Customers often highlight the large capacity, quiet operation, and excellent cleaning performance of the Activewash 5.4 Cu. Ft. washer. Many appreciate its ease of use and the spacious tub size. However, some users mention the washer's depth as a potential drawback, and a few have experienced issues with balance and the lid's tendency to close unexpectedly. There are also some concerns about the washer's long-term reliability.

I was skeptical about purchasing the new non-agitator models of washers as I had experience with an LG that didn't use enough water and didn't clean well. But all the agitator types were low-end and only came in white. So after reading the reviews I took the chance and bought the Samsung pair. We have had them several weeks now and I must say I am pleasantly surprised that I don't have the former issues. I have washed several loads on different settings and they all have cleaned well. I just washed a white coverlet on the bedding cycle. It had an area with newsprint ink where I had left a newspaper and books on it for several days and a couple of yellow spots elsewhere. Washed it with just detergent, no bleach, and it came out perfectly clean. The dryer works well too. And the black stainless finish looks very stylish in my laundry room. The only issue I have is just getting used to the sink in the top. It would be nice to have it removable when not using. I would like to be able to see the operation of the washer and the detergent/ water levels used. So far I haven't used it as a sink, just tried it out with filling with water. I think I will use it occasionally in the future.

We bought this under the gun. Our old one died and we had to have one. We were very pleased and lucky to get this one. Love the technology and high capacity so we can wash our comforter.
