> Their appliances (washer/dryer/etc) are notoriously unreliable

Yep. I am in a house that is all Sanmsung appliances. The Dishwasher's intake valve started leaking, the Oven's LCD panel broke and only showed garbled information, and the dryer's heating source broke. These were all appliances bought in 2019.

Thankfully, I was able to get replacement parts for the first two and fix easily enough, but there was no way to easily fix the dryer (I ended up getting a new dryer).

There is no way I would buy a Samsung Appliance again, and it frankly makes me question the quality of anything they make.



LG seems to be the more reliable alternative in each of these areas.


I went with AEG specifically because they guarantee at least 10 year of replacement parts availability on those specific devices.

To me that's more valuable than a 2 or 3 year warranty.


Possibly might want to stay away from their fridges though.


I think LG fixed their inverted linear compressor problem. I had to buy a few fridges a few years ago, and they all work great and completely silent still.
