Household appliance Samsung SmartThings question

Hello,
Has anyone integrated Samsung SmartThings household appliance (dishwasher, oven, washing machine) into the home assistant?
Is the SmartThings hub also required?
How do you rate the quality of appliances?

I am in doubt as to whether to buy Samsung SmartThings household appliances or Bosch Home connect

I ask for your advice

I found some discussion on this board about a SmartThings fridge. I am interested in knowing how well a washing machine is supported though, if anyone can comment?

There is some support for LG appliances from custom components. I am using this one to get the status of my dishwasher:

There is a fork of this I haven’t tried yet with support for more devices:

No hub required.

I only use it to monitor, not to trigger actions (I have the Samsung app for triggering things).
