Client Reviews
I had been looking for a large capacity front loading washer for a although and chose the Samsung four.3 cu. ft. Front Load Washer with PowerFoam Technologies Steam VRT Plus for the reason that of these qualities:
- one of the larger capacity washers offered at the time (this model is 4.3 cu. ft and the largest on the market place appears to be 4.5 cu. ft)
- sanitizing cycle
- ratio of price tag to high quality appeared favorable (I also considered the Whirlpool Duet, Electrolux, Bosch and LG models)
I currently had owned a Frigidaire Gallery front loading machine for ten years so I was accustomed to a washer not employing as substantially water as conventional leading loading machines, but it was rather modest (barely three.3 cu. ft, I consider) and it had come to a point exactly where I was tired of washing my bedding and rugs at a laundromat. In particular, what occurred was that I rescued two cats and one of them, how shall I say this, is very picky about the state of his litter box. So if the litter box is even marginally wet, he choses to do his business enterprise on a nearby bathroom rug. As a result, I required a washer that could sanitize and wash odious male cat urine smells from my rugs. I find that because I purchased this larger capacity washer, I am much more apt to wash my bedding far more often, also, given that it is alot more handy than going to a laundromat and possibly even much less highly-priced over the long term. Additional, there are a plethora of cycles to select from, which includes 1 known as "eco cold."
I would say I am fairly pleased with the machine, but you might want to give some thought to the following:
- The typical cycle is 1 hour lengthy. My greatest concern is that the heavy duty, bedding and sanitizing cycles are fairly long - upwards of two hours.
- You can't leave the completed wash in the machine for pretty long (much less than 4 hours, I would say) otherwise, it will develop a mild mildew smell. I did not have this dilemma with my prior front loader. Coupled with the somewhat longer washing cycles, carrying out a single load of laundry takes alot more organizing to make positive that I will be there to transfer the wash to the dryer. From time to time this suggests I have to re-wash the clothes to get rid of that mildew smell.
- This concern is somewhat alleviated by getting a "swift wash" cycle - about 25 minutes.
- One particular downfall is that quite a few of the wash cycles have commensurately pre-determined water temperature settings. Luckily, the "fast wash" is hot wash/cold rinse. I would significantly prefer to establish what temperature in which to wash my clothes and interestingly, the usual cycle will not wash in hot water, but warm. Possibly these settings are associated to an energy efficiency rating. Hot water is not fairly environmentally friendly.
- Various front loading machines need that you preserve the front door open. Although recommended, I do not constantly bear in mind to do this and I have not found that leaving the door closed between cycles has contributed to mildew odors in the interior.
- A handful of instances the machine has stopped mid-cycle mainly because my electrical plug was tripped. The resolution is to reset the electrical plug. Once more, this becomes an issue given that the hot wash cycles can be really extended and can have an effect on your scheduling because inevitably I don't notice the machine isn't on for a while.
- These washers are larger in dimensions than what you may possibly have had in the identical space. It could appear obvious if you are seeking for a massive capacity washer, but I did not basically measure the space in my laundry area prior to it's installation and I was lucky that the space could accommodate the bulkier and taller profile. I did not invest in the pedestals mainly because I have a tendency to use the leading of the appliances on which to retailer items.
I also bought the machine to wash my added substantial cotton rugs (five x 7) from IKEA. I have not however accomplished this however as I feel I have to have to contact the manufacturer to see how considerably weight the machine will hold (there is a weight sensing function at the beginning of just about every cycle). I am concerned about exceeding the suggestions simply because the machine will not open if it is compromised. This function is somewhat typical on most late model front loading machines and it is something to be conscious of if you need to have to open the machine mid-cycle. This can in most cases be solved by pushing the "pause" button.
Overall, I would say this is a excellent appliance for the particular causes that I outlined earlier and there is fine reason to pick this model over other individuals.
I rarely write reviews, but I had to comment on this machine! We purchased the washer and matching dryer with the pedestals, and I have to say, these machines have saved us hundreds of dollars in water consumption. The old machine used 50 plus gallons for a super wash, and this machine utilizes eight - 13 gallons for a wash load that is a lot more than twice the size of our old washer! Also, our electric and gas bill went down, for the reason that the washer spins the water out of the clothes so efficiently that the dryer in most cases dries the load in less than an hour! The dryer even washes! I haven't had to go to the dry cleaner considering that we got this machine. One other plus is you don't have to have stain remover, the washer has a deep steam function that gets out nearly everything, and a pure cycle function that cleans the washer to get out any residue soon after 40 washes with no need to have for chemical compounds or additional expense. The wash loads do take much more time, but you are washing the equivalent of 2 wash loads in an average washer, in just a single load in the wf511, so you are in reality saving time, water and power. It is impressive how much this machine washes, and how well with the assist of its foam function! Saying nothing for the sanitization function, it is great to know that my kid's clothes are disinfected. I would also like to reccomend the pedestals which definitely make life simple, they are the excellent height, and they store a lot. These machines are the epitome of efficiency in every way, and they are super quiet! My only regret is not obtaining this pair sooner!
If you want to hit the trifecta, purchase a steam cleaner for your floors, they will sanitize your floors on half a cup of water for the average sized floor! I use just about 3 cups of water to wash over two,000 sqft of flooring from tile to wood to carpet! Talk about water savings!
