Samsung 4.2 Cu. Ft. 9-Cycle High-Efficiency Steam Front-Loading Washer: For your busy family, you need a washer with convenient features that can handle your big laundry loads. This large-capacity washer can interact with your smartphone, includes self-cleaning technology and features a child lock to help keep your little ones safe.
I've had this washing machine for two months. I was leery of buying another front loader due to the mold build up on my previous Kenmore Washer), but after reading tons of reviews and checking Consumer Reports I decided this was the way to go.
Pros: -They've redesigned the tub so it drains the water out. I have no sitting water in the rubber gasket to wipe out. This means no mildew! -sleek looking design. Easy to use and figure out. -Huge capacity! I can do twice as many loads as my old machine. -Child lock to prevent kids from messing with the dials -Spins the clothes out really well. Even though I have a smaller dryer, I'm still able to dry my clothes faster because they are so well spun. -Cleans very well. Clothes don't have residue. -Gentle on my delicate items. -loads stay balanced. No more having to open the door and rearrange items mid cycle. -quick wash cleans well if I'm in a hurry. Cons: -Wash times are ridiculously long. The sanitize cycle is 2.5 hours! -I haven't noticed a huge improvement in stain removal (even with steam) over my old machine. -the machine is quieter overall, but the spin cycle can get very loud. My machine is balanced, but it still vibrates. I have a second floor laundry room, though, and have heard this is a common problem. -This model doesn't come with a sport cycle
I have been very happy with this washer. I would recommend.
