Can't wait until Samsung decides to OTA in the dead of winter and bricks people's heating systems.
Are they going to pipe audio ads into your vents as well?
Don't buy a Samsung anything.

Having everything in one unit is a recipe for a single point of failure disaster. Because it's Samsung, don't expect any of the parts to be interchangeable. One unlucky lightning strike and you're forced to rebuy and reinstall another of their all-in-one units or wait without heat and AC for a week for the parts to maybe arrive undamaged.

It does seem very pleasing from a physics perspective. You could be cooling your house and heating your water with some of the heat you’re pumping out of your living space.
From an engineering perspective sort of problematic having all the critical systems in your home be tied to a single point of failure.
Classic monolith vs microservice tradeoff.

You cannot pay me to use a Samsung product. They’ve irreparably damaged my perception of South Korean technology. I implore anyone here to stay clear.

I have an all in one heat pump right now in my house (in Europe). Not made by Samsung.
Why is this news? Is it because it can heat water to 85 degrees Celsius? Is it because it’s Samsung?
