Q: can you set the water levels on this one or is it "auto sense"?

A: DO NOT BUY IT! You cannot adjust the water levels. Read my review. It is a horrible machine with bad engineering and takes forever because it is off balance constantly. It also ties everything in knots. You'll hate it.

Q: Can I wash rugs with rubber backing in this washer?

A: Yes you can. We do all the time and it works just fine. I would use a lower spin setting for the rugs' sake.

Q: Can the washer basket under the top be removed?

A: Yes, it can be removed. I just purchased this at the store today and had the sales rep show me how it can be removed. You need to push the two plastic pins out that secure the tray for it to come loose. I don't think it is meant be removed and put back constantly (as it wasn't easy to do), but it can at least be done. The newer models (such as those with the flat top (no raised controls) have ones that are not removable.

Q: Does the newer AA model allow you to wash bedding in hot water on a regular or heavy cycle? How is this newer model different from the older recalled model?

A: If you flip down the sink in this model, it can't break the detergent dispenser like in the last model. The knobs look different, too. Other than that, I don't see any noticeable difference.

Q: Does the stated rebate amount include new hoses, installation and take away? Or is the rebate for the price of the unit only? The website says they will give you free delivery and installation. Who pays the new tax? Me? The washer is only 5 months old.

A: The hoses are included as well as delivery, installation and take away. Since your washer is only 5 months old they will give you a substantial rebate. I had mine a year and four months and I got $467 back because I bought another Samsung. You can find all of the info on line.
