Fine until the touchscreen breaks

Wish I hadn't gone for the touchscreen model. It's really finicky to use: they designed it with this cutesy "bounce" when you scroll, but that means it just scrolls and then bounces back and it takes WAY longer to get to where you want to go than it should. Overdesigned.
But THEN the touchscreen went out. Not entirely, just huge sections of it. I see a review where this happened with others. I can buy a new dryer for the cost of repairing the touchscreen.
Cons: Did not meet expectations, Poor quality, unreliable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I purchased the washer and the dryer. The touchscreen on the dryer failed just a few month after the warranty period was over. Now, less than 3 years after the purchase, only the top half of the touchscreen on the washer works so I can't get to half the features. It is very pretty design but it is not build to last more a couple years and the repair is extremely expensive. As one of the most expensive washers on the market, you would expect it to be built to last but is is not.
Thank goodness for extended warranty from big box hardware stores. The month the Samsung warranty expired, we started experiencing issues with this dryer. There are two adults in our house and most of our clothes are dryclean so we only launder 4-5 loads a week. In three years we have had 3 replacements of the control unit. We were told by the technician that there is a known defect in the control systems so all he was doing was replacing the defective unit with another defective unit, there was no fix. Sure enough, two more replacements on the exact same issue. Avoid this product. It works great when it works, but don't expect it to last more than a year and Samsung will not stand behind the product. Same issues with the washer. Just look at the reviews and yet Samsung states there are no known issues with the product!
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, doesnt last
The dryer itself works great, unfortunately the screen went out and now it's worthless. Getting it repaired is a pain in the rear end and is expensive!
Pros: nice looking paperweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, ends up costing you way more, does not work without touchscreen
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi ChrisVonStina.
We apologize that your experience with the dryer screen was less than ideal. We appreciate all concerns that help us understand how to improve our products.
Should you need more assistance, please feel free to get back to us via the following options:
My wife and I bought this washer/dryer combo and were very pleased with the performance and style of them. Just outside of our one year warranty, the buttons and LCD screen stopped responding. It was very pricey to have fixed.
