We were pleasantly surprised by this small but large washing machine. Because of the large 4.1 cubic foot load capacity, we are now washing fewer loads. The fact that there is no agitator makes loading even easier. A pretty cool feature is the soft close safety lid, no more having to double check that the lid is completely shut. There are 8 pre-set laundry programs but the bedding feature has to be the best. We have a small child in the house and the bedding gets washed a little more than the average. Combined with the large capacity drum, washing the bedding is no longer a hassle. Our old machine could not handle the large quilts so we had to go to a laundry mat. The vibration reduction technology of the washer makes doing laundry even quieter. This machine is saving us money all around with the energy savings features as well as less loads! I would highly recommend this Samsung washer to everybody.
