Why does it seem that appliances are less reliable and just.... bad... compared to stuff we grew up with? In this video, I break down the reasons as to why "...
We have similar ‘smart’ Samsung washer and dryers that we purchased last year after our old Kenmore units bit the dust after many many years.
I am quick to warn anyone that I come across DO NOT buy Samsung machines under any circumstance.
Our wash times (and dry but especially wash) went up from astronomically. Even though the load size was supposed to be one of the largest we could find it no where near compares to what we had.
Plus, a month or so after we had ours we received a notification from Samsung that they needed to log into our washer and do a ‘firmware’ update because several of those models were causing fires.
Imagine your washing machine causing a fucking fire and burning your house down.
And the fix is a firmware update not a total recall? So its either buggy overcomplicated software or the update tweaked things to reduce the power draw so you got less machine power than what you were advertised.
Which honestly for a washer machine is pretty cool they can fix that sort of issue without the hassle of replacing the big machine, but if only these kinds of major safety issues could be figured out in pre-production.
