30 inch wide Samsung topload washer

[pulsator]

Okay, 5.6 cubic feet, but it takes 2.5 HOURS to do a load... Not to mention it's 30 inches wide? How will it fit through a door?

I would like to know exactly what the "Niagra Wash" cycle does though...

Sweet!

Is this the machine that is paired with the 9 cu ft dryer?

Well here's what I would tell Samsung to do with their

"niagra falls" washer.

Take it to Niagra Falls and do what many people have attempted to do in a barrel.

2.5 hours to wash a load? Are they being serious?

Warranty:
One (1) Year Parts and Labor
Two (2) Years Control Board<<<<<what is the labor cost to replace?
Three (3) Years Stainless Steel Drum<<<<<Speed Queen btw, offer lifetime.
Ten (10) Years Direct Drive Motor<<<I suppose this is a plus but without a working control board, it's useless.

One of the cycles calls itself "water proof". Given the lack of sufficient water these things use, that might very well be an appropriate name!

 

[logixx]

Ah, they are being released!

Well, I think the 2:30 on the display is a bad photoshop work. I just read on a spec sheet that the Normal cycle is 60 minutes.

That Niagara Wash probably either turns on the AquaJet by default or uses a higher fill - like Power Cleanse or Deep Wash cycles.

The dryers that go with these 5.6 cu.ft. front and top loaders are 9.5 cu.ft. Massive. The Speed Queen double-stack dryers at out local laundromat are 10 cu.ft.

9 cu. ft. dryer...o.m.g. you could just about climb inside that thing and go for a tumble yourself. lol

This isn't another "Spin-splode" washer?

I love new technology, however, these things get bigger every year! Where do you draw the line??

 

[mrb627]

One four the team

Someone is going to have to get a set of these and evaluate their performance.

I know the wash tub is not as deep and somewhat wider. That means a bigger impeller.

I want to embrace new technology, when it is a success.

I would like to see the drum, too.  "Wider and extra shallow" could mean many different things in advertising parlance.  

 

You're right about getting that through the door, I hope the salespeople are trained to counsel buyers to "measure before delivery."  32" deep and 30" wide - that's a big footprint.  

 

[mark_wpduet]

Looks cool

Too bad new technology comes with sucky warranties.......

 

[logixx]

The drum is raised by four inches and seems to be two or three inches wider. Normal wash is 54 minutes.

 

[yogitunes]

well the bigger footprint is sort of put around for a larger family, and with that for the most part would include a larger home!

but seriously, who needs machines THAT big!

and about time that the dryers size has met the washers capacity!

I have been walking around Sears, Lowes, and HomeDepot.....and with all these machines, waranties covering longer terms for, the stainless tub, the drive motor, transmissions, etc..........

but nothing more than 1 year on the two major causes of failure, bearrings/seals, and the electronics!....unless you buy an extended!....even then, they wont repair it, they offer a refund!...and that can be a good/bad situation!

 

[mrb627]

Everyone...

Measure the access to your laundry facilities. Let's see how many people could actually install a set of this girth...

Buying a Samsung washing machine, was the worst thing I ever did.

It broke after seven months, I eventually got my money refunded in full from Samsung directly.

Measure the access to your laundry room

38 inches, baby. Of course, I'm on the wrong side of the pond.

 

[frontloaderfan]

"I'm on the wrong side of the pond"

See it as a trade off, Alexander: You get to have access to decent laundry equipment like V-Zug and the full Miele line-up. We, for the most part, get the third world junk.

 

[logixx]

True (although the reviews for the newest Miele range aren't as positive as one would hope).

 

[tecnopolis]

Wider is better!

Water-proof cycle is for garments such as rain coats, slickers, fireman's water-proof outer wear worn at fire scenes to keep them as dry as possible.

 

[logixx]

I guess

it's also for those types of laundry that caused the infamous explosions during the spin cycle on previous LG top loaders.
