it was worth the gamble

published

it was a bit of a gamble buying a samsung washing machine as samsung is not known as a washing machine maker. i did some research and this seemed to be a decent one. i have this machine now for 5 years and it still works like new. the noise is a bit quiter than the fisher paykel it replaced. it is gentle enough on clothes and they all come out clean. a bit of wear on the bottons but they are still very functional. im happy with the purchase its already been trouble free for 5 years. il see if i can get another 5 years out of it.

Best washing machine I ever had!

published

Very easy to use. It has many options for the washing cycles and washing the clothes clean as I’m very happy with the difference loads to high wash to low wash if I need to pause it I can add more clothes and change the water levels.

realiable

published

We moved into a new place recently and were looking for a washing machine that could be used everyday. I purchased this top loader from Good Guys and been using it daily, sometimes twice a day for the last year with no issues thus far, the electricity consumption could be a bit better but still a good reliable product

Happy With This Washer

published

We really like this machine! - funny thing to say about a washing machine but it does an excellent job with the clothes and looks good in the laundry too. I like the glass top and the washing action is not too harsh on out clothes. We had an old Fisher And Paykel before this that had the impeller in the centre - it just ruined clothes by stretching out seams and making holes in them so this is a massive relief. It has never let us down and I would be happy to buy the exact same model if we had to replace it.

Great Clever Machine

published

We wanted this washer (well my wife did) for ages before we actually bought it. We were put off for a while when Samsung went through its phase of bad reliability. That was resolved and we went ahead and bought this. It washes beautifully and has lots of clever washing options. Its so quiet I have to check that its on sometimes and looks nice in the laundry. A good choice and we are very happy with it.

Love It Great Washer

published

We really enjoy this Samsung washer. I love the see through top and it does a really excellent job of cleaning. It's quiet when it runs even during the spin cycle and makes a pleasant tune when its done. Water use is not bad for its size. It can also do very small loads if required and I often do just that. No problems of any kind and I hope it will keep running fo years to come

Good machine

published

I use this machine a lot and it has been pretty realiable. I have only had it break down once when one of the small hoses came off. Luckily it was easy to fix. Really like the magic filters, they are fairly easy to clean. Would recommend this machine .

Great washer

published

Bought this washer about a year ago and it is still going very strong. I have a family of 4 and we shove quite a lot in there and it handles it perfectly fine. I don't notice tooo much sound from it and does a great job cleaning the clothes a lot better than my old one. There's heaps of features to play around with too

Takes more clothes than you think!

published

This is a very good washing machine. We originally had another Samsung machine that actually broke, but they replaced it under warranty with this model. Very nice looking model as well with stainless steel, but the bit I like is that even though it is advertised as 8.5kg, I feel like it holds way more. We can fit quite a lot in this machine, and the cleaning quality isn't diminished at all.

Big and good for family

published

Good and strong for family of 4 and over. Clothes come out fine. Good still after 2 years now using it. Sometime the business shirts and scarfs will caught up together a bit trouble. But overall it's one of our best since. If left the machine closed and still moist can cause a damp smell and you shouldn't leave you clothes in there too long it smell.

Works good

published

This is a very good machine. I have had no problem with it cleaning our family clothes. We have had no wear-out or and tearing of our clothes. We have our laundry inside the house, so it is very important that my machine is quiet. And machine is. I can preset it the night before and wake up to my washing ready to be put out the next morning and it has not disrupted myself or my family sleeping. My favourite feature it the preset. I can set it the night before and have it ready to hang out the next morning. Simple and easy.

Great Machine

published

It is the best washing machine I have ever had and I've had quite a few. Cleans beautifully, fairly quiet, brilliant lint trap, very efficient water wise. You can use powder and it premixes it for you. Lovely little jingle when its finished. We've had it for about 6 months now and couldn't recommend it more highly.

Was wary of the exploding Samsung story, but nothing to worry about

published

Got this machine cheap while they were clearing out their stocks to try and salvage their industry name during the exploding washer saga. The machine is mint, water efficient and cleans well. Is not the quietest machine going and can knock around a little, but after all it is agitating (usually) a huge swash of clothes. Haven't had a single issue and the bills have dropped a lot from the old machine.

Received after the recall and LOVE it.

published

Perfect for big families and big heavy loads.
Super quiet and plays a delightful song when it finishes
Easy to clean and use.
So many excellent options depending on what you want to wash.
Love the glass top to see what’s going on inside the machine and can lift the lid to add the sock you forgot without stopping the cycle.

Works fine for me.

published

It does a good work in cleaning and rinsing my daily clothes. I haven't noticed any problem related to tear-out of cloth. It is significantly quiet than many of the washing machine. The custom feature is my favourite feature. Decent washing machine which can be used for daily cloth cleaning.
