This is perfect for me i just love it.it works really good.

published

It cleans my clothes just as i want. This is not so much loud. I love the child lock feature a lot because my kid always try to touch it and change the functions. It's very powerful. Oh yes i forgot its main feature because of which i bought it is that it don't tangle clothes.tangled clothes are really annoying thanks to Samsung they solved my problem.

Another piece of Samsung rubbish

published

Will this one break down just outside the stated warranty period. If it does do not expect Samsung to assist you. Will it catch on fire? Choose another brand for piece of mind. Do not expect them to be helpful or cheery. Can provide examples to individuals if you pm your number. Buy any brand but Samstung!!!!!!!

Big and Quiet

published

I have only had this machine for two weeks. It is the replacement for the recall.
What I can tell you is the bowl is big and you can fit a lot in. I would like it to spin just a bit better, so the cloths have less water in them, but it is still OK. Very easy to use, but it is deep, so if your short, you may have trouble reaching to the bottom of the machine. It is also very quiet. My only complaint so far, is the outlet for the water is on the side. So while you may stand there and measure in the shop, you will need to take into account the pipe sticking out on the left side, once it is fitted. Its also on the wrong side for my sink, but the pipe does reach the outlet.

Nice and compact .

published

Machine works well, occasionally it comes up with an error code but is easily reset . We are very happy with it and simple to use . The lint filter work really well so it should be cleaned after every wash which is again very easy to do .

Thanks to reviews here i made a great decision

published

Ok, its been 3 months roughly. Great washing machine as i have a family of 10... lint must be checked all the time otherwise ive had no problems. You will need to have extra room as it is a big machine and you will need extra space for hose outlet. Clean and great wash everytime.... i do recommend this samsung washing machine... i shall do another review in 6-12months. Thanks

Great machine

published

I bought this as my old frontload washer needed replacing. It is very quiet compared to my old machine, washes well, and removes all that troublesome lint that usually remains on clothes at the end of the cycle. Have used the power wash with hot water once for very grubby jeans and they have never looked so clean. For lightly soiled clothes I just use the quick wash function with great results. Not having the agitator is a bonus as clothes don't get so tangled with each other as with other top loaders, and I find that the clothes come out relatively dry so require less line drying time. Am very satisfied with this purchase, but I did do my homework before purchasing.

Does a great job

published

Got this machine pretty well because my old one died and I needed a replacement 'now'. As it happened I found this one on the floor of a local store ready for delivery.

If I had had more time, I would have looked for one that was more energy-efficient. But apart from that, I couldn't be happier.

It has a glass top, allowing you to check what's happening without needing to lift the lid. And although it has a number of settings, the feature that I like and use most is its ability to weigh the load and select an appropriate time. It also has a little gizmo which catches lint and lets you know when its caught enough to need removing. Magic!

Rubbish machine worst one ever had

published

Tangles clothes like nothing else nearly ties shirt sleeves and pants legs together, on spin cycle is so easy to trip off on unbalance weather there is a full load or next to nothing in machine. On a positive note it does wash clothes pretty well .All the positive reviews I read prior to purchasing this machine must have been written by Samsung or by a rental crowd.

Very smart looking washing machine and it works a treat!

published

Cleans and rinses clothes very well.
Clothes come out in good condition with less lint than they went in, can tell by what is caught in the dual lint filters.
Makes the usual washing machine noises, I'm happy with that.
Favourite features, large drum, see through lid (kid's love it and I can see how well it is doing its job and where in the cycle it is up to).

Good top loading washing machine with large lint filters

published

Quite machine during washing cycle. Has 2 large lint filters which do a good job of catching the lint and easy to clean. It can handle a large load upto 8.5kg. Have mainly used the fuzzy (auto) wash feature which handles the water level automatically. Not sure how reliable it is, but so far it is a good top loader washing machine that I would recommend.

Ticks all the boxes

published

A really good washing machine. Had it for 7-8 months now and initially had concerns about the plastic lid but you can see what's going on inside, open the lid really wide to load and despite being plastic is very robust. Washes really well with a wide variety of wash/rinse options. It's important to ensure that the machine has all four supports on the floor and that it's level when setting it up initially (plenty of scope for any adjustments necessary). It's quiet, efficient, doesn't vibrate and washes the clothes well, very glad we bought it. Also plays Schubert when the cycle's finished.

Washes really well

published

I've had this machine now for over six months and really have no regrets at all. The look of the machine really attracted me when I first saw it, but I was hesitant as Samsung had been involved in a few house fires set off by their washing machines (turns out they were older models). Anyway, I am so glad I bought this machine. No faults to speak of - I noticed some of the other reviewers talking about the drain house coming from the side - but this is no issue for me. Washes clothes really well. A very quiet machine. No problems and so pleased I bought this. I bought it from Masters, and they provided excellent service - including free delivery.

Love it

published

I bought this machine a few months ago and it has been wonderful. It's quiet and washes beautifully. I love all the options. I love the look of it. I'm just in love love love. Fingers crossed.

Update
I have had this machine for over a year now. I still love it. The only negative thing I can say about it is that it tangles your clothes sometimes but its not really a problem. To fix this I put it on a gentle wash setting. Great washing machine!

Ok

published

Washes well but tangles sleeves and legs on tops and pj's, etc. also ties on shorts. Does not seem to rinse well on one rinse. Doesn't seem to wear out clothes in the wash, so that's good! Fits lots of washing in so can wash quilts, etc. Apart from that ok to good.
