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.
Comment on Samsung brings ads to US fridges
cygnus@lemmy.ca 6 months agoI 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.

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.
