I bet they could make more money from appliances if they cut out all the IoT shit.
>>109124010to be fair samsung kind of blows in the appliance market and mostly rides on name recognition
How aren't they making money on these turds when they're building them as cheaply as possible and ensuring none of them last more than 5 years?
>>109124121Right now the cost of chips and RAM is killing them.
>>109124010Samsung appliances are shit quality anyway and they focused on features nobody needs like an ai fridge???I'd rather get the Electrolux for half the price that has higher energy efficiency
>>109124198This. Can't tell you how many times a tech is like please never get anything Samsung
>>109124198>>109124421Every appliance is fucking junk now.>Let's add sensitive electronics in a machine that fills with water and jiggle all day>We should add bluetooth and wifi to our fridge because WHY NOT?!My newish washer and dryer just took a shit. Of course the PART is almost as much as new washer or dryer, and lol @ your warranty period. The next washer and dryer I buy will be 50 years old and just wash and fucking dry clothes.
>>109124010I got great news for them the same will happen to their fabs in 10-20 years and for the same reasons too!
>>109124010Oh no, no more IEDs in my house from South Korea. What a sh-->>109124106>to be fair samsung kind of blowsup, yes.>rides on name recognitionAbsolutely. After the Galaxy cellphone bombs.
>>109124487>he doesn't enjoy headset IEDs
>>109124487>le exploding samsungtalked to deathi was talking about their home appliance stuffit looks nice but the internals are always undersized/impossible to service
>>109124610Throw a brick into a washing machine and you got yourself an ISD
>>109124010Lol good. Remember the Samshit ovens spontaneously exploding? Remember no refunds? Remember Samshit technicians coming to your house and slashing up your TVs so they don't have to pay up?
>>109124447At my last apartment I had a Bosch washer and dryer. Loved the washer, that thing blew all of the American/Chink/Korean brands the FUCK out. The dryer was a piece of shit, but only because it was one of those weird ones with some kind of condenser coil contraption.New place has contractor's special GEslop. The washer kinda sucks ass but the dryer FUCKS.If I can afford a house any time this decade I'm getting a Boschslop washer and the cheapest oldest shittiest gas powered dryer I can find.
>>109125812When I was in the UK the rented place had that old school dryer where hot/moist air was just vented outside through a pipe in wall, what a great dryer that was, now back in the EU due to regulations there is only heatpump dryers here which are a complete trash.
>>109125812>gas powered dryerwut
I knew there was something weird with the samsung vacuum I bought, it was the cheapest on stores and on the same price range as chink ones. For $30 is not bad all, weak as fuck but good enough to clean my room and comes in a nice color.
>>109126378Probably means gas is used to heat the tumble chamber. It still needs electricity for the motor that rotates the chamber plus the logic circuits.
>>109125751>Remember Samshit technicians coming to your house and slashing up your TVs so they don't have to pay up?Fuckin hell I remember this. I swear I saw a video ages ago and some guy just sticks a wrench through a panel or something absurd.
>>109124010>the very units that kept it afloat during the earlier chip downturnsurely that will never happen again haha>>109126443bought a samsung bagless vacuum in 2015 and it still works
At least there is LG.
Samsung microwaves and TVs are pretty good. Wouldn't buy anything else from them.>>109126443If you don't mind bags, Miele makes great vacuums.
>>109127912The TVs that they put ads on?
>>109125812People give too much shit to cheap appliances.House came with some cheap GE washer/dryer and they are still going after 24 years with zero repair.Same with fridges, any top freezer fridge or deep freezer just seems to last decades.
>>109126378What >>109126465 said. Natural gas heats it, regular ass 110V plug runs the electronics and the dinky tumble motor.
>>109124010NOOOO NOT MY SMART FRIDGERINOS
>>109124010>>109124060I just brought a “Shtark” fridge for $200 and it just works. Samsung isn’t keeping prices low, nothing about their products are dead simple, they are losing customers.
>>109124158How much RAM does a toaster oven need?
>>109124010>Samsung weighs partial exit from appliance businessPLEASE let this be real. fucking samsung are trash to consumers. The chinese will sell you a TV without adverts you can't disable.
Blame Obama for all the Samsung crap in America because he agreed to the unpopular South Korea free trade deal
>>109126465>>109129737Sounds like a fire hazard with all the fluff coming off the cloths
>>109129796My main worry about this Chinese garbage is that it'll cause a fire because chinks have no real concern with safety. I'd prefer to spend a bit more to be assured that the product is safe and not Chinese.
>>109131016$0.01 has been deposited to your account
>>109124060I like the IoT shit you retarded poor faggot. They need to just make it consumer friendly.
>>109124447>>109124198I bought a GE washer that is the best washer that I've ever owned new in 2023 or something and it has no failed or broke at all. I bought a new LG fridge and the piece of shit is broken it still cools but after this I am buying a bespoke fridge. I wouldnt mind it haveing an AI mode or someshit but if the fucking ice maker quits i am going to go insane.
>>109131027>I like the IoT shitWhy would you ever want a fucking app for an appliance? So you can run your dishwasher in the middle of the night to save 5 cents worth of electricity?
>>109131036I set up automations to remind me of things and when for instance the laundry detergent is out i get a warning among other shit.>o you can run your dishwasher in the middle of the nightI don't want to hear it. I can have it run with vacuum. Its just brainlets can't find uses because they are worthless slaves.
>>109131051>for instance the laundry detergent is out i get a warning among other shit.You can't just... notice when the box is getting low?
>>109131117>boxSee you are poor. Liquid and its measured accurately. I load it into the machine it squirts out the right amount every single time.
>>109131129Wow, how amazing. You already have to go to the washing machine to load it up, saving that half a second scooping a cup into it must be well worth it. I bet the detergent costs a fucking bomb too.
>>109131152>scooping a cupinaccurate wasteful. time consuming. i value my time. thats why i spend all of it on 4chan. kys
>>109131129>>109131161>t. least raped IoT kikeslave
>>109131161It's a second, dude. The cup lives in the box, you pull it out, pour some off if its a smaller load, see the level, pour it in the machine. You need "special" detergent that costs 5x what I pay, does a shittier job because weight alone won't tell the machine how dirty your shit is, and requires you to refill some stupid internal reservoir that's probably harder to get to.
>>109131184I don't use fucking powder you retard. I use liquid in first world countries we use liquid detergent and i am not wasting my fucking time with measuring it out. Its fast easy simple accurate. I throw in close i push button. I win. you lose shut the fuck up.
>>109131184>>109131190Also I don't need "special" detergent you fuckin moron.
>>109131190You use liquid because you're a retarded slave who doesn't understand the powder is the same shit but less messy. The machine has water, retard! The powder dissolves! I throw in my clothes, put the powder in the drawer, and press start! Such a massive waste of my time, I don't know how I can survive knowing I spend a full second adding detergent to every wash instead of doing it every 30 washes like you.>>109131192>I don't need "special" detergentYou need liquid garbage instead of powder which is what anyone with a brain uses. Hey, at least you're not using gel pods, I guess.
>>109131190why would you pay extra for detergent+water and transport costs instead of just detergent and get water form the tap. sheets or powder are the only sensible options.
>>109131211>>109131202Coping poor retards.
>>109131190I like this anon audacity
>>109131216>y-you're poor!Can you explain what makes liquid detergent better than powder? Just, you know, anything would do. If you were rich you'd use pods, because they cost the most and have zero risk of touching any detergent or spilling anything.
>>109131231I'm actually rich and I just drop my clothes in a box and my house cleaner just takes care of it lmao. bunch of poorfags arguing about washing machines, pathetic
>>109131231pods are for retards. powder is for poor third worlders.
>>109131250I don't want other people in my house. I'd rather do it myself.
Damn, inflation must have hit Americans really hard for them to be flexing with their washing machines
>>109131027good the botnet needs more nodes
>>109131016Interesting, now tell me how other groups of people are stupid for not understanding per capita, and how you totally do
>>109131016This is why we have NRTLs in the USI'd be surprised even if cheapo Amazon fridges were not certified nowadays. I guess they could be ETL instead of UL but much better than CE
>>109129825At least 8GB to run the Electron webjeet software they bloated it with.
>>109129448Never had an issue with that myself. Probably a US only thing since you cattle are the only ones putting up with that shit.You can always just not connect it to the internet
>>109134187i block it on my IoT vlan fuckhead!
