Reliability
Which appliance brands actually hold up
This hub will rank brands by documented CPSC recall history and cited litigation — never a per-model reliability score, because that structured data doesn't exist anywhere (CPSC's Model field is blank in the overwhelming majority of filings we sampled; see methodology). Brand-level facts only, every claim cited to a primary source.
Not built yet — here's exactly what's planned
We'd rather ship nothing than fabricate a reliability score. This section goes live once the CPSC recall pull and litigation citations are sourced and QA'd — no placeholder ratings in the meantime.
Most Reliable Brands Coming soon
Brand-level synthesis from CPSC recall frequency and documented litigation — never a per-model claim (structured per-SKU recall data does not exist).
Brands to Avoid Coming soon
The inverse view: brands with the heaviest recall/litigation history, cited to primary sources — CPSC filings and court records, not forum consensus.
Documented Litigation Tracker Coming soon
Samsung ice-maker (settled) vs. LG "craft ice" (active) — a freshness hook nobody in this space has synthesized yet.
In the meantime: certified specs and computed running cost for every model are already live in the product database and on every model page. See our methodology and why we refuse star ratings.
