What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise the washer's thorough cleaning performance, quiet operation, and large capacity for handling bulky items like bedding. The ActiveWave agitator and automatic water level detection receive frequent mention. Most appreciate the soft-close lid and multiple wash cycles. However, many find the 25-second end-of-cycle chime annoying and impossible to disable. Some shorter users report difficulty reaching the deep tub bottom. A few report serious mechanical issues including spin cycle failures or poor cleaning results. Despite these drawbacks, most customers consider it a reliable, effective washer.

As others are reporting all over the internet, this washer is awful. We started having the same off-balance issues. This causes loud banging and shaking. We have to repeatedly shift laundry around. It can take forever to get through the entire cycle. Who has time for that? We did replace the rods. IT DID NOT HELP. We just hit our 5 year mark and can no longer stand the constant disruption and aggravation. So, I am out of my investment and shopping for a new washer. I have owned a few br...

Good luck getting your load through
I will never buy another and highly recommend others don’t either.
Poor quality
Bought this brand new in 2020. Had to replace the springs that hold the drum after only 5 years because the loads continually were unbalanced even with small items. Very frustrating trying to get laundry done for a family of 5 and it taking almost an entire day to complete. Then a year later it starts leaking. I can’t figure out where it’s leaking from. All of the suggested hoses and drains are clear and not clogged. Takes more than a hour to wash a medium load. Really irritated that this 6 year...

3 year 3 month and the Drum completely broken.
I bought this brand new washing machine from Lowes before our son was born. We're 2 adult and 1 baby household, we don't have a lot of clothes to wash and not heavily wash either. Last Sunday was the day that water gushing out from the bottom, we took it apart thought it could just be washer seal or bearing, but the whole bottom of the main drum broken. I have always have faith in Samsung products since I was young(and Panasonic)but this washing machine is not worth $500-$600(I paid full price i...

Don't Purchase
I bought this machine in 2019 and I've hated it from the time I bought it. I wanted a washer that had few dials and the option to determine my own water level vs the sensor. It balls the clothes up and I don't think it cleans very well or spins well. For the last 6 months we have had problems with the spin cycle. It stopped spinning and all the dials would light up. Even after stopping the cycle and trying to put it on spin only worked for a couple of months and then stopped altogether. I had M...

Little things to get used to but ...
After shopping for QUITE some time for a new washer (agitator) and dryer, I finally settled on this Samsung set. I’ve read literally every review on most machines and decided I had to come to the harsh realization that companies simply do not make basic “you be in charge” machines anymore, meaning the washers lock during cycles, gauge the water for you and basically YOU have to change YOUR system for doing the laundry chore. All this being said I really do like this duo but it does take a little...

Do NOT Buy and beware of Lowe’s return policy
I ran the first load on this machine and the tub was full of dirt and debris from some towels. I never had this issue with my previous washer…so, no, it was not the level of soil. I completed 1 additional spin cycle and then another wash cycle and it STILL did not get rid of the dirt and debris. When I called both Lowe’s and Samsung neither of them would do anything for me! No exceptions and Samsung even said it could be the detergent…really? In other words, they will not do anything. I have now...

BUYER BEWARE
This washer and dryer(matching it) were delivered yesterday (Fri Feb 9th, 2024) I spent 3 hrs reviewing and looking at different washer/dryers last weekend. Thought I was picking the right set. We have a Samsung refreigrator and it has been good purchase so far (2yrs old). These appliances were what I wanted with as little of electronics was possible. I think the front loaders are ugly and serveral friends of mine said they would nerver again purchase one. (smell & chews clothes) They have sin...

Mixed review.
I'll start with my only positive comment about this washer. It DOES do a nice job on my laundry-which is what I'd expect. That's what it's supposed to do. What I'm unhappy about is that there was NO information regarding this machine prior to my purchase that I would NOT be able to use the eco-friendly washing sheets that I had been using for several months-and love them. I HAVE to purchase "High efficiency" detergent instead. According to the manual, it also seems that the "scent crystals" ...

Do Not Purchase
I purchased this washing machine in 2021 however we have had nothing but problems with it for the last few months and now we need to purchase a new washing machine. It spins sometimes, but recently it has been spinning but clothes are still wet inside. Spin only cycle no longer works and then whole new cycle starts, washing clothes again. The washing machine is level, we do medium loads and make sure everything is balanced. After reading other reviews this is a common problem. This washing machi...
