This is Samsung's new line of high-end front-loading laundry machine. Other than the new Electrolux EWFLS70JIW 27 five.1 cu. Ft. Front-Load Washer - Island White, it has the largest capacity among consumer-oriented washers. However, its external dimension is similar to other front-loaders, thus fitting quickly into regular laundry room space.
I bought this model to replace a 7-year-old Whirlpool : WFW9400SZ 27 Front Load Washer with four. cu. ft. Capacity White/Sapphire Blue, which went kaput when the plastic ring holding the front side of the steel drum in spot decayed away under normal usage. Understandably, I chose not to go with Whirlpool once again, considering that numerous of the Duet's plastic parts have not lasted the ten-15 years I expected from a key appliance. I am not certain how well this Samsung will compare, but I feel it is worth a try even at a relatively high cost since Consumer Reports likes this model.
Functionally, it is just about identical to the Duet. The significant exceptions are:
1. A substantially larger capacity
2. The capability to sense the load and adjust water usage automatically
three. The availability of steam wash.
The first two attributes are very good. The last one particular is questionable, as I think about high temperature a killer to most fabric, but steam appears the new trend in washers.
I bought it from BestBuy. The installers rushed through the job and failed to apply Teflon tape when connecting the hose, major to a leak that ruined the wall, the difficult-wood floor and the basement ceiling tiles. I ought to have supervised the installation personally. Today, it is unwise to assume professionalism in individuals a single does not know well.
The adhere to-up with BestBuy's client service has been hellish. The corporate consumer relation individuals are nice and polite, but just about every time they attempt to hand me off to the neighborhood installation division I get a total disconnect, actually, as in becoming hanged up on. So, after even more than a dozen phone calls and a variety of hours on the telephone, resolution is still in the air.
The agitator on our 90's base-model Kenmore broke just after about 12+ years of use. I couldn't justify the price of replacing the components to get it operating again. We exhausted our study and came across all of the negative evaluations on the high-efficiency concerns of washers on the market place as of 2011. People today were complaining about much less water, much less clean clothes, less hot water, smell of mildew with front loaders, wash time, and so on. I created thoughts to obtain for the most inefficient leading-load washer I could uncover to mirror what we had. We were leaning on the top rated-loaders that filled 50% with water, but we were swayed by this Samsung when we saw an open-box unit selling for $620 at a large-box store. The previous ownerreturned it simply because of a minor scratch.
We are delighted they returned it! We got a great performing machine and haven't seasoned any of the reported issues most consumer evaluations scream about via the internet. Complainers resonate the loudest to you when it comes to a big-ticket item obtain. We overlooked the naysayers and dived-in. Not only did the open-box sale price push us into this 2011 top-of-line model. The allergy certification swayed us heavily mainly because our 4yo has main allergies (mites, pets, and so on). The sanitizer solution is great!
When compared to our base-model 90's washer, this issue is wonderful! It is super quiet during the wash cycle. The only time we honestly hear it is for the duration of the spin cycle. When you use the extreme spin-cycle setting it whines-up like a turbo engine, but it sounds cool to me. I dig it! When it's performed, it makes a silly musical jingle...we no longer get the finish-game buzzer sound. The washer sounds so pleased that it completed one more load for us.
Our clothes come out clean. They smell fresh. They are warm immediately after the wash. The water-temp naysayers should certainly alter their hot-water tank setting. My wife's nursing uniforms no longer have lent-balls on them right after a wash. The dryer filter is finding less lent as well. We tossed half of the property into this point the very first week. It got stains out of our white living-space pillows that we just couldn't take away with the other washer. My son's bedding and other items were all sanitized. The washes do not take also extended. Frequently 40-60 mins beneath a heavy usual-wash load and two hours with the sanitize alternative. We can get other people things done although its underway - why are many people complaining about the time of a washer? Go watch a game although its on!
We leave the washer door cracked to air-dry. When a week I'll clean the rubber seal to avoid any mildew smell. A little pro-active cleaning and maintenance goes a lengthy way.
When you use the sanitizer be cautious of your kid's teddy-bears. 1 furry tiny puppy teddy-bear hitched a ride on a load by mistake. He came out looking like a bald Chihuahua. We might possibly require to comb it for a week to get the hair fluffy once more! Put your decorative pillows on delicates not sanitize - you could see some fraying from the seams. Yes, I went overboard cleansing our linens after we bought it!
If you order it from a major-box retailer, be certain to make observe and assessment the installers function. Our installers stripped the plastic hot-water connection with a rushed job.
If you can come across this unit as an open-box then leap on it. I believe you will be Rather pleased with the deal and quality of cleaning you get you of this machine. If you buy 1 at full retail cost you must nevertheless be pleased with the results. Hopefully we will not knowledge any mechanical or laptop or computer challenges in the future, but to date we're pretty pleased with our obtain. Now if only I could park a automobile in this thing to clean exactly where the kids sit...
