I am responding to this in a washing machine repair service and thus had the opportunity also to a look behind the veneer. I regret to say that the price seems to me completely coated. Everywhere cheap plastic was used, the metal parts are thin and sharp-edged. The drum is made of the cheapest tin with punched holes, the subsequent friction costs to the textiles. The water pump is made entirely of the cheapest plastic, a Samsung part worth a few bucks !! I would say from the outside hui and inside pfui! The drum is never enough for 10Kilo laundering. I think this machine is completely unsuitable for families and the expected life can be assessed as low, at least for several days use during the week. If this machine offered for 250 euros, so this would be a reasonable price for the quality, so only one star for the successful design and beautiful display. No purchase recommendation!
