we usually do at least 2 loads of laundry a day so when replacing our old washer, we needed one that was up to the task. samsung has done a great job offering a lot of space in a more compact design. this washing machine fits our laundry room much better while providing more cubic space for clothes. the nearly silent noise level is amazing. it also offers several great washing settings and an easy to use control system that makes getting our clothes cleaned properly every time. my only semi-complaint would be that i was under the impression that the washer could be set up with the samsung smartthings, but it actually can only access the diagnostic tool found on the samsung washer app. however, it doesn't take away from how much more convenient this washing machine makes my family's life.
