Wash more clothes at once with this high-efficiency washer. The delay-start function will start a load at the time you designate, freeing up your schedule to do other tasks. Samsung's exclusive Vibration Reduction Technology (VRT) dramatically reduces vibration and noise commonly associated with front-load washers.

When my 10 year old Maytag gave up, I researched online until I was blue in the face. It came down to Samsung or LG for me. My gut said go with the Samsung and I'm happy with my choice. (I don't think the LG comparable model had a "spin only" cycle which I occasionally need.) I don't have a large family, but with 2 toddlers we do lots of loads each week. 4.5 cu. ft. is not too big. I'd recommend to buy the largest capacity you can afford if you're doing wash for more than 1 or 2 people. I also bought the matching Samsung Steam Dryer, love it too.
What's great about it: Huge inside, easy to start, "spin only" and "delay" cycles are great.
What's not so great: It's in my basement and I can't look at it all the time.
