I don't know. If Apple made a refrigerator, a lot of people would probably consider buying it.

That being said, Samsung, as a Chaebol/conglomerate, can suck and some things and be great at others, simply because its various divisions are very loosely related to each other. In this case, I've heard bad things about Samsung appliances and better things about their display and DRAM production.

Samsung was an appliance company long before it was a phone company.

But you should probably buy a refrigerator from a company that makes air conditioning systems?

Wait until you find Samsung and Bosch components in your car.

Not sure if you are joking, but almost every modern car has Bosch (sensors, battery, ABS, wipers etc) and/or Samsung (displays, DRAM etc) components.

Precisely the sarcasm I was suggesting.

Bosch and Samsung are conglomerates and make much more than even the list you've generated. Especially hvac and mechanical. Including non electronic.
