Washes clean, but ...

1. The window is incorrectly constructed. It is too small, so socks and other small clothes can slide into the sleeve at the front, are thus not washed and always lie in the puddle of water accumulate there. The only solution here is a laundry bag, which is impossible almost back at many socks.

2. Despite exact alignment and flat bottom during spin vibrate the plate casings left and right. Actually, the machine is very very quiet, but by the vibrations they will turn very loud. Pressing lightly on the sheets, the vibrations are gone. Presumably, these are not properly screwed or have too much tolerance.

3. In the compartment for the softener is permanent water. If one fills softener on running over the tray. The water can not be easily distributed. A real solutions we have not yet found here. If someone has a tip like to bring it :-)

4. The cover plate of our old washing machine was slightly longer, so they went up to the wall and has obscured the hoses and connections. This was very handy as could fall no laundry items when merging behind. Why Samsung has saved here is inexplicable.

5. The manual is insufficient. It will be explained in a minimalist way with pictures the most important functions. Since the machine but has a number of additional programs, my further explanation, when I should, for example, increase the number of rinses and mainly has an impact on the electricity and water consumption is still missing. Ökotipps there is also no.

In retrospect I would not buy this machine again. As I said it washes well, that would have a more favorable model but also done safely. By various design flaws, however, this machine is not suitable for me. In addition, the manual is insufficient. For power consumption, I can say nothing, because our old machine was 15 years old and as a reference should not serve. Without Ökotipps in the manual, the machine is safe but need much more than indicate in the energy label.
