You’re right about LG. Five years into using my refrigerator, the compressor went. So much for the 10 year compressor. It was like pulling teeth to have the #Warranty pay for the full amount. In terms of Samsung, my first time using the washer, the baffle broke because some clothing got caught on it, which should’ve been a safety issue to begin with. Thankfully, I was able to return it to the store
You for sharing, I wish that more people would hear this before they get stuck with a bad product
Thank you for the genuine opinion!
Love the KitchenAid dishwasher. Much more superior than the LG one that I already had to replace in less than five years.
We almost bought it-- but after using one in a cabin where we couldn't find a place except the 3rd rack we could wash a tupperware lid (the structure under the tines on the middle rack are spaced much, much farther out than they used to be) we went with Bosch. Leftovers are a huge part of keeping our family moving through the week, we have many lids that need washing.
As a person who works doing deliveries for Costco, I can for sure say that Samsung are the most returned appliances. Compressor problems on refrigerators, Problems with the control board in washing machines, safety hazard with the knobs position or control board problems in the electric stoves, etc.
Same story with LG Refrigerators, compressor failure after 1 year,
There is a class action lawsuit against LG for that problem.
Which brand is going to last? Would rather have it last a little longer than save a little. Having an appliance fail, then having the manufacturer dilly dally on the warranty, then having to swap the whole thing out again is a pain in the whazoo!
Out of those, the GE will likely last the longest.
you can't buy a SpeedQueen in the big box stores, but I bet a commercial/industrial supplier could get you one.
I bought a house in 2020 that had 3 year old Samsung kitchen appliances, stove, french door fridge and dishwasher. They definately wouldnt be my first, second or third choice but they were here and working. The only repair I've had to do so far is a gear broke in the ice maker so i replaced it myself with a new unit that cost me about $87. Aside from that I've pulled the fridge out from the wall and cleaned the coils as they were getting clogged with pet hair. The stove has worked perfectly. The dishwasher works but doesn't do the best job of cleaning tall glasses. There can be dried milk still in the bottom of them after a 3 hour wash cycle! I also found out that my dishwasher isn't built by Samsung. It's made for them in China by Midea which is hardly a top quality manufacturer.
LG makes the best fridges. Their ice maker is built into the door so it does not have the freeze problem, ice maker works great. Their mini door and knock glass works well.
Also my LG dishwasher works like any other, but is extremely quiet. You cant tell it is on and I have it in an island.
Also for washer/dryers just get a speed queen which is like $1,400 ea.
Are you serious? LGs have had well known problems with their compressors for a long time now.
LG's LC refrigerators are notoriously bad. Ice makers in a fridge door will always break faster than those placed in a freezer. The house I moved into has LG appliances, the range is okay, the fridge is awful, and the dishwasher has already needed to be repaired under warranty. I would never buy Samsung or LG appliances.
Wait three years, then come back and let us know how it went
I have 2 LG fridges and the first one is going on 10 years without a single problem. The 2nd one is 2 years old. We just got a bigger model and put the old one in the garage.
lg fridges are rubbish
LG built a huge factory in Tennessee building washers.
I guess all my Samsung stuff didn't get the memo it should be broken.... I'm gonna make sure I don't play this loud enough for them to hear and get any ideas
Same. Moved to our new home more than 7 years ago. Bought brand new Samsung fridge, front load washer and dryer. Nothing super fancy. All working w/o any repairs. We always leave our washer door open after use, it doesn't smell. I just need to check and clean the tiny drain near the front of the washer once in a while.
We have 13 Airbnb's and got mostly Samsung appliances for them. We've had a couple stoves that needed new ignitors and maybe 3-4 dishwasher issues that all were pretty easy fixes that I did myself. For about 70 appliances that are 5-7 years old I'm shocked how reliable they have been. Everything we got was kind of their mid range stuff, nice, but not the absolute latest or fanciest and I think that's the key.
My whole house has been full of Samsung appliances for 7 years. Only issue I had was with the ice machine in my old fridge. We moved and had to buy a new fridge and since they moved the ice machine to the freezer I’ve had no issues. Washer dryer have been great since day 1.
It’s anecdotal, but my In Laws have lots of Samsung Appliances. Everything but their fridge. Their washer broke after about 6 years and needed to be replaced. Their microwave is about 4 years old and a plastic piece that is the door clasp broke off and needed to be replaced, because it wouldn’t turn on without that piece locked in. Lastly their two part over broke one of its heating elements like 3 years after they got it and the repairman said it happens to almost all of their ovens. It has been fine for the 4 years since.
I need a ventless stackable washer dryer, any reccos?
I really appreciate your reviews, as we are building and looking for Washer and Dryer set.
We have a Samsung washer.Got it as a hand me down about 10 years ago & I don’t know how long they had it.Anyway besides the drum being out of balance it’s still going.Its a front loader.
What would you recommend for a large family? We currently have an LG top loader but it does not clean well. Wife hates it especially for shoes, they just float at the top. We previously had a LG front loader for many years but it died. We’ve looked at speed queens with agitator but they look too small. Wife want to do fewer loads.
You have to look at the fill water quantity to compare between washers. Many companies advertise larger tubs, but they cant wash with the tub full as the water does not go that high.
You need to compare the full water gallons.
LG front loader makes the most sense. Washes the most clothes, does it the best, more efficient, more cost effective than commercial washers
Top load washers with an agitator are the only ones that wash well. Top loads without agitators just suck
I’ve had LG washer and dryer for the past eight years. I only have one issue when I first bought the washer LG the water was leaking they came and repaired it and after that it’s been good to me but I think if when they break I am not going to repair them. I’m just going to buy thespeed queen TR 700 or whatever it’s called but for now I have the LG and they work perfectly no issues but like I said, once they deteriorate and break on me, I’m just gonna buy the speed queen
Wait wait, why is the Cafe stainless a "better long term stainless" than the fingerprint resistant? Are they using a cheaper metal under the fingerprint resistant coating or something? You didnt explain that part. 🧐
Here in the Philippines samsungs are also the worst appliances. The chinese appliances like TCL washers even last longer and does a better job than samsungs
i have a top loader washing machine ( no agigator maytag) what i do to get a good wash is 1st i soak the clothes ( i add little more detergent than usuall) and 2nd , i wash the clothes regualty. and third i do 1-2 rinse cycles...they come out nice and clean ...so far the washing machine is 6 years and running strong
What do you think of Frigidaire fridges?
That Samsung is 628$ at Lowe’s ….dang Costco sure does cost ya 3:01
$628
Factor delivery costs, haul away, and parts for installation into Lowes where their price is not inclusive of those, and Costcos price which includes all of that plus an extended warranty out of the gate.
ive had the opposite experience. I bought a GE unitized unit and seemed every couple of months there was something. It would stop turning on .. other times the lid wouldnt recognize its locked ... other times you hit the button to start the water starts and 2 mins later it just stops no warning or anything. They replaced the guts of it atleast 3 or 4 times even today its still loud as heck and they would not replace or give me credit for the thing. I only use it now to basically wash a towel or two if im desperate as i cant afford a new laundry machine set and its out of warranty. I have to go to the local laundry mat now. Cant remember if it was GE or whirlpool microwave the magneton blew in it after about 2 years. Replaced it with a overhead samsung and no issues whatsoever and its been about 5 or 6 years. The samsung dishwasher is over 10 years old and works beautifully once i cleaned it out well from the prior owner and the samsung fridge and stove never an issue other than the ice sometimes clumping but two whacks with ice pick and its good to go.
Had an expensive Samsung fridge, worst refrigerator ever. It was constantly breaking and finally the front of the freezer door came off and it was exorbitantly expensive to fix, so it went to a landfill. My friend had a Samsung in his summer home. He got sick of having to throw out food after it malfunctioned and got rid of his 3 years in. Horrible quality.
That screen in the fridge door was hot when I touched it at the store once (behind it on the door).
If you wanted a front loader washer and dryer , what do you recommend?
Speed Queen, LG, GE in that order
If you buy an LG front loader washer make sure you buy a couple spare water pumps and spare control board because you will be replacing them. The water pumps are especially bad.
You sound like Kevin Costner. Also good video.
Getting a Samsung fridge has been a nightmare for me. Absolute piece of junk it started falling apart at the five year mark like it was on a timer.
Everything this guy said is true! LG fridges are like throw away lighters. They aren’t built to last. I only loved my baby cubes of ice.
I bought my GE cafe series dishwasher, electric double oven and my fridge with no ice on the door. Scratch and dent store with hardly anything wrong for pennies on the dollar. The guy told me rich ladies would come in but complain of the baby scratch you’d have to honestly look for in order to see. They sat and sat. Of course they were more expensive than the norm but because they sat he gave me more off. They are white with the bronze handles and they are not only spectacular to the eye but the ovens are amazing! It lets you choose convection/air fry or bake.
I was upset because I didn’t get the electric stove top like I thought. It’s the induction range and they don’t tell you but you have to have special pans that will work on those and then you have the magnetic conspiracy theories and why it’s bad for our health.
After lots of crap appliances over the years…. bad landlords with terrible appliances/family/friends experiences…. Cafe Series from GE truly won me over. The scratch and dent price helped. If I had to do it over without scratch and dent, I’d have saved for them.
In fact, I was so mad the five year old LG died that I bought a dorm fridge and a 5 ft cubic freezer from Lowe’s I knew I could carry in my house by myself until I decided and put in the research on who is ahead on what and what junk. Nobody wants to replace a fridge every five years LG…….Seriously. That’s ludicrous. The compressor went out.
I randomly went to the scratch and sent store. He used to be my plumber at my business and I asked him with zero customers in the store what I should buy and what was crap because he knows I have money. He said they get the least amount of calls on GE appliances. He told me he favored the LG washers and dryers. A guy like that would know. He stopped plumbing because the scratch and dent business was booming a little better ….plumbing was hard in his body.
Also, my Kitchen Aid mixers are absolute 5hit. I’m not far from the plant that makes them. I have five different ones at my business and I call it the mixer graveyard. I rarely use them for small batches and I only use them for less than 30 seconds a pop. Gears are plastic now is what I was told. I have three artisan series and two of the “professional” series with arms. I even called Whirlpool, they come buy from me for their corporate events …. But refuse to replace them because I’m a commercial kitchen when I told them I hardly ever use them. They don’t even get what I’d call normal at home kitchen use. Junk. Another “they don’t make them like they used to” product.
I use American Baking Systems for my big batches and they have 20 quart bowls. In ten years they’ve came to my store for a repair ONE time. His young son did the repair. Small business. You should take a tour of their warehouse and do videos on those. …..and tell him what I said. He will know who I am.
Great channel!
I’d also like to add that I’ve had GE ovens in my business for ten years. They get used every single day. I’ve only had to change a few control panels out. They let me use non commercial because they know I’m crazy. Health department lady everyone hates told me she would eat out of my mop sink. I’ll take the compliment!
I lived in a duplex for 17 years….. when I moved out, I told the landlord if the oven ever died, please believe the tenant. I did my business out of my house for years. Morning noon and night minus the 8 hours I worked during the day and little sleep I ran on. That oven still lived another five years! That’s GE for you. They had a GE washer and dryer when I moved in that was put in when the duplex was built in the 70’s. It died in 2015. Another GE. When they say they don’t make them like they used to…. It’s true. Consume, consume, consume.
So all the cool features in GE are great and the others are a gimmick?
Dont buy front load washers and dont get the fanciest looking ones i got Amana look just like those speed queens. Havent had any issues. The dryer was 560$ and got the washer used. MADE IN AMERICA!
LG has compressor problems, Samsung, I'm always working on them because they always break down!
That’s bs stats. Every brand have shitty models. You work on them all the time bc they are the most abundant.
@@TheBestAsianGamerThank you! It’s insane how many biased comments are floating around!
I have heard horror stories with Cafe and no issues with Kicthen Aids - some do better in some climates
4:27 - somebody saved on a couple of screws?
I had a Samsung washer and dryer brand new front load from Lowe’s, fast forward three years guess what it was recalled . Samsung did not notify us nor did Lowe’s. Have not bought any more washers or dryers from them. They even went so far as to lock me out my Samsung account then when I finally was a Lego get back into the account, guess what, they removed the washer and dryer from my account. Nope, not ever again.
What about Miele and other brands???
Not available
I have a 20 year old refrigerator that runs great. Cost? Zero. Zero.
I Have/sell the 5 door. -It is more reliable. 20+ yrs in appliances.
Kitchenaid is Top, Cafe is Cool
You da' man!
I wish they sold Speed Queen …
Then no one would buy the others….this is why coke and Pepsi products never co exist in any same restaurants
@@danielc.1169Completely untrue! No one except for a select few stores sell Speed Queen because so few people actually want them! Speed Queen has a cult like following from the older generation that doesn’t care if they are getting a washing machine that was last designed and updated in the 1980’s. But, the majority of consumers wouldn’t even look at or consider a Speed Queen because #1 they have no idea what that brand is and #2 they look so incredibly old and outdated no one wants one. That’s why they aren’t featured in every single store; because they would not sell. Not to mention their pricing is insanely high for the average consumer to consider them versus the completion that looks way more modern, has tons of features, and costs less.
The whole range wouldn’t look out of place in a European home
Samsung, great TVs very shitty appliances. At least last ones. Had an old washing machine lasted years then got a new one and a new fridge and didn't last 5 years.
Speed Queen is #1 for decades. This is all bull crap machines
Samsung refrigerators are literal dog water. I have to defrost mine every 6 months to a year because of their terrible engineering.
samsung customer service is horrible. it hard get service through their warranty.
Your review has a whole lot of “I believes” and is devoid of any “facts”.
Exactly. I used to work for Costco- nearly 10 years. When he said "I believe ...the markup..." haha. I legit almost spit out my coffee. No clue what he speaks about.
Costco sells appliances?
Costco had their Grand Opening yesterday, yes they sell appliances in-store or online.
@@bobbymoss6160didn't know, never been in one heck i don't even think i seen one in the flesh
If it’s not made in the USA, fu.. it.
Manufacturerers and wholesalers pay for placement
Avoid Costco Altogether!
Costco is amazing wdym
I'm guessing he posted that comment because he was mad - he stopped going to Costco years ago and got tired of paying for a membership he wasn't using anymore, and then when he tried to call them to cancel it, they spun him in circles and made him press a bunch of buttons!
Because their food doesn't taste as good as other places like Walmart - and yes that includes Costco's built-in bistro!
It was strange how the GE café fridge above the icemaker was wavy was that just a defect?
…bc they got rid of the “good” berry smoothie?
This is another one of those typical “old school mindset” type videos when it comes to appliances. He makes a complete blanket statement about Samsung without explaining anything about the brand or why he has such a negative opinion about them. Which BTW that negative opinion is based on a few refrigerator issues that appliance “insiders” like to use to say everything Samsung makes is terrible. Every appliance manufacturer has had refrigerator issues; no refrigerator is bulletproof reliable. That Samsung refrigerator he said to avoid is part of their “Bespoke” line (Their more premium offering). It has had zero issues since it was released just about 5 years ago. For a little backstory all of Samsungs bad attention came from a really bad ice maker design they had that they no longer use (They built the ice maker into the refrigerator section and there was defrost and refreezing issues. Other brands such as LG also had this issue; Samsung just got the most attention about it). Moral of the story: just do your own research and make informed decisions based off of many different opinions. This guys blanket statement about Samsung alone disqualifies his knowledge in my opinion.
I agree that the blanket dismissal of Samsung appliances is based on old information and there are some excellent offerings in Samsung's appliance portfolio these days. But, the ice maker situation was far from Samsung's only problem. Sagging hinges on their early year French door refrigerators being rhe most notable case.
@@paulinbrooklynI definitely agree that Samsung has had a few issues in the past with mostly their refrigerators. The ice maker issue in the older models was the most prominent. The hinge issue was also a concern. But, every manufacturer out there has specific issues that you can point out; it doesn’t mean that you can make a blanket statement that the entire brand is horrible (Like what was done in this video). Notably LG has had some bad compressor issues in their refrigerators but "insiders" rarely bring that up. Whirlpool has had some issues with their washing machines in the past as well. All of these examples are just me basically saying…. Every manufacturer has their own specific issues but I personally don’t believe any brand is just overall horrible. So to make a blanket statement like in this video is just careless and misleading.
I’ve had a Samsung refrigerator, 2 washing machines and 1 dryer. Dryer is ok but their other appliances suck. A lot.
