Made a Bad Decision
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worst machine we've ever owned. It has started having problems after 18 months. It goes out of balance almost every load, size of the load does not matter. It rebalances now and restarts the whole cycle again, if not monitored to stop. I've never owned such a poor performing appliance in my life. Called customer service who offered little to no help. Told me to recalibrate and if it still goes out of balance pay for a technician to come out. A 1 year warranty on a major appliance was the first red flag....I would never recommend this machine to anyone based on the experience I have had.

Disaster!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The installer didn’t hook up the drain hose so the house was flooded. I filed a claim twice because they forgot to send the first one through. Now they said they will close the second case and wait to hear from our attorney. What? I’ve been buying TV’s, phones and appliances from Best Buy since the 90’s. I have 300 dvd’s from them. My go-to. But this one is a deal breaker. Buyers beware!

Good, but it doesn't last

No Hot Water
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You have to read page 37 of the Users Manual to find out that there's not such thing as hot water. However, this occurs on ALL of the cycles, except self-clean. Called support. They said Hot water will damage my clothes. Really? I've been doing laundry for 40 years. Then support changed their tone and said it is what Samsung deems as hot water. How does Samsung determine what is "acceptable adult bath-water" and "comfortable swimming-pool water"? Page 37 "If you select NORMAL cycle, this cycle is the regulation and UL cycle. Since new washers must reduce the amount of energy usage as a first priority, customers will notice more cold water entering the washer. But, this is normal, not a problem. In those regulation cycles, Hot temperature is similar to acceptable adult bath-water temperature and warm temperature is similar to comfortable swimming-pool water temperature."

BUYER WARNING
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.DO NOT buy Samsung washers. They don't work! I had them come out for repair the first year 3 times and it still doesn't work. Only now it's not under warranty and they won't do anything about it. Leaves white product all over black clothes. The water bowl doesn't ever get all the clothes wet. They come out dry. Does not clean clothes at all.

Worst washing machine I've ever owned.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worst washing machine I've ever owned. Simply put, the washing machine beats itself up during most washes causing it to spit out UL or UB codes meaning it's unbalanced. It's on flat ground and the feet are dialed in perfectly, internally it's just lacking.
