When shopping for an appliance package, there are a staggering number of features and brands to choose from, and it can be difficult to know where to start. Before you fall for a Miele range or a Sub-Zero refrigerator, both fantastic options, it’s a good idea to set a budget and shop around. When comparing appliances, take the time to compare features, ask questions, and read reviews to really determine what separates one brand from another. And don’t forget to consider maintenance and repair costs; for example, how costly is KitchenAid fridge repair in Langley versus repair costs on a Sub-Zero or a Miele?

There have typically been 3 tiers of appliance packages:Economy, mid-range and high-end. Amana and Danby offer very basic, affordable kitchen appliance options for those on a tight budget. The high-end market is dominated by several brands, including Miele, Sub-Zero and Wolf, and Viking. The mid-range market also has a ton of players, all offering a range of similar appliances and features at varying price points; brands include well known names such as Whirlpool, GE, LG, Samsung, and KitchenAid.

Mid-range luxury appliances have emerged to satisfy consumers who desire high-end features without the high-end price tag. Typically, mid-range players such as KitchenAid, Samsung, and Bosch have all come out with affordable luxury appliance options while not sacrificing the quality that they have been known for. And what is nice about these big names coming out with luxury end appliances is that replacement parts and skilled repair technicians are widely available. For example, should you need KitchenAid fridge repair in Langley, a local service tech with access to affordable replacement costs would be readily available. Should your Miele break down, however, replacement parts often have to be special ordered, and can be very expensive.

No matter the type of appliance package you choose to suit your needs and budget, it is a large investment, one that you plan on keeping for many years to come. While most of the top name appliance brands offer fantastic quality, there may come a time when your appliance requires repairs. This is true whether you have paid $10,000 for a Sub-Zero refrigerator or $5,000 for a similar style KitchenAid. Repairs and replacement parts for your Sub-Zero can become quite costly, as both the labour and parts are more expensive. By comparison however, KitchenAid fridge repair in Langley, as well as replacement parts, are much more affordable.
