For homeowners hoping to spend their maintenance budget wisely, there are various things that are worth buying from Lowe's. Furniture, paint, and gardening supplies, for example, can be found in abundance there, and often at pocket-friendly prices. It's a one-stop-shop for spend-savvy renovators, offering everything from doors and windows to lighting fixtures. And if you need to upgrade or replace an old appliance, you'll find products from some of the nation's favorite appliance manufacturers, including Whirlpool.

Covering everything from cooking and refrigeration to laundry and more, Lowe's lineup of Whirlpool appliances allows for plenty of choices. But it can also make it hard to narrow down your options, especially if you want to ensure your money is spent on the best appliances possible. To make the process easier, we've pulled together some of the highest-rated Whirlpool appliances currently available at Lowe's. Some use AI in order to get your dishes dazzlingly clean, while others slot seamlessly into your smart home system. There are frost-free freezers with customizable storage, and if your dryer is failing to live up to the job description, you'll find some well-reviewed replacements for that, too.

Featuring a frost-free design, plus 19.6 cubic feet of internal storage space, this Frost-free Upright Freezer from Whirlpool has several attributes that make it attractive to users. That frost-free design is among the most important. In fact, Whirlpool states that it entirely eliminates the need to defrost your freezer, which would leave buyers with one less cleaning job to tick off their to-do list. It has a fast-freeze setting to help preserve your food's quality, particularly when you're adding larger loads of unfrozen goods. There's also a light on the inside, which makes it easier to find what you're looking for.

As for ratings, it currently scores 4.6 stars overall. That's the result of more than 900 user reviews to date, 76% of which gave the appliance full marks. Reading through them, buyers repeatedly praise the unit's generous storage space. Points are also awarded for the shelves, which, to make life easier with larger items, can be moved around to optimize your storage. "I didn't realize how much room I would have with the 19 CF freezer!" said one buyer, who bought it to replace a smaller chest freezer. They added that it's now much easier for them to organize and find their food, and that they're overall happy with the new freezer.

Above your stove is one of the best places to keep your microwave, especially in smaller kitchens where counter space is scarce. It's best done with a dedicated appliance — one with built-in ventilation to ensure that, in lieu of a range hood, your kitchen isn't filled with fumes. Whirlpool's 1.7 cubic feet Over-the-Range Microwave is one of several such appliances available at Lowe's. It's among the highest rated, too. It includes several features to help ensure even cooking and defrosting, including an "AccuPop" function to prevent burnt popcorn on movie night. It's also fitted with what Whirlpool describes as its quietest ventilation system for microwaves of this type.

Back to those ratings, and with more than 19,600 reviews to date, it achieves a 4.5-star overall rating. 70% of users have awarded it 5 stars, with many praising its sleek, stainless steel (and fingerprint resistant) design and straightforward operation. "Love how it fits right in with my stove," said one user, who added that they intend to find a new refrigerator to match. Another, who explained that it's yet to let them down, upgraded from a previous appliance in the range. "The new model has some different features but more than anything I really appreciate how it cooks, defrosts, and reheats consistently every time!"

We know, we've already featured a freezer. However, whereas the previous appliance was well suited to larger households, Whirlpool's 15.7-cubic-feet Upright Freezer slots more easily into small spaces. And yet, it draws on many of the same features that make its more spacious sibling so popular. It has a light inside to make finding your food easier, along with a fast-freeze option to ensure everything reaches temperature quickly without spoilage. It's also frost-free, meaning you won't have to worry about defrosting it. It, too, has customizable storage, with movable shelves that enable you to store larger items.

As for ratings, it still scores 4.5 stars with more than 13,800 reviews. Some buyers like how easy it is to reconfigure the internal shelves, and there are plenty who simply said that it's a good, reliable freezer. However, what really stands it out from the larger model is the unit's balance between size, storage capacity, and just as importantly, affordability. "This freezer provides ample storage and takes up a small space," said one user, who added that it's a simple, quality freezer with minimal gadgets to go wrong. In the words of another, "Just the right size and a very good bang for the buck!"

One downside with this particular type of appliance is that over-the-range microwaves risk making a kitchen look outdated. The risk is greatest with large, bulky appliances — however, it is possible to buy slimline units that do less to intrude on your kitchen's sight lines. Whirlpool's 1.1-cubic-feet Low Profile Over-the-Range Microwave is one example. Along with its smaller profile, it also features a hidden control panel to further streamline the design. Impressively, while it's built to take up less space, it can still handle bulky items, including tall glasses, wide plates, and large bowls.

The reviews appear to concur with the promises made by the spec sheet, with 72% of more than 6,850 buyers to date awarding it 5 stars. It scores 4.5 stars overall, with one buyer explaining, "It works well and it's not taking much space on top of the stove. Nice look and we love it." Another, who owned one for six years in their previous home, explained that they went out and bought the same exact model for their new house. The reason? In their own words, "It's compact, gives you plenty of room on top of your stove. It's a Whirlpool. It works great."

Another appliance from Whirlpool that's suited to smaller spaces is this 24-inch Glass Top Electric Range. In fact, it's listed as a small space solution, one that Whirlpool states can help owners "serve up big meals, even in small spaces." The reviews to date seem to validate this promise, but before we get to those, it's worth noting the specs. In order to slot into smaller kitchens, it sacrifices the fifth burner that makes larger models potentially more versatile for avid cooks. However, that stove features hot surface lights to ensure you can "see" when the unit's hot — even after it's turned off — to help improve safety. Whirlpool's Upswept SpillGuard employs raised edges to contain spills and make cleaning easier, and beneath, it features a fan-assisted oven along with a broiler.

Reviews have earned this oven an overall rating of 4.5 stars. More than 1,380 users have taken the time to offer feedback, and of those, 64% awarded it the highest rating. Its sleek, easy-clean design contributes to many of these reviews, and there are many who praised its suitability for smaller spaces. As one buyer explained, "It does everything a full size range does and takes up less space."

As we've already seen, Whirlpool has a bevy of over-the-range microwaves to choose from. Its 1.9 cubic-feet Over-the-Range Microwave offers a slight upgrade in terms of capacity versus those featured so far. It retains a sleek design with a touch-control panel which, while not as "pared back" as the Low Profile model, nevertheless helps to minimize its visual impact on your kitchen. A three-speed hood vent helps keep smoke and fumes from your stove clear of your kitchen, while a removable filter makes it easy to clean away grease. The interior of the microwave is non-stick, too, which further helps keep cleaning time to a minimum. As for cooking, it employs sensors which track the progress of your food to ensure it cooks evenly.

Of course, all of this means little if the reviews don't stack up. In this case, a 4.5-star overall rating suggests that most buyers are pleased with this particular appliance. Indeed, of more than 1,380 reviews to date, 71% awarded it top marks, which is good to know if you're in the market for a microwave. "Great microwave," said one user, who explained, "I'm pretty impressed with the non-stick inside, lighting, and ventilation." Other users praise its modern design, and importantly, most agree that it works well, including one buyer who said it's "The best microwave I've had! Heats items fast!"

While it's known as a value brand, the thing to know about Whirlpool dryers is that they're widely regarded for their reliability. Of course, some models curry more favor among buyers than others, with durability and long-term performance just two of several factors that come into play. But as far as this 7-cubic-feet Vented Electric Dryer is concerned, buyers seem highly satisfied with their purchase. Regarding features, it includes sensors that stop the cycle when the garments inside are dry, thus protecting them from damage and over-drying. A feature known as "WrinkleShield" helps reduce crinkles by continuing to tumble (without heat) after the cycle ends. It has lights that come on when it's time to clean your dryer vent, and its 7-cubic-feet capacity is suited to larger loads.

Moving onto those all important reviews, it achieves a 4.5 star rating overall with feedback from more than 1,060 users to date. 77% of those gave the dryer 5 stars, with one recent buyer saying, "So far so good, easy to use, dries great." Others praised the efficiency with which it dries (and the short times it takes to do it). Those sensors earn points among users, too, including one who said, "This Whirlpool electric dryer is extremely nice! It has several drying options and seems to be very gentle on clothes."

As with the previous model, the 7.4-cubic-feet Vented Electric Dryer with Steam Cycle is designed to prevent over-drying. It also shares the "WrinkleShield" feature, but with a slight difference. It uses what Whirlpool describes as WrinkleShield Plus, which uses steam to keep those crinkles from setting. You can also choose to run a steam refresh cycle on clothes that have been left in the drum for too long, and there's a static reduce feature to eliminate static cling. The appliance is also among Whirlpool's smart-home compatible products, meaning it can be connected to Wi-Fi and controlled via a mobile app.

That's quite a spec sheet. However, as always, it means little if the reviews don't back it up. In this case, the dryer earns a 4.4-star rating, with 69% of more than 4,550 users awarding it 5 stars. "Static reduction for the win," said one user, who added that there are lots of different settings to help dry your clothes perfectly. Another, who said that it "Works great," explained, "I am very satisfied with this dryer. Gets clothes dry and they don't come out all wrinkled." They added, "With its sleek design, it is a very nice looking dryer."

Next up in our guide is Whirlpool's 30-inch Glass Top 5-burner Convection Oven. Its five-burner stove offers users the same amount of space as the gas stove featured earlier, which is useful for foodies whose recipes are often complicated. Those burners are electric rather than gas, and they're controlled by a useful upright panel at the back of the unit. A double oven offers extra acreage for larger meals. Not only that, but it works to auto-adjust cook times and temperatures when converting traditional recipes for convection cooking. A "SteamClean" option helps to loosen baked-on messes, and the lower oven has a rapid pre-heat setting, helping you hit temps quickly on evenings when time's not on your side.

As for reviews, it scores a respectable 4.4 stars overall, with 68% of more than 4,000 users awarding it the highest rating. Those aforementioned features earn points from many users, as does the double-oven, which lends flexibility to those who need to cook simultaneous dishes at different temperatures. "Thank you, Whirlpool and Lowe's!" said one happy buyer. "I am the matriarch of my family and I love having the range's 2 optional ovens for my baking when I entertain guests at our beach home which is almost weekly!" They added that the oven is great to look at, and that it's just what they needed.

Another drawback with certain over-range microwaves is that they can look, well, obtrusive. They can protrude from the boundaries established by the cabinets on either side. Not only that, but taller cooks will know the frustration of catching their head on the corner of a bulky microwave. In all honesty, it's just the first problem that Whirlpool's Flush Built-in Over-the-Range Microwave is designed to solve. It's built, per the brand, to give your kitchen a designer look, with dimensions that enable it to slot "flush" between standard-depth cabinets. It offers 1,000 watts of cooking power, and 1.1 cubic-feet of capacity to handle most everyday items, including dishes up to 9 by 13 inches.

The oven uses Whirlpool's sensor cooking technology for even heating, and in terms of ventilation, it has three fan speeds to remove fumes and cooking odors from the stove beneath. It also has LED lighting to help you see what's simmering below. As for reviews, it scores 4.4 stars overall, with more than 500 user reviews to date. One user, who said that it ticks the most important boxes — like even and consistent cooking — added, "The flush design is a standout feature." They said it creates a clean, uncluttered look, while enhancing access to the stove below. "Overall," they explained, "it's functional, efficient, and aesthetically well-integrated into the space."
