    First their phones, now this? Does LG only want to be known as the company that makes great TVs and shit appliances?

          Yup, we’ve had an LG washer dryer pair for ~10 years, and the dryer has needed no maintenance at all, whereas the washer has only needed fixes to the relay board. So one repair on the washer and none on the dryer for ~10 years, that’s pretty decent!

          We’ll be replacing it soon because the relay board is acting up again and it’s not worth the $150 or so and an hour of time to fix it again since something else is likely to break soonish (probably the pump motor of I had to guess).

          I’ve heard horror stories about Samsung and some other brands, so I think we did well.

      Depends on the appliance. For example, LG dishwashers have good track records.

      Different manufacturers excel at making different things. Don’t shop by brand, that’s how you get stuck with a lemon. Read the product reviews and expect different brands to be better at different things.

        Read the product reviews…

        better renew that subscription to Consumer Reports to make sure the reviews aren’t fake.

          If you want to real dirt, search from reviews from appliance repair people.

      Have one of their smaller model washers for the past ten years. Zero complaints.

        You don’t mind the stench? Their washers are notoriously stinky because water gets trapped where it shouldn’t. I had to clean mine every week.

      Literally what they’ve been since the 1940s… Shitty black and white Goldstar TVs from your local pharmacy.
