    Their washing machines and dryers aren’t great compared to LG, so I would be suspicious of their ACs.

      Samsung and LG are both garbage when it comes to washers, dryers and the worst for refrigerators.

          Consumer Reports isn’t a valid source. They have paid reports.

          Speed Queen is the top brand in washers and dryers.

          LG dryers do not last past their warranty for very long. Anyone who’s owned an LG can tell you that as with appliance repair companies.

          LG and Samsung are very poor.

            Do you have a source for that? That would be a pretty big deal considering they’re a non-profit that claims to accept no samples and no advertising.

              PeTA claims is doesn’t fund terrorism. Yet they do. They were blacklisted from Walmart donations when I worked there for that sole reason.

                Do you have a source for Consumer Reports having sponsored reports or not?

                Are you referring to the $375,000 grant from the Climate Imperative Foundation to sponsor a report (with disclosure) on the impact of gas stoves on indoor air quality? That’s the only instance I’ve been able to find in my searches on the subject.

                If that’s what you’re referring to, are you suggesting that because CR once took a single payment to sponsor an article on gas stoves, that their reviews of washing machines are biased by sponsorship, even though they disclosed the former and haven’t disclosed the latter?
