[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super excellent so far, and easier that gives you the right time to do other things to do without being aware.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Crap
on November 10, 2024
Posted by: Tiffanymw
from Hedgesville, wv
Do not but this washer unless you want to spend endless hours trying to get it to spin out. Don't worry it won't, it doesnt matter how the clothes are arranged or the load size. I changed the tension bars didn't work, leveled it, recalibrated, nothing works. Only had it 3 years, and from what I've read I am not the only one to have this issue.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Crap it is useless
on December 4, 2024
Posted by: Russ
Never buy one of these machines if you want a washer that works for over 5 years.There is just myself and my wife in our household.We bought one around 5 years ago.Now I spend more time trying to get it to spin without it getting unbalanced.5 towels or a set of 2 bedsheets and 4 pillowcases and it takes me an hour unloading soaking washing to try to.load it again to make it balanced I even went as far as folding towels before washing them. Will never buy again and NEVER recommend

I have shared a Samsung link below to help with your experience. The link has six checkpoints. You can skip checkpoint C (third checkpoint) since this applies to front-load machines. The link also has hyperlinks that you can visit for additional help.

Hate it
on March 2, 2025
Posted by: MissOldWasher
I hate this machine. We’ve had it for a little over four years and there have been issues on top of issues. It leaves a weird residue on dark clothing no matter what soap we try. It becomes unbalanced easily and every time we adjust the load it continues to add 20 minutes to the spin cycle resulting in over THREE HOURS for one load

Connectivity is my favorite feature
on July 23, 2024

from Groveland, FL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have highly enjoyed my experience of ownership of my washer and dryer combo. Has made my life so much easier. With them being connected to my phone I can remind my kids that their laundry is done while I'm at work.
I would recommend this to a friend!

New technology we'll worth the money
on September 9, 2024
Posted by: Jaybee412
from Las Vegas Nevada
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the washer without an agitator. It has been a quiet machine. The technology has improved from my previous washer. When the washer completes it's cycles, it plays musical tones to indicate it done. I had my previous washer for 13 years and it was a noise maker. The different types of washing modes are very innovative.

Should have bought this SOONER!
on September 30, 2024
Posted by: FloridaGal
from Jacksonville, FL
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this after several months of struggling with the washer left me by the prior homeowner. I wish I had purchased this sooner. I LOVE this washer. It is not top of the line, but it does everything I need. I particularly love the SuperSpeed setting if my wash it not terribly dirty. The Active Water Jet gets everything clean, even on the SuperSpeed setting. The washer is quiet and super energy efficient. Very happy with my purchase!
