Product review (1 stars): Don't buy a Samsung!!
I, too, thought it looked solid and durable. That was 1 1/2 years ago.  Now that I've put up with the hugely long wash time (2+ hours), and had to replace the upper wash arm that kept falling out, and had to leave the soap dispenser open because of door problems, the thing has up and died. Well, the washer motor is dead. That's about $250-300 to fix, AND you'll be hard pressed to find a service that fixes Samsungs. Parts are hard to find, and if you go through Samsung.com, and order up their service people it costs big bucks. BIG WASTE OF TIME FOR A SLICK LOOK.  Now I just want my dishes clean, and something more energy efficient, but never again a Samsung.
