Samsung - 7.5 Cu. Ft. Stackable Smart Electric Dryer with Steam and Sensor Dry - Black Stainless Steel

Replaced Samsung top load washer and dryer set that was about six years old (search: Samsung dryer won’t stop running issue) with this new set. The speed and amount of time this new dryer runs is much more efficient than my previous one. Love the WiFi feature to send alerts when the cycle is complete so your newly dry clothes don’t sit and wrinkle. Only issue was the installer snapped off the pedestal clip. Didn’t even notice until they left and I went to balance the feet. I love the way these new machines look in my laundry room. Hoping they last longer than the last set.

I got it when it was on sale. Very happy with the purchase, no complaints from the renter any more.

Great Dryer with lots of options for the money. I really like the refresh cycle that has steam to reduce wrinkles and sanitize or reduce static electricity. They Install a hose splitter to bring a hose to the dryer and maintain the one up the washer. I knocked it down a star because of the lint collector. It’s annoyingly cumbersome to open the clamshell hinged design and there’s 6 small screens to clean vs. my previous dryer lint collector that was 1 big easy screen. See pic. Otherwise so far so good.

Being able to get notifications that the washer & dryer is done on my smart devices is priceless. They are very quiet and efficient! I’ll recommend this to anyone! My only wish is that the pedestals were in stock.

I am very dissatisfied with the work of my dryer because I constantly encounter the problem that bulky clothing and bedding cannot be dried immediately. The drying process cannot be left unattended because the clothes constantly twist into rolls so tightly that it is impossible to unwind them. As a result, clothes can spin in the machine for an hour and the machine will turn off, indicating that the cycle is complete, but in reality everything inside the roll is still very wet! This is frustrating! I was advised to put felt balls in the dryer and then tennis balls to prevent the clothes from rolling up, but then I have to retrieve the balls from the twisted sheets and blankets. Additionally, when I remove the clothes and linen, all the balls spill onto the floor and now I have a new task of collecting the balls after drying! I am extremely disappointed that my new and modern machine requires the use of such balls that don't really help! Another problem is that the dryer does not control overheating, and sometimes after the drying cycle ends, it continues to dry, setting additional time, causing delicate clothing to over-dry and get ruined. I need to constantly monitor the cycle and control the drying. Overall, I am extremely dissatisfied with this product and regret buying it.

If the WiFi and Bixby integration is what you're buying this for, save your money. The WiFi features are hit or miss, Bixby is absent, and the Smart Things app is a dysfunctional security risk. Lets start with the Smart Things app. The app requires location and WiFi permissions. No surprise for the WiFi, the location permission gives the app Bluetooth LE and is needed only once, to set your dryer up. Even though you'll only use the feature once, the app will refuse to launch if you revoke this permission (that it needs only once). I wouldn't mind so much, but the app turns Bluetooth and WiFi on whether it's using them or not, and leaves them on until you manually turn them off, killing your phone or tablet's battery. As noted, revoking location privileges causes the app to refuse to do anything. What happens if you revoke WiFi privileges? The app goes ahead and turns on WiFi anyway. It bypasses Android security, ignores permission settings, and turns on WiFi even if you've revoked WiFi permission. This makes the app a security risk for your device. If it can ignore Android's security settings, it can be used to compromise your device. This is not acceptable. So what do you get for allowing this app to compromise your device? The only connected feature that really works -- and just barely, is the ability to monitor cycle progress. If you want to use the remote control features, you have to go to your dryer and turn them on manually for every cycle, completely defeating the purpose of having remote control features. Want to use the Cycle Link feature that lets your washer tell your dryer about the load it just washed so the dryer automatically picks the right cycle to best dry your clothes? You'll never get it to work, you'll get an error message every time. So what about the rest of the package? It's a great dryer, but you can get most of the features that actually work in a cheaper model, and that's what you should do. If you do decide to spend the extra money for the connected features, I strongly recommend maintaining your phone or tablet's security by running the Smart Things app in an emulator on your PC. Which brings to mind another issue: Why can't you access the connected features directly on your PC? Why does Samsung force you to use a portable device for them?

Nice dryer. I like the new design of the lint trap, should help keep vents cleaner.

This Samsung washing machine and it's maching dryer, were exactly what we were looking for! The smart functions are good at letting you know when the cycle is complete by notification on your smartphone. We were surprised that we could get "smart" machines within our price range. We love using them, and how nice they look in our home. Good Job Samsung!
