Samsung 7.5 Cu. Ft. 13-Cycle Steam Gas Dryer: The spacious interior of this gas dryer lets you dry more clothes in fewer loads. For neatly pressed results that will save ironing time, use the Steam Dry cycle to combat odors, steam away wrinkles, and freshen clothes.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I actually bought three sets of the samsung 13 cycle steam machines and a 3 matching gas steam dryer for my place and the two attached rentals of a triplex I mange. This review will be for both the washer and the dryer. Mine are set up side by side and the neighbors are stacked. That is a bonus not all front loaders can be stacked. I replaced Maytag Neptunes that were maybe 15 years old and I would work on myself. I like the larger capacity of the newer HE front loaders such as Samsung's. Im not sure all the hype but I went for the steam option for the washers and dryers. I haven't had them long enough to tell you that they wash better but I did a load of towels and used the steam functions and you know what, they seem softer, as though I'd used softener which I didn't. I got a geed deal and many discounts for having made such a large purchase during the labor day sale otherwise I would have gotten less expensive HE machines. It was a hard call for my unit (with side by side installation) weather to get an HE top or front loader. I'm pretty sure the front loaders that are HE still use far less water than the best top loaders. Samsungs unit with the built in sink was appealing though.
Potential Peeves......the doors don't open all the way, it doesn't hinder my where I have them and certainly would not in a closet install, but it could. as in all front loaders you either have to stoop to load switch and fetch your longer or purchase WAY OVERPRICED pedestals. put unless you are in the NBA then you loose your upper folding area. If you know you want them elevated consider the GE right height front loaders. they are excellent but honestly i should reviews things 3-10 years from now. I hope the seals (door gaskets) will not mold or stink like most come to. I can not tell you if they will be super dependable since I can not see into the future. I purchased 5 year extended warantees so I guess i wont be working on them myself for a while.
I gave 5 stars instead of 4 stars because 4 stars was "good" These are very good, perhaps the best? time will tell. They have a lot of bells and whistles, and that can mean more to go wrong. I feel I made the right choice for my situation. Samsung has become the maker of very dependable products. I do like that Maytag is still made in the USA ( I think) I probably should have considered them more. I considered the Kenmore Elite HE laundry center for the units, they fit perfectly in a closet and it is very easy to swith the load from the top load bottom up to the upper dryer. These are also tried and true designs that are easy to work on. I would like to see a machine that picks up my laundry from the floor and puts it in the machine switches it folds it puts it away and dresses me in the Morning, now That would be 5 star. I would have gone for an All-In-One aka combo washer dryer (one machine) like the LG 4.3 cubic foot model, if anyone made one with gas dryer. so many places because of the price of real estate and rents we need every square inch. I know from experience the all in one units that are 110 not 220 do not dry well. Also gas is far more efficient (cheaper) than electric in a dryer. Only the sun is cheaper. Come on Samsung, It'll be a hit in cities! It would be nice not to switch from washer to dryer as Well. as you can see I knew i wanted High Efficiency, I also wanted low water consumption....hello drought in CA....I have come to learn they are not the same and wish they would mark the machines which are water savers. I'll be getting 100 bucks back for each washer from my city utilities, that is nice. Remember one of the best things about front loaders and other HE machines is that they extract so much water because the spin sooo freaking fast. That is were your real energy savings is. The more dry they come out of the washer the less dollars and energy is spent drying them . old top loaders werent electricity hogs as much as water wasters that poorly extracted water. It seems to be true that front loaders are easier on clothing, but I myself am not easy on clthing and dont have anything fancy. One thing i am not sure of yet......does the steam in the dryer make my clothes less wrinkle free. It makes sense, i used to spray a little h2o in my dryer if i hadnt remembered to fold things when warm and redry for a bit. I just havent noticed yet. Also remember do the largest loads your machines are capable of. less loads equals less energy and less work, duh.

Put the iron away and forget the dry cleaners. This Samsung dryer will steam the wrinkles out of clothes and leave all your laundry fresh and odor-free.
Refresh cycle clothes are not dry
I got a community answer, but I would like an answer from a Samsung rep. I know that the refresh cycle releases water to the clothes. I am wondering why it is not dry by the end of the cycle. Isn't the whole point of it to add water and dry it so it "refreshes" the clothes or takes the wrinkles out? I am wondering if something is wrong with my dryer since the clothes do not come out completely dry during both steam cycles.
I am pretty darn sure the refresh cycle is for already dry clothes, you know you didnt get to folding them while they were warm last night and you want to have less wrinkles.
It is not a dry cycle, put rather a "redry" cycle
