Differing information - demands!
Product soft at one point sharply and that the water protection!
For Samsung (here on the side) it is Aquastop YES, in the catalog of Samsung says Aquastop NO. A full water protection (with tub sensor) is not mentioned anywhere.
I suggest asking the dealer, he told me the engine would have been no Aquastop hose but an internal protection (When sensor), so it was in the description of the Samsung the dealer.
Upon request, the Samsung customer service was told the machine had AquaStop but no point sensor. So much for this info I went again to the trader who has checked and the machine was definitely delivered WITHOUT Aqua Stop! He contacted through it even customer service, who gave him the same information as me, whereupon the dealer had subsequently requested immediately from the Samsung distribution hoses and promptly (within a few hours) also got.
In short, Aquastop YES but only on request and probably only at the dealer! Whether the machine now has a point sensor remains unclear, the hose was important to me, however (he).
Setting up - something misleading depth indication
To place I will not say much here, a machine with almost 70 kilos is always a challenge, because no manufacturer can change what turn :-) The connections are easy to make. Only the fact that the shelf of the machine extends back only 2 cm above the machine ev. One criterion. The connections need namely about 5-6 cm space so that one bends nothing or squeezed thereby acquiring a significant gap between the wall and machine, which is different from other manufacturers, because you can move the machine almost to the wall. Thus, the otherwise shallow depth of the machine is put into perspective a bit because you lose by that fact a few cm.
Commissioning:
Lt. Instructions should be before the first use, the ev. After the test remove remaining residual water by adding a little detergent in the box, turn on the machine and start pushing. OK, I was thinking the machine would then start a special program (it is to choose none of a particular program). So I've done that but when you turn the machine jumps automatic. on the cotton program which then takes about 1 1/2 hours. I figured that's can not be just to old water pump off and flush the system. I then started a rapid program (15 minutes), that should be enough.
The core values of the machine:
With 8 kg capacity machine for households with 3-4 people is well suited thanks to fuzzy logic it does not matter if sometimes less ends up in the drum. Note: Almost all specialty programs require a smaller load. So you should at Jeans or Easy care wash only max. 2 kg loaded. Thus the 8 kilos lapsed again. However, probably, the most in any case use the cotton program, most garments tolerate Wash well and thus the weight restriction is not so relevant. Course, if you have only jeans or wool sweaters then there will ev. Closely.
When energy consumption, the machine A +++ must not hide, in energy consumption, A in the washing effect, what more could you want. The spin efficiency is again a point which differs depending on the product description (time A and time B) a have the information but in common, residual moisture 52%. With "only" 1200 Tours is a good performance because some other manufacturers create in 1400 and even 1600 tours only 52%. I am pleased with the results.
As already indicated above, there are many special programs that you need them and which does not have any knowledge itself. We usually use the energy-saving program and the 15th minutes quick program (eg for T-shirts that simply times must be precisely rinsed). The remaining programs rarely find what it is applying but good that they exist (for example, hand wash).
A function which is perhaps important, is the "program end" prefix, here can be the end of a wash program to a specific time set in the future and that are to 19 h. So you can in the morning filling the machine and end at 9 h make to the machine when you come home from work, dispel. Thus, preventing the wrinkling of the laundry and also the emergence of bad odors.
Operation / Ergonomics:
The machine has a main control element, the program dial, as with many manufacturers can thus select the predefined wash programs. If one finds already the right in the proposed programs then you need really just the wheel (digital) turning up there and then press the start button, otherwise there right still a manageable number of (large) keys to eg spin speed, temperature or additional functions to choose.
Very handy auto-lock the keys is to start the wash cycle, so will prevent that you accidentally moved something. In our old machine has our little often something moved while the machine was running that gave from time to time problems with the electronics which then did not know what. If the program can so only the ON / OFF button and the Start / Pause button is pressed. Need to modify a program so subsequently you first press pause and then as before change on the dial or the modifier keys the program. Pressing the start / pause button starts the "new" program.
There is also a child lock, so can be at any time (including when no program is running) ALL Keyguard. Very convenient if you used the machine for example with end of program code, we can now not be moved.
Who the acoustic signals, which are admittedly "pushy", not like the can also disable this hotkey. Practical.
The loading of the machine is easy thanks to the large drum opening, however, a bit unusual because the drum while a large diameter but has a small depth, you have the laundry pile up so rather than stuff. But should not be a significant disadvantage. When removing one gets the clothes for it also much easier from the machine!
Should the machine must be emptied once has Samsung thought along here too, there is in addition to the foreign body trap the bottom hinged cover and a hose for draining, so the pan can be emptied quite comfortable and without spilling. Caution should be exercised when you emptied the machine eg after an aborted program since then is quite a bit of water out (but it should be clear).
Volume - questionable item?
Who, like me, looking for a quiet machine is tempted to compare the recently advertised for many manufacturers db (A) information. That's not a mistake but I could not figure out whether there a (at least EU-wide) standard is how those values are determined. According to dealers did not exist only for dishwasher but washing machines. Although but the new energy label provides this information a standard for measuring I could not find. As long as no one can tell me if there is this will I regard the information as worthless since everyone can test as he wants.
Samsung are for this model values of 56/75 dB (A), which is upon the values of eg Siemens lying in the middle class models with 51/75 dB (A). Now if you come back to the db (A) Information slightly apart then you will find out that this figure is a mere technical, so he says nothing about the volume of feeling! As a rule of thumb: 10 dB more sound pressure correspond roughly twice as loud perception. A difference of 4 db accordingly so would be much higher / lower to evaluate.
I made myself a picture, I'll be brief. The engine is, if you are not 10 cm in front of the machine squats heard in the washing operation can not! Every whisper is louder, guaranteed! What you hear is the water running in the machine, the laundry and the rippling water in the machine. Really audibly the pump during pumping and the pump is used for the foam activated function works. If you switch from active foam would be the machine virtually noiseless. During spinning, the machine runs fairly quiet depending on the load and the noise is not unpleasant. Here Samsung certainly did not lie with the 75 db (A). The 56 db (A) Samsung has written down my opinion honestly beating, would be measured without foam active would the volume certainly much lower. I'm going to do a self-test)
Wash performance / spin speed:
The washing effect As mentioned classified with A, so good, I can not add anything. The laundry is clean, all I can expect. As I can not say it looks with problem spots, I had been fortunately not;)
When rinsing the machine makes everything right, you can set individually up to 5 wash cycles, standard are 2 very gratifying, it is only slightly ejected, then rinsed and then thrown back, which removes find the detergent residue very well as I do. Other manufacturers have here a shortcoming that should be aware of just people with sensitive skin.
The spin efficiency was different given (as already mentioned), I found the laundry when dry enough but I also do not give the clothes in the dryer is not really important to me. The less laundry indoors is the drier it is, of course. What I noticed positive, the laundry is quite loose from the machine, which is partly due to the drum structure and the other on "loosening transition" after the spin cycle. The machine circulates the wash after spinning around again properly.
Conclusion:
The machine is around good if you want AquaStop it is essential to check with the retailer and ev. Point out the inconsistent information!
Volume I feel (with foam action function) as OK.
The paid by me price of 449, - I can recommend the machine clear.
More than 600 but not sure I would pay, so I have to be honest. Not because it is not worth it, but Samsung is no size when it comes to washing machines, because I trust well-known manufacturers and their devices are more at 650-800 depending on the equipment.
