Yep, this is exactly it. When 3g was going away and 4g was starting up, T-Mobile pulled the same thing trying to brand their UMTS stuff as 4g when it’s clearly a 3g protocol. You can always rely on the marketers to lie until the end of time.

All the parts they used internally are made to be as cheap as possible. The rollers that support the drum, and the belt tensioner, use low quality bushings that wear out prematurely. The extra fiction the parts caused would cause the belt to fail too. I’d have to tear the entire thing apart every two years or so and replace these parts to keep it running, far more often than I’d have to repair any other dryer brand. The sensor dry cycle on it never properly dried the clothes, and the steam function on it didn’t work very well either.
A friend of mine has a Samsung dryer, washer, fridge, dishwasher, and microwave. He hates all of them with a passion for similar reasons.
I don’t hate everything Samsung as I’m quite happy with their tablets and watches, but I’d never purchase another one of their appliances.
Any appliance made by Samsung is pure garbage. I just got rid of one of their dryers and I’m very glad to have it gone.
I read that too. I think the 2500 model had the highest rate.
Pass on the fridge. I have the same one and it will freeze the ones in the back if you don’t leave a space between the back of the fridge and your drinks. I can only fill it about 2/3 of the way or it doesn’t work very well. I’ve considered adding a fan inside, and I’ve even powered a USB fan off a battery pack and it made a big difference.
