The 5 Best Kitchen Appliances To Buy At Lowe's In 2026

Whether you're equipping your first kitchen or giving your existing space an upgrade, you might be unsure about where to get the essentials. Among the many retailers and showrooms, Lowe's offers a slew of kitchenware must-haves under $25 — from drinking glasses to cooking and dining utensils to cookware. You can also buy a wide variety of kitchen appliances, large and small, at the home improvement retailer. Fortunately, at least a handful of them stand out among the myriad options.

If you were to search for the best kitchen appliances at Lowe's, you might be overwhelmed with the results featuring popular brands like Frigidaire, GE, Maytag, Whirlpool, and KitchenAid. Daily Meal has sifted through the appliance categories — refrigerators, ranges, dishwashers, over-the-range microwaves, and small appliances — to find which model from each offers the best features, performance, longevity, and/or price compared to the others.

While curating this list, we also focused on kitchen appliances that have high ratings (4.5 stars and above) from thousands of customers. The price of each is included and based on the standard retail cost at the time of writing, but keep in mind that Lowe's may offer sales prices throughout the year.

Considered by customers to be one of the best refrigerator brands, Frigidaire is a pioneer in this category of kitchen appliances, starting with the first self-contained electric refrigerator in 1918. Alongside its classic Frigidaire line, it makes the Frigidaire Gallery for homeowners who want a happy medium between basic and professional-grade products — mainly a modern design with easy-to-use controls.

This Frigidaire Gallery GRMC2273CD model has earned 4.7 stars from over 11,500 ratings at Lowe's and over 10,200 ratings on the brand's website. Featuring a 22.5-cubic-foot interior, customers love that the counter-depth design makes their kitchens look seamless and more spacious without hindering storage. It's also Energy Star certified with a TwinTech cooling system that maintains even airflow distribution and temperature throughout. Plus, you never have to worry about the doors being left ajar by accident because they automatically close when the opening is 5 inches or less.

On top of that, you can order this Frigidaire Gallery 4-door refrigerator at Lowe's for $3,599. That's cheaper than a lot of other refrigerators of a similar size with four doors, which can range from just $100 to over $1,000 more.

Touted as "America's #1 Appliance Company," GE Appliances has been making kitchen products since 1907. The company's signature mass-produced namesake brand may be one of its most recognizable, but GE Appliances, a Haier company, owns several kitchen appliance brands, including Bodewell, Hotpoint, and Monogram. Since its first range with an insulated oven was introduced in 1913, giving it plenty of experience in the market, a GE range is a sound choice for your kitchen.

This GE JBS86SPSS model, though, has earned 4.5 stars from more than 5,000 Lowe's customer ratings and 4.6 stars from over 3,800 ratings on the company's website. Clearly a well-performing appliance, customers generally love the versatility of the burner sizes, with a fifth burner for a warming zone. They also note that the two ovens preheat fast and evenly cook and bake food. With the air fry feature, though, you don't have to preheat or even use a separate air fryer appliance, which saves space on your countertop.

Also available in a gas fuel model, you can get this GE freestanding double oven electric range for $1,699 at Lowe's. It's actually one of the cheapest options among similar ranges, which can be about $200 to $3,500 more for luxury brands.

While the Maytag brand (established in 1893) didn't grace kitchen appliances until 1946 with its first ranges and refrigerators produced by other companies, those were discontinued in the '50s and '60s, respectively. The company started making its own portable dishwashers in 1966 and then launched built-in dishwashers in 1969. Ever since, it has continued to produce a full line of dishwashers that stand up to whatever dirty dishes you throw at it.

This Maytag MDB4949SKZ model has earned 4.5 stars from over 13,500 ratings at Lowe's and over 11,700 ratings on the brand's website. One of the biggest advantages that customers note is its excellent cleaning power. In fact, Maytag dishwashers are built with the market's most powerful motors to deliver more heavy-duty cleaning power than competitors. It even makes them stand out against Whirlpool even though both brands have been owned by the same parent — Whirlpool Corporation — since 2006. Despite the powerful motor, this Maytag dishwasher runs at a quiet 50 decibels max, which is comparable to office or light traffic noise.

Additionally, this Maytag model has the largest-capacity tub of all dishwashers with an extra-large upper rack for bulky pots and pans. The interior is completely made of stainless steel, and the appliance features the PowerBlast cycle to remove stubborn, stuck-on foods. You can order the Maytag Dual Power Filtration dishwasher with PowerBlast at Lowe's for $888. Although that's more expensive than most dishwashers at the retailer, it's comparable to some Whirlpool models and worth it for the features and space.

Laundry machines might be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Whirlpool Corporation because the company has been making them since 1911, when it was established as Upton Machine Co. However, the company has been producing kitchen appliances since its 1955 merger with Seeger Refrigerator Co. and Radio Corp. of America, expanding to a full line that includes over-the-range microwaves.

This Whirlpool WMH31017HZ model has a solid 4.5 stars from more than 19,500 ratings from Lowe's customers who generally like the sleek, modern design. Actually, the retailer has it labeled as a best seller. It comes with presets and automatic cooking modes that use sensor cooking to adjust power and cook time for you, as well as AccuPop — a feature the brand launched in 2014 that uses sound sensors to listen and adapt cooking time for the perfect popcorn every time.

Like with over-the-range microwaves in general, this 1.7-cubic-foot Whirlpool has an adjustable cooktop light and an exhaust fan. What sets it apart from other brands of the same size, though, is the fan's ability to reach a maximum of 400 cubic feet per minute, which is how much air the fan can move. Priced at $432 at Lowe's, this model is more expensive than those other brands but the cheapest among slightly larger over-the-range microwaves with the same exhaust fan capacity. Whirlpool also calls it the "quietest ventilation system" in its microwaves, making this kitchen appliance brand worth every penny.

KitchenAid may be one of the biggest and most well-known small kitchen appliance brands in existence. After all, it has been making stand mixers since 1919. The brand's appliance lineup has expanded over the century to include everything from blenders, coffee machines, and food processors to dishwashers, ranges, and refrigerators. Despite that, it's still the leading stand mixer brand in the world.

Because of that, it's no surprise that this KitchenAid KSM150PSER model is among the best-selling appliances at Lowe's. Customers have given it 4.9 stars from nearly 19,600 ratings, praising the mixer for its excellent design and versatility, and the brand's website echoes that praise with 4.8 stars from nearly 30,000 ratings. While the Empire Red is a popular choice, lots of colors are available to suit any kitchen design. The stand mixer also comes with everything you need to get started — a coated flat beater, coated dough hook, and 6-wire whip. Plus, there are more than a dozen KitchenAid mixer attachments you can buy (separately, of course).

This KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-quart tilt-head stand mixer is available at Lowe's for $499.99, which is more costly than other brands like Hamilton Beach (including its Professional line). What puts it over the top as the best one to buy and well worth the price are the brand's longstanding reputation and the appliance's durable, built-to-last stainless steel construction. In fact, many people have been using theirs for at least 15 years.
