaper prices are totally not worth your trouble. Another thing was, both the washer and dryer were noise AF. Not good in a small apartment at all.

We replaced the pos Whirlpool set with an entry level model Bosch set, and the Bosch were absolutely fantastic. And they were very quiet too. Perhaps because they were an entry level model, they really weren't that much more expensive than other brands.
