Advantages
One of the main advantages to this unit is the simple controls. The controls are very easy to understand and the rotary dial is easy to hold. The unit also comes with excellent build quality and users can enjoy many years of good performance.
There's a button that kills the chimes that signal when the dryer is done. This is a good option if you easily get annoyed by the chimes. This is saved even if you turn the unit on and off, but you can choose to re-activate it anytime.
The unit dries effectively. Clothes come out dry straight from the dryer. The dryer dries loads more efficiently compared to other units from other brands even with thicker loads such as comforters and towels.
The unit also comes with a wrinkle free option, which reduces the need to iron the clothes. To top it all off, the dryer looks great.
Disadvantages

Have had this model since June 2010, now Dec. 2010 have had 4 service calls for same 2 issues dryer runs very hot and continually signals that door is not closed when using either high or medium temp. drying cycle. Yesterday drying one set of king size sheets it signaled 4 times in 15 minutes. This signaling stops teh dryer and rings until the door is touched or opened and closed. All 4 times no one has found a problem with the door adjustment. In addition service all # 4 the main control board replaced due to error codes coming up that neither the tehc or Samsung could distinguish! Waiting to hear from Samsung on replacement, which they will do but they tell me I have to eat the sales tax for when I bought the unit and will have to pay sales tax again when I purchase another dryer through Lowes who will credit me after getting credit from Samsung. I love the matching washer so far so good no problems with it, but I am almost afraid to say that!
