What does bespoke even mean? Why is this society so stupid when it comes to laundry? Why do they KEEP CRAMMING everything into a single load? |

![]() Bespoke = (a) custom-made; (b) dealing in or producing custom-made articles. Samsung is using it as a marketing label for a line of kitchen and laundry appliances and stick vacuums. Definition of bespoke at Merriam-Webster online |

![]() With Samsung having the worst reliability out there in appliance-ville, I would greatly caution those who would be interested in purchasing them. They are also a headache to deal with warranty issues but that's pretty much across the board these days. Absolutely nobody cares about customer service anymore.
Yes, front loader users are overall very poor at separating laundry since their large drums are very enticing to throw everything in one load using one temperature (usually cold water) then complain about mold and mildew issues soon after. |

Large capacity machines in general are for people who are lazy. Many folks would complain my Whirlpool has a small capacity and to a degree it does however, I usually separate all my shirts from my shorts, to underwear and socks etc. and never have issues with anything. Even if I were to throw everything in so to speak, it would only equate to an extra large load in my Maytag A806 and A606. Definitely can squeeze just a tad more stuff in with the dual action load sensor agitator, but even then a weeks worth of my laundry isn’t all that much. Only reason why I separate everything is my shorts and socks get quite dirty from yard work every evening since I live on a acre of land compared to my shirts, if I were to throw everything in, wouldn’t end up with laundry that’s properly cleaned since it would be a little itchy afterwards.

Just to mention it’s not just FL users overloading machines it’s also TL users too thank you very much qsd-Dan.
The posts on here from one person are getting very tiring. Repeating the same crap over and over again on this forum isn’t going to change millions of people attitudes worldwide. I’m also sick of these people being branded as lazy. It’s becoming used as frequently now as the term eco n*** and frankly it seems to be grossly unfair and vulgar. I think a few people here need to educate themselves (Sean and Gerome) and realise we are only on this planet for a poxy 90 years if we are lucky. Life is precious. If you don’t enjoy doing laundry you are not going to spend time doing it. Period. Kids whining on this forum ain’t gonna change that either. Sean and Gerome need to get over it. People now also have to work long hours just to provide housing food and comfort for themselves while still Trying to enjoy the time they have on this planet. So what if they need a large capacity machine. It means they can do something they enjoy better with the time they save. Guys you seriously need to get a grip. It’s not all about you. |

I was reading some comments on a washer video and a lady said she's had her Samsung FL washer for 9 years and it's still working and she hasn't had issues. I responded to her and got the vibe that she knew how to do laundry..didn't overload and used hot water at times, left the door open, etc..
It made me wonder of a certain percentage (maybe a large percentage) of failure rates could be caused by users? Take the mold problems that took over the internet..we all know that's user error... Look how many there were and still are..I almost feel like there are actually a larger percentage of people that don't know how to do laundry properly than do... I could be wrong. But it wouldn't surprise me. And when you add to that that they make machines so much more cheaply now..depending on which side you're on... that could speed up or slow down failure.. I wondered too what Bespoke meant...I thought figured it was some marketing term like eco bubble. |

I just don't get it. People still chase after the "latest and greatest", only to find out the hard way that it's not what it really is. |

I agree with Maytag85. I call things as I see it. If you don't like it, too bad! I can beat a dead horse until I turn blue in the face. |

You have a lack of maturity by being combative and argumentative. If you don’t want younger people to say “Ok boomer” then quit acting like the stereotypical boomer who likes to be combative towards others and have this “I am older than you are, so I know more than you” attitude. Not picking on anyone, it’s just the truth and what I see.

Well Well Well.. Would you just look at this wash action? I don't think this is a Bespoke but it's called Samsung FlexWash...I think all that means is that it's one of those Front load washers with an extra washer...although the small washer isn't in this video. I couldn't believe the wash action...strong recirculation... interim spins, long spray rinses...LOTS of water... I know Samsung has different FL models so not sure all of them operate this way... but if they do...this was crazy...possibly even better than LG turbo wash.
I usually don't even bother clicking on any Samsung washer but I was curious becuase of the title and the thumbnail. CLICK HERE TO GO TO mark_wpduet's LINK |

mark, you need to understand that the user used the bedding cycle, which uses a lot more water, just like LG bedding cycle does the same thing. There may be a few minor differences, but the Protocall is the same.
You could not give me a Samsung washing machine, I'd take a Electrolux front loading machine any day before a Samsung, of any style they make. I don't care for their quality. |

Samsung incorporates ADA accessibility out of the box on their washers and dryers. There are dots on the control panels so the user can get around the touch screen buttons, as well as different tones to denote options such as temperature, spin speed, or soil level changes. However, Samsung isn't reliable enough for me to consider them as an option otherwise, which is a pity because as a blind consumer, the accessible controls would be a real benefit to me. No other manufacturer includes this as far as I am aware.

It just goes to show that corporate greed ruins everything. Just look at how cheaply everything's built. |
