...and then buy something else!

The Samsung gas stove (1 year warranty) needed an igniter at the 8th 
month.  It took 3 service trips.  Our big-screen Samsung TV failed at 14 
months. The idea of an expensive device having only a 1-year warranty is 
disturbing and I will never again buy anything made by Samsung.
