Well - This was a surprise. I was expecting a Front-Loader with a "Child-Wash" cycle. You're very own daycare, right there in the laundry room!
Instead - this advertisement. Ouch. |

Its cute....Looks like a modified version of a full size samsung washer. But couldn't you just use a normal protable washer or one of those panda washers? |

Is it a portable? I don't see any wheels, but in the description it mentions
"Compact and modern design which easily fits in your home at a 0.9 cu ft capacity and universal adapter included to easily connect to any washer or faucet" It could be a good portable for someone living in an apartment? Plus it has an internal heater and 900rpm spin. Seems a little expensive though... CLICK HERE TO GO TO yoblount's LINK |

For some parents, nothing is too good or too expensive for their new born...
And even if it ain't green, if it might be good for their baby by any proven or unproven way, that's fine as there's nothing that's more important for them than their baby! This marketing strategy will appeal some irrational people and I'm sure there's plenty of them! I'm sometimes irrational too but I just don't have the money, interest or a baby! |

My grandmother swears to this day that cloth diapers are still better than disposables despite the advancements over the years. She says that clean and sanitized cotton is much more breathable and less irritating to the skin versus the plastic and foam that is used in a pack of premium Huggies. What's funny is that despite her age she is still very keen and sharp when it comes to the happenings of today, and even she says that there's no way a family with a newborn, or any babies to that matter, could use real cloth diapers unless they have an older washer that actually uses water, and doesn't temper down the hot inlet.
The idea of this little machine is great. A machine that can basically flood the clothes with super heated water and rinse them very thoroughly is a dream come true in the midst of today's water pinching washers, BUT why is it that machines being produced now can't do this already? Why is an entirely separate and fairly expensive alternative being presented as a solution, rather than a simple addition to the cycles and characteristics of the machine that is already sitting in your laundry room? |

Nice little machine, and it looks like it does use quite a bit of water too :) Plus I notice, theres only one temperature choice (Hot)! The cycle may be long, but cant be as long as the front loaders we have here, going on some settings for 3hrs, in fact, thats average now. |

First of all, another senior moment (that's 2 in the last 24 hours): I looked at the baby's dialogue in your original post, Malcolm, and thought it read, "Why are you so ####ty inside?" I'll cop to being slightly scandalized that a baby would have such a mouth. Had to laugh when I watched the vid and realized the word was actually "shiny." Time for a bifocal tune-up, obviously!
On point: Actually...I kinda want a washer that rinses up to 6 times and super-heats the water! Wait...the baby doesn't come with it, right? #don'tknowhowthesethingswork

You're right, it's probably on baby gift registries everywhere by now. If it says "baby" and gives the illusion of more safety, the promise of better health, etc., parents will buy it. CR has been telling parents for years that "baby" or "children's" sunscreen is pointless and a waste of money but those products are still on the market so demand is there.
This is no larger than the tiny Haier washer I brought home to play with a few months ago. The Haier has no heater, no six-rinse capability, but I'll bet it's not much different otherwise and it wouldn't surprise me one bit to learn that Samsung is sourcing this from a Chinese company as they do with most of their appliance parts already. |

More info from Samsung website. It's the most expensive Suzy Homemaker washer on the planet at $600.00, but I guess if you want two Soft-Close Lids, you're gonna have to pony up.
Downloaded the owner's manual and will read through it later today. |

It has been on the website for a couple of weeks but the manual was only released recently. As usual, Samsung's cycle description is really lacking. I wonder, why there was no pre-wash included some of the cycles. Yes, you would have to return to the washer to add detergent but still... I think a (almost) boil wash is better with a pre-wash.
Also notice how they say that the Super Sani cycle yields 60% better cleaning than Normal. |

If it is atachable to sink, dosen't this mean ATC is not implemented? |

It would be fun to play with. I am sure some will show up on the Atlanta Craigslist in a couple of years for $25 bucks. With any luck...it will still be working. I could think of many things to wash in it. B |

While searching for a Neptune, stumbled across what I assume is one of the Baby Washers. Already used, and judging from the picture, pretty damaged. CLICK HERE TO GO TO washingpowder's LINK on New York Craigslist |

Since this unit is designed to be an auxiliary washer the piggy-back connections to another washing machine's inlet and drain systems makes sense.
Given the stated purpose, laundering soiled diapers, it equally makes sense this washer's normal cycles are variations of hot to boiling. Otherwise the ewwwww factor would soon take over as the thing became a breeding ground for bacteria/germs. About four pounds is nearly one-third of what my Miele or AEG will hold (rated for eleven pounds of dry cottons or linens). That is a pretty decent sized load of cloth diapers. Mind you it really isn't a good idea to let soiled nappies sit around for long periods anyway. Most new mothers/housewives do so because of the PITA laundering the things are so they wait until a free moment comes along. Little "diaper washers" have been around going back to the 1940's or so. Like those units these Samsung washers will do a small family wash: lingerie, a few shirts, smalls, that sort of thing. It could even be a solution to doing small loads that cause many front loaders problems. For instance have given up doing small washes in the Miele. Big Bertha just cannot get them balanced property and begins spinning banging, clanging and vibrating along. Either use the Hoover TT or AEG Lavamat. The latter has a more sophisticated distribution/spin system that results in less unbalanced loads. Even then have found it is often simpler to use the Miele's "Permanent Press" cycle which does not spin between rinses. Simply take the water soaked laundry out and bung it into the spin dryer or use the mangle. |
