Samsung Ranks Highest in 10 Segments; Costco and KitchenAid Rank Highest in One Segment Each
TROY, Mich.: People who purchase a new appliance primarily because of the price are far less satisfied than those who purchase for long-term benefits such as energy savings or a product guarantee/warranty, according to the J.D. Power 2024 U.S. Appliance Satisfaction Study,SM released today. Those who purchased for short-term savings because of a sale have an overall satisfaction of 714 (on a 1,000-point scale) and those who purchased because the product was environmentally friendly or had a warranty or guarantee have an overall satisfaction of 777 and 770, respectively. Additionally, only 38% of those who purchased for price say they “definitely will” purchase the same brand again compared to 56% for those who purchased because the appliance was environmentally friendly.
“Buying a home appliance based on price is similar to purchasing a plane ticket,” said Michael Taylor, senior managing director of retail intelligence practice at J.D. Power. “When people purchase on a discount or at low-end prices, it does not guarantee high satisfaction. Saving a buck on a durable good purchase today often comes at the expense of long-term satisfaction when buying a home appliance.”
The study measures customer satisfaction in 12 segments of major home appliances: cooktops; freestanding ranges; wall ovens; over-the-range microwaves; dishwashers; French door refrigerators; side-by-side refrigerators; top-mount freezer, two-door refrigerators; front-load clothes washers; top-load clothes washers; clothes dryers; and appliance retailers.
