Dryer tip: if your drying shoes, tie the strings together and close the strings in the door so that the shoes hang in place vs tumbling, which makes a lot of noise. Hope this helps🤗
Yoooo... I thought I was the only one who did this!
I did a video on this - it works!!
@LeeLee thanks for the tip
We did that with our shoes as well
Im gonna try this thank u
We’ve had this set for over a year and I love em. This video was helpful cause I didn’t read up on the features I just love the look of them 🤦🏽♀️
Thank you! I just bought this set and it comes in Wednesday. I was looking for a good review, I can’t stand when reviews are from some who have only had it for a week and review it. Sure some reviews come in handy but it’s nice that you’ve had it for a year and have been very happy! I’m so excited now 🥳
I asked a fellow teacher with 5 little ones below age of 8 about this. She's had hers for 6 years and LOVES them! She also confirmed not preferring the front load due to mold on the gasket. She pointed out that her only challenge was with rugs that they gravitate to one side (but that's rugs for you, right?) She said no issue with bath towels, jeans, and blankets/comforters which is great. She said it wasn't silent, but is quiet enough (but with 5 kids, anything is quiet, right!)
I went to Brandsmart and purchased my set. Scheduled Saturday delivery. 30 day return, 12 month Samsung warranty and purchased extended 24 month warranty for $6.35 a month that covers things like power strikes (living in tornado alley, it's very real here!) where if my power shorts it out, it's covered for replacement. I couldn't pass up that deal. Total less than $1100 for washer and dryer with delivery, install, and haul off of my current old ones.
Looking forward to my first new purchase rebuilding my life on my own! WooHoo! Yay!
Do u still have it and how good is it
@@ashantaylumpkins I do have it, it works perfect! I haven’t had any problems. The only thing is if you wash heavy items like a comforter just make sure it’s spread evenly in the drum because it will then pause and let you know it’s unbalanced, but I’ve never had issues with the washer or dryer!
Hi. Do you have a pan under your washing machine? If so, mind sharing the details? I want to ensure I buy the right one.
@@Flawed2Flawlezz I do not.
Just purchased mines today at home depot and it come the 16th or March 2021 and I’m super happy , it was a great choice and I’m super happy thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you so much! I'm a brand new home owner and I've been avoiding looking at washers and dryers, but you made it so much easier to decide!
I just unpacked my and I’m in love thank you for the review 👍
I was worried that it migjt have a bad review, but now I can enjoy my new set I got a week ago.
I just go my new set yesterday, excitingggg 😍 I’m enjoying laundry now haha
I was hoping for more details on how to select cleaning options. My sister gave me this because she said it didn't clean properly. I just did my first load and agreed. I'm glad I held on to my old Whirlpool.
So I just got mines delivered today from Conn Appliance in Lake Charles, La and I’m so loving it and can see the laundry washing.
Thank you! Great review. I’ve been reading reviews all day and this really helps.
@@italiangirl2440 I was only looking for a top loader. I bought these and I'm happy with the purchase.
We just now got us this set too. So I was searching for any special features etc that it has to have a quick look. Thanks for sharing.
My old washer and 41 year old dryer both broke. I couldn’t find a matched set for sale anywhere, due to nationwide shortages. I got an email from a smaller appliance store about a sale, and so I went there. I got this set. I hope I learn to love it as much as the old ones! The first load of wash is running right now.
Did u have any leakage problems?
@@tanelis5287 No I don’t. They do a fantastic job and don’t leak.
This review really helped.
I like the looks on both.
I ordered this one today thanks for the detailed video!!
Nice job with review. Glad it’s working out and best of luck going forward! 🍀
Follow Raleigh here. We just got the exact same set. I wanted black and they delivered and installed it. It arrived with a non visible small scratch. They gave us a nice credit for it since we paid cash. We got a great deal for the set as well. Looking forward to washing clothes quietly. My last machine was so old and noisy as heck. It was scaring my 79 old mom that lives with us 😂. So feel super blessed to have the one I wanted and at a discount price.
I just got this delivered today. Thank you for your review. I’m trying to figure out how to use it. It’s sooooooo much going on with this machine. My last Samsung washer/dryer I had for 17 years. This is a massive upgrade to say the least.
It lasted 17 years I really needed to hear that I just purchased a Samsung top loader AquaJet and was just skeptical about getting the dryer because I see all these reviews!!! And this gentleman is so I just watched vlog two years ago he said his Samsung dryer was a piece of crap. I'm glad to hear yours lasted 17 years so I may get the matching dryer. It's just a terrible feeling you buy something and the crap brakes down. 😰
At this point I have to give it a go, take the plunge and pray for the best.
Mine was delivered today. How long did it take you to figure it out? I just put a load in the washer and not sure if I did it right. Not crazy about how long it takes. I wanted a side loader but my husband was against it. I know they don’t take as long to wash or dry and uses less water. Let me know what you think and if you have any tips for me.
@@cindyb3028 girllll pack your patients because you have to get use to it. I’ve had it for a month now and my boyfriend purchased one as well. You going to have to play with it and figure out what works best for you. I can honestly say my clothes are clean!!!! I’m very happy with the purchase, it was money well spent. Good Luck to you. 🙃
Yes it is
@@miamia7633 I figured out how to do a basic load but that’s about it. I haven’t read the manual enough to figure out all the other features yet. I’m still don’t like how long it takes to do a load. Also I saw one of the big cons were people having to bend down but being only 5ft, I have the opposite trouble being able to reach for the clothes so I have to use a step stool or my grabber stick. The side loader would have been more convenient for me so I wish I purchased the side loader instead.😕
I like looking through the window on the top🙃
🙃🙃
Got mine yesterday. The washer takes forever and the dryer hasn’t dried a load properly yet. My old dryer was perfect I wish I didn’t sell it. I starting to have buyers remorse. I’ve never read a manual for a washer/dryer but I’m going to try. So far I may have to send it back.
thank you ( looking to get ) one on black friday
Just got these in Champagne! This will be our first Samsung appliance. Super Nervous. Thanks for the Review!
Thanks for the review. I just ordered the Black Stainless steel
Thank you. You were awesome.
Husband just purchased this set. Looks nice.
Let me know how you like them.
I like this very much. You got right to the point picked out the features that you like. He didn't ramble on and on and on and on!! I like the way you were very specific about the features and the child safety features on the fact that it's quiet. I just purchased a Toploader washing machine I can't wait to get it after that I will be getting the dryer. Not over-the-top right to the point thanks for posting.
wow thank you for the review Cant wait to get mine now!
Love mine too. Thx
i love mine. have had a little over a year
Hi. Do you have a pan under your washing machine? If so, mind sharing the details? I want to ensure I buy the right one.
I'm still fascinated, that this type of washing machines are so common in a lot of countries. We don't have any type of such a construction in Germany at all. Don't get me wrong: we still have models that you can load at the top, but it is more like a regular frontloader, with an opening at the top of the drum.
I don't really know, which type of construction is more efficient now...but i somehow love the capacity of the toploader version. Good for bedding sets, or larger curtains ^^
The top loaders do fit more!
We r planning to buy this one helped by d review
We bought the same set, also to replace the older front load Samsung washer / dryer. Are old dryer motor went out 6 months after we bought it, took 8 weeks for the repair man to get the replacement motor.
When doing a load does the water completely cover the clothing or just barely? I have the same set and am trying to make sure ours is using enough water. Thanks!
Good to know! I'm looking at these for a near future purchase. Thanks
I got them today . Do not buy them. I am so dissapointed..takes forever to wash
@@irmaburgosdecifuentes8757 Wow! Really? I keep hearing these are better than the front loaders.
Awesome review thanks Man! We're seriously considering the Samsung washer
Save yourself the trouble and don’t, horrible washer
Hey Mr Gizmo, do you know if the washer has a lint filter or a debris filter? I read that during washing of clothes it will remove the lint and that owners need to clean it or clothes will appear with lent on their dark color clothes.
My Tip of The Day: I did fine how to keep the inside / out drum clean and free from soap, softener, and mildew buildup. When running self clean we should add a cup of citric acid and a spoon of oxiclean every two weeks or once a month.
Look forward to showing where filter is located.
Thx!
I just bought a set! Can’t wait for delivery!!!
We just did too! Get it Saturday! How do you like it? We had a frigidaire set and didn’t like it!
@@jordonlafaucia2432 love it
@@rockinrobin7105 yessss! I can’t wait!!!! Thank you! I’m so excited about the water feature because well kids 🤣🤣🤣
I just bought the white version of this washer from best buy. Some good some bad reviews but the price was so good, ill try it out
Your old dryer had a moisture sensor in it too and on the inside its just like the old one, same parts same drum everything is the same. So if the drum felt is going fall apart and if back support panel is going to fall apart, you know who to blame on for buying it again.
There was a recall of Samsung 'Exploding Top' washers a few years ago. I'm still using one of those. Also, they're plague with the notorious 'dc-error-code' problem. I've replaced the Suspension Rods' but still the dc-code pops up sometimes. I'd stay away form Samsung washers and dryers. Currently, I'm researching on the 'Water in the top rim as Load Balancer' in these Samsung washers' hypothesis.
so what r u suggesting sir
@@mrmunzir9977 Stay away from Samsung Washers (& Dryers). Go with LG FrontLoaders.
The recall has been fixed now, it's fine.
Can you advise on how to keep the washer running with the lid open? for adding in while the water is running?
I have this exact same washer and dryer and it’s been a year since I’ve had them. Haven’t had any problems thus far. Before purchasing, I did read reviews where people were having problems with the WiFi set up and not being able to complete cycles because of the balance of the machines. So I was skeptical at first but like you, I like a good deal! Both washer and dryer work well. The only issue I have is the cycles are pretty long. Over an 1 hour for a normal wash is a bit long for me. Longer if you start adding other cycles too. Be sure to make your selections before starting the machine too. I’ve noticed that all cycles default to HOT water and ended up with some shrunk pieces of clothing. Other than that, they’ve been great machines.
I love how our machine washes but could you please tell me what app you used to set up the wifi?
The manual says use Samsung Laundry app- I don’t see that on Apple Apps.
I’ve downloaded 3 apps:
Smart Things, Samsung Smart Washer and Smart Home- I can’t get any of them to work.
@@tammylynncravins the app is called Samsung Smart Washer, however after reading the reviews I decided not use it.
I have the same issue wash cycles way to long like 1 hr 20 min and I’m frustrated. Can’t find a short cycle😵💫
What about water and electricity usage. I just got mine yesterday and I’m about to return them. The cycles are very long and I feel like they use a lot of water compared to my old one.
Getting mine tomorrow! Love that I can use smart care on this machine with my phone!
Thank you for review
What type of outlet is required for the dryer?
How do you mute the song it plays when you turn on and off?
Interesting video, I just bought a similar set. Do you use dryer sheets in the dryer?
We purchased it on black friday! In Champagne! My first colored washing combo set!
Me too...waiting on my Delivery ☺️
Are you liking it?
@@bethwatters3885 yes...it's a bit loud!😫 but overall no complaints.
How much cheaper was it on Black Friday
Hi there we have the same type of washer and would like to know where the add items via pause button in located. Thank you... Deb
Hello on your Samsung washer, are there 4 different water levels? If so could you explain how to use them, I have the same washer, but it's white, but the water level is very low, and the deep wash gives out too much water, thanks so much for your time,
I just ordered the set from Home Depot I will receive them on the 24th ..I’ll let you know how it works out …they look great ..Thanks for the honest Review 👍
Do the lights blink when it’s on? I have the same set.
Thank goodness for this water being available to pretreat fabric has come about! The maytag set my mother used until she passed away 5 years ago was one of the last washers to fill while the lid was up. They all used to fill this way, allowing for all kinds of prewash activities, as well as using them to dye fabric at home and all kinds of crafty things. Apparently there were idiots who could not figure out how to keep from drowning in the washer, or putting their hands inside of it while it is spinning. I think it's kind of funny that this "new" option has been discovered by Samsung when women my age have mourned the loss of this feature years ago when everyone "improved" their machines in the name of safety. To me it has felt a bit like having to deal with a kid who's allergic to peanuts, except in your own home, everyday for years. And also the kid who's allergic to peanuts isn't allergic because he's an idiot. Safety measures feel a bit like the idea flushing the toilet 5 times somehow saves water, or that buying items made from "vegan leather" to save animals, while simultaneously protesting the use of petroleum (which is what vegan leather is made from). Have we all become so unable to think in a rational manner? HA HA or LOL! I guess maybe we have! However, I think I'm not alone in the idea that sometimes you are just too stupid to draw breath, or in the event your kids are being allowed to drown in the washer and are dumb enough to do so, maybe this is natural selection at work and we should take a passive attitude and let nature take it's natural course. All this being said; I'm very glad to see these ideas being "discovered" and the wash board in the little interior sink is a return to another great idea, also being "discovered". : ) America!!!
What are you trying to say?
@@yogaowen8120 it was all done before, but done away with in the name of safety. Because apparently there are people who are so lacking in self preservation, all the rest of us cannot have access to running water in a washing machine. Now it's been invented! As if it never were before. But for how long? Is it a good thing to coddle little so? Or does it hurt all the rest? What does it mean to you?
100% correct! Engineers, who have probably never done any appreciable amount of laundry in their lives, have WRECKED washing machines. The “high efficiency” aspect of “new-and-improved” machines means too little water used, resulting in sour, foul-smelling dirty clothes. There’s a reason that all the fabric softeners are cloyingly sweet and massively perfumed now. They have had to spike the level of perfume of the softeners to compensate for the fact that the God awful “high-efficiency“ washing machines don’t use enough water. I guess these engineers think we’re too stupid to determine our own water levels, in addition to locking us out all the machines while they are filling.
I agree! Great for rinsing your laundry detergent cup out too
Well we know who you voted for LOL and this was certainly NOT made in America ha
Can the active water jet feature allow you to soak clothes?
I just purchased this set . Don’t know if I love it yet. Without an agitator I m skeptical but it looks great
Same here. Literally 24 hrs in.
Question. Does the washer has inside lights?
@@supercutehellokitty0 no
Samsung offers an agitator but not sure if it's offered on this specific model. I bought one with the active wave agitator similar to this model.
Thanks for sharing
Was just wondering , are the lights on the dryer supposed to blink off and on when you turn on the dryer ? Can’t seem to find that info on any manual that was with my dryer
Is the brushed black as attractive or not?
Hi, question:
I need to clean the filter on mine because it's not draining properly. Where is the filter located?
White apparently comes with a non glass door.. purchased early august 21, waiting on the delivery sep 4th
If you was a suit what setting do you dry with?
One thing all home owners need to understand is. if the machine is getting used at least 5 times a week. it's washing almost 240 loads a year. Now your dryer is 3 years old. that's 720 cycles. it's not designed for that. it's not a commercial dryer. Dryer manufactures are thinking it's only going to be used 1-3 x a week.
Here's the other factor that most home owners don't know.
Carbon monoxide goes out the dryer vent. if it get plugged.. The carbon monoxide will come back in the house through the dryer, It needs to escape out the dryer vent to outside.
If you have any white flex piping .. Replace it. it's not safe and can melt. if the dryer is drying more than 5-8 loads a week have real dryer service person clean it out. the whole vent and the vent inside the dyer and the lint trap and inside the dryer. that's where most fires start. because if backed up the lint has no where to go.
We have the new 2023 Samsung…if you’re vertically challenge the washer is a challenge!😂
The dryer lint trap is different from our LG and I’m not crazy about the little trap door on the filter….makes no sense.
I have the same washer and dryer. I’m curious, what cycle do you wash your towels on?
As far as mold issues on front loaders, the fix I've seen others use is to leave the door and detergent dispenser cracked open between wash days. That may be a safety issue with kids around.
As far as Samsung major appliances in general, nice features but not assembled in America like the other South Korean giant, LG.
I did both of those things and it does help with the mold issues.
Any front load washer should have the door opened. This helps air flow and not form mold or odor. Also, when doing a deep clean on any front load washer add a bit of bleach. That will maintain your washer in great condition. Do this at least once a month. Hope this helps. 😀
Samsung laundry as of 2019 is now assembled in America!
i need a new washer/dryer set. I am debating on getting a top load as I don't have the space to open the door properly. Well back to shopping.
I think the top loaders clean better
I purchased a Samsung washer/ Dryer of the same kind a year ago but my light indicator on the washer doesn’t work anymore any suggestions
I just bought me a set today. What does the wifi do
Where is the ventilation hose??? I just purchased the washer and intend on purchasing the dryer but I don't see the hose?? Is it a model that doesn't require the hose??
We just got a new washer and dryer and I think we got this model, or the similar one the newer one, because our washer? It works but the spin cycle does not. We have to go down there and manually turn it over to the spin cycle. We just have to wait for it to come in the mail. I discovered that when I went to get my clothes out of the dryer yesterday and they were not all the way spinned. Because they were dripping wet still. So I told my mom and she said OK we will get a new set, because our dryer does not dry worth a shit either. Excuse my language. And I had just got two new T-shirts that I need to wash. Before I wear them and I have an entire load of laundry in the floor. I don’t have a empty basket right now because I have so much dirty laundry to do. I was wondering does this machine also use powder detergent? Because last month I bought a bag of powder detergent and a box of it as well. (Was trying Arial with Downey)It would suck if it didn’t. But I could just buy pods or liquid which I’m not really a fan of liquid, get on my hands. I’m sorry I’m complaining a lot I’m just really in a bad mood over this it went out yesterday.
How do you wash a comforter without it going unbalanced?
Still recommend them? Trying to decide between this and LG?
using windshield washer to winterize washing machine
I've had my washer for 1 week exactly. The first day it took me 3 hours to wash one load. This washer just keeps adding time after time. Active water jet to me I thought would have a pretty aggressive power that would agitate the clothes. Like a jet of water that woukd come through the holes in the wash basin. But it doesn't. It hardly moves the clothes at all in my opinion. I feel like my clothes are not getting clean. The tub is HUGE. I love that. In fact it's so deep I have to stand on a stool to get to the bottom. The rinse is good if you can get it to balance. I believe I will be sending it back due to the time issues. However I will try the weight distribution as another person had mentioned. I like to know how long my loads will take. Like a set it and forget it. When it says the load will take 33 minuets; I want to return in 34 minuets and the load is complete. Not when I return 34 minuets later to see the timer says 23 minuets. I don't have time for that. Anyone else share my feelings?
Never will I buy Samsung appliances again. Especially these models. My clothes still stink
Mine does the same. If it says UR that means it's unbalanced and will keep restarting the wash cycle
I came in here hoping someone else would mention the agitation issue. Definitely don’t feel like it spins fast enough to get good agitation. Pretty bummed
What I have learned to do was. Do a speed wash with cold water. Add powder detergent to clothes and liquid detergent to where it ask. With softener where it ask as well and a cap full upright in the stack of clothes. These seems to work the best Bc when you do heavy load or deep wash clothes seem to stink. And hit the water button while ur loading all the cleaners. It makes the sensor seem like it’s a super heavy load and add more water to it
make sure u read the manual. there is a calibration that needs to be done before u even use the maching. try that.
I was excited about the capacity and unbelievable price of Samsung washer and dryer set but after receiving mine yesterday the dryer turned out to be defective. ( won't come on). I decided to do some digging and found multiple reviews on just how bad Samsung is. Everything from clothes not being washed properly to rust. I'm considering returning both appliances but I'm not sure what to do because there are many mixed reviews. #paininthebutt#isitworthit
Hi! Thanks for the review as it was very helpful. I need help on cleaning the dryer lint filter. I unscrews the screws and it won’t come out. I want to keep it clean but don’t know how. Your video would be greatly appreciated.
You shouldn’t need to unscrew anything to clean out the lint
@@MrGizmo211 no I don’t unscrew for the lint, but I have to for the inside if I want to vacuum out the extra lint that falls to the bottom and that’s where I’m having issues.
Hi, mine doesn't have a filter in it.. How do I clean it please?
Can you add water to fill it to the top using the button you showed at the beginning?
We have a Samsung Top Loader from Jan 2020. Nothing problems with UL errors. This because of the load balance. Looked online has something to do with the springs around the drum. Lucky we brought a warranty & I'm not buying another Samsung.
Ran the first "test" wash through the machine. Everything went fine up until it was time for the rinse cycle to drain the water out of the tub. The wash cycle drained the water just fine; however, the rinse cycle did not drain at all... I am literally left with a machine full of water & the machine just shut off after it was finished. But without the rinse cycle water being drained. What did I do wrong?
What did quickest cucle
Thanks for taking the time to do this review. We looked at the same setup at Lowes this week and are really intrigued with the product. We asked the "salesperson" if you can use Pods and there was a blank look in their eyes. Are you able to use Pods with this washer or is it dry and liquid detergent only?
Because that is an ignorant question. Of course you can use pods in every washer
Not ignorant at all because I legit did not know where the pods would go and asked myself that same question. I read the label on the tide pod container, and you simply throw them in the drum with your clothes.
@@Jakilyn there are no dumb (ignorant) questions, only Karen's would say that
Hello thank you for nice reviews. I would like to know the model no for both and price s for both if possible
Thank you for your help
What model?
Hi I just ordered this set. Can you share the details on the pan under the washing machine?
Yes Please I was wondering the same thing!
Cool video but I wondering what’s that you got underneath the washer and where can I get one
I bought that one at Lowe’s. It is just in case of a leak. It won’t hold a ton of water but it is a start :)
When you show an item, please show the entire appliance. On this washer and dryer, I only saw the opening of both appliances, some of the pannel and you in front of them. Thank you for the review, having have side loaders and top loaders before, this review confirms my opinion and couldn't agree with you more.
@mr gizmo, you mentioned that you had issues with the front loader washer machine but you didn't get into the issue. so what issues did you have with the front loader? i'm in the market now looking for washer and dryer and your video is really helpful but would like to know that issues you had.
Here is a link to it: czcams.com/video/ffHTH_rp0ic/video.html
We bought this so we can add clothes while washing (in case we forgot something.) the door seems to lock while washing. Any idea how to deactivate that feature?
Is that a detergent auto dispenser ?
How fast is the tub supposed to rotate on a samsung???? Our is going slow???
Not used to that, they are new but I'm used to the tub washing fast
If he or she can open the top lid that’s not a child, that’s a teenager! Great video!🤗
Not necessarily. There are tenacious toddlers, even the dumb ones can push a chair over...
What about easy way to drain?
,I have a brand new Samsung washer why does it keep adding water on the spin cycle
I have the same one and it won't completely drain, I can't find the filter cover to drain it
I can't figure out how to use the auto dispenser at all its not dispensing soap
Should the water level barely cover the top of the clothes? I understand it’s more efficient based on what I had but want to make sure there’s enough water. Thanks!
All depends on your water pressure the newer washers are timed on filling. Try answering it to large load
@@MrGizmo211 seems odd they would fill on timing rather than weight and balance. Any setting suggestions?
check manual. it has to be calibrated before use
I just bought this. It will be here tomorrow. We didn’t get the extended warranty, but they said I have 60 days to add it.
Would you recommend getting it? I’ve never bought a new washer. Only old used ones off Craig’s list , so
I’m not sure how well these Samsung’s hold up..
I would definitely recommend it!
When we start the machine, the softeners drop first before the laundry detergent, any suggestions?
It’s too full. Try adding just a little less softener. (Late response, but maybe someone else has the same issues, I did!)
Can the chime be turned off??? We do not like it.
Just got this set delivered today. Trying to figure out how to use it. Did you switch the dryer door yourself? I want to switch the side where the handle is if it’s possible to do ourselves.
Hi Cindy! Yes - I switched the door myself. You can definitely do it!
