South Korea
Samsung
The easiest warranty and parts situation in this list — authorized service is nationwide rather than mail-in. You pay for that in spec-per-dollar terms.
If getting a machine repaired rather than replaced matters to you, this is the safer bet on the list. Owning other Samsung appliances helps too: setup, notifications, and scheduling collapse into the SmartThings app instead of a fourth vendor account.
