Samsung 4.0 cu. ft. High Efficiency Front Load Washer

Just got my WF219ANW yesterday and right out of the gate I'm disappointed.  Had Sears deliver and install to make sure specs were met but my laundry is sopping wet when the cycles is done.  If you squeeze them by hand water comes streaming out.  It does this no matter what type and size of load I put in.  Even if I run 3 extra spin-only cycles on it they don't get any better.  Now I get to play the finger pointing game with Samsung to see if I just got a lemon or what the deal is.  When I called Samsung they tried to tell me not to use the heavy soil level even though I explained this was...

Although this was not the most inexpensive model on the floor, it is the most efficient model for the price.  It has just enough bells and whistles to give you choices but not so much that it is confusing or unnecessary.  The dryer has a light in the tub area to help you find that missing sock, an easy to reach and clean lint filter, and a smooth instrument panel that is easy to clean.  The dials are easy to read and operate. Some minor things that might effect a buyer:  the machine sits farther away from the wall that our previous dryer.  That may or may not effect people depending on where...

Love the color and especially like the safety feature Aquastop. It looks great in my new laundry room and I like all of the cycles. Used the comforter cycle to wash all the comforters in my house and the results looked great.

I spent weeks researching dryers from all sources and since I had the Samsung washer, I decided on this one, more from the research because I really didn't care if it was the same as my washer.

I am absolutely thrilled with my choice.  I've had it a month now and I can say without hesitations, everything works as it says it will.  The dryness sensor is right on every time; I've never had to program additional time. The kids and I purposely wrinkled different fabrics to see if the steam feature worked and, guess what, it did!  Flawlessly I may add.

I am pleased with how quiet it is too.  Samsung...

super quiet, huge capacity, more cycles than i'll ever need. my only complaint is the color, but the 200.00 trade in the store offered made it more than worthwhile

We bought this washer in July, 2006 and as I am writting this review, my laundry room floor is soaking wet and my basement ceiling has water dripping out of the tiles along with my basement carpet, which is not quite a year old, being soggy and ruined because of this piece of garbage.  So far, since buying this washer, the repair service has been here SEVEN times.  I am waiting for them now to come in 4 days to fix it yet again, which will be the 8th time they are here.  It is very frustrating since we are having a house full of company arriving Tuesday for the holiday.    We were fortunate...

I have owned this washer for almost 2 years. I use it often,approximately 3 loads per day.I use it for all types of washing(even the greasy clothes of a mechanic)and never have a problem with anything left in the washer to get on the next load. My water bill dropped tremendously.The only problem I have seen which I have been told is common in all front loaders is that you have to wipe the seal down(around the door) after use to prevent mold Other than that I love it!

Our Kenmore washing machine died so we read washing machine reviews for a while then went to Sears planning to just get a similar one.  The Salesperson pointed out that with the $200 rebate from PG&E this model was only slightly more than the basic Kenmore model. Plus there is the added savings over time from the reduction in water and power usage.
We have only been using it for about 4 days now, but it seems to do an excellent job and with very little detergent.  If I notice any problems I will post again later.  But so far, I'm very happy with it.

I have been looking for the last two months and finally settled on this washer based on the reviews here.  I was satisfied with the features, yet concerned about not having control of the water level.  It was delivered yesterday and I have run a few loads with it.  First and foremost, this think is LOUD.  Everything works correctly, it is leveled properly and the spin cycle is not the issue.  (Spin is actually the quietest cycle.)  It sounds like there was no effort made whatsoever to insulate or reduce the noise in any way.  The switches between each cycle are very loud and...

We've always bought Kenmore appliances, and we've had this one for almost a year.  It is the most annoying appliance I have ever had.  Dryers are supposed to dry, right?  This one's clever "sensor" stops the dryer when the lightest item is dry, and the others are still completely wet.  It often takes 3-4 tries to get the clothes dry by successively removing dry items.  I don't use the sensor setting any more (even turned to "more dry").  Even setting the dryer on 40 minutes (for small or medium loads without towels or heavy sweatshirts) still leaves most of the clothes very damp...

I like the washer, but sometimes you just need an extra rinse...and this machine makes you do the entire cycle over just to get an extra rinse.  I know you can choose the second rinse option, but that decision needs to be made before you start the cycle.  For me, when I was figuring out how much soap is needed for different load cycles- my  laundry came out still soapy a couple times...And I had to run the entire cycle again just to make sure it got rinsed; ridiculus! Otherwise- it is a good machine!

I purchased this machine in August of 2008.  It was highly recommended by the salesperson in the store.  We were desperate for a machine as my old one had quit the week before.  Upon the recommendation of the salesperson, we purchased this washer.  The biggest problem is that my clothes do not get clean.  I hate the high efficiency performance.  There is no way for a person to add enough water to get the clothes clean.  I have three active kids.  I try to make sure that no obvious chunks of dirt and mud go into the washer but unless I wash them before they go into the washer, the clothes...

We replaced a 14 year of Maytag with this unit 2 months ago. The new Washer has many more features and performs beautifuly.  We love it.. The option to do small or even very small washes saves a lot of water and detergent.  The wash options are excellent and its spin dry is far better than our older Maytag.

Get the installer to make sure to level the unit...and to show you the level bubble. Our install went very well.   Unless you have a big family you will find that 3.5 cu. ft. is really big. We have become Kenmore fans.

BTW The 665 serial prefix indicates itis made by Whirlpool. With the...

Like capacity of dryer, set it on auto dry and just wait for the buzzer to tell you its done. My previous dryer lasted 13 years, I hope this one lasts at least 10 years.

We love this Dryer. We had a much bigger budget for our new dryer but we were confined by small space in a town house. This was a perfect solution.

This unit replaced a 12 years old Maytag. We would advise that you put some kind of felt feet on the unit to help dampen the sound and perhaps some rubber foam next to it if you put it directly next to the washer. It started out a bit loud if allowed to vibrate against a hard object but with a little pre thought - our sound level went way down. It performs beautifully.  We never use all the bells and whistles of more expensive units and do...
