Clean Look, Clean Clothes

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am in love with the clean, simple look of this unit. It takes up less space than two separate machines and looks far nicer than your typical stacked set. On top of that, the controls for both the washer and dryer are in the center, where it's easy to reach them-- no stretching on your tip toes to try and get the dryer going.
This has plenty of settings for temp, soil level, dryness level, etc. The display on front shows a number value (1 to 5) for each setting and the screen tells you in plain English what the setting is as you are adjusting it (tap cold, cold, warm, hot, etc.). It's simple, easy to use, easy to understand.
I didn't think I would use the app much, but I'm a convert. Having a notification on my phone reminds me that I have laundry to move over to the dryer or take out and hang up. It keeps me from forgetting anything (it happens!), and also I can keep the loads going when we have laundry piled up from our two boys that needs to be laundered.
My only complaints are pretty minor-- the end cycle chime is unreasonably long (10+ seconds) and you can't change the tune. Minor, but annoying. Also, the whole thing should have been powered off of the larger dryer cord, but instead I have a separate cord/plug for the washer and a separate one for the dryer. I'm not sure why they didn't simplify that.
Regardless, overall, I love it. It looks clean, takes up less space, is quieter than my old washer and dryer, and is easy to use. The wifi/phone app is a great bonus as well. Overall, 5 stars!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Star performer, prepared for laundry room remodel

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Bespoke AI Laundry Hub is going to be the centerpiece of our transformed laundry room experience. At present and with our first experiences using the hub, we are completely satisfied.
The ease of being able to switch between either washer or dryer controls is wonderful with the other keeping the place where you left off in the programming. Buttons are simple and the knob does the majority of the heavy lifting. Buttons are hidden when not in use and illuminated when available. It is a beautiful application using touch.
The music at end of cycle is a nice little treat and as we have not chosen to customize, expect that we can change it to a little jingle that adds a little smile to our faces.
For cleanliness and water efficiency, we are extremely satisfied. Our old washer and dryer were energy hogs where these are energy misers and water sippers.
Looking forward to many more years of function and completely happy with the 20 year motor warranty.
The build quality is solid and overall operations are quiet. We have yet to test with bulky items but with full loads, the washer and dryer are high performers!
Would recommend to any and all in need of a space saving, high performing washier/dryer combo.

Its Like Night and Day

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Talk about a big step forward - this was like switching from a loud rumbling horse carriage to a whisper quiet electric vehicle. This review will compare the old and new washer.
As you can see from the photos, this was a big upgrade. The old washer and dryer looks like something from the 80's whereas the new one looks like something from the new millennium. Cosmetically, there's no comparison which one looks better.
The old unit was the old tradition drum washer and made this loud and horrible slushing sound when running. People had difficulty sleeping when it was running. The new washer is super quiet and you could hardly notice it running if someone didn't tell you.
From a capacity standpoint, both the capacity of the washer and dryer in the new stacked unit was almost twice that of the old unit. This means double the amount of laundry could be done in the same amount of time. Big score.
One convenient feature that I really appreciated with this stacked washer and dryer unit is that the controls for BOTH the washer and dryer are accessible n the middle of the unit where everyone could access it. If the washer and dryer were purchased as separate units and stacked with a stacking kit, the controls for the top units would be way up high and hard to reach. This is a major convenience feature for anyone who needs to have a stacked washer and dryer and for height challenged people.
I did encounter one surprise which was that my old stacked washer and dryer unit only needed a single 240V outlet. The new unit had a separate 240V plug for the dryer and separate 110V plug for the washer. So, if you are replacing an old unit like mine, make sure you have accommodating electric outlets nearby or else you will need to hire an electrician to install a separate 110V outlet (like I had to do for mine).
All in all, I am very happy and satisfied with the new unit. Like I said, its like night and day.

The installation process was remarkably smooth, and the overall performance of these appliances is nothing short of extraordinary, solidifying them as an indispensable addition to any home.

Small yet powerful and Feature packed beast

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung stacked washing machine offers a compact yet powerful solution for laundry needs. Despite its size, this machine doesn't compromise on performance, delivering efficient cleaning results with every load. The intuitive control panel makes operation simple and straightforward. Given we have five people in the home, it accommodates accommodates various fabric types and soil levels. The Samsung Smart Things app is super simple to use, the setup was a breeze, we just scanned the code and it did most of the setup itself. I definitely prefer using the app over the control pannel as you can choose a multidue of options that seem burried in the control pannel. I love the design of the washing machine too as it is sleek and modern and fits perfectly into our space; the large front loading door make it easy to load and remove the clothes. Overall I am highly please with my samsung washing machine and would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Nice laundry hub design

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have work clothes that I normally wash myself. I like the interior and the large capacity of this machine because of the amount of work clothes I have not to mention how heavily soiled they are. I thought I would have to ask my wife how to operate this machine. But when saw the start button and I looked at the dial and started turning it, it became easy as pie. By the time my wife came in to help me, I already had my clothes in the washer. Even thou I don't like the amount of time on some of the cycles, I was even able to shorten the time to what I wanted. While turning the dial, I saw all the cool features, like the steam options, towels, bedding, and quite a few others. It even has an option for denim. Now, I like that since I wear a lot of jeans. It even has self clean which I haven't had to try yet. Wow, I have not seen so many options on a washer. And it lets you know when its complete by playing a tune. Fancy. And I'm always looking at the dryer filter to make sure it's not packed with lent. Now, I don't have to keep looking. It has an alert to let me know and it has a vent sensor. It has an energy star certification, which for me is important. I'm not that thrilled with HE machines because of the low water issue, but I do like saving money. And with this Samsung appliance having a 20 year warranty on the motor makes it a good investment. Even thou this machine is lacking the vibration reduction technology, it only slightly shakes when it's spinning during the rinse cycle. I'm old school, so I feel like I'm in the 21st century by being able to wash and dry from a samsung smart app on the phone. I can't wait to tell the guys at work.

Simple to operate

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like how easy the Samsung Washer and Dryer is so easy to operate. The interior of the washer and dryer is pretty big which I like. The capacity of the washer is 4.6 cu. ft. with Steam Wash included and the dryer has a capacity of 7.6 cu. ft. which is plenty large enough even for bedding. I haven't used the steam wash yet, but I have had the opportunity to use my phone to start the washer and dryer after it's been turned on. All I had to do was add my washer and dryer to the Samsung SmartThings app by connecting the wifi which is conveniently located on the front of the product. I also like that all I have to do is turn the AI Smart Dial to select my washer and dryer settings. I can even turn on the drum light that stays on for a couple of minutes. The only thing I don't like is the normal setting does not have enough water for me, but when I used the heavy duty setting with some adjustments for temperature and soil level, then I'm able to get more water. For instance, the normal setting cycle is 45 minutes compared to the heavy duty cycle which is 1 hour and 59 minutes. Yes, it's a lot longer which I don't like, but with some adjustments I'm able to cut the time down to 1 hour and 43 minutes. It's still too long compared to the normal cycle, but if I want more water then so far that's one of the options I having to choose. I wish there was a better way. Even though this machine does not have the vibration reduction technology, it performs well without shaking. It's a very nice looking machine. I've always wanted a stacked dryer and washer.

Wonderfull All one washing machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Samsung Washing Machine I got is amazing, it has loads of space and great features. First of all the fit and finish is great all around, it is stainless steel but I was really surprised is how Fingerprint Resistant it is. The Washing Machine looks clean even after a week and half of use. The installation was breeze, we just need to make sure that the water line is compatible with Washing Machine, mine was a standard water line and it perfectly well. Other than that it was just plugging into the outlet and we were all set!
I love the connectivity of this, the smart thing app was a breeze to set up with a walkthrough of each setup of the process. The App has all of the features as at the standard control panel but it is a lot better because you have more space to read and toggle all our options. It show real time updates like how much laundry is remaining. Once it is done, it does give you a notification alert. I like the app over the control panel because you get select options like preventing winkles and so on, where as on the control panel it is probably nested somewhere.
Coming to the washing machine itself it is quite good, it has all the great AI features, which it initially tests with a small load of water and adjusts accordingly for the wash cycle. My washing machine is about five years old and over that I see a notable difference in the washing quality. Whenever I use soft fabrics, my old machine would wash it too much giving kind of faded color, the samsung machine is great as it able to recognize it and adjust accordingly. It made my life so much easier as I don’t have to change the setting every time, I could just select Normal wash and the washing machine would handle the rest. Although, I didn’t test it enough, I feel like the washing machine has been using significantly less water. My only pet-peeve is I wish they made the control panel a little bigger as the current one has enough space for two line of text, so there isn’t a lot of information that could be fit in it. But the smart things app more than makes up for it.
I also love the integration with other smart things, like it shows the wash time left on my fridge. Overall, I have been very pleased with washing machine and it is a good upgrade to anyone looking to use a smart and connected washing machine.
