We inherited a Bosch 12 years ago from the PO. It got something stuck in it three years ago and stopped working. I took it apart and looked in the choke points, finding nothing. Put it back together and it has worked ever since. We left a Maytag 12 years ago and it failed shortly after. I think there’s been a few second hand unknown brands in there since.
Our washer is an LG. I think they have a decent reputation.

We have an LG fridge with the linear compressor. They did have issues with the very early models, the first year or so of production IIRC, but I'm pretty sure it was addressed. We bought ours about 5 years ago from Lowes, bought an extended warranty on it just in case, and here we are 5 years later and the thing is a Timex. And with my whole home energy monitor I can see first hand how effecient it is - it is a true energy miser for sure.
Even the in-door ice maker still works perfect.
I think the stats I saw was that 8% of the linear compressor fridges were effected, and that was in the early years. I believe the issue got blown out of proportion compared to the number of people actually having issues, and like I said, I believe it's been resolved.
We love love love love love your Bosch dishwasher. The damn thing is not only near silent (It's insane, sometimes I am literally in the kitchen and can't hear it running), but I swear we could load it with a wheelbarrow and it would still get stuff perfectly clean. I've turned on a few of our friends to Bosch as well over the years and they are converts now as well.
For dishwashers, bosch all the way. 300 series or higher. Oioioi had trouble with one but everyone else I know hasn't. I got one from Costco for 900. 300 series with third drawer for cutlery which is awesome.
Coincidentally I just replaced my sister's Bosch dishwasher for her last week. It was still under warranty so it didn't cost her anything. It is quiet, but any dishwasher that's decent will be quiet now. Her LG fridge got replaced 2x under warranty, and when it failed the third time they just gave her a new fridge.
