On the weekend friends of mine moved into a new home they had designed & built so of course I had to go over yesterday and get the tour. Upon entry I noticed the Samsung washer & steam dryer in the laundry room. What does everyone think of the top loader? In the kitchen they have top of the line Kenmore appliances - full size side by side refrigerator and freezer - they are separate units but look like one unit, double wall ovens, dishwasher, microwave and an LG 5 burner gas (propane) cook top.

My room mate just got that Samsung washer, as his Whirlpool Cabrio died (thank god) after 5 years. I was frustrated to see it when it was delivered, but I do have to tell you all, It is much better than the Cabrio. It usus more water and the agitation is not rough and harsh as the Cabrio. I actually like this machine. Cycles are a little longer, but overall I'm pleased and it does a good job. Still wish he had gotten a front loader though.

at first I didn't think the Calypso's wash motion actually rolled the clothes over either......but I found out by accident thru a time lapse video I did once that the load does rotate counterclockwise and roll around....
the boucing is really gentle, as well as thorough, that concentrated detergent waterfall is a big help in keeping the load saturated.....there's roughly 3 gallons of water at work here per fill up, this is what I call efficient use of water, and very effective cleaning.....the WhitestWhites cycle is the best!....not to mention the HandWash is better than doing by hand in a sink.... best described as washing your hands, first you lather up, with a concentrate of soap and a little bit of water, rubbing together for some friction, and then flushing all the residue away with several rinses! think of it as rinsing vegetables in a colandar under running water, and your tossing them around allowing the dirt and water run thru..... an added help is anywhere from 3 to 4 rinses, plus spin sprays..... once you play with one in person, you will fully understand why I think its one of the best HE TLers out there...... come to the WashIn Gary, and I'll show you! |

Consumer Reports: The Samsung WA50F9A8DSP scores a 74, which ranks high in their list of tested top-loaders. It is rated Very Good at cleaning, Excellent for capacity, Good for noise, and Good for gentleness to fabrics.
For comparison's sake, the top-ranked top-loader is the LG 1101CW which has no back panel. The controls are on the front, as they were on several of the very first automatics. With a score of 77, it is rated Very Good at cleaning, Excellent for capacity, Very Good for noise, and Very Good for gentleness to fabrics. |
