My vote is for Samsung, at least on the home appliances side.

Good call. Our fridge has an ice maker defect that is a leaky, freezy, cloggy PITA, among other smaller nuisances. Our glass top stove had the labels for heat levels wear off, and the circles on the surface are 50% gone, and it’s only 6 years old. The dishwasher did such a poor job, ended up getting a whirlpool in less than 5 years.

Fun extra fact for the stove, the knobs stick out from the front, and have zero protection against turning by accident. A simple brush by them can turn on a burner. So dangerous.

Red Wing work boots. They used to last years, now the stitching rips out after a few months. Made in China, pure junk.
