Samsung - 3.7 Cu. Ft. 9-Cycle Ultra Capacity Washer - White

Value for price, I rated that 3 stars because when I bought my washer it was $577 and now I see that it's $899.99. That's not bad if you have that kind of money, the washer is worth it. Quality, 5 star because this washer has not given me any problems at all, we have quite a few Samsung products and have had no problems with them either. Features, If the price is going to be $899.99 now then I would expect more preset wash settings. Performance, 5 star, This thing is great, my old washer was 22 years old (which is one year older than myself) and I had to wash our clothes twice to get the stains out and have them actually feel clean, this washer cleans my clothes like it's nothing. My husband does hardwood floor sanding and finishing, this washer gets the dust out of his clothes with and keeps them off of the other clothes, so I can wash his work clothes with our regular clothes. We also have a toddler that likes to get food all over her clothes. Jelly and juice on a white shirt, don't stand a chance.

Purchased in Feb 2011. Replacing 10 yr old Maytag top loader. Family of 5...lots of blue jeans, lots of bath towels. We're impressed with increased capacity over top loader. Can easily handle 10 large bath towels. Or, all sheets and mattress pad from a queen bed set. I like the quick wash feature for smaller loads. We also hav the matching gas dryer. The washer uses very little water compared to the top loader it replaced. It runs MUCH quieter. We didn't think it was running the first load we ran! We use ours in a basement so no issue with the vibration I've heard others mention. I can see the machine vibrating a little when it's spinning, but I don't hear anything...in terms of vibration. We are using with the matching pedestals. In the 3 months of use, we take care to wipe the gasket dry, to prevent mildew, as recommended. We also leave the detergent basket half-way open to allow it to dry. So far, no issue with the sour smell others have complained about. The contol panel is simple and straightforward. We are so glad we moved to a front load with the faster spin. Our clothes are cleaner and dry faster; whether hang-dried or put in the gas dryer. Our old washer left lint on the clothes that was obvious on the clothes we hang dried. This one doesn't! We highly recommend this washer (and dryer)!

My first experience with a front loading washer. Does the job well- uses less water (seems like almost no water) and gets clothes as clean if not cleaner than my old top-loader. Wash cycle is longer- about 10 minutes longer than my top-loader but I'll trade that for the savings in water/energy. Extremely quiet- doesn't shake and shutter like my old top-loader. Most times barely know it's running. Does have quick wash feature for not-so-dirty clothes that takes the wash time under half an hour. NIce feature. Installation was a snap, capacity is fantastic, overall very happy with our new washer and dryer!

Having suffered through a Maytag which constantly smelled of mold and sounded like a freight train after 2 years, and a Whirlpool that lasted less than 2 years, I called a few local repairmen asking about this machine only to be told not to trust any front-loader for the home. Thank goodness I didn't listen! This machine is quiet. It is very easy to operate. It washes very well and uses so little water. ALL the water drains after each load. Yes, I keep the door open in the evening after the last load to let it air dry and close it the next morning when not in use. It has a sterilizer mode that is great for getting smells out of what I thought were lost causes (bath towels/sheets) from my prior machine because of the stale odor. The cycles are longer than my last washer, but the result is spectacular clean laundry so it's worth the wait. If pressed for time, I use the delay start feature for an hour and a half before waking. Upon rising, I just put the contents into the dryer and I am set! We were fortunate to get a great sale price on this washer. Cannot say just how happy and easy it has been! Even plays you a little song when the cycle is done!

I expected this to last more than 7 years! Paid additional amount for a 4 year black tie warranty. Never used it, wish I had that money back! Parts to fix this would be a minimum of $300.00 and my labor. But if I get into it and there is more wrong with it? Purchased a new one!!! I agree with others, Samsung, stick to Cell phones and get out of everything else.

This washer machine holds a lot of laundry and washes clothes very thoroughly. I was impressed with the bedding setting as well because on my old washer all of the bedding would not be washed. Before, some of the bedding would still be dry and untouched because the washer was so crammed full that water and detergent could not get through to all of the bedding. Not the case with this washer! The controls and settings are logical and useful. The pause/start button makes it easy to start/stop loads of laundry especially if you forgot to add something after you've already started the load. The only downfalls with this washer I'd say are that the finished cycle tone isn't very loud so it's hard to hear it when you're not in close proximity to the washer. Also, a load of laundry on the normal setting takes about an hour to complete which is about twice as long as my old washer. The upside to this though is that the clothes come out cleaner and drier so you don't have to put them in the drier as long, thus saving energy and time. This is my first front loading washer and for anyone that is on the fence and trying to decide whether to get a front or top loader I'd say go with the front loader. It may cost a bit more but the features and quality of this product make it a great buy.

I bought the dryer and washing machine 3 days ago. So far I am totally satisfied with the product. I have been using the washing machine and dryer for 3 days. I have washed 15 loads and tried almost every setting the washer has. It really performs the way it advertises. The efficiency of the work is superb. The clothes are washed thoroughly. I have to admit that the cycles tend to be longer than a regular top load washer. But it is a trade off that is worth every minute spent doing laundry. The spin on the washer as well on the dryer is very quiet and smooth. The wrinkle free feature on the dryer is amazing. The clothes come out of the dryer with almost no need to iron them. The only thing I regret is not buy them before. I thought about not buying the pedestals because they are too pricey for what it is and what they offer. However, it makes it easier to load and unload your washer/dryer. I would also recommend to replace the rubber water hoses with stainless steel water hoses. Home depot sales them for $28. It has an anti siphon device that would prevent damage to the washer. This is a product that will make your life easier and will give you peace of mind knowing that you made a good investment.

I was able to fit our king size comforter in the washer. It does not get exceptionally dirty since it just sit on top of the bed and we do not allow the dog on the bed. It occassional gets a spot or two and to the laundry mat I would have to go. Not any more!!! It is so quiet and only uses the amount of water it needs. We bought it on sale which made the whole situation even better. I love the washer and it's matching drier. It does not take long to dry since the spin cycle makes the clothes only feel damp when they come out of the washer. I was a little concerned after reading the other reviews and the issues they had with the drum in the washer. My husband made sure all four shipping bolts were removed like the directions said and mentioned it could cause damage to the drum and warpping. Perhaps the other washers were bumped around during shipping causing the warping. I have had the set for over a month and use it at least eight times a week. (We have a good size family that are all boys who do not mind dirt.) I wold recommend this set to any one.
