Samsung - 5.0 Cu.Ft. High-Efficiency Stackable Smart Front Load Washer with Steam and OptiWash - Brushed black

Amazing. Sleek, sturdy, and SILENT! Washes better than any machine I’ve had and is simple to use. Connected to dryer with the MultiControl Kit, even though not stacked (fits when right next to each other).

Delivered July 23rd, 2021. $1200 washer. Today, the door leaked water all over the washroom (small load). I opened the door and took photos of the malfunction (included in this review). I am activating my Geek Squad warranty today, and my next update will include how that went and when this is all resolved.

Since there are probably a lot of other reviews on this item I will clarify some of it was very unique features instead. The best thing that we love about this washer and dryer set is the ability for them to stack but control both machines on the bottom display. The worst thing that I dislike about both is I still haven’t figured out how to operate from my iPhone! The other really negative thing is that on several washes and dry there have been very strange faded blue marks. I attribute these streaks to some kind of new lubricant in the machine system but I’m not sure. Lastly the other thing that we don’t like is that it shows fingerprints constantly despite wiping it clean and you know how fingerprints get with dirty clothes.

Wow really does a great job getting clothes clean. I just love not having to guess on how much Detergent to put in Because it doesn't owe on its own

**DISCLAIMER**I purchased my dryer at a discount in return for my honest feedback Before I get into my review, I must say that your experience will be significantly improved by buying the pedestals if you purchase this washer and dryer. The pedestals were a game-changer for me! The brushed black look perfect in my all-white laundry room. I now leave the laundry room door open because the appliances look so sleek and modern. I have washed several loads of clothing since I have received this set. My clothes have come out great. They seem cleaner and more comfortable after being washed and dried. Both appliances have wifi capabilities that let you use the Smart Things app. I love this app because you can send "recipes" directly to the washer and tell it to wash the load a certain way. The auto dispenser is extremely helpful since I only purchase the large Costco-sized laundry detergent and softener. You have the ability to choose the level of detergent that is dispenced (low, medium, heavy). I have washed several loads on heavy and still have not had to refill the dispenser yet. The size of the washer is excellent. I can wash large loads, and I can also wash my king-size sheets and comforter. I haven't used the speed cycle yet, but it is an option. I believe you can wash a load in about 20 minutes. This will definitely come in handy! I also enjoy the ability to delay the time in which the washer starts. I can put my clothes in the washer and have it begin washing in the morning so that the load is still fresh when I need to dry. The dry is very efficient as well! The clothes came out dry, and nothing has been damp, even with sheets and towels. I have only tested the steam ability once, and it worked really well. I love that you have to connect it to a water source so that I don't have to keep refilling the reservoir to steam items. My only con about this set (and it's a small one) is that the silver trim can be a fingerprint magnet. It's not a big deal, but it is something that I pay attention to. Other than that, I would highly recommend you purchase this washer and dryer. They are game-changers!

Complimented as the Tesla of washer and dryer. Touch control, aesthetically pleasing, and wifi enabled/smart washer makes this appliance look and feel modern. This unit replaced a 7 year old Samsung washer that was giving the infamous ND error code. The notification of time to completion of the washing cycle is a nice touch. The soil, spin, and temp is adjusted from 1 to 5. What I enjoy GREATLY is the Optiwash and the detergent/softener dispenser. The detergent/softener is able to fill up, according to the manual, 20 loads. The Optiwash dispenses the amount of detergent and softener it thinks the cloths need. This amount can be adjusted from default x 1 but I increased the amount to x 2. The knock off star is the high-efficiency claim. This is NOT high efficiency washer compared to older generations. ALL my Optiwash cloths run through one cycle and the notification on the APP notifies the cloths are extra soiled requiring another rinse/wash (essentially another cycle), and the cloths are not covered in debris or dirt, just normal every day wear.

As I stated when I purchased as a set with dryer very sleek and clean looking. The black glass look is extremely classy. The auto detergent and softener feature is sweet, a savings on volume use from past. Samsung did WELL on this pair

I love this washing machine. It has taken me a few loads of laundry to really get the hang of it, but now that I have, I love it. Pairing it with the dryer makes laundry that much easier. The washing machine will send the information on the load to the dryer. So if you washed your clothes using the “Towel” setting, it will let the dryer know to dry “Towels”. If you want to select a different dryer setting, you can do this as well. This product really shines with the SmartThings app. I downloaded it on my iPhone (and iPad) and it sends me alerts about my laundry. It also reminded me to clean the lint trap (whoops). I have also gotten alerts about it running low on detergent (I didn’t fill it that much, I was skeptical). It also keeps track of general maintenance. The only issue I see is that water collects in the rubber lining on the door. It you keep the washer shut, before it drys, it seems like it could lead to mildew growth.
