Do not even consider a Samsung.
Even if somebody gives you a Samsung for free, get something else. They are really that bad and fail too often.

Refrigerators... Ice makers that leak ice and water. Internal temperatures vary from 39 to 50 when set to 35 (this could be dangerous). Loud. Runs nearly constantly.
Dishwashers... Must always run heavy duty cycle. Racks don't fit normal dishes and bowls. Loud. Trim pieces that flop around. Touch controls that don't respond to being touched.
Microwaves... Just die. Often.
Stove... Poor design. Oven temperature inconsistent.
Washer... Fails to spin without going out of balance. Owner's manual describes functions incorrectly. Unable to clean internal filters without complete disassembly. Plenty of controls that cannot be used to change settings, such as water temperature, on almost all cycles due to computer override.
Dryer... Clothing drys ok only if half empty. Bedding clumps up and requires many cycles of manual rearranging and manual timed cycles because it shuts off with wet clothing. Lint trap lets lint blow by. No way to access internal vent path for cleaning lint without complete disassembly. (yes, vents have been cleaned of lint)

Samsung makes great computer parts, Nice TVs... but run away from their appliances. It's just not worth the headaches, no matter how good of a deal it might appear up front.

Yes, I have had service look at these problems... "Working as designed" or "That's not covered by warranty" or "They don't make parts for that now"
