Great machine

published

Cleans clothes perfectly and very easy to use. Never had a problem with this machine. Clothes come out perfectly clean, does not leave too much moisture behind. This is also a quiet machine and not noisy at all even with large heavy loads in it. Would highly recommend this machine.

Will go back to front loader

published

We have always had a front loader washing machine. But with what seemed to be improved or better technology featured in a lot of the top loader machines we decided to give it a go. The Samsung 8 kilo machine seemed like a good top loader to start with. It works fine but we believe front loaders wash better just takes a bit longer.

absolutely love it!!!!!!!

published

i had a front loader, but the door fell off, so i thought i would try a top loader,
i am so glad that i did!!!! i absolutely love it. easy to use, hardly ever needs cleaning, just a wipe over with a damp cloth, as opposed to a front loader, always getting dirty in nooks and crannies.
smooth operating, cleans clothes to perfection, and i am fussy!!!!
great selection of cycles, and water heights etc. all together a fab buy and worth every cent.

Adequate quality given the brand and price.

published

Works reliably and consistently without issues. Quick wash cycle is also effective, but other wash cycles take quite a long time to complete. Drying is not very effective, but works adequately. Water use is quite economical. Overall, this product is recommended given the price compared to other brands – very satisfied.

Great top loading washing machine

published

Cleans clothes very well, does not wear-out clothes. I think it cleans clothes very evenly and thoroughly.
I like its ability to self-diagnose problems with Smart Check.
Using the dial and led display I can select one of ten different wash programs and easily adjust each cycle's options to suit my laundry load.
It has even got separate washing cycle for bedding. I like that a lot.

Excellent machine

published

Cleans clothes well, is reasonably quite. Clothes come out well rinsed. I like the tune it plays at the end when finished rinsing. Has auto water level or manual. You can open when washing and picks up from where it left off. Overall I am very happy with the Washing machine.

No frills (by today's standard) but very user friendly

published

Took delivery of the Samsung washer and it has been working like a charm for the past 9 months.
Very silent and easy to install and it washes clean.
My wife is very happy with the washer that is top loading and has a view of the wash (as it happens)
Setting are easy to understand and the biggest plus is it is easy to set up-no fuss at all.
The last machine we had was a like LG washer but the parts fell off easily with a couple of years but this one is sturdy.

Quite good, working as it should

published

It is overall quite quiet. I put in all the beddings and it keeps running smoothly.
Heavy load or light load makes no differences. However, for heavily dirt, it is not as effective. Stains remain if after water saving mode run.
I like it overall and would recommend others to buy.

Must own one!!!

published

It has been a year that this product does the wonder, Still in love with its performance -cleans and rinses beautifully without wearing out and left over soap on clothes. It does all around the job, can leave alone and work by itself by timer. Safe and quite big thing! Child lock, Timer/Delay, Extra rinse are my favs features!!

not a problem,quite impressed so far

published

purchased from harvey norman early january 17.After our old hoover finally died we found this washer to tick all the boxes we wanted,it washes well,is very quiet,has many wash cycles and options.It does not tangle washing any more or less then other washers,it has a musical chime at end of cycle which we find helpfull but it can be turned off if required,having paid less for this washer than our 18yr old hoover is seems great value for money although we dont expect it to last as long.the manual could be a lot clearer but you can also download a full manual online.we find the wash is good and the 720 spin speed dries to our expectations.all in all if the washer continues to trouble free i can recommend this washer.time will tell.

Clothes left very clean

published

Pros - cleans the clothes very well
- doesn't seem to wear out the clothes at all
- plenty of Cycles to choose from

Cons - if you do your washing late at night, it has a very annoying tune when it finishes

all in all, a very good machine and well worth the price

Update after exactly One Year: No additional comment, the machine is still great with no down sides, for us at least.

pretty good for a family of 4

published

the machine is pretty good for a family of 4. Doesn't make too much of noise and really liked some of the pre set freatures for washing. Also liked the self cleaning tub feature which keeps the machine nice and clean. only trouble is setting the wash time which would help to shorten some washes.

Re lint filter

published

Filter is broken by itself after 1year

published

I bought this machine nov of 2014.

Filter is broken today only because of quality of the Plastic. It was shockingly weak and very cheap toy plastic quality.

I should buy LG or any other brand but Samsung. Just rubbish, The small plastic filter gonna cost me another $35. No, Don't buy this.

Probably would not purchase again

published

We had the samsung model that was catching on fire... got the all clear and then it died. We decided to purchase this model. It has been good- clothes are washed, rinsed and spun really well and it has good options. But, within 3 months of purchase we had to have a sensor and panel replaced as it had an error and would not work. Samsung were OK about it- they organised repair, but in 3 weeks. It was a 30 min job. A week, week and a half ok, but 3 was a little too long to go without washing clothes. Since it has been fixed, it has been great. I have only noticed it is not draining all of the fabric softener or washing liquid out of the drawer... and yes I put the right amount in.

Harsh and linty

published

Bought this as I thought it would be easier on clothes than a standard agitator top loader. It's has wrecked most of our towels (they're all frayed and ripped!?!). Everything is constantly covered in lint, despite cleaning the filter before EVERY load. And it doesn't clean especially well either.

Only positives is its relatively quiet and it looks ok. Not really the main features I need in a washing machine.

WA80F5G4DJW (8kg)

Bought this model 3 years ago and for the last year dirt, residue and lint has been seeping onto clothes after every wash. We have cleaned magic filter after every use, completed multiple tub clean cycles and scrubbed internally to no avail. Are there any other ways to clean the machine?

Hi my machine is about 3 years old now and seems to do its own thing during the rinse and spin cycle. It literally seems to reset and start the spin cycle as often as it likes. I noticed that the washing was taking longer and took special notice and it just keeps stopping and spinning and resetting the time each time. What is going on?! Help!
