Best of Samsung

Probably the best BD player I have seen lately at BestBuy. Also has the clearest picture I have ever seen on a non-4K 3D LED TV out of a bluray player. I really didn't think there were any differences in video quality between various players until I saw a movie on this one.

Great sound quality, low battery life

Great sound quality for a headset. I use it every day for numerous conference calls. The specs say "7 hours of talk time". Not true with this headset. I get 4 hours talk time at the most then it just shuts itself off and I have to recharge it. This is my second one too. Had to return the first one for replacement because the earpiece had a broken piece on it and it kept falling off.

More than was expected

I read a number of reviews on this machine and most were positive. We have had zero problems with this machine since it was delivered a month ago. We made sure to use the right liquid detergent rated for front loaders and it does a great job of cleaning although it does take longer that the top loader we used to have. Typical of front loaders though. We used the sanitizing cycle to sanitize some towels, wash cloths and kitchen hand towels. Beats using bleach and towels came out very clean and odor free instead of that bleachy or musty smell they used to have that we couldn't get rid of without bleach before. One last thing - it's a very quiet machine and doesn't vibrate when it spins.

Clear sound but low range of use

This headset is comfortable and sounds great. The mute and call hook buttons are easy to get to. It is sensative to other nearby bluetooth devices though and does not have much range of use. Seems to work well no more than about 15 ft away.

This is a great laptop and is what I expected from Asus. It replaced an older Asus laptop that I never had trouble with. Sure wish it had come with a blu-ray player instead of a DVD drive. The touchpad is a little funky to use at first but works great now that I'm used to it.

Link with Samsung Phone

Is there any features where I can link the washer/dryer set to my Sumsung phone (Galaxy S5). Like say, send me an alert when the load is complete or e.t.c? Thank you.
No. Samsung discontinued models that DID do that a few years ago.

180 degrees. Door can be installed to open in either direction.

Does "Powerfoam" work with detergent "pods"?

Wondering if "Powerfoam" tech works with the laundry detergent "pods" you throw into the drum along with your clothes? Or does it only work with liquid detergent that you add to the pull out drawer on top?

Thanks!
This machine has a detergent dispenser that you're supposed to use. As long as the pods are specified for use by front loading machines, yes I'm pretty sure that would work by tossing the pads in and closing the door & starting the machine. I vaguely remember the directions saying that powder or liquid is preferred though.
