In addition to the manufacturer, the type of appliance and its manufacture date really matters. I have an LG front-loading washing machine from the late 2000s that has been working fine for 14 years with one minor circuit board replacement. My appliance repair guy says that LGs from that timeframe are very reliable. When the motor bearings on that washer go out, I'll have him replace the motor if OEM replacement motors are available rather than buy a new one.
Refrigerators are a completely different animal as are dishwashers, etc. Despite my great experiences with LG washers, I'd avoid LG refrigerators. I've had good experience with multiple Bosch and Miele dishwashers, but mediocre experiences on all the new fridges I've bought in the last 10 years.
