To all, I have raised five children and have done at least fifteen loads of laundry a week. I have owned a few different brands of washers and dryers - BUT - Samsung VRT model washer and fryer are the worse I have ever used. The washer and dryer came with the condo I live in, and I was so excited to have such good appliances. Much to my disappointment there is no way thye are energy efficient when it takes 44 - 70 minutes to do a load of laundry. The dryer is a bit better, but the wrinkle release mode does NOT release wrinkles. The dryer is quite noisey compared to other brands I have esperienced. I just had to post this, because I am so very disappointed in the Samsung washer and dryer.
