CNN article on new Samsung Bespoke Washer and Dryer

[tomturbomatic]

It's written by what seems to be a stupid idiot who says she has never sorted laundry in her life so I don't know if this review is worth anything, but they are an expensive pair of machines so information about them is worth something.

shoving everything into a single load

What's with people shoving everything into 1 load without sorting? It really drives me insane! What is wrong with these people?
Some people are just too stupid to be doing laundry! SMH! And yet they wonder why their laundry doesn't smell clean. Gee! I wonder why? People these days just expect to cram everything in and run it on cold and speed wash, and then they will claim the machine is broken.[this post was last edited: 8/31/2023-14:53]

Hmm... what exactly is a 'bespoke" washer and dryer? That seems to be the word of the year. Around here, a new veterinary clinic just opened and allegedly provides "bespoke" care for the animals. And as far as laundry, people are actually getting dumber and dumber about a very basic task. And maybe that's the issue - no one these days wants to do the necessary but mundane tasks well since everyone is so busy "changing the paradigm" (another phrase I hate) or otherwise being very important... Oh, well....

bespoke

What does bespoke even mean? Why is this society so stupid when it comes to laundry? Why do they KEEP CRAMMING everything into a single load?

 

[DADoES]

 
Bespoke = (a) custom-made; (b) dealing in or producing custom-made articles.

Samsung is using it as a marketing label for a line of kitchen and laundry appliances and stick vacuums.

Definition of bespoke at Merriam-Webster online

Definitely an overused term, along with "artisan."

There’s nothing ‘bespoke’ about modern appliances. It’s just another way these appliance tycoons ‘put lipstick on the pig’ to appeal to consumers who don’t know any better.

With Samsung having the worst reliability out there in appliance-ville, I would greatly caution those who would be interested in purchasing them. They are also a headache to deal with warranty issues but that's pretty much across the board these days. Absolutely nobody cares about customer service anymore.

 

Yes, front loader users are overall very poor at separating laundry since their large drums are very enticing to throw everything in one load using one temperature (usually cold water) then complain about mold and mildew issues soon after.

Large capacity machines in general are for people who are lazy. Many folks would complain my Whirlpool has a small capacity and to a degree it does however, I usually separate all my shirts from my shorts, to underwear and socks etc. and never have issues with anything. Even if I were to throw everything in so to speak, it would only equate to an extra large load in my Maytag A806 and A606. Definitely can squeeze just a tad more stuff in with the dual action load sensor agitator, but even then a weeks worth of my laundry isn’t all that much. Only reason why I separate everything is my shorts and socks get quite dirty from yard work every evening since I live on a acre of land compared to my shirts, if I were to throw everything in, wouldn’t end up with laundry that’s properly cleaned since it would be a little itchy afterwards.

Just to mention it’s not just FL users overloading machines it’s also TL users too thank you very much qsd-Dan.

The posts on here from one person are getting very tiring. Repeating the same crap over and over again on this forum isn’t going to change millions of people attitudes worldwide.

I’m also sick of these people being branded as lazy. It’s becoming used as frequently now as the term eco n*** and frankly it seems to be grossly unfair and vulgar.

I think a few people here need to educate themselves (Sean and Gerome) and realise we are only on this planet for a poxy 90 years if we are lucky. Life is precious. If you don’t enjoy doing laundry you are not going to spend time doing it. Period. Kids whining on this forum ain’t gonna change that either. Sean and Gerome need to get over it.

People now also have to work long hours just to provide housing food and comfort for themselves while still
Trying to enjoy the time they have on this planet. So what if they need a large capacity machine. It means they can do something they enjoy better with the time they save.

Guys you seriously need to get a grip. It’s not all about you.

I was reading some comments on a washer video and a lady said she's had her Samsung FL washer for 9 years and it's still working and she hasn't had issues. I responded to her and got the vibe that she knew how to do laundry..didn't overload and used hot water at times, left the door open, etc..

It made me wonder of a certain percentage (maybe a large percentage) of failure rates could be caused by users? Take the mold problems that took over the internet..we all know that's user error... Look how many there were and still are..I almost feel like there are actually a larger percentage of people that don't know how to do laundry properly than do... I could be wrong. But it wouldn't surprise me. And when you add to that that they make machines so much more cheaply now..depending on which side you're on... that could speed up or slow down failure..

I wondered too what Bespoke meant...I thought figured it was some marketing term like eco bubble.

just don't get it

I just don't get it. People still chase after the "latest and greatest", only to find out the hard way that it's not what it really is.

doing laundry

Even if I had a large tub, I'd still sort the laundry properly according to color, fabric, and soil. Sean A806, I agree with you. College students and the masses don't give a damn about laundry. Anybody can say whatever they'd like, but I stand by my statement. Why? Because I know how laundry should and shouldn't be done. Shoving everything in leads to failure. Not fabric softener, not laundry detergent, OVERSTUFFING THEM! Oh, and let's not forget about poor maintenance habits. Don't even get me started, or I will go on. Leaving the door shut after washing, leaving wet clothes inside, on and on. The way I see it, this new stuff causes more and more people to become lazy and stupid. Say whatever you'd like, but I call these things like I see them. Off my soapbox.[this post was last edited: 9/1/2023-12:32]

I think you need to get a grip. Every time you post, you always snap and are combative towards others, probably have done that 2,825 times by the looks of it.

You need to get over being so combative and condescending towards others, if you don’t like it, tough.

Re: being combative

I agree with Maytag85. I call things as I see it. If you don't like it, too bad! I can beat a dead horse until I turn blue in the face.

Jerome! Just reported you to Robert! Your lack of civility and and your nasty attitude is oppressive! Blocking you too! Greg

If you don’t stop reporting people for no reason, Robert may end up banning you since you are wasting his time. My advice is just to ignore Jerome and go about your business.

 

[luxflairguy]

Blocking you too Sean! Such a lack of maturity!

You have a lack of maturity by being combative and argumentative. If you don’t want younger people to say “Ok boomer” then quit acting like the stereotypical boomer who likes to be combative towards others and have this “I am older than you are, so I know more than you” attitude. Not picking on anyone, it’s just the truth and what I see.
