I had a Samsung washer that made me thankful that I don't own a sledgehammer, because if I did I knew I would have taken that useless thing outside and smashed it to bits with extraordinary glee, which would have caused concern in my neighborhood. The happiest day I had with it was when they took it away after installing the new Whirlpool I bought instead. Edit: it came with the house and in the 6 months that I put up with it, 90%+ of the time it never completed a wash on the first try.
