I just pulled the trigger on a new set of kitchen appliances! Ordered from Costco, delivery next week. New refrigerator by Samsung (NOT Family Hub, just the 4-door flex with beverage center), a matching dishwasher, and a new convection double wall oven. I’m so excited!

    I think getting excited about appliances is very characteristic of being dull. It’s a club for dull men, not a dull club for men.

    Woof. Have fun with two out of three of those refusing to work for more than ten consecutive minutes. At least the GE wall oven ought to be functional.

    The online hate for Samsung major appliances is very well deserved, I can tell you.

    We shall see. My current Whirlpools are 15 years old and have their fair share of issues.

    Refrigerator: randomly thinks the doors are open because the compressor is having to work too hard to maintain temperature which causes a beeping alarm that won’t stop, freezer drawer gets stuck sometimes, freezer light hasn’t worked in years, ice maker hasn’t worked in years, the “stainless steel” doors have a big section below the in-door water and ice dispenser that is rusted and flaking away (when the ice maker worked, it would often spit out a cube or two after the person walked away, which would sit in the little tray and melt, next person would open the door not noticing the water in the tray, causing the water to slosh onto the front, promoting rust).

    Dishwasher: black kickplate has totally rusted away, rinse agent dispenser broke a long time ago and can’t be fixed, replaced control panel board once already and it needs it again (the lights to indicate which cycle it’s in or when it’s done don’t work).

    Oven: 25 years old, exposed heating elements that burn drips, just basic (original with the house) and old.

    I've heard this as well but never owned one partly for this reason.

    I know it's just an opinion/matter of taste, but I love the style of some of the Samsung appliances... especially their fridges. I wish other companies would make something different aesthetically as opposed to the same old boring fridge style. I want something different like the Samsung aesthetic but that won't break on me.

    My current dishwasher seems to be dying so I'm kind of wanting to get a new one soon. At least a dishwasher looks fine as a plain box. But man I wish I could have a more stylish fridge.

    Oh and I've seen appliances with a really cool retro vibe but they unfortunately all seem to cost like ten billion dollars lol.

    Are you ever going to upgrade to an induction stove top or do you have one already?

    I had a similar fridge and loved it. It’s hard to see all the Samsung appliance hate online and not worry it’s going to need constant repairs, but I never had an issue.

    What I really wanted was a totally dumb and simple top-freezer model without an icemaker, counter-depth, but it just doesn’t seem to exist. Top-freezer models are inherently more energy-efficient. Everyone else in the house likes ice, filtered water, etc, so that’s what I went with.

    Did you go with the ice maker in the bottom of the freezer? The door only model struggles to keep up

    I’m absolutely in love with the Beverage Center. I use the heck out of the pitcher.

    We got a French door version with the drawer freezer. I’m a bit skeptical of the 4 door. Seems like the freezer would be awkward to access and organize but I’d be interested to hear how it goes in practice.
