I have a Samsung washing machine picked me because my daughter has one and is super happy with it. However, it has a different model. I have specifically chosen this model, because of the good reviews from customers, as from Stiftung Warentest. Even if I wash so only been 2 days, so I'm already very satisfied. The "Installation" was a breeze. The program selection is self-explanatory. The number of programs is quite enough for me. The machine is very quiet during the wash cycle, the spin there is certainly quieter machines anyway so both can very well stand in the same room, in very good area. The end of the wash cycle is sealed with a song. Yet if this also unnecessary frills is, so it's fun and joy. In the recessions was written by poor extraction efficiency, I can not support at the moment, the laundry is well drained and very soft (without softener) from the machine. It was further reported in the recessions, the tangled small pieces of laundry in the groove of the drum and the wall porthole and are not in the wash, I can confirm that. Sorry! On the delivery I had to wait for 1 week, but folks, this was worth it. About the "longevity" of course I can not say anything yet. If there are problems, I'll get back to reporting. From me there is definitely a strong buy recommendation
