My parents bought a Samsung VCR in 1984. That thing was a workhorse and I donated when my dad died in 2006. They don't make them like that anymore.

My 2007 Samsung DLP TV has been going pretty well. I had to have the red LED (at around $500 for parts and labor) replaced after 5 years. It now has some pixels that are dead with certain colors.

My 2007 Samsung BluRay player was a different story. It had a 50% chance of playing a new BluRay. A BluRay with a scratch, dust, or a fingerprint would never be playable again on that player. I got rid of it in 2012 and bought a Sony unit. Never looked back.

My 2014 Samsung fridge has an icemaker that I have to thaw once a month with a hair dryer.

A coworker has a 2013 Samsung oven where all of the knobs fell off.

I'll probably replace my TV in the next year or two. The replacement will not be a Samsung.
