Or their dryers...or their dishwashers...I hear their phones are okay...It sucks when a multinational conglomerate has a sketchy quality issue.

Their phones are yet another example of good hardware crippled by stupid software - not even low quality, but with bad intentional choices.
The phones are terrible too, these days. I bricked a phone and lost access to all data on it by trying to back it up. Every Galaxy generation has gotten worse and worse in terms of preinstalled malware that takes a lot of effort and care to disable (if possible at all).

The only thing I would still buy from Samsung these days is storage devices.

Their laser printers are great in my experience.
They really were. No-nonsense drivers, just worked. About the only Samsung product I could truly recommend.

Unfortunately, HP bought their printer business in 2017. My ML1640 is still truckin' along just fine, however...
