Laundry Game Changer

Let's take a step back and rewind time for a moment. Picture this, an old, white, on-it's-last-leg, 19 year old washer/dryer laundry tower. It had definitely seen better days, but even during it's better days, it was loud and obnoxious, it had a small capacity, so most things like pillows, blankets, larger sheets, bigger jackets, etc were taxing on its limited capabilities, meaning we would have to lug it to a laundromat, a friend's house, or just leave it to rot in the dirty laundry bin until I had time to take it somewhere to get cleaned.
Now, fast forward to March 2024, the day my laundry life would change. That was the day my new Samsung Bespoke AI Laundry Hub™ 4.6 cu. ft. Large Capacity Washer with Flex Auto Dispense and 7.6 cu. ft. Electric Dryer in Brushed Black (WH46DBH500EVA3) would be delivered. I was so afraid this larger capacity washer/dryer would not fit into our tiny laundry closet, however, when they delivered it, the fit was just right, slipped into the space just like Cinderella's glass slipper! It looks so beautiful in its sleek brushed black color and though I'm short, the dryer machine isn't too high for me to reach for that wayward sock stuck all the way in the back of the dryer. The capacity is so much bigger than my previous machine even though the room it takes up in the closet is virtually the same! I've been able to fit an extra fluffy and thick twin sized comforter in there without it being too stuffed!
Some of my other favorite features so far:
* Using the Rinse Hold/No Spin, Drain/No Spin, and Air Fluff settings for my delicate and hand wash only clothes. In the past, I could never handwash bigger items because that meant I had to fill a bathtub full of water just to soak and handwash the items, however, with this new machine, I could soak and rinse the items inside the washer, then I can throw them into the dryer on Air Fluff (room temperature heat) setting until it was dry! This is such a time and water saver!
*The Smart Things App has been so awesome to use. I love that it gives me notifications about when my washer and dryer loads are done so I never have a forgotten load of laundry in the washer! Plus I can see what all the #s mean on the washer/dryer because on the app, it shows me a Level 3 temperature means warm water and since I always wash my clothes on cold water, I can easily see and change all that on the app to my liking. Plus, I can start, pause, and stop the washer straight from my app once I've turned on Smart Control on the washer/dryer.
*The lint trapper works so well to contain all the lint and it is so easy to clean out each time.
*The machine is so much quieter than we are used to and I love it. Even when it's spinning extra fast, once I close the laundry closet door, the sound is pretty muted and that's saying a lot because our laundry machine is literally right next to our dining table. The only reason why the dryer sounds louder in my video is because I use wool dryer balls and I have 6 of them rolling around in there making more noise than if it was just clothes!
*From my past experiences with my old machine and other people's machines that I've used, at the end of each wash or dry cycle, it makes a really loud, scary, and obnoxious sound to signal that the cycle is done. Well, not this beautiful Bespoke machine, it gives me cute music when it turns on, when I change settings, and at the end of a wash or dry cycle, it gives me a beautiful song...yup, a whole song, telling me it's done, along with the app telling me that my wash/dry load is done!
*The capacity of this machine wrapped up into a compact size is amazing, it's great for apartment/condo living when space is extremely limited, like ours. Plus, because it's a stacked unit, all the dials are in between the machine, meaning, even my child can reach all the dials and help with the laundry too!
*The Flex Auto Dispense System is great too. It's my first time having something like this so I'm still testing it out, but I love that it doesn't leave any powder residue in the dispensing areas when it's done and it knows to take what is needed for the size of the load! Plus the Smart Things app will also tell me when I'm running low on detergent so I don't need to load detergent every wash, only when it's running low!
I absolutely love this machine and it's a million times better than what I had previously, I would totally recommend this to everyone!
Below are a few things I would love to see improved in future machines:
*I would love to see the Smart Things app to communicate with the machine without me turning on the Smart Control on the machine every single load but instead to have a feature where I permanently turn on Smart Control on the machine once and it locks in for all the future loads. That way, I don't constantly have to remember to turn it on the machine, forget and run back to grab my phone or vice versa.
*On the app, it shows a Rack Dry option, unfortunately, we were told that our machine did not come with a drying rack, which was a really big bummer. I would have loved to see all machines come standard with this in the future. Not even sure if this feature is usable on our machine and if we're even able to purchase the drying rack separately to be able to utilize this feature.
*I would love for the option on the Smart Things app to be able to change the sounds, songs, and length of song on the machine. I love the songs, but I would love the option to be able to shorten the length of the song to maybe half the length, so if that could be an added feature on the app, it would be amazing.
*The power button on the machine does not always register when I press to turn it on, wich it was a little more sensitive to the touch, but it's not a big deal.
