The Galaxy Note7 smartphone is not the only Samsung product consumers need to worry about. On Friday, the Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a voluntary recall of 2.8 million top-loading washing machines because of a risk of "impact injuries." From a report on USA Today: According to CPSC, the top of the washing machine could unexpectedly detach during use. Samsung received 733 reports of "excessive vibration" or the top detaching from the chassis of the machine. Nine injuries have been reported, including a broken jaw. The machines were sold at multiple retailers including Best Buy, The Home Depot, Lowe's and Sears from March 2011 to November 2016.

Want a Well Built - Speed Queen by Kagato · 2016-11-04 04:31 · Score: 3, Interesting

If you want something well built the last player still standing is Speed Queen. You'll pay for that quality and get a factory warranty to that's 3-4 times better than anyone else.
