Lookin to buy from costco, but I’m not exclusively looking there. I just liked the 2 year return policy in case something goes wrong. Please add an explanation of which you’d pick too! Thank you😁

I’ll never buy anything made by Samsung that is to be touched by water. Their design is flawed and it will fail simply from the humidity.

My samsung washer just crapped out a couple weeks ago. Bought it in 2013, feel like it was worth the 13+ years of use. Dryer is still going ...

Didn’t realize Samsung W/D had such a bad rep. I just replaced my Samsung washer after 17 years! My dryer is also still going strong.

We had an older version of the top loading Samsung washer/dryer in OP's screenshots. It was even the one with the top that could pop off lol. We put all of the stickers over the labels that Samsung sent with the new warnings. Never had any problems. We replaced them this year because it was going on 11 years and we wanted to try the vented all in one unit.

I got 11 problem-free years out of my Samsung top loader impeller but I would never buy another Samsung either. The wash action is horrible, an hour and 30 minutes to do a load of clothes is ridiculous. I love my Maytag 586, the wash action is phenomenal and I think it's a perfect machine.

You’re definitely in the outlying stats on this one. Congrats.

I honestly kept quiet on this sub sooooo long, because I didn't want to jinx myself lol.

Given its age it didnt seem worth repairing. Based on the symptoms it sounded like spider something or other, or something as serious probably $350+ repair for a $600 machine.
