Find another brand to buy NEW
by: Former buyer

My 6 year old Samsung washer will no longer spin out the clothes completely and based on the reviews I have seen this is a common and continuing issue that costs more to repair than it would to buy a new one (not a Samsung if your smart)
And by the way the Samsung dryer I bought at the same time always burns through an element once a year like clock work in April or May I will have to replace it luckily my son and husband have learned how to replace that! Otherwise it's about $600.00 every time it needs fixed RUN Don't walk away from Samsung products perhaps they should just stick to phones!!!!!!!!!! And I wouldn't buy one of them either now.

Samsung JUNK
by: Disgusted

I purchased this with a matching dryer for my wife in November 2009 by December 2009 we were ready to throw it out the window, we have had five service calls on the washer, clothes smell moldy,don't rinse well, heck the machine don't even clean. Example: I left a folded piece of paper in one of my pants pocket it got laundered and my wife found the paper nicely folded just as I put it in my pocket it didn't even look as it was wet.

The time it takes to do laundry is insane, because it fails to perform all laundry must be ran threw two complete cycles plus an extra rinse it takes four hours for a single load. We have tried to have Samsung take the pieces of crap back they don't want them, the store where we purchased them (the brick) don't want them either. The sales man did a sweet number on us he mentioned that his "co-worker" had the same set and was completely satisfied with them. Guess she enjoys wearing smelly,dingy,dirty,laundry to work and sleeping on dirty linen,drying her body with dirty towles. PEOPLE DO YOUR HOME WORK STAY AWAY FROM SAMSUNG JUNK. We are getting rid of the set and researching other brands. Believe me your better off going down to a river and doing your laundry with a stone.
