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

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!

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.

My first impressions of the Samsung WF50A8800AV washing machine are strong and positive. The glassy, clean design is very modern and conveys a strong sense of quality and premium finish. It is bold and substantial and really puts into perspective how pedestrian our previous washing machine appeared. When we ordered this unit we weren't sure about black appliances, but our concerns disappeared once they were positioned in our laundry room. The glossy finish and large glass door reflect light and do not darken the room as we feared. On the contrary, I now wish our laundry room was positioned to make these machines more visible as they fit in like a beautiful modern piece of furniture. (And I'm not even a modern furniture kind of guy.) Functionally, the machine is on the bleeding edge of tech. Samsung is leading the charge to revolutionize the home appliance industry and this is their special sauce. While some folks may never dig into all the tech, the machine allows for simple operation as a basic appliance that your grandmother would have no problem using. But even grandma will benefit from the technology as the machine learns over time based on usage patterns with no input required. For gadget lovers the Easter Basket is loaded. You'll find support for advanced phone integration to operate and fine-tune the wash cycles, AI to predict your wash cycles, compatibility with Alexa, Google Assistant or Bixby for notifications and control and the units can be stacked and controlled from the bottom set of controls--no more step ladder required. As far as being a washing machine, this machine supports every mode you could ever want such as standard wash cycles, refreshing fabrics, multiple steam options, quick wash, etc.... Nothing is missing. The capacity is also much larger than our previous standard machine and it operates in near silence with no noticeable vibration. Clothes have come out clean as should be expected. Finally, and probably my favorite feature is the configurable auto-dispensing detergent and softener feature. I can now rely on my young daughter to do her own laundry without creating a giant detergent spill. I'm excited to learn how the machine adapts to my habits going forward but so far am mightily impressed with this premium appliance from Samsung. I just hope we have the discipline in our family to keep these units free of clutter so we can enjoy the design (I'm not placing any bets.)

I recently received Samsung 5.0 cu. ft. Extra-Large Capacity Smart Dial Front Load Washer with OptiWash™ and Samsung 7.5 cu. ft. Smart Dial Electric Dryer with Super Speed Dry (WF50A8800AV & DVE50A8800V) . When it first arrived I felt like I had just received a laundry set from the future. Once I hit the power button, the machine clearly explained the set up and various features. I truly love the different modes for different loads. Especially the bedding mode. I love the steam sanitizer feature most of all. Our clothes and linens feel just, if not better than when we first purchased them! Everything comes out so soft and fresh. I feel like i have never had real clean clothes until NOW. I am amazed at the fact that I can control my both washer and dryer from my alexa device, phone or from the washer alone. The dryer has a inner stand that I am able to place tennis shoes on. The washer and dryer both have a nice sleek and slim design! The both hold double what my old machines could hold. Its like doing laundry at a luxurious laundromat. So worth the money!

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).

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.
