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.

Good value washing machine
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far we have been happy with this washing machine. It's quiet and does a great job and holds a decent amount of clothes. Read some negative reviews about the machine becoming faulty over time but we have not had any issues yet. Purchased on sale and feel it is a good value machine.

Terrible Shaking/Off-Balance after 3 years
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...

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...

Too easily unbalanced.
I've had this washing machine for 4 years now. It was nice when I first got it, the laundry came out feeling really clean and the cycle didn't usually take super long. I learned pretty early on that it was a little picky about the loads being perfectly balanced but that usually wasn't a huge issue unless I was trying to wash a thicker blanket or more than like two towels. Fast forward to now, I'm married with 4 kids and 3 dogs so we are frequently having to wash bulkier loads and it has gotten t...

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...

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...
