Most of us know that excess foam hinders washing action, surely this is just encouraging poor laundry habits? discuss... Matt CLICK HERE TO GO TO Hoover1100's LINK |

Looks like a headache to me. It doesn't make sense to make foam in a FL. The demo another YT channel had, it wasn't that foamy. |

Foam can be produced without a pump. It's called too much detergent. |

No, I think this is interesting. Think "shampoo action". No water in the tub, just enough to generate suds. The problem I see is when the clothing is very dirty and as the dirt is suspended by detergent, the bubbles pop. How does the machine know to create more suds, or does it just constantly generate suds? Also, how do you control temperature of suds? If the first rinse is a spray rinse, it might be even more economical for water use. Interesting...

Will someone PLEASE turn off the BUBBLE MACHINE!!Sounds like this should be on the Lawrence Welk show.A washer that DELIBIRATLY makes suds-as others say-makes rinsing more difficult-wonder if this thing gets SUDS LOCK?Bet this will be at Best Buy soon. |

This video got me thinking. Did you notice that the actors in the video were all hispanic? I think this machine will be marketed to people who still think that more suds equal more cleaning. Think of the oversuding mamacitas you see at the coin op. This is just one group of many that still think you need lots and lots of suds. |

But I`d say only when its on a level of water that impedes the washing action !!
My verdict is on hold until we see more, it could be a very unique concept, am assuming no water in the drum just thick cushions of foam bubbles!!!..think dry foam carpet cleaning!! Also, you can note that if they use conventional washing programmes / rythmns then sudz lock could be an issue.. But you watch certain machines get rid of suds...think Frigidaire, how many soap cakes have we seen whipped away in a fast spin..think Miele & Zug, with long fast interim spins, the Zug just seems to suck them out of the drum!! (not guilty m`lawd, visiting house guest!!) And if the claims of less power & water usage are correct, then it could be the next new thing!!!....or fad... |

I certainly wasn't trying to be unfriendly, Gary. Just took the opportunity to clarify my comment! I thought perhaps you were implying a previous washer had used a similar technology in the past. :) |

in the range of £500-548. TBH I actually quite like the design of these Samsung machines, have warmed to them - have quite a classic look about them. Jon |

Consumer Reports wasn't too impressed with the PowerFoam - which I guess is the same thing.
