Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges

BallShapedMan@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

My parents bought a fancy Samsung fridge with a screen 5 years ago. We bought LG. In the first year they had theirs serviced 6 times before replacing it with the same LG fridge we have. Earlier this year right before the extended warranty ran out the compressor on my fridge died. They’ve not had a single problem with theirs yet.

My brother bought a Samsung TV that was supposed to be better than my LG OLED. In the first year the anti glare coating wore off enough that there are bright spots you can’t not see. My LG TV is fine.

Remarkable that there were no typos in that post, despite being typed on a Smasnug phone

I couldn’t even list all the horror stories I’ve heard firsthand about Samsung appliances, including massive damage to people’s houses caused by leaks.

  When my parents were shopping for a washing machine a couple of years ago, they asked their friend who works at Home Depot what seemed to be reliable and he basically said "anything but Samsung". They had way more Samsung returns than anything else.

    Samsung appliances have had a bad reputation for more than a decade now. I don't know how they can still sell appliances - how is it not everyone knows yet? How is it they still haven't fixed the quality problems?

    my lab has 14 Samsung fridges, now 5 years old and no problems. But, they just are fridges, no ice or water or other bullshit people seem to love.

    Samsung is a big name, and people don’t buy appliances that often.

  We bought our gas oven from Samsung and the front right burner wouldn’t light after a few weeks. We got a full refund, but the front right burner started working again a few months later, and we still use the stove, though the oven light epileptically glitches every time we open the oven.
  
  So, sure, you could pay for things that actually work. But it’s like that tagline at the end of Samsung advertisements:
  
  Samsung: Buy Samsung, Then Get All Your Money Back, And Possibly Also Receive A Mostly Working Appliance For Free.
