WTF???

I mean, what is going on.
First, if they damaged the washers on purpose (we can't know what happend for sure) I would already bang my head on the wall. Where are we going with this?
Second, I don't know a lot about law, but Samsung can't do anything about it. The washers were property of the stores which displayed them. If somebody has to care about that damage, it's the store. And if they try to sue somebody, they would have to sue them here in Germany and if so, not LG as a company, but the individual persons who caused that damage. And even if Samsung could sue these individual persons (they can't) they would have to prove that this damage was caused on purpose.
I just think the world of the Electronic Business is going mad at this point.

For some reason I can't get this scene out of my head:

Four LG execs are standing at a Samsung washer display at a trade show, one of them says, "Look at what suckers are paying $3500 for..." and then rips the plastic doors off the washers with his bare hands. Weak hinges indeed lol

Would be a fine lot to point out the shortcomings of a samsung washer.

That's actually an often used selling strategy in Germany. It really works well with a high end Bosch and a mid-line Miele. I tried it and sold a Miele that way back in my week at MediaMarkt. I still remember that week like it was yesterday. I did this (funny enough) with a LG washer dryer as well.
In the same week I was there, a LG person was there as well and to be honest: He was more friendly than the Miele sales women...

It's crazy because the washer itself is expensive. Add to that the damage it does in the laundry room. Her hot water heater was dented, the dryer and wall, etc. UGH!

Sounds like they should pay more attention to the basics, LOL.

Interesting--LG guys damage Samsung washer-then linked videos show both Samsung and LG washers "vandalizing" themselves and the rooms they are in.Think it would be best NOT to buy either one!!!Spin-splode Fun!!!To bad none of these were filmed when the spin-splode happened-and was it a fault of the owners-wrong cycle?-improper items being washed?machine not loaded properly?or not installed properly by Best Buy delivorymen?So many questions-and questions on the LG guys damaging the Samsung machine.
