Quiet Operating, Compact…
03/27/2024 10:22
I'm really happy I ordered this laundry station. The footprint is compact, the height low enough to fit in my (low ceiling) basement, it's quieter than the units it replaced (washer AND dryer are both quiet), the menus are easy to follow, I get wifi alerts on my phone when a load is done, and it does a good job cleaning.
There are two minor details I'd change:
1) For whatever reason, Samsung likes to make its appliances play far too long of a tune when an action is complete. I have a buddy with a Samsung range and when the oven is done heating up, it doesn't beep, it plays a 10 second tune. That's the same with this. When the load is done, there's not a ding or a 3 note chime, it's like 15 to 20 seconds of some tune. You can't change this (it's either off or on-- not choice between this song and a "ding" or something). Obviously, it's not a big deal-- it's cute at first-- but it is a bit annoying
2) The second thing is that you need a standard 220VAC outlet (large plug) for the dryer and a typical 110VAC outlet ("normal" wall plug) for the washer. There's no good reason you can't power both units off of the single, large dryer plug. Some engineer got lazy and didn't want to change the wiring when they mashed two units together to create this laundry center, so you need two outlets. Again, not a big deal, but mildly annoying.
Those are my two complaints, pretty insignificant. Both the washer and dryer operate quiet enough you can have them on your main floor (though you'll probably still want them behind a door)2, both work well, and the menus are easy to use. At a glance you can see the "recipe" (soil level, temp, etc.) on the display while it's running, but as you go to change these settings the menu tells you in clear English what you're changing too (cold, warm, hot, extra hot/ lightly soiled, soiled, heavily soiled, etc). In addition, while th eunit is running you get a countdown of how much time is left.
The SmartThings app is also surprisingly useful. You can change settings there-- but the biggest thing is that you get push notifications on the app when a load is done. No more forgetting something in the washer for 3 days. You know right when it's done so you can move it over and get another load in.
Finally, I was worried that a stacked unit would sacrifice load capacity, but this washer and dryer hold virtually the same amount of clothes as the older standalone units it's replacing. It's hard to ask for much more, I'm really pleased.
