Why Watchlist
Decent first-year service numbers that get misread as durability, but Yale dropped Samsung from its rankings over a near-absent parts-and-service network, and the 2016 recall of ~2.8M top-load washers (tops detaching) is a major black mark. A machine you can't get fixed isn't reliable. Watchlist with heavy negative flags.
