Installation is easy and hassle free. The machine can then be taken directly in operation. There are all sorts of programs and you are spoiled for choice, which now is because the right thing. (A glance at the manual helps as further immensely.) Temperature, spin speed and number of rinses can be varriiert to a certain extent. Frequently used settings saves the machine and sets it in a new program selection of yourself, which is very convenient. However, the machine for most programs take a long time, even if you set only 2 or 3 rinses. My old machine needed for a 60 degree cotton program about 2 hours, with the SpeedPerfect button only half. This button is missing on the Samsung machine Unfortunately, she needs for a 60 degree cotton wash 2 hours and 45 minutes. While there is not a quick wash program, but at 60 degrees and therefore eligible for towels etc. is not in question.
But most I miss the 15 minute program my old machine. Something similar has not the Samsung machine.
Basically, this machine is not bad. She washes (yet) reliably and the laundry is clean. If I, however, the price / performance ratio look at me, I was no worse off with my old, mid-priced machine.
