I have never been so geeked out getting an appliance as I am with the Samsung washer and dryer!  This washing machine has a wide variety of settings for washing, which is great for a large family and lots of laundry to do. The bedding and waterproof items setting are awesome! Without the center cylinder, things like this can tangle, but not so with this setting. I was able to wash and dry my giant comforter in literally half the time! I love that it reminds me of when it is time to clean the machine and love the schedule setting, it's perfect for my crazy lifestyle.  I am able to start a load when I leave work and have it done by the time I get home, leaving no time for wet smells to start!   The self-clean cycle is great. You will enjoy the little chime that goes off when the load is done, it's such a happy little sound. It's only been a week but it's been love at first sight!
