I am completely blown away by the upgrade this washer has been for my home. I went from a front load washer that was a hand-me-down and dirty from the start, to an impressive, quiet and high-performing washer from Samsung. I love the ease of getting the load started and choosing my cycle. There are seven general cycles, plus a self clean cycle that I have plans to run once a month. I tend to stick with “normal” or “delicates,” for the loads that have a lot of workout clothes that I don’t want jostled more than normal. Additionally, you have four temp settings, and four water level settings. Simple buttons for Power and Start/Pause allow you to get started easily, and the size of the inside is pretty amazing. I like the soft close top on the washer and how easily I can get clothes out after the spin cycle. This is a very easy washing machine to use and I can picture this lasting a long time in my house.
