Samsung Bespoke 4.6 cu. ft. Single Unit AI Laundry Hub Washer and 7.6 cu. ft. Electric Dryer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using my new Samsung Bespoke AI Laundry Hub for a week now. I was a little nervous at first. I've never had a washer and dryer that's not a side-by-side before. This is my first experience with that, and being on the shorter side, I was concerned it would be difficult to use. I'm happy to report it is quite easy to use and works great! It's very easy to move the clothes from the washer on the bottom to the dryer on the top. In terms of appearance, I love how sleek and sophisticated everything is. No bulky knobs to turn or buttons sticking out! The panel where you select your settings is super easy to use and very clear. In terms of capacity, it holds a LOT! Very happy about that! I really like how you can put in the soap and softener in the auto-dispense containers, that saves me a lot of time when doing my wash, instead of having to put soap and softener every single time I do a load of laundry. It's very convenient for those of us that do multiple loads of laundry in one day. The lint trap is also neat. Instead of being a flat piece that you pull out, it looks like a little folder that you have to open up. It takes a second longer to get the lint out (compared to the traditional lint holders) but I feel like it keeps it more together, and is a more clean and efficient way to gather the lint. I have experimented with different settings when washing and drying my clothes. I have used the AI setting multiple times and am very pleased. I like how it can auto-sense how big my load is, how much soap to use, and how long to dry my clothes. Instead of just hitting "normal" (like I used to on my old washer and dryer) I now hit the AI setting, and it's usually faster than the normal setting. Sometimes when I'm doing a smaller load, I will select the Small Load setting, that one really saves me a lot of time. And when my clothes are done, I hear this nice little tune play! The app is also really nice because no matter where I am, and what I am doing, it will let me know when my laundry is done. That way, I can get my next load going and I don' t lose valuable time because I forgot about it!
