They also find it easy to use and appreciate its many features. However, some customers have noted that the drum depth is excessive, and the spin cycle could be improved. Concerns have also been raised regarding the washer's durability and tendency to become unbalanced.

I've had the unit for one month. Incredible capacity, it tackles massive loads of clothes with aplomb. It operates quietly and quickly. I am measuring kWh consumption with a Kill-A-Watt and it has not shown anything to worry about yet. The one flaw I quickly discovered is with adding detergent/softener, which is done via a tray that pulls towards you from the back of the washing machine. It's quite difficult to get detergent/softener into it, because the tray doesn't pop out that far and is somewhat obscured by the "sink" (which cannot be removed). If you are using a large container of detergent it isn't easy to get the position right, or you risk spilling and wasting it. Aside from this, I've been delighted by the machine, and am happy to work around that flaw - wouldn't want to risk switching to something else! (the other aspects of the machine are too cool to do without)

First off this washer was purchased to replace a previous Samsung top load washer that was recalled. I got this one and upgraded to the larger tub, rinse basin and steam feature. It has been running almost nonstop since I got it. I love it! The tub is so deep you almost need a step stool to reach the bottom. It is very quiet and does a great job. I'm happy.

Loved the platinum color, the Geek Squad installers, and how easy it is to use. Love the pre-soak stain tray. Beautiful and easy to use!
