Samsung appliances. Fridges. Washing machines.

Got them as part of the rental unit. They're very new looking. But every month is some new mess up.

God I would replace them if I owned this place.

I used to be a big fan of Samsung, but over the past couple years it has become a do not buy brand for me. They keep doing anticompetitive stuff with their phones so my next phone won't be one.

Start of 2024 my Samsung TV that wasn't that old up and died. And my less than a year old Samsung monitor is flickering.

My watch 6 classic is my favorite smart watch I've ever had, but in order to get it working well on a non Samsung phone you need to go through a bunch of bullshit hassle.

I used to be a Samsung galaxy note diehard, but I stopped at the 10+. The quality just gets worse every time.

Got a Xiaomi Redmi Note and it's basically everything I used to love about Samsung phones.

The adds and lack of support is worse though

I've only had ads in the themes app, which samsung also has.

The friggin ice maker on the fridge. Plus the drawers are falling apart and it's only been 7 years.

I don't understand fridges with ice makers. You can just make ice in the freezer without any further complex machinery.

Yeah it being broken is definitely a first world problem, hence why it has stayed broken for 5 years.
