First their phones, now this? Does LG only want to be known as the company that makes great TVs and shit appliances?

Their washing machines are pretty decent.

We have an LG tumble dryer. By far the best dryer we’ve owned.

Yup, we've had an LG washer dryer pair for ~10 years, and the dryer has needed no maintenance at all, whereas the washer has only needed fixes to the relay board. So one repair on the washer and none on the dryer for ~10 years, that's pretty decent!

We'll be replacing it soon because the relay board is acting up again and it's not worth the $150 or so and an hour of time to fix it again since something else is likely to break soonish (probably the pump motor of I had to guess).

I've heard horror stories about Samsung and some other brands, so I think we did well.

Depends on the appliance. For example, LG dishwashers have good track records.

Different manufacturers excel at making different things. Don’t shop by brand, that’s how you get stuck with a lemon. Read the product reviews and expect different brands to be better at different things.

They make screens on contract for many electronic devices.

They do way more than that, that's just the consumer facing stuff.

Lol go to Korea and see all the other consumer facing stuff. LG shampoo if you want.

No way someone can make an appliance worse then samsung

Have one of their smaller model washers for the past ten years. Zero complaints.

Literally what they've been since the 1940s... Shitty black and white Goldstar TVs from your local pharmacy.
