> And I read some horror stories about samsung home appliances when I was looking to buy them last year.
I can add to that. From a previous comment: "I actually just replaced a 3 year old Samsung Electric Dryer. The heat was no longer working, and I suspect it was the heating element. To access the heating element required me to: - Take off the control board - Take off the entire top of the dryer - Take out the door - Take out the Front panel - Take out the drum
I only figured this out after finding a service manual, as I did not want to risk destroying a dryer to figure out how to fix it. A new heating element was $80 off the grey market. I wanted to see how much it would be to get it fixed by a service place, and any service place I went to wanted to charge $100 just to look at it!
When I saw a new dryer was $400, I just decided I did not want to deal with it anymore and bought a new dryer.

I had a Samsung fridge, it would constantly reboot... Samsung products just flat out suck in my experience. They insist on installing shitty software on everything.

I will not be buying Samsung products again. "
