    As someone who’s worked on industrial machinery for food production all my life, I’m consistently amazed at what a simple dishwasher can do, and how it can do so for YEARS with essentially zero maintenance. Cleaning food residue is HARD.
    I just bought a new one recently (the old one wasn’t actually broken, despite being very old, so I gave it away), and I can’t help but open it up every once in a while to admire it. How much time these devices save us!

      Depends on your luck. I’ve had to repair my Samsung dishwasher 3 times in 5 years and yet my parents bought the cheapest possible model 15 years ago and it operates lawlessly and does a better job at cleaning.

        Yeah quality of the brand really matters. Samsung makes some of the worst appliances. And older appliances really were just built better in many cases.

        operates lawlessly

        as long as it doesn’t get caught!

        Jokes aside, I’ve only ever owned European-made appliances. My old dishwasher was a Bosch that came with the apartment when we bought it, I don’t know how old it was, but I guess around 20 years, and again, I replaced but it was still working.
        I don’t buy appliances at big box stores though, I always go to a dedicated shop where they kinda select their offerings, as they also have to deal with support calls. There’s one in my city that, despite being a fraction of a big box store, moves A LOT of merchandise, so they also have a lot of experience, so far I’ve been quite happy.

        Samsung

        Well there’s your problem right there.

        Honestly, I worked as a house cleaner for a bit, and any samsung dishwasher I had to deal with was either broken or new.
