NYC Condo Kitchen Appliance Brands by Price
Summary: The appliance package is one of the clearest signals of where a new condo sits in the market. We matched the fridge and cooktop brands in NYC condo offering plans filed since 2019 to each building's price per square foot.
Refrigerators
Every NYC condo offering plan lists the appliances that come with each apartment, often down to the model number. We pulled the refrigerator and cooktop brands from 1,236 plans first filed since 2019 and grouped the 978 we could price by the building's price per square foot.
Under $1,000 a square foot, Frigidaire and GE lead. From $1,000 to $2,500, Bosch is the most common. At $2,500 and up it's Sub-Zero, Gaggenau and Miele, though that tier is small: 39 plans name a fridge brand.
| Price per square foot | Plans | Most common fridge brands |
|---|---|---|
| Under $1,000 a sq ft | 239 | Frigidaire (28%), GE (12%), Liebherr (10%), Samsung (10%) |
| $1,000 to $2,499 a sq ft | 639 | Bosch (15%), Fisher & Paykel (12%), Frigidaire (11%), Miele (9%) |
| $2,500 a sq ft or more | 39 | Sub-Zero (36%), Gaggenau (26%), Miele (23%), Bosch (10%) |
Notice Fisher & Paykel (0% of mid-tier plans) and Liebherr (8%) in the middle tier. Both make sleek panel-ready fridges that disappear into the cabinetry, a high-end look without the Sub-Zero price tag.
Cooktops and Ranges
In the middle tier, Fisher & Paykel fridges and Bertazzoni ranges are close behind the leader. At $2,500 a square foot and up, Miele, Gaggenau and Wolf are the most common cooktops.
| Price per square foot | Plans | Most common cooktop brands |
|---|---|---|
| Under $1,000 a sq ft | 254 | Frigidaire (28%), GE (22%), Miele (9%), Bosch (9%) |
| $1,000 to $2,499 a sq ft | 648 | Bosch (18%), Bertazzoni (15%), Miele (11%), Frigidaire (10%) |
| $2,500 a sq ft or more | 39 | Miele (36%), Gaggenau (31%), Wolf (18%), Bosch (8%) |
Bertazzoni, the Italian range maker, is a favorite in mid-priced buildings (15% of them): it gives a kitchen a pro-style look at a lower cost than Wolf.
Some buildings stick to one premium line. 80 Clarkson specifies a Gaggenau cooktop and oven with a Sub-Zero fridge, Paragon uses Gaggenau throughout, and The Florian pairs a Sub-Zero fridge with a Wolf range.
The Extras
- Wine fridges appear in 192 of the plans filed since 2019, and Sub-Zero makes 26% of them, followed by Summit, U-Line and Thermador.
- Microwaves are often built in. Bosch, GE and Miele lead.
- Range hoods are worth a look. Among the 333 plans that describe them, 23% are recirculating, meaning they filter air and blow it back into the kitchen instead of venting outside.
Laundry Doesn't Follow the Rules
Even in buildings at $2,500 a square foot or more, the most common washer is Whirlpool (24%), followed by LG (21%) and GE (15%); Miele, the luxury kitchen name, appears in 12%. That rests on just 33 plans, but the pattern is clear: in laundry, a compact machine that fits a closet seems to matter more than the logo. More in what NYC condos promise about laundry.
| Whirlpool | 24% |
|---|---|
| LG | 21% |
| GE | 15% |
| Bosch | 12% |
| Miele | 12% |

Tips for Buyers
- Look up the model numbers. The plan often lists them, and brands make both entry-level and top-end lines. A Bosch 300 Series and a Bosch Benchmark are very different appliances.
- Watch for "or equal." Many plans let the developer substitute "an equal or better" appliance. Ask what's actually installed.
- Check the cooktop fuel along with the brand. Many new buildings have no gas. See gas vs. induction in new NYC condos.
- Ask about warranties. Appliance warranties usually start at installation, which may be months before you close.
