Pros and Cons:
 
Positives:
  • Very durable.
  • The Bubble Wash delivers an excellent cleaning performance.
  • Simple and easy to use.
  • Great capacity.
  • Informative functions and great safety features.
  • Quiet operation.
Negatives:
  • Takes hours to do the washing and drying.
  • The clothes can sometimes be wrinkled and not fully dried.
  • Not very cheap machine to run.
  • Most of the features are basic and simple.
Negatives common to all combos:
  • There is no exterior lint trap for the dryer. The lint tends to collect around the rubber seal and you have to empty that once a month depending on the frequency of use.
  • The clothes need to be free to tumble in order to dry completely. Fill only half of the drum if you’re going to use the dry function.
  • Noisy water pump that expels the water from the machine – although active only intermittently during the wash and rinse cycle.
  • Produces a bit of heat.

Conclusion: Honestly, since this is a combo unit from Samsung, my expectations were high, but I think we can all agree that 5-6 hours are just too much. Plus, many people complain that the clothes are not fully dried. So, if you’re willing to spend almost $1,300 on a combo unit which has many flaws, go ahead. But we assure you that there are far better choices out there.
