Rental Property Appliance Packages

[Syed Shah]

Looking to preemptively replace appliances for a rental house, as they are old(from 2004).

Is there any preferred brand among BP community, like GE or Frigidaire, etc which is more robust and reliable for a rental house?

Looking for a package for Fridge, range and dishwasher, planning to check out Lowe's, HD, Best Buy and Costco. Is there any other vendor which should be checked out?

If anyone has bought recently, appreciate their valuable feedback, thank you.

I typically get used appliances for a rental house off Craigslist or FB marketplace. If they are not giving me trouble I don't replace them. If they do have a problem I send an appliance repair guy out to fix them.

I have only bought new on rare occasions. Then I go to Home Depot and find what is on sale.

Unless you have a high end rental, I recommend you do the same.

In my own houses and in new builds or big remodels I go with a GE package from HD. They tend to have a better offering at the lower end of the cost spectrum and they’ve been relatively trouble free for me. The microwaves had issues for a couple years, but I think they’ve resolved that problem. They’re newest stainless finish is way better than the last iteration.

@John Underwood Agreed. Facebook marketplace and Craigslist hvae been amazing... The sweet spot is trying to find a new construction neighborhood where the homeowner couldn't get the applicances they wanted when they built so they bought new appliances and trying to get rid of their brand new appliances that came with the home.
