Samsung - 4.5 cu. ft. High Efficiency Stackable Front Load Washer with Steam - Champagne

This review is for the Samsung 4.5 cu. ft. Steam Front Load Washer. I have had this washer for around 2 months, and have been very pleased. I feel like this is enough time for me to put my full, unbiased review. The TLDR is that I enjoyed this product and it completely outpaced my old washer in efficiency and consumption. It is quiet and nice, and I don't regret having it, but it does have some slight areas where they cheap out. The long version starts here- As usual, I'll start with the cons. There were only three cons that I can note here: The first was that my order got delayed for no discernable reason, making me have to reschedule the installation. This is more on Best Buy, compared to Samsung, but it still irked me. The second is that there may be too many options for washing (which can also be a pro, but in my case was slightly overwhelming). I only had 5 settings on my old washer, and this one has a total of 10. Again, this is a personal gripe, not really something that can detract from the product that much. Finally, the front paneling is plastic, which isn't terrible, but I dislike plastic fronts just for the longevity of the washer. My old washer had a plastic front panel that needed to be replaced due to it being brittle plastic and snapping off. The hope is that this one lasts, and so far it has, but I have no idea for the future. Now, for the pros, for which there are multitude more: First, this washer washes fast. It washes over 4 times as fast as my old one. I used the Quick Wash setting on this newer one, and it had the same effect as my "Normal Wash" on my prior one. Having to wait only 22 minutes compared to an hour and a half is a godsend, and I really am glad that it works this well. Next, this washer is very power efficient, again due to the faster run times. This is very nice due to the current energy enforcement laws around my area, since from 2PM-7PM on Weekdays we have to pay almost double what we're paying normally for electricity. This also can be accounted for because it's a Steam washer. The washer is very easy to load, the door is of nice quality, the detergent dock opens cleanly, and it doesn't seem to have any trouble with the internal tumblers. The construction on the body is metal, and does not shake (for my unit). I have seen people complaining about how their units shake the floor, but I luckily got a good unit that works perfectly fine. Finally, about the installation, the Best Buy installation guys were nice and friendly. They worked efficiently, and had it installed in about an hour. They were very thorough, and I was glad that they installed it for me, though they installed it at the beginning of June when it should've been May 27th. (As a side-note, Best Buy put it on sale about a week afterwards, and a friendly agent was nice enough to refund the 50 dollar difference to me. Good on you Best Buy!) Overall, this washer is a very good purchase, it's solidly built and does the job well. I'd suggest this to people who need a steam washer, and I am satisfied with my purchase and it fits well in my washing room.

Works great, very large capacity. I spilled a drop of liquid soap and it landed on the lettering next to the knob. When I noticed it I went to wipe it off and the lettering started coming off. Its not a decal so Im not sure how it can be fixed.

We moved into our new house 3 years ago. One of the things included was an LG washer and dryer. This included the latest top loading high efficiency washer. We gave up our front loader Whirlpool Duet (great washer BTW) and have regretted it ever since. Tonight after 3 years of UE codes and infuriating frustration I called enough! I am buying a new washer! I chose this Samsung and was then frustrated to find that washers are now something you order and get later... so I looked deeper and found this open-box available that I could pick up today... so I did. The whole thought started at 5PM and even though I had to drive an hour to pick it up, I had successfully washed the first load by 9PM! First let me say that the experience with Best Buy with the open box was great. They took me back to examine the washer which was listed as "Satisfactory" but I would rate it a bit higher... I find no defects whatsoever and saved some money on this otherwise brand new washer. I was quite pleased and they bubble wrapped it up and loaded it onto our truck. Once home it was not long before we had it installed and started the first load. Then 45 minutes later it FINSHED! For those out there with experience with the UE code... this is almost like a Christmas miracle! But it was more than that, because it brought back all of the good memories of the front loader. It spins up to a high speed, and it is so quiet. The clothes are nearly dry at the end. There was no vibration and everything went as hoped... it works perfectly! It looks great, the touch controls are simple, and it does the job it is intended to do, elegantly. I have attached a picture of the new Samsung in place, and also attached a picture of the LG which the elves are helping to take away forever! I so look forward to actually completing loads of laundry! The days of the 5-hour load are OVER!

We originally were looking at the LG line of Washer & Dryers and ultimately ended up with Samsung after a friend's recommendation (and using theirs for a couple weeks while we were in the process of moving into our new home). Very pleased with the unit and we did not have to wait two weeks (LG had a two-three week wait, could not find them in stock anywhere locally).

My wife says it is the most elegant thing we own, and it should be in the living room instead of the garage!

My in-laws had this machine for a couple of years, so when it came time to buy one for myself, I went ahead and got the same machine. Reliable and handles big loads.

Had this since the 4th weekend step up from my compact washer love how it automatically adjusts load sizes pretty quite as well so far pretty good in the electric as well so far very pleased with my purchase

Great washer! Stacked with matching dryer. Love the champagne color. Very quiet. Love the steam mode for delicates
