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.

BEST Washer on market-silver care technology & VRT
on August 20, 2009
Posted by: MsMaddog
from Boulder City, NV
I did extensive research before purchasing a new washer and dryer and I am SO glad I decided on the Samsung pair. Washing clothes is actually seamless now and my clothes are really really clean (didn't realize how dirty they were before). I can wash throw pillows, comforters, even delicate nylons and bras, and the washer is gentle on them and gets them clean. The KEY difference with the Samsung pair is the Silver Care technology. This is a cold water ionic cleaning that really removes stains from your clothes without the need for bleach, chemicals or stain removers. No other brand has Silver Care and this is a huge benefit that I wonder if most owners are taking advantage of (you have to add it to a cycle and it does extend the time by about 20 minutes which some people may not take the time to do---but very worth it). I use silver care on almost every load I do, much more than I opt for the deep steam component.
When I was doing the research into steam washers and dryers, it was confusing at first because everyone has good and bad experiences with all the brands out there. There are pros and cons about each. Some sets have a steam dryer only and not a steam washer, while others are revearsed and have steam for only the washer. For those out there wondering why steam, here you go: The steam washer component is a very hot deep cleaning cycle that is meant to better remove stains but should not be used for the delicate items. I use it mostly with whites along with the silver care, but I find that the Silver Care (only available on the Samsungs) is a much more effective stain remover and because it is cold water can be used on all types of clothing. The steam dryer is a totally different thing-it is used to steam your clothes and get wrinkles out. I use this occasionally and I like it, but I am suprised at how little I actually use it. It is nice to have the times when you do need it.
In summary, I am very happy with my Samsung set and would highly recommend them. I can now get all of our family laundry done by noon once a week when I used to be washing clothes all day long every other day it seemed. The Samsungs make it easy to just throw the larger loads in there and walk away. The only downside is that it does take longer to wash the clothes, especially when you add the Silver Care or steam cycles. But I have found that my clothes are much cleaner and I can do larger loads so it actually takes me less time overall. Plus, the washer is so effective in spinning the clothes (and quiet too) that the drying time is much shorter. I love that the dryer senses the time needed and shuts off early so as not to over heat and shrink your clothes! One last comment on the noise factor....this washer is so quiet I have it next to my young son's room so even if he is taking a nap it does not wake him or bother him. Happy shopping to all out there like me who are doing your research and looking for the best bang for your buck...which I found at Best Buy in store, as they not only matched all others best prices but combined deals so that I ended up saving about $700 off retail (better than any internet price) for set including the pedestals. Best Buy has a lifetime customer in me.
What's great about it: Silver Care, VRT, clothes are actually clean; chemical free stain removal
What's not so great: High price but worth it for the ease of use and effectiveness
I would recommend this to a friend!
