Suggestion for upgrade.
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Samsung washer model: WA40A3005AW/A4. Disappointed that water level cannot be controlled except for preset values. In order to SAVE water, the fill level should strictly depend on the wash load weight!

Silent and Efficient
Posted .This washer turned out better than I had hoped for. It's equipped with various settings to facilitate our different loads (small, large, delicate, etc.) It makes ways less noise than my last washer. The noise is faint even when in close proximity. Washer allows you to drop in last minute items even after load was started (you will have to give it a few seconds to unlock though). Most of its features are straightforward. Comes with a safety lock which is a great added layer of protection for when kids are around. Washer does a great job in ensuring there isn't excess water in loads which makes drying much faster.

Best Washing Machine Ever!!
Posted .The Samsung 4.0 cu. ft. Top Load Washer with ActiveWave is the best washing machine I've ever owned. I've never heard of an ActiveWave agitator before, and on the first time I used the machine I fell in love with that instantly! It helps to move everything around without the stuff getting all tied knots or tangled up. With the large capacity I get to do fewer loads giving me more quality time with the family. I absolutely love the soft close lid, my husband has accidentally slammed the lid on our old washer so many times and it is so loud it has made me yell more than once, he found it amusing LOL. The washing machine has 8 preset washing cycles, I haven't used them all yet but I'm sure I will eventually having so many grandkids. This is also the quietest washer I've ever heard or should I say not heard! I've had washing machines that were so loud that they have woken my daughter from naps(that's loud). I'm starting to get older and any little reminder is a blessing and this wonderful washer has 2 great little reminders. The first reminder is that after 20 loads it will notify me that it's time to give it a good cleaning (no smelly laundry). Cleaning is as simple as a push button setting! The second reminder, and also my favorite, is after your wash cycle is complete this amazing Samsung washing machine actually plays a cute little tune! No more screaming buzzer like I'm used to. All in all I can say this is by far the best washing machine I've ever owned. I received this Samsung Appliance at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion!

Excellent washer, efficient and quiet!
Posted .This Samsung top load washing machine works great! I am extremely impressed with the size of the drum and I'm able to fit so much more clothing into each load than I expected I would be able to before seeing it in person. The soft close lid is a nice feature and the washer is super quiet when running. I love that the machine has a self clean mode and it actually reminds you after 20 washes to run a self clean cycle. It also has a bedding setting which is great for my bulky bedspreads! Every load I run gets things perfectly clean, and leaving me with fresh smelling laundry. Also, the spin cycle gets everything as dry as it possibly could without using a dryer, which is awesome for things that you need to hang/air dry. When each load is complete, the washing machine plays a cute little tune. I couldn't be happier with my new washer! I received this Samsung Appliance at a discount in exchange for my honest opinion!

Q: QuestionHello! Does this washer actually fill all the way up like the old-school machines? I have a GE that has a "Deep Fill" cycle, but unfortunately it is useless as it does not even fill half way no matter how large the load. Thank you in advance!

- A:Answer Yes it has low medium high extra high load

Q: QuestionCan you open the lid after it's started to add to it.
Asked by boatman.
- A:Answer Great question, bigR! Yes, you can open the lid to add/remove clothes once the cycle has started. However, you will have to wait until the icon that looks like a shirt with a + sign is lit up. This indicates that it is safe to open the lid. You will then need to pause the cycle by pressing the Start/Pause button. Once you are finished and have closed the lid, you will need to press start again to resume the cycle. ^Jecca

Q: QuestionWhat is the manufacturer's warranty? How can I register my machine? I wasn't given a packet with that information. Thanks
Asked by GramGram.

Q: QuestionWhat size Drain Hose is needed? If the hoses are not included, why are they not an "add-on" option like the dryer hoses? It would great if a picture of the back of the appliance was avaialble.
Asked by Question.
- A:Answer Drain hose is included. The hot/cold water supply lines aren’t included and have to be purchased separately. They are a standard size designed for washers. Go with stainless steel they will last longer than the plain rubber ones. They only are offered add-on I’m guessing for installation service.

Q: QuestionI purchased this washer but I didn't see a place to put your washing powder. Do you have to use pods, or can you use washing powder?
Asked by Kathy.
- A:Answer All detergent go in the well of the washing machine. The fabric softener goes in the agitator. Pods. Liquid. Powder ... All in the well ... Clothes. Detergent. Softener. Bleach if needed. Then close the washing machine. Choose your options and go.
