I have been telling my wife since we got married that we will not be buying Samsung appliances. I'll pay twice as much for anything else.
When we went to buy a new washer and dryer the sales guy really hyped up the wifi connectivity and all the extra features you get with a Samsung washer. The point that I will only ever be near my washer and dryer when I need to use it seemed to fly so far over his head her couldn't see it with the naked eye.
At no point in the last 5 years with these appliances have either I, or my wife, even thought about the washer while we weren't literally standing in front of it. Let alone needed it to have an Internet connection.
Plus, Samsung ain't even cheaper. Samsung is consistently one of the more expensive options for fridges, tvs, microwaves, washing machines, etc. and whenever they have a reasonable price it turns out it's the shittiest product you've ever used.
