Greg nice video ..
I watched this last week and thought not a bad machine. Pretty mechanical in its washing mode. Just seeing how the samsung FL are in the VRT mode really works. I hope this is better then the LG that has been reported as a blow up machine when spinning. Cold Clean..Eco Clean..Turbo Clean It's here ECO WASHING. Like it or not. I wonder what John thanks on VRT and Samsung washers.. TL wise. Darren k |

This looks like a nice machine. But why did they away with the heater? And as far as eco-waashing is concerned: well, washerdryerinfo.com recently tested the more expensive TL from Samsung and found that some cycles, like Towels, use quite a bit of water. 81 gallons to be precise! (that's 300 liters)

My Samsung FL thas the VRT. Not sure how it works, but when it starts to spin, you can see it beginning to shake, then the faster it goes the more it smooths out. I love the machine, it is almost silent. |

That's far from ecological washing! Modern front loaders like Siemens iQ-800 i-Dos with eco-perfect need only 50 litres per wash... |

It is a similar design, but it is the LG's that do that.. I don't know about the Samsungs. Whenever I look at one of these things, the tub always moves around very easily. |

Samsung takes 72 gallons for towels and 26 gallons for heavy duty// /// something is out of whack there!
A 1970's Frigidaire 1-18 can be set for 72 gallons 18 pounds of towels or about 20 gallons for quick loads and it does its cycle in about 35 -40 minutes depending on setting. So where's the improvement??? My SQ (with the tweaked water setting mind YOU) will do 18 pounds of towels in 21 gallons!! And use only 7 gallons of hot water--HELOOOOOO?? |

Could the 72 gallon water use on the Samsung towel cycle be a misprint?Did someone at Samsung hit the wrong button on their computer when typing up the specs? |

Where do these numbers come from? Couldn't find them in the specs, nor the manual.
Anyway, here's a quote. More in the link I gave above. Water Use Here’s where things get dicey. Run a normal wash cycle and it’ll use about 26 gallons of water. That definitely won’t get any awards from Greenpeace, but it’s still nothing compared to some of the WA5471ABP’s specialty cycles that can use a whopping 81 gallons of water to get clothes clean. |

jetcone, not sure where u got your info from but 72 IS NOT TRUE it ranges from 16 to 19 gallons PER CYCLE, depending on the cycle, which isn't bad considering the capacity and that you can do 2 loads at once. |

There's more on washerdryerinfo.com. These HE top loaders seem to use a high amount of on some cycles that, I suppose, fill the tub up or add extra rinses automatically.
Maytag Bravos X: 73 gal. on Allergen Whirlpool WTW7300: 45 gal. on Whitest Whites Whirlpool WTW8800: 43 gal. on Bulky GE Profile Harmony: 83 gal. on Handwash (really?) |

That site is fascinating - they seem to be following some rigorous testing standards and set the bar pretty high for themselves. I want one of those button temperature sensors!
Just a "Quick Cycle" look around the site at some of the reviews, complete with pictures of the cleaning results and detailed opinions on controls, design, etc., they look to be doing what CR used to do... An interesting find is the pictured results from some of the front-loaders cleaning performance, the Quick Cycle gets results nearly as good as the Heavy Duty cycles! Numerous times, they mention the resource usage and cost of operating front-loading washers against the top-loading washers, the scoring really doesn't lie. The reviews of the traditional non-HE top-loading washers are pretty dismal, but entertaining. Thanks for this, Alexander, hours of fun here! |
