I have had this washer for 2.5 months now and have been extremely satisfied with my purchase. We have 2 large dogs and a baby and everything we have washed gets extremely clean even without using Steam or Heavy Duty. The Normal wash cycle is only about 40 minutes long and you can add extra features to any wash cycle to customize it for you.
The true test of the washer was when we put a large canvas sleeping bag that we let the dogs sleep on in the washer. Before it was washed it smelled awful. After putting it through the Heavy Duty cycle it came out with no scent of dog whatsoever. With our old top loader that sleeping bag wouldn't even fit, and if it had, similar items (dog bedding) had to be washed at least 4-5 times before they smelled or looked clean. My husband does a lot of outdoor activities and I used to spend a lot of time washing his clothes at least twice to make them smell clean. Even though the wash cycles are longer on this machine it saves me time not having to wash things 2 or 3 times to get them looking and smelling clean.
I think that other reviewers who are having problems with their cycle length may have problems with the water supply not filling up the washer properly. Also, due to some of the comments about poor Samsung customer service I went ahead and purchased the Best Buy Extended Warranty Plan so that I don't have to go through Samsung.
