Their refrigerators are a piece of shyt. Their ice machines always goes bad with ice build up to the point that it stops working altogether.
Every brand these days is not built to last.
Germans make decent home appliances, names such as Miele, Liebherr, sometimes Bosch are decent. But they don't import many of those to North America.
Asian brands? Ehh, used to be better.
Yeah most of those who repair electronics will tell you, if you have a home appliance that's originally made about 7-10 years ago, and if it still works decently for you, there is no point in buying new models. The energy saving class thing is gimmicked up to attract buyers. The more extra options it has, the more likely it's gonna stop working. The touchscreen panel instead of old fashioned mechanical buttons is one of the most requested things to repair in home appliances all over the world. It is ridiculous. It's a lottery on what you buy.It really makes me sad how disposable everything is there days. Everything designed to be thrown out in a few years so you can buy a new one.
My grandparents got a fridge down in the basement that's probably been running for 50-60 years straight. New Korean appliances probably won't even make it half that lifespan and cost 4x.
Buy appliances from brands that primarily make appliances not electronics.
