Tangential but have been buying appliances for the first time and have been deep in research of what to do with a small-moderate budget.
I had indeed heard the same about Samsung, and more generally designed service lives < 7 years across brands with better reputations.
I elected to buy all used but (good condition) late-model Miele appliances. They’re rated at 20+ years, they focus on reliability and repairability, and if you’re patient you can get them for less than even the cheapest Samsung etc models, especially when taxes are taken into account.
Not to mention they’re the best quality appliances money can buy. I definitely don’t need a paella mode on my dishwasher, but it makes me smile every time (and remember I paid $200 for it)
It reminds me of the very popular Reddit thread from about a decade ago where a vacuum cleaner repair guy said that Miele's were his preferred vacuum and recommended them above most others: https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1pe2bd/iama_vacuum_re...
