Pros: Extremely quiet, cold water sanitization, ultra speed spin, low water/energy consumption, easy to use Cons: Some cycles are long, not as big capacity or as efficient as some competitors
We have been on an eco rampage, and reviewing our consumption of energy and water. Of course this has to do with rising energy prices, but also in our municipality we receive 2 water tax bills based on consumption. Our last bill showed that we ...
Pros: Uses way less water Dries so well needs less dryer time SilverCare
Cons: Water puddles inside door gasket Condensation on door drips when open Pathetic user manual
I purchased this Samsung Silver Care series Washer in July 2008. Silver care shoots silver ions throughout your wash to get rid of something like 99.7% of germs...and it does this using COLD water. (You can turn silver on or off depending on what type ...
Pros: Quiet, sanitize in cold water, auto-balancing. Excellent perceived quality. Cons: Expensive, long cycles in sanitize (heated water) or silver-care cycle. Can exceed 2 hours.
We just purchased the Samsung Silver care W & D. The Washer is magnificent. Being an Electronic Technician with a strong mechanical background, we did lots of research but couldn't find a lot of information on Samsung Washers. The main reason we bought ...
Pros: Quiet, fast drying, water savers, NO extreme vibration Cons: I want a little light in the washer so I can watch it work (smile)
My wife and I purchased this washing machine and matching electric dryer in January, 2008. My son had a set of Kenmore front loaders (same models as Whirlpool, Kitchen Aid. All made by Whirlpool) and he had advised me of the "Walking Washer" syndrome ...
Pros: VRT, quiet, low soap/bleach use, Silvercare, Great customer support Cons: Signal at end not loud enough
I researched front-load washers thoroughly before selecting this model, primarily based on the reviews I saw here. I will say that I'm thrilled with my purchase. The washer is on a wood floor on the second floor of our home and the VRT ...
Pros: Cleans well. Spin dries very well. Very Quiet Cons: Unclear Instructions. Limited capacity. end-of-cycle signal too quiet to hear on loudest setting.
After reading 9 favorable reviews on the WF337 AAL I purchased one at Sears. I was wary of the other front loaders because they were having problems with wearing out when they were not sitting on a concrete basement floor. I reenforced my washroom ...
Pros: Child lock out runs quietly big enough for king comforter no vibration Cons: none so far
This was my first front loading washer. I spent a lot of time reading the reviews on all the different brands and Samsung seemed to be the best all around washer. It was being installed on a second floor, so I had to take that into mind. It was ...
Pros: Clean clothes, Large capacity, water recycles Cons: A little pricey. But if it lasts than worth it.
We just bought this Samsung Front Load Washer and so far we love it. My clothes have been cleaner. I washed my comforter in it and the comforter was nice and clean and smelled wonderful. In the past we had purchased Kenmore/Whirlpool and had nothing ...
Pros: It will last a month. Cons: Everything after the first month!
When I first bought this washer, I was so excited and very impressed. It only took one month later to change my mind. After the first DAY, I had to replace the dryer, which Lowes immediately took care of. When the washer stopped working ...
Pros: quiet, efficient when it runs. Cons: pump clogs easily without a filter. locks clothes in when it cant drain messy to drain
pump keeps stalling creating a no drain code. If something as small as a bobby pin goes trough your wash, you have to pull the pump and dislodge it. 3rd time in 6 mos. and its getting tiresome. A filter would have been a good idea, but its not here. serious design flaw.
Pros: Super quiet, cleans your clothes as expected Cons: The initial cost
I've only had the washer two weeks, but so far it has work better than expected, especially when you take into consideration all the bad press some front load washer receive. This is by far the quietest washer I have ever owned, and I am guessing this would be #4.
Love it love it love it love it love it love it by efis ,May 19 '08
Pros: Quiet. Cleans clothes. Cuts down on drying time. Cons: I wish it was free but we did have to pay money for it.
Before we bought this washing machine I researched it to death. I read every review I could find and even the instruction manual. We bought it about eight months ago and we love it.
It's on the second floor of our house and I can't tell when it's running. No shaking or vibration at all thanks to the VRT. The dryer makes more noise than the washer.
The clothes come out very clean and MUCH dryer than our old tub washer which greatly reduces drying time. There are more washing modes than I will ever use. It has a custom mode you can program yourself.
We've thrown everything from a single shirt to a comforter in there and the machine has performed flawlessly.
Oh, and no mildew smell at all. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. The null set. None.
The choice of colors was nice. We got the dark gray color. We also got the matching pedestal.
Pros: Saves water, lessens wear and tear on clothing, uses less detergent Cons: Expensive, so look for a good sale!
I purchased this from Lowes in the navy color. It was a floor model and I got almost 40% off the original price and still got the full warranty. The best thing I love about this machine: it does not chew the life out of your clothes. The wash action is gentle, however it does the job.
Initially you might think there is not enough water going into the tub to do the job; this is by design; trust me, it is enough water.
It takes awhile to transition from an old fashion turn-the
knobs machine to an electronic version...but just read the instructions! Once you pick the cycles that you like, you can save them (you know like bookmarking your favorites on a computer).
The special detergent designed for these machines is great because you use less of it.
The sanitation cycle is a tad unnecessary unless you have a lot of people, animals, and or babies in your home. If you don't have to use it don't, it takes up too much time (and more electricity).
Don't buy an LG until you check out Samsung! by rottenfuhrer ,Jan 25 '08
Pros: Capacity, Noise level(or lack thereof), Cycle flexibility, Cold water sanitization w/ Silver Care feature Cons: None as of yet.
This unit replaced my 5 year old Maytag Neptune(MAH55000BW)
and it is magnificent. Considerable jump in capacity and a 500 r.p.m. increase in spin rate. The VRT(Vibration Reducing Technology) really works and the largest/heaviest loads are spun nearly dry with whisper quiet efficiency. There is a myriad of cycles from which to choose the the "My Cycle" feature is a Godsend when you are in a hurry it just punches up your most used cycle and fire away. The silver care feature may work I'm not sure yet however, all of the other attributes of this washer are definitely worth a look or a purchase. Buy one you will never look back.
Pros: Washer worked well for 6 weeks before breaking down Cons: Poor warranty service. Very poor. 48 hours to schedule a service call is unacceptable.
We purchased our washer/dryer set 6 weeks ago. After a week of camping, we found our washer would not work due to a sensor error. We called customer support on a Sat and were told that we would be contacted within 2 business days. You would think that we would receive a phone call scheduling a repair appointment within 1 business day. Monday has come and gone and my 3 kids and I hope we receive a call tomorrow. Samsung's service providers are very unresponsive to warranty calls.
Best Machines for main floor laundry by mr28 ,Aug 08 '07
Pros: Quiet, great cleaning, and efficient Cons: Nothing yet!
This is my 3rd set of front load machines. I am an upgrade aholic when it comes to appliances, and these by far are the BEST machines I have ever owned. Not only do they clean like the rest, but you can't hear them running! I don't have them on the pedestals so I can put a counter above them, but with my old machines I couldn't run them and watch TV they jumped and banged so badly. With these I ran 5 loads of laundry one day and my husband never even knew the machines were on. I would recommend these machines to ANYONE with a main floor laundry. I don't know about the service factor yet, but hope to not have to cross that bridge. I purchased these from Best Buy and thought the service there was wonderful, it surprised me they had appliances, I would never shop the old dinosaurs again
Pros: Stackable, size is big, and controls are handy Cons: quality and computer are sub standard...junk...leaks for the third time
to be short, our computer went out and has had to be replaced 6 times, not under warrenty, but samsung repaired it because the warrenty had "just" expired! Now it is doing the same thing, and i'm going to call them, tell them about it, and go buy something diffrent! avoid these washers, the dryer is great, but since I have them stacked, I have to buy a new set! I will find something made in america this time, since the quality is far below my standards! a washer should last 20 years, not 20 months! Oh, and this is the third time I have had a leak! Flimsy plastic parts...
Pros: good price, design quiet washes well lacks "extra water" button Cons: 1 year warranty lack of quality control no history yet
If Chrysler or FIAT were making washing machines that would be it (maximum visual design, not much engineering) Nice looking machine. Although not sure about quality control at Samsung (although the one I bought in Canada is made in Korea). Mine new one has cold water input valve badly leaking: about 100ml of water per night on the floor and roughly the same amount in those 30 sec it's filling the water up. Which means they havn't tested the machine with water... (Kenmore dishwasher I got came all wet inside although). And without water all they could check is that it turns on and drum spins... Car-like paint is easy to scratch (imagine putting all those baskets for years on the hood of your new KIA) Plastic covering hatches is cheap and should be placed a bit inside the door like on other machines
Pros: Quiet, fast, easy to use, great color options. Cons: None comes to mind - really!
We purchased this washer (and the matching dryer) when we bought our new home this past summer. We bought red, thinking we'd add some color to our laundry room and love the vibrant shade! The washer is so quiet, we rarely hear anything when the cycle is on, and my husband and I are both very very impressed with how well the spin cycle gets rid of excess water, which saves time and money when drying our clothes. The silver care option is neat, though we only use it when we feel we really need to sanitize something. It's good on water and the child lock comes in handy with a toddler. Overall, we are very satisfied with the washer and would recommend it to anyone looking for something efficient and pretty.
