      Granted, this is just an anecdote, but I have several Samsung appliances; oven/stove, dishwasher, microwave, televisions, smart phone(okay, I guess those are technically an electronic), and I haven’t had any issues with them. They’ve served me well, even if I haven’t been the kindest to them.

      I guess the point I’m trying to make is “your mileage may vary.”

        I got one Samsung TV for free for one reason or another – it never really worked properly because all its spyware shit kept tripping up on my custom DNS server.

            There is no good reason to connect any tv to the internet. External devices, those can be connected. But to me the tv is just a big dumb screen.

              I disagree; I find it useful to have apps like YouTube on my TV, it’s handy not having to plug in another device to watch content.

      This. I worked in appliance sales for years and we constantly had issues with Samsung. Their ice makers are complete garbage.

        Their TVs are great, had 1 for more than 10 years and a second going on 6 and we’re really happy both.

        Can’t speak for anything else though.

          True - their TV and monitors are good - I was talking specifically about their washing/drying/fridge.

        They have a reputation for not lasting very long. I’ve already been avoiding them for that reason, so when I see a $4000 Samsung fridge I’m like lol nope
