Great for kids!

How Often Used:3-5 times a week
The woman at Best Buy recommended these to us for my daughter who is 7. They are much better than the ones that go inside the ear for her, which were always too big and uncomfortable. They sound great and they are comfortable. Great addition to her new iPod!
What's great about it: Better for kids than the earphones that go in their ears.
What's not so great: Nothing.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Disney Epic Mickey is an action-adventure platforming game for the Wii console that sends Mickey Mouse on an epic journey of creativity and discovery. As Mickey, the player is propelled into Wasteland, an alternate world made up of Disney's forgotten creative efforts, and is given the power to wield paint and paint thinner to dynamically change the world while determining Mickey's path to becoming an epic hero.Through the use of unique paint and paint thinner, the key components of animation and Mickey's tools for impacting his world, players will have the ability to shape how the story unfolds as they discover the concept of "Playstyle Matters" ~ an innovative style of gameplay created by Disney Interactive Studios' Junction Point, led by industry luminary Warren Spector, where players creatively tackle different challenges in the world to explore all the possibilities and storylines ~ but with consequences for their chosen actions.

Had trouble loading, is a bit hard for my kids
on January 18, 2012
Posted by: 1FrugalMama

This got such great reviews, I almost bought it last year for $50. Glad I waited until it came down this Christmas. It proves to be too complicated for my 7 year old and even my 12 year old gets bogged down in parts! I thought it would be one of their favorites, but it just sits with the other games that are too hard or too easy for them. At first, it wouldn't even load and kept telling us to update our system. When we did it several times, it finally loaded. Unfortunately, we were disappointed in the game.
What's great about it: The graphics are really cool, but that is all it offers.
What's not so great: It is too complicated to play!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Are you sick of your day-to-day routine? Your parents badger you to take out the garbage, do your homework and clean your room. Ugh. Your sister bosses you around and dominates table talk with girly gossip. Yuck. Your teachers drone on and on about long-division-this and King-Henry-that. Yawn. You need some spark in your life, you need a high-flying adventure, you need ~ spaceships, surfboards and a secret-agent platypus? Phineas and Ferb are taking over your boring life and pulling you into their zany, mischievous adventures. Are you crafty enough to pull off exciting schemes, brave enough to race super-fast vehicles and cunning enough to become a double agent? When you're joining Phineas and Ferb, you sure better be.Return to Danville for more tricky challenges and plots in Disney Phineas and Ferb: Ride Again. This time, you'll build mine carts, spaceships, skateboards and more, and then prove their drivability on crazy race courses. Use cool gadgets, solve new puzzles and overcome obstacles as you explore four worlds with your favorite dynamic duo and their trusty sidekick, Perry. Go where even Phineas and Ferb can't go and adopt Perry's undercover alias, Agent P, to take on the evil Dr. Doofenshmirtz and save the day with your platypus powers. Pack your x-ray goggles and your jet pack ~ it looks like an all-new adventure just fell out of the clear blue sky.

7 year old loves it!

My 7 year old daughter is a big Phineas and Ferb fan, so I knew she would love this game. Some of the games based on movies or shows have been too complicated for her, but this one is better. It is just challenging enough to keep her engaged.
What's great about it: Easier than most based on movies/shows
What's not so great: The DS has been set aside for the iPod!

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.

Great water saver washer!
on June 13, 2010
Posted by: 1FrugalMama

I am very happy with my new front loading washer. It saves lots of water by sensing the size of each load and only adding as much water as is needed. I love the Silver Care setting for cold water. It gets all types of clothes and bedding and towels so clean. The spin works great too. The clothes are only slightly damp if I put it on high spin. It also saves on detergent. You need to buy the HE type, which does cost a bit more, but you only need a little bit. I recommend leaving the door open for about 20 minutes after you empty the load, as the water left on the door might smell musty if you don't do laundry everyday. It is also super quiet when it is on. I have mine on top of a "pedestal", so it is easier on the back.
What's great about it: Quiet, saves water, steams items really clean, Silver Care for cold works great!
What's not so great: Cycles are long, if you use extra wash, and prewash settings
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can it be stopped mid cycle to add additional clothes to the load?

Yes, there is a pause button. Then you just have to wait for the "locked" light to go off and you can safely open the door.

stain removal

One of the things that I don't like about my current kenmore front loader is that it has no soak setting. Prewashing does not get out the majority of my stains--oil based. Would I be missing the soak setting for stain removal with this washer or would the steam make up for it?
Honestly, I do miss my soak setting. However, the steam does a really great job of getting out stains. Shout works really great on greasy stains. I would just pretreat your oil based stains first.

What is a steam washer

How does the Samsung WF448AAW differ from a standard water washer?
Instead of just using really hot water to clean the clothes, the steam comes in and actually steams them clean. It really works great on set in stains. You can use the steam when you want; it is an optional setting.

How does delay start work with liquid detergents?

Due to issues with skin irritations, I prefer to use liquid detergents. But if you use the delay start, does that mean the detergents sit on the clothes until it starts?
Or is there a compartment that releases them when it starts to fill with water?
There is a separate compartment for the detergent, softener, bleach and prewash. So, nothing touches the clothes until the water starts going into the washer. The water actually "pushes" the detergent into the washer, so it really gets mixed in well.

Can you use this washer if you have a septic system?

Yes, we have a septic system and it works fine. It uses less water than our old washer, so I think it is better for the system.
