Why? I'm glad you asked. ALL our appliances are Samsung bought new 4 years ago. Here's what we've encountered:
Dryer: Steam nozzle broke off. $130+ part to replace a piece of plastic with a plastic tube. I just removed it, and now we don't use steam. Heater element also blew. Both occurred after less than 2 years use.
Washer: So far, still working though very sensitive to mis-weighted loads. Doesn't do an amazing job cleaning, but at least it works.
Dishwasher: Racks started rusting almost immediately. Has never cleaned well, and rotating water-throwy-propeller-thingees clog up with debris. Tray height adjustment lever is zip-tied in place. Soap dispenser opens when it wants to, so now I just throw the pods in the bottom of the machine.
Fridge: Ice maker ices over since new. Was replaced once under warranty (which never actually fixes the issue) now they refuse to touch it. Ice build-up on fan in rear at times, causing temperatures to fluctuate. Well known issues that occurs on virtually ALL units - and absolutely on all french door models - even ones currently being sold.
Stove: So far, so good, though I have heard of others having issues with the digital controls.
OTC Microwave: Keypad never responded well, but is getting worse all the time. Sometimes we need to unplug and plug back in to get it to start working again. Sometimes the lights and fan turn themselves on and off. Occasionally starts "cooking" on it's own. Also known issues for my model and many others. Apparently likely to be a grounding issue. Many models also have issues with moisture ingress into the controls, which is why the fan should always be used. (Though, it doesn't suck up a lot, so who knows how much it helps)
Most of these failed just after the 1 year warranty is up, and despite known issues, they had no interest in helping. There is a Facebook group dedicated to the fridge issues alone, with about 100,000 members. Members there report issues with almost all Samsung appliances and not just the fridge.
DO NOT BUY.
EVER.
