    I’ve found Samsung to be uniquely terrible across every type of anything I’ve ever owned that they’ve made.

    I bought my current condo thinking the almost new (I think they were 2 years old at the time) Samsung appliances must not be that bad, but every single one of them has a unique design flaw that has caused it to fail or be damaged in small ways or large:

    1. Samsung range - coated with black stainless coating that peels off upon heat stress…cuz you’ll definitely never encounter heat stress when working with a gas range 🙄, the clock’s LED is also intermittently failing.

    2. Samsung refrigerator - has a separate ice maker compartment that was not sealed properly at the factory, and therefore freezes over itself…which makes the ice maker useless

    3. Samsung dishwasher - Had a wet sensor on the bottom of the dishwasher that tripped, and then it just ran forever with a large grinding noise…I had to cut the power to the circuit to get it to stop doing whatever it was doing

    4. Samsung microwave - Large, heavy, stainless steel handle attached to cheap, easy to fracture plastic through a single screw hole at the top. The handle eventually snapped off of the top of the microwave…I’ve also heard (but not experienced because I never use it) that the sensor cook is garbage.

    Add all of the above to what I consider to be samsung’s already piss-poor reputation for products in my experience (I had a samsung flip phone that the screen just completely stopped working after a year of use in the early 2000s, and a Samsung MP3 player with a battery hinge that was so poorly designed it eventually stopped working because the battery kept popping out).

    I fucking hate that company and wouldn’t be surprised in the least if their terrible, flawed products are also privacy nightmares.
