βThese Samsung appliances look niceβ¦β
Yes they doβ and thatβs all they do well. That, and break in expensive ways, often and early.
Avoid Samsung appliances.
Edit: I sell appliances
That's disappointing since Samsung is such a big and well-known brand. Good to know though, so thanks.
Even as an iPhone guy, Iβll say that their consumer electronics are just fine. Very good, even.
But their appliances are crap. Apparently, they used to be quite good, but once they got a bug up their ass about sticking a bonkers amount of tech into them, they started cutting costs on build quality, so they just donβt last more than a few years before parts start crapping out.
Companies like LG and GE are much better at balancing tech, quality, reliability, and price points.
I don't know if it's still an issue, but their older TVs were riddled with bad capacitors: https://www.cnet.com/tech/home-entertainment/samsung-settlement-warrants-older-tvs-with-faulty-capacitors/
I still have one of their HD TVs from like 2012, and it has bad capacitors and periodically resets itself, but I've never had it fixed π
