Product review (2 stars): Sloppy design
They just tried to get too cute with it.  They decided to "fix" things that really haven't needed to be fixed in a dozen years--like the lint trap--and just left some things that could really have been done better.

"But wait," you're saying to yourself, "what could they possibly do to the lint trap to screw it up so royally?"  Well, let me tell you.  Have you ever looked at a lint trap and thought, "You know, this is great, but what would make it even better is if every time someone wanted to empty it, they had to pry that sucker open with a screwdriver?"  No?  Yeah, me either, but that's what I've resorted to because apparently, someone at Samsung did.

And don't even get me started on the "timer".  Apparently, time functions differently in Samsung's headquarters, because I can start a 42-minute cycle at noon, come back at 12:45, and the cycle will still have 12 minutes left.  Now, I know I'm not THAT bad at math...

And what could they have done better?  Integrated wifi connectivity or adaptive timing estimation based on load size and wetness, for starters.
