    For people interested an extensive report by French appliance store after sale service. It gives the reliability of each brand. There is a note for the reliability, ease and cost of repair.

    It’s only in French unfortunately : https://www.darty.com/achat/services/barometre-sav/barometre.html

  Honestly I don’t get why Rossman cry so much about “he expected that his $2000> TV would not track him or at least have the option turned off by default.”

  Why shouldn’t they? Why would anyone expect in the first place that by buying a more expensive product they are going to care about your data? Obviously it benefits them to sell everyone’s data, from Rossman’s point of view it sounds like people who buy cheap products deserve to have their data sold because the company is making a loss by selling them the product.

    Yeah he’s really upset about LG, but it seems like everything tracks you these days. Seems a bit shortsighted to just shit on LG and no one else.

    • webhead@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      He shits on everyone all the time. It’s not exclusive to LG or even Apple. It’s just whatever happens to come to his attention. Which is basically pick a company and they’re doing something horrible.

  citing Rossmann?

  • cogman@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    There’s some appliance breakdown vids (idk if Rossman is one of them) but the gist is Samsung and LG like to put cheap plastic parts in high wear locations which inevitably fail.

    Fridges are dead simple appliances. A compressor and evaporator coils with a temperature sensor. There’s absolutely no reason they shouldn’t outlast you and everyone you love.

    It’s insane these “premium” brands are built to fall like they do.

    source

    • Kecessa@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Real premium brands do last, but not everyone wants to pay 10k for a fridge

      source

      • thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I mean, having to replace a fridge every few years because it constantly breaks in a way that’s uneconomical to repair will cost you a lot more in the long run.

        That’s the thing, it’s more expensive being poor.

        You’d be better off getting a 2nd hand quality brand from a wealthy suburb when they remodel their kitchen every 5ish years or so.

        Checking what a fridge cost you in 1980 in an old Sears catalog, you’d be paying $4000 today accounting for inflation.

        An insulated box with a decent compressor does not cost 10k. Making a compressor that fails after 2 years is actually hard to do, something both LG and Samsung spent time and money to achieve.

        Consider, for example, that nearly every car manufactured with an AC. Which is exactly the same tech as a fridge. Yet you rarely end up needing to replace the compressor on your car. You might need to recharge it or clean it, but not replace the compressor. 10k of your car price isn’t the HVAC.

        Premium brands are not industrial brands. Goal of premium brands is to be as expensive as possible.

      And he likes to rant about brands that are generally against consumer rights (and common sense).

  I like our used Samsung dryer. For basic drying. It has all those other bells and whistles that I don't care about, but it's done well for years. That damn finished drying tune though...with the option to turn it off or...not turn it off. omg

    I like the washer and not the dryer. Had the set for 4 years. No issues with the washer but the dryer literally leaks lint. The trap doesn’t catch it and it gums up my vents in 2 months.

    source

    • Rhaedas@fedia.io ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Good to know. I regularly pull it out and clean the vent with a vent extension brush anyway, once I got a house with a long vent where all sorts of things can settle. Huge fire hazard that most home owners don't even think about. It seems to be catching the lint it ought to be, but perhaps this goes back to the idea that even in a line of product you can have good and bad machines made.

  7 years ago I bought a brand new Samsung washer and dryer. After I hooked up everything for the washer (correctly), when I set it to hot water, cold would come out, and vice versa. Had it taken aware and Lowe’s replaced it with another brand new one. This time, the two guys who dollied in the firstly one, I had them hook everything up. Exact same thing happened. Hot for cold, cold for hot. These two guys were flabbergasted. They couldn’t believe two brand new washers were having the same defect. Same two guys brought another one the next day. Finally, the third one worked correctly.

  I haven’t had any problems since. But still, ridiculous it took three tries to get a functioning washer.

  I wish I had friends. It would’ve prevented me from buying the shitty dishwasher that last less than 3 years.
