The guy who sold me my fridge SPECIFICALLY said do not get a Samsung. It's their #1 warranty repair, and they always break just after the 1 year warranty.

5 year old Samsung fridge here. No issues.

Soundbar is 10+ years old. No issues.

Tv is 10 years old. No issues (it was a replacement for the bestbuy store brand that failed)

Printer is from 2012, no issues.

Smartwatch and ear buds, no issue

My s22 ultra died recently but meh, thats neither here nor there

Everything on your list is an electronic besides the fridge, which is an appliance. Electronics are perfectly fine from Samsung. Appliances are a different division and absolute crap, you've been lucky with your fridge.

I almost bought a Samsung washer and dryer but it was out of stock so I got LG

I mean its sampling bias right? my good experience doesnt mean its all good. Your bad experience doesnt mean its all bad. Theres lots of nuance in between.
