OTOH, the uncle's Samsung clothes washer sprung a main seal or filler valve leak after two years.
I didn't have time to get into it, but was disappointed the front access panel wrapped around, and was not easy to service.
(overloading or overtourqed installation might have been involved. idk.)

The Korean auto drive-trains are not known to be dependable but they did offer a 100k warranty.
Many Americans toss their new cars after a few years anyways.
Still more dependable than a Chevy.

Ah, OK, Samsung (at least their TVs) is my one exception. Samsung TVs have long been known to be excellent TVs. I don't know if they still are, but they were for a long time. I'm thinking LG, Kia, Hyundai, etc...

Yes, I've got a Samsung TV from 2007/2008. It's still ticking along just fine.
