A:AnswerThe 3.6 cubic foot capacity of the WF365BTBGWR is large enough to fit a king size comforter. While I can't tell you the equivalent in terms of the number of pairs of jeans, I can tell you the standard equivalency in terms of 24" x 44" bath towels is 25.4.
Thanks for your interest,
Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerThanks for the question. While the steam feature in the WF365BTBGWR and other steam washers can help to refresh garments that might otherwise be dry cleaned so you can make fewer trips to the dry cleaner, it does not actually have a dry clean cycle.
In addition, it's important to note that, though many items that are dry cleanable can also be washed safely and effectively using steam cycles, Samsung does not recommend steam washing items that are marked Dry Clean Only. Please refer to fabric care symbols to help determine which items are, and are not, safe for steam cleaning. For example, items that have the "High", "Medium" or "Low" iron symbol on the label may be fine with steam; items that indicate "No Heat/Air", "No Steam Iron" or "Do Not Iron" probably should not be washed in the steam cycles. If you're still unsure, I would suggest checking with your dry cleaner or other fabric specialist.

A:AnswerThe WF365BTBGWR comes with the hot and cold water supply hoses and requires supplied water pressure of 20-116 psi. The power cord is factory-installed and requires a standard 3-prong 120V/60 Hz/15-amp electrical connection; the drain hose is also factory-installed.
Samsung electric dryers, including the DV365ETBGWR, require a 220V connection with a 30-amp fuse or circuit breaker. Electric dryers do not come with the cord because the type of cord needed can vary based on a home's wiring as well as local building codes. I would suggest consulting with a locally licensed electrician to determine whether your home will require a 3 or 4-prong cord, or if hard-wiring the dryer to an appropriate electrical connection will better suit your needs.
Gas dryers, including the DV365GTBGWR, come with the standard 3-prong cord factory-installed, and require a 120V/60 Hz/15-amp electrical connection. The dryers come ready to connect to a natural gas line, or you can purchase the LPKIT-3 liquid propane accessory conversion kit if you plan to use propane to heat the dryer. In either case, you'll need to purchase a gas line connection kit, and should have a qualified technician install the gas dryer for you.
The DV365 (both electric and gas versions) comes with the parts needed to connect to water for the steam feature (hose and "Y" connector).
Following are some of the other parts you'll need to install the units:
- Vent duct (see attached chart for length and type)
- Side/bottom vent conversion kit if you wish to convert the dryer from rear-venting to side or bottom venting. Gas dryers can be vented out the rear, left or bottom; electric dryers can vent out the rear, left, right or bottom. The conversion kit is optional; the part number is DV-1A.
- Pedestals are optional accessories if you wish to install the washer and dryer side by side and have them raised up to a more comfortable height. The pedestals also have drawers for storing detergent, dryer sheets, etc.
- Alternatively, if you wish to stack the dryer on top of the washer to save floor space, you'll need the optional SK-5A stacking kit accessory.
I hope this information helps to clarify what you'll need to install your new washer and dryer. While it is very important to have the dryer professionally installed given the technical aspect of either gas or electrical connections, it would also be wise to have the washer installed by a professional familiar with the procedure for leveling to ensure the effectiveness of Samsung's Vibration Reduction Technology, which helps keep the washer quiet as it spins at its top speeds.
The washers and dryers come with hard copies of the user manuals and installation guides. If you'd like to review some of this information prior to delivery, most of the manuals can be downloaded as pdf files from Samsung's website.
Thank you for choosing Samsung!

A:AnswerThank you for your interest. The WF365BTBGWR was introduced only recently, so it isn't surprising that there aren't many reviews published as of yet. While I can't comment on another brand's product, I can tell you that the WF365BTBGWR features Samsung's signature Vibration Reduction Technology (VRT) that significantly reduces noise and vibration, even when installed upstairs; the Pure Cycle self-cleaning cycle; and an internal hot water heater. The 3.6 cubic foot capacity is large enough to fit a king size comforter or the equivalent of 25.4 standard (24" x 44") bath towels.
In addition, it's worth noting that the WF365BTBGWR is part of Samsung's line up of front load washers that have been awarded the JD Power & Associates Overall Customer Satisfaction Award for the past four years (2009-2012). Samsung is committed to your satisfaction, and if issues do arise, the competitive manufacturer's warranty, which includes 10-year coverage on the direct drive motor, can help ensure your satisfaction.
We appreciate your consideration,
Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerSamsung has a variety of colors available in different models. Though the WF365BTBGWR is currently available only in Neat White, if you'd prefer Tango Red you may want to consider the WF393BTPARA which has many of the same features as the WF365 but has a larger 3.9 cubic foot capacity and the premium Diamond Drum designed to be gentler on clothes.
Thanks for your interest,

A:AnswerThanks for the question. The 31-1/2" depth of the WF365BTBGWR does not include the clearance needed for the water and power connections. Samsung recommends leaving approximately 4-6" behind the washer for hookups. The actual amount needed can depend on the location and angle of the water valves and drain pipe since it's important that there are no sharp bends or kinks in the hoses that could prevent water flow.
- Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerThanks for the question. Yes, the WE357A7W is compatible with the new washer and dryer models, including the WF365BTBGWR, which have the same type of leg assembly as the previous models. The difference is in the pedestal attachment system. The newer pedestals have a Quick Install system that requires the feet to remain attached; the feet then fit into a clamped assembly that comes pre-installed on the pedestal. As you mentioned, your type of pedestal can be attached to the new washer by removing the washer feet and bolting it to the pedestal using the same parts that were used to attach your previous washer.

A:AnswerThanks for your interest. The WF365BTBGWR requires a connection to your home's hot and cold water supply, as well as drain facility access. While the drain hose can be directed to drain into a sink or laundry tub rather than a standpipe, the washer is not designed to be portable. For more information, please refer to the user manual for installation requirements and recommendations.

A:AnswerThanks for your interest in the WF365BTBGWR washer. Please call 888-BEST BUY or contact your local Best Buy store for promotional details.

A:AnswerIt includes all you listed, and also has a quick wash and sanitize cycle. I can't think of a task it can't handle, actually. I may never use all the varied options, as it also can vary the temperature and spin intensity, as well as provides an option for less soiled - highly soiled settings
