I can't believe how well clothes wash, but best of all they come out of machine and dry so much quicker. I can even control length of wash rinse spin.

This is a solid washing machine which I have used frequently for a number of years. I like the simple display and various wash settings. One thing I have noticed is that it can be a little rough on my clothes. In fact, when I notice a little hole in my underwear and I want to throw them away but feel guilty because it isn't quite bad enough yet, I throw it into the washing machine knowing it will tear it up a little bit! I use wash bags to keep my more delicate clothes safe (which you should do with any washing machine). The energy and water ratings are also poor. It is a reliable machine though so I'm giving it 3 stars.

I purchased this 8kilo top loader in 2008, has been used least once a week, its now May 2017, been a great washing machine, only hurdle was the lid magnet fell off, assuming it went through the pump, used a small strong magnet & waved it over the mother board until error went away and it started washing, then glue it down .( Shellys Super Glue), Lets see if I can get another 9 years from it, Tip, always clean lint filter after every wash,!! great machine
washes clothes excellent
not noisy
the chime to tell me the load is done, and how dry it spins the clothes. Been a great machine!!!!

Works well, I've had 2 things happen it the last year or two in regard to this machine.
1. The magnetic part on the lid eroded so I replaced it myself with a cupboard magnet but it had to be placed at the front of the machines power board on right hand side and works perfectly fine now.
2. i.e kept coming up on the screen and the spin cycle wouldn't work so I switched it off and took the power cord out of power socket left it for 5 days unplugged and on the fifth day plugged it in and viola' it reset itself and works perfectly fine again. Here's to hopefully a few more good years with this machine I've had it for 8 so she's doing well.

We have the exact same problem as Trevor McCarroll with the magnet which tells the machine the lid is closed so will not continue with the wash cycle. The machine thinks lid is open and won't work. We have replaced the lid (and therefore the magnet) but this did not help and we can't get the to the control panel because the screws are now rusted. We have already had to replace the control board once for the start switch that had stopped working in 2012 so are very disappointed

Owned from new for 5 years. Hasn't skipped a beat, huge wash programme selection, great size drum, would definitely buy again. I see a lot of people have had issues with Samsung products, but that is not my experience.

This is a very good machine - I had trouble with it not running but connected cold water inlet to both hot and cold connections on the machine and run the machine on cold&hot combination which works perfectly (cold water only of course). I am using it in my caravan as it's light and compact
very quiet and washes well without tangling
wouldn't run at all

Fine to begin with. But the magnet which tells the machine the lid is closed is exposed to splashing and so rusts. The machine then thinks lid is open and won't work. You can't buy a replacement magnet. The screws holding the control panel to the body of the machine are plain steel and also subject to splashing - they rust so much they can't be undone

I have had my 8 kg Samsung for around 4 years, and bought it after reading the great reviews on a product site.
Best decision I ever made!! 4 years later I have had no problems at all, it washes like a dream, has the best lint filter, never gets unbalanced and washes and spins clothes, towels and blankets perfectly and still looks like new..

I am here again trying to find a second hand one for my daughter..
The BEST lint filter, perfectly spins everytime, and washes so well.
Nothing, ziltch zip. The only problem is I cant find a second hand one for my daughter.

The price of this machine was the highlight of it, and living in a share house at the time, it wasn't a bad option. However after only a few years of use the plastic on the machine has turned into a going off yellow colour and the machine started to squeak during the cycle as well. I don't think this machine would have lasted to many more months and I would never bother spending any money to repair this. I'm happy to have replaced it with a Bosch now and would never consider Samsung for white goods again.
Cheap, the catchy Song it plays, Turbo Dry Function.
Cheaply made plastic, poor lifespan.

my Top Load 7.5kg Washing Capacity (SW75USP) it stopped taking cold water in after 3 years (got it in Sep. 2008) and had it repaired with a new panel ($300+). Now the same problem has happen again (1 ½ years later) not worth fixing again, thinks I'm getting a front loader this time. This machine only lasted 4 ½ years. Saying that I’ve been happy with its washing performance.

Bought the machine in mid 2010. Had to get it serviced in early 2012. And then again at Easter 2013. It had a faulty water valve, main board neede replacement and there was a continuous small water leak It was used once a day mainly for small loads. Because it was Easter, we had it repaired but the technician was not very encouraging. The next time it has a problem it will be replaced with a new LG or Simpson, both of which have given good service in the past.
It has a nice version of 'the Happy Plowboy" as a notifying sound.
Expensive maintenace

We bought this machine (sw50usp) after our Electrolux one packed it in after 10 years we never had any probs with it and should of stuck with the brand we trusted. This machine leaks we cannot find out where and when I rang help line we were told it was because we hadn't put pipes on tightly and hung up on.

The leak wasn't that big of an issue only slight and water went straight down the drain now we have moved and laundry is in kitchen so no drain and no slope on the floor so have to pull the machine out everday and dry the floor. Now the cold water inlet valve has gone. Every now and then the machine fills up with water for no reason.

Cheap and nasty.

I bought the 8kg model, it is easy to use. I had a 5.5kg so this one fits so much more! I wasn't sure about not having an agitator, but as long as I tie up any cords, the clothes don't get too tangled. I have 2 dogs and I find that the magic filter does trap a lot of lint, but not much of their hair.
I can fit so much in it
Not collecting the pet hair

I am very happy with the machine,however im not happy with the lid it is cheap rubbish plastic and keeps breaking, i have had the lid replaced at least 12 times over the 3 years i have had the machine
i will not be buying an another samsung washing machine ever due to this problem

Cheap rubbish plastic lid
