Customers are saying
Customers appreciate the quiet operation and large capacity of this washer. However, some customers find the wash cycles to be lengthy. The detergent dispenser also appears to be a source of some issues for a few users. Overall, the positive feedback on noise level and capacity outweighs the negative comments regarding wash time and detergent dispensing.

BEST Washer on market-silver care technology & VRT
Posted .
This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I did extensive research before purchasing a new washer and dryer and I am SO glad I decided on the Samsung pair. Washing clothes is actually seamless now and my clothes are really really clean (didn't realize how dirty they were before). I can wash throw pillows, comforters, even delicate nylons and bras, and the washer is gentle on them and gets them clean. The KEY difference with the Samsung pair is the Silver Care technology. This is a cold water ionic cleaning that really removes stains from your clothes without the need for bleach, chemicals or stain removers. No other brand has Silver Care and this is a huge benefit that I wonder if most owners are taking advantage of (you have to add it to a cycle and it does extend the time by about 20 minutes which some people may not take the time to do---but very worth it). I use silver care on almost every load I do, much more than I opt for the deep steam component.
When I was doing the research into steam washers and dryers, it was confusing at first because everyone has good and bad experiences with all the brands out there. There are pros and cons about each. Some sets have a steam dryer only and not a steam washer, while others are revearsed and have steam for only the washer. For those out there wondering why steam, here you go: The steam washer component is a very hot deep cleaning cycle that is meant to better remove stains but should not be used for the delicate items. I use it mostly with whites along with the silver care, but I find that the Silver Care (only available on the Samsungs) is a much more effective stain remover and because it is cold water can be used on all types of clothing. The steam dryer is a totally different thing-it is used to steam your clothes and get wrinkles out. I use this occasionally and I like it, but I am suprised at how little I actually use it. It is nice to have the times when you do need it.
In summary, I am very happy with my Samsung set and would highly recommend them. I can now get all of our family laundry done by noon once a week when I used to be washing clothes all day long every other day it seemed. The Samsungs make it easy to just throw the larger loads in there and walk away. The only downside is that it does take longer to wash the clothes, especially when you add the Silver Care or steam cycles. But I have found that my clothes are much cleaner and I can do larger loads so it actually takes me less time overall. Plus, the washer is so effective in spinning the clothes (and quiet too) that the drying time is much shorter. I love that the dryer senses the time needed and shuts off early so as not to over heat and shrink your clothes! One last comment on the noise factor....this washer is so quiet I have it next to my young son's room so even if he is taking a nap it does not wake him or bother him. Happy shopping to all out there like me who are doing your research and looking for the best bang for your buck...which I found at Best Buy in store, as they not only matched all others best prices but combined deals so that I ended up saving about $700 off retail (better than any internet price) for set including the pedestals. Best Buy has a lifetime customer in me.

Best Purchase Ever

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The Price was great, I was able to get the washer and dryer with no charge for the pedestals. The salesman also took some additonal dollars off my purchase. I did a lot of reading online before making a decision on which brand to purchase. I liked the fact that Samsung had the largest capacity steam washers and dryers and size was important to me. The reviews on this site just made my decision a little easier. My local Best Buy stores did not have the washer and dryer in stock so I bought them from the internet photos only. I was a bit apprehensive, but they are great. Not only are they a beautiful set, but they work superbly. I have tried every cycle, including steam and sanitize and they are all great. This set replaced a Maytag HE front loading set, because I wanted the steam function and the pedastals. My old set wouldn't fit under existing cabinets in my laundry room with the pedastals. Having a bad back, I could no longer bend to get the laundry from the low vantage point without pedestals. I do not recommend getting these without the pedestals. You will be disappointed in the long run. Wait till they have the free pedestal offer to buy. It's a savings of over $500. Delivery was prompt, effecient, and friendly. The installers even gave me time to mop my floor under the old appliances before bringing in the new ones. They are a bit pricey but when compared to some of the other brands without the capacity and features, it is a good price. Wouldn't hesitate to buy Samsung again.

Great washer, very quiet, extended wash times

I purchesed the washer and matching dryer 2 days ago. Since then have washed several loads. This washer is great. The cloths come out clean. So far seems very gentle on all fabrics.
I live in a second floor apartment. I thought it would be possibly too loud for the second floor. This is not the case. I have actually placed things in the washer and can not hear it when in my bed room with the door closed. Also there is no rocking, or walking of the washer during the rinse and spin cycles. Runs nearly silent.
The only problem I have with the washer is the extended wash times. It takes anywhere from 40 minutes up to 2 hours to complete a load depending on the load type and features you choose. I'm use to being able to wash a load of laundry in 30 minutes or less no matter what type of fabric or water temp you choose.
I would deffinately recommend this washer to all I know. It really is a great machine. Slightly costly however at this time well worth the price.
Have only had the washer for 2 days now so will update or write another review in a month or so.

Quiet Washer

Overall I really like this washing machine. There are many different settings, including hand wash. The capacity is great, since there are seven of us we do a lot of laundry. I have the machine on hard wood floors and we have no problem with vibration or noise. The only complaint I have at this point is that the laundry doesn't always smell clean, even when using fabric softener. I have adjusted the load size and that seems to help.

Great Washing Machine

I was sick and tired of doing multiple loads of laundry especially in the Winter time (e.g. jeans, sweatshirts, etc.). We also have a King size bed so every so often I had to run to the Laundromat to wash our comforter. Those days are over. It handles 2 sets of king sized sheets. To give you a sense of reference I am 6’ 3” and 250lbs. I washed in one load: 1 pair of jeans, 3 pairs of Dockers, 5 pairs of shorts, 5 t-shirts, 18 boxers and 12-15 pairs of socks. It still had room. As far as noise my wife commented that we could have this in our bedroom and not be bothered. My only small gripe is that the cycle times are long, about an hour. This isn’t a problem as it holds 2-3 loads of laundry compare to typical top loader. The issue is when you have a small load and still have to wait the hour. We just let more stuff pile up. Problem solved.

I love the Washer

I bought the machine Memorial Day Weekend. I received a great price on it and the salesman was very helpful. I did not want to pay as much as I did but I am very glad that I went ahead with the purchase. I actually sat in front of the washer to watch it wash for a while. It was so quiet that at one point I had to come back and check to make sure it was really working. Large loads are great. My son will shove laundry in and the washer will take it. I haven't noticied a major cleanliness issue but then again we haven't been getting very dirty lately. I purchased the pedestals and am extremely glad that I did. Don't know what I'll put in the drawers though, especially if the pedestals are designed to prevent you from having to bend down all the time. You bend down for the drawers.
A:AnswerMost washers in America don't measure capacity by weight. I know most of the European washers will go by a weight rating first and a cubic foot capacity second. But to give you an idea, this washer will hold a standard king size comforter, a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, and 2 pillowcases. Or it will hold up to 22 pairs of blue jeans. The wieght between the two loads is completely different, but it's the same capacity.
A:AnswerLike most manufacturers, Samsung periodically transitions models to ensure the full line-up has an appropriate selection of features, colors and pricepoints to appeal to a diverse group of customers. I cannot tell you when new models will be introduced or what capacity or features they may have, but what I can tell you is that there are no changes in the availability of the WF448AAP washer and the matching DV448 dryer at this point in time.
Thank you for your interest!

A:AnswerSteam is very helpful in getting out certain types of stains, by helping to loosen the fibers and release the stain or embedded dirt. Steam is also effective as a sanitizer.
Thanks for the question!
- Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerThe silver will last for approximately 3000 washes. If you use the SilverCare function for 5 cycles per week, it should last you 12 years. To replace it will cost about $250 right now....who knows what the price will be in 12 years.
A:AnswerThe WF448AAP measures 27" wide by 39" high by 32" deep, and requires only enough room for the water hoses and connection. The dryer measures are 27" wide by 39" high by 31-1/4" deep, and the total depth needed depends on how you intend to set up the venting, and whether the location has adequate ventilation. If so, and you plan to vent from behind, you'll need approximately 4-5" for the duct, so your 36-1/4" is enough. However, I would suggest downloading a pdf file of the User Manual to familiarize yourself with the ventilation requirements, particularly as they pertain to alcove or closet installations, to make sure your washroom does have sufficient clearance and airflow. You may also want to consider venting the unit from the side or bottom, to reduce the amount of space needed for rear venting, using Samsung's DV-1A side/bottom vent kit. Information about side and bottom venting can be found on Samsung's website, or you may want to consult with your Best Buy appliance or installation team to determine which set up best suits your needs.
Thank you for the question,
Ms. Samsung
A:AnswerThe WF448 has been on the market since 2008; the WF419 was launched in 2009. These two models have very similar features, and "best" is a relative term.
If you do many loads of laundry each week, then the larger capacity of the 4.5 cubic foot WF448 may be the "best" for you. If efficiency is a top priority, then perhaps the 4.3 cubic foot WF419, which is among the most efficient on the market is the "best".
In either case, you wouldn't be sacrificing quality or features, including: Samsung's patented Vibration Reduction Technology, which significantly reduces noise and vibration so you can install anywhere in the house, even on the second floor; Direct Drive Motor, for both quietness and durability; Diamond Drum, to reduce wear on fabrics; ActivFresh (WF419) or SilverCare (WF448), to help keep both the drum and your clothes fresh-smelling and mildew-free without bleach, even in cold water; Steam Cycle, to help remove stains and odors.
In addition, both models are extremely efficient in both energy and water use, and both share Samsung's legacy as the most recent (2009) recipient of the JD Power & Associates Overall Customer Satisfaction Award for Washing Machines.
Thank you for your interest in Samsung!
