It's probably best to expand that to any kitchen appliance that connects to the internet and has a screen.

Samsung appliances are notoriously not worth buying.

I'm in the process of selling the 3 Samsung devices we have at home. It seemed like a no-brainer to buy affordable quality from a reputable brand.

Then the TV got annoying, slow, pestered with ads and new Privacy updates every month; our oven has some bugs that need a software update and the clock resets without Wi-Fi; and god knows when the washing machine will do something similar.

Samsung is a massive company, it really doesn't need to be doing this. Extremely rich is rich enough, shareholders!

Ok, I know we always say this kind of stuff on HN and then the product is hugely successful anyway... But seriously, why am I even interested in buying a fridge with a display? That seems annoying even without the ads, and the ads are a product-killer.

I own the bare-bones, bottom tiered Samsung dishwasher and fridge. They're both pretty good.

Just refuse to pay for fancy crappola.
