Samsung WF0754W7V / WF0754W7V1 / WF0854W8E

Fire hazard – My machine did alright.. I've come home from school drop off to a retching smell of electricity burning smell, walked into the laundry to washing machine billowing smoke! Yikes! Unplugged, opened door and boy smoke just poured out so o shut it back up! I called my mum as I had no idea what to do in this situation (I'm 33) did as she told, while… Read more

keeping an eye on it called Samsung... not any help I asked what does one do when this happens.. apparently nothing! So it's been 5 or so hours now my house reeks of smoke and the clothes well I've had to toss them as they stink as well. Since I've been researching Samsung washing machines and boy have I learnt a lot! Like never to buy one again, YouTube is your friend here it's a common thing for Samsung washing machines to smoke and catch a light, something need to be done about this company and the metals no materials they use. I've got my tool box out and am ready to take it apart to see if it matches what all others have stated about these machines.

Fantastic machine – I bought this machine a week ago to replace my old Asko that had blown the motor for the second time in two years. The first thing I loved was the way that the cycles are programmed. You can really customise every cycle to suit the load that you have in the machine. I can fit a substantial amount of washing into each load, and the clothes come out… Read more ·  1

lovely and clean. The quick wash function will be great for freshening school clothes in the afternoon with as little as 15 minutes for a load. The low spin speed (800) will not be a problem as if clothes are too wet you can always do a separate spin cycle at 1200 if wanting to use the dryer. I love the Eco bubble setting, no soap residue on the clothes. I also love the small water holes in the door seal as the seal doesn't let any large items into the machine. My old Asko was forever being stopped mid cycle due to items as large as coins or hair clips being sent through to the emergency water release box. So far I have found a hair tie and cigarette lighter in the front of the door seal and the machine completed the cycle no problem. This would never have happened with the Asko. The first time I used that machine a hair tie got stuck in the works! Having two teenage daughters I have often had items such as hair ties, hair clips, false nails etc in the machine. The holes at the front of this machine are small enough not to let these through, also the seal seems to be designed to hold on to these items so that they cannot get " caught up in the works." I also love that you can choose the temp, spin and rinse cycles of every wash. The machine also turns itself off after fifteen minutes of not being in use which is great. I also love the pause function which allows for the door to be opened early in the cycle if need be. I did a per- wash load of whites which had some very dirty socks that my daughter had worn outside without shoes. They came out beautifully clean - which never happened with my old machine. Great mid- range price, attractive, quite, easy to program, very versatile, fast spin, very short quick wash, great sleeping bag " outdoor" cycle, good load capacity

From a Top Loader to a Front Loader – My Kleenmaid died after 20 years of use. Decided I would try a front loader this time so read reviews and checked them out at the store. I was tossing up between the LG, Bosch and Samsung. Went with the Samsung WF0754W7V1. Direct Drive. Up to 1400 spin speed which makes the clothes really dry and perfect to put in the dryer during the… Read more

continuous wet periods here in Queensland. Time delay so that you don't have the inconvenience of waiting (just program to be ready in the morning).

Dislikes: I find the way the wash cycles work in a front loader very odd. It is a 7.5kg machine but if I select certain programs you can only put in say 2kg of clothes. Only the cottons cycle seems to be able to have a full load. Have to get to know the machine more to get the best out of it. I know it decides how much water to use but its a little annoying as the water turns on and off all the time whilst it gets it right. Does the same thing in the rinse cycles whereas I think it should have worked out basically how much water was right from the initial fill. Clothes are more wrinkled than with the top loader even if I use 800rpm.

Love: How clean it makes the clothes (currently using Euco Bosisto's washing powder and vinegar in the rinse - this will look after the machine and is good for your skin and clothes). Sooooo quiet.

Happy with purchase so far and have had no problems with the machine. Quiet, cleans really well, water saving. Wash programs are confusing compared to a top loader

Good Machine backed by terrific customer service – Our machine had a major drive failure last year and was repaired under warranty. This year, nearly six years after purchase, the dispenser at the top of the machine started leaking. It was replaced today and again Samsung footed the bill. We very much like our machine but are particularly impressed with Samsung's outstanding customer service. Thank you Samsung. I'm pretty sure our next washing machine will be a Samsung.  Show details

4 years in .. Could be worse – This is my second Samsung front loader in 10yrs. In saying that, my first machine should've lasted longer than 5-6yrs. This second machine, after 3yrs started leaking from the top, left side. I called support and a technician came out. I was out of warranty but it was fixed for free as it was a manufacturing fault common in this model. I was… Read more

very relieved and thankful.

But honestly, I won't be purchasing a Samsung as my next washing machine.

Their fridges and microwaves seem ok. But I think they should just stick to electronics.

Excellent machine, even better service – I love my Samsung products, always bought Australian and always had trouble. Switched to Samsung approx. 10 years ago without a single problem. Unfortunately, my washer started leaking and was repaired today. Even though I believe the washer was deliberately damaged, the service person replaced the broken part, and covered it under warranty.… Read more

According to the retailer I purchased it from, my warranty expired 18 months ago.

This was exceptional service from Samsung and very much appreciated. I didn't realize this quality of customer service still existed, Thankyou Samsung.

Years of trouble ending in it catching fire! – Purchased this machine about 6 years ago, early on it was an alright machine. After a while the wash quality started to decline quite rapidly. The detergent box cracked after about 5 years which we got fixed. Just this weekend gone during a load of washing we heard a loud thud come from the laundry. I went in to see what it was and to my horror… Read more

saw that the machine was smoking a thick black smoke. Quickly disconnected it from the power outlet and dragged it outside where it smouldered for about 30 mins. I have no idea what the problem was but needless to say even if we got it fixed I am not risking my whole house burning down if it happens again. Just very fortunate we were home!

Money pit – Had all the same problems as the guy below . Split soap dispencer, Seal on door replaced twice and 1 year all times flooded my house . And was all fixed under warranty but now has stopped working again... Wont spin and computer goes crazy and stops working . Wont be fixing it this time . Heap of crap and so disappointed only got 4 years out of it and am not in a position to afford a knew mavhi e  Show details

Terrible machine. Replaced after only 4 years as i'm sick of fixing it – Sick of fixing this terrible machine, so i have replaced it and put on roadside pickup! Problems I had with machine. 1. Main control board died within a year, replaced under warranty. 2. Soap dispenser housing split and was spraying water throughout the machine and flooding the laundry - just out of warranty - samsung repaired as was a… Read more

manufacturing fault as the plastic had split at the plastic weld.

3. Inlet hose popped off, flooded laundry.

4. Outlet hose perished and split, had to repair with duct tape.

5. Outlet hose perished and split in another place - this was the final straw for me. - Should last longer than 4 years!

Other notes, didn't do a great job of washing clothes, was quite harsh on clothes and was noisy. Some buttons and door turned yellow over 4 years too. - All in all poor quality.

Love this machine and will be sorry when it packs it in – Extremely gentle on clothes. Removes any pilling from clothes (and great with wool). The machine chucks all the debris into the front seal making it easy to clean. Even if a tissue goes through the wash (usually a major disaster), it seems to just place it into the front seal. The most amazing washing machine I have ever had. The detergent tray is… Read more ·  1

also easy to remove and clean. Our machine is 8 years old and I'm starting to worry about it needing replacing, even though it seems to be going strong. Everything still works beautifully, including the nobs and door hinges. Timer is super easy to use. Set and forget.

Perfection of work – This washing machine is really a good product for home. We are using it everyday since last 5 years whithout any fault. Product features are excellent. Machine is handling all type of cloths very gently. This is star product of Samsung. Eco Bubble technology is excellent. This machine is also help to save water.  Show details

Soap box housing unit cracked – I loved this machine and recommended to several people but now 3 years on the soap box housing assembly has a crack in the top and the machine is leaking water everywhere. With parts and labour will cost nearly $300 to replace, definitely a design fault and very disappointing. The machine originally cost $750 and am now deciding whether it is… Read more

worth fixing as there is a good chance it will happen again. Will never recommend a Samsung again !! I now feel terrible to those I recommended and who bought this machine - hopefully it won't happen to them.

agree with Phil – I see the line has been discontinued. Story of my life. I was going to write a long funny positive bit about my love affair with my 6 months old Samsung 7.5lt Front Loader washing machine. But why bother you can't buy one. I am so happy with my new relationship having come out of a tragic and frustrated one with Westinghouse that I have… Read more

faith again in cheep Chinese manufactured products. See the other review they are all on the money with the exception of those who have expectations for long term relationships with their machines. That's not how it works in the real world and each day after 3 years you are still making the relationship work should be treasured.

Must go lots of fun washing to do. Now where is that dog!

Very good for an off grid solar setup - uber efficient – This is a long term review having had this unit for 5 years. I never use the eco bubble feature but find cold washing is very efficient and the power consumed is around 150 watt hours per cycle. If you have an off grid setup with a good quality sine wave inverter these direct drive front loaders are a good choice if you dont use the inbuilt heater… Read more

( ie cold wash) .One negative , liquid soap and liquid conditioner dispensers can not cope with liquids that are too thick in that it wont dispense properly . This is the only negative for a good machine , just use powders for washing and the thinner conditioners and you cant go wrong

Great machine....broke after 4 years! – As with most modern appliances, they work wonderfully (as you would expect when you pay good money for them). However, after 4 years of using this machine the "spider" broke and couldn't be repaired because Samsung discontinued supply of this particular part - this is why I give this machine a rating of Bad. To be honest, there was nothing special… Read more

about this machine - it washed the clothes and that was it. One major issue was that, despite levelling the machine on the floor using a spirit level, it vibrated like hell and rattled the windows. I'd never purchase a Samsung front loader again due to the vibrations and the lack of technical support when things go wrong.

very good machine – Very good, but it takes to long to go through its programs, otherwise good for staff , because of no ironing, we have had machine for around 2 yrs about

Great washing machine - reliable and great value – Great washing machine - reliable and great value Owned for nearly 3 years, no issues at all. Quiet and efficient with water and electricity.

Terrible machine and customer service – Very loud and now house electrical safety switch has gone with smoke coming out. Samsung say caused by a rodent chewing wire although no dead electrocuted rodent to be seen. Of course this is a warranty exclusion.

Broken and cannot be fixed – Unfortunately my Samsung 7.5 kg front loader washing machine broke down just before 3 years ownership. It couldn't be repaired due to being discontinued and no replacement parts were available. They offered to replace the machine with an 8 kg machine or refund my money. I took the money as I expect a machine to last longer than 3 years. It… Read more

cleaned the clothes very well and was very happy with the results and programs available. It's broken down just before 3 years ownership. Had a few problems with refund but it has been resolved.

After 2yrs use upgraded to good – Note still going strong after two years of continual use. Only had it 2 months but fingers crossed it's still working. To be honest I think we should have bought the Fisher and Paykel instead. Takes a long time to do a wash and despite the large door and 7.5kg capacity it doesn't take much load and only recommends 7.5kg on the really long wash… Read more ·  1

settings. Actual energy use is more than our old top loader. Not sure what the fuss is about really!

Long wash times - filter hard to empty

Great machine and great service – I've had have this machine for more than 1 year now. It's efficient and very reliable. I had 2 small issues over this time, and both were promptly repaired by Samsung service on the warranty. The same technician was sent to fix both issues. With his experience, he could diagnose and solve the problems in less than 5 minutes. I'm very happy with both the machine and Samsung service. Reliable machine and good service

Very good – We've had our machine for 18 months now (we have a family of four). No problems at all, washes very well and offers a wide variety of settings - more, in fact, than one is likely to use. It is very quiet, and the drum cleaning cycle is very useful. Offers good value for money, no hesitation in recommending.

excellent machine sometimes want to hug it – I am so pleased with this machine. It is quiet, user friendly, reliable and washes the clothes very well. I was hesitate changing from a top loader but I am very impressed. easy to user interface, lots of options, the washes can be set to a short wash which is great for every day. easy, reliable, great interface, washes very well can't think of any

WAS an amazing machine – A flat mate of mine did a load of washing, and found the door seal damaged after the cycle. a hole had appeared in the seal, about the size of a 20 cent piece. Thinking that she had caused the damage by trapping a piece of clothing in the door, (which wouldn't be covered under warranty), I called an appliance repair company to replace it. When he… Read more

was repairing the machine, he said it wasn't our fault, it was the machine. He then stated he repairs these machines (Samsung) all the time! After the repair, I opened and closed the door to see if the repair was all fine. Then I hear a crack, the door handle completely broke away from the door, rendering the machine useless!

A few month after purchasing, the machine also needed the drum shaft seal replaced. This is the seal between the drum and the motor at the back of the machine. It had folded over, causing a squealing noise during the wash and rinse phases. In total, the machine has had 3 failures, and with this third one, it's out of warranty. Consumer (NZ) released results for an appliance reliability survey, and guess what. Samsung washing machines are rated 'below average' for reliability. One of my deciding factors when purchasing this machine, is that they were rated 'average' for reliability. Seem they have slipped down in the polls. I am now going to have to go back to the retailer to probably battle it out, to see if they will repair it. I'm hoping I can get my money back, but i'm doubtful. Very disappointed. Seriously, do they make anything like the used to anymore?!

Reliability is poor. One of the most important things of any appliance.

Amazing machine cleans my clothes to like new quality! – Fantastic machine, cleans clothes to like new quality, and with 1400rpm it spins the clothes nearly dry so no more long waits with drying time, I have three young kids that become quite grotty and there clothes are so nice and clean its just amazing I was shocked at how well it worked. :-) Brilliant results, 1400rpm and Eco bubble technology.

Great Machine – This machine was beyond my expectations. I was told when i was purchasing it, that I would have to do a hot wash with no clothes inside the washer every 2 or 3 months when a light was to light up. I was abit agitated by this, but this has never happend and I have had the washer for almost 1 year. The machine washes great, clothes smell excellent..… Read more

Can bearly hear it working, fast, and the 1400 revolutions per minute is perfect for winter, literally making the clothes dry before you even take them out. Will find it difficult to clean thick and bulky items such as our quilts

Dream machine – After heaps of research we decided to go front loader from a top loader. I'm so glad we did as its a wonderful machine. We are a family of 6 & it's plenty big enough for us. Love the hand wash feature & being able to do a quick wash for just a few things. It has also saved us a fortune in water consumption & it takes less washing powder then a top… Read more

loader.. Its attractive design has made my laundry look very modern. I'm very happy :-) Washes so clean & clothes always smell so beautiful & fresh Doesnt fit my queen size quilt, that's the only down fall

Glad I chose the Samsung! – I purchased this machine 2 weeks ago from Harvey Norman, the sales guy tried to talk me into an Italian brand that I had never heard of and I quickly looked up some reviews and they were terrible, so I played it safe and got the Samsung. I'm really happy with it. I was confused when it came with only 1 hose to be connected to the cold tap but I… Read more ·  1

discovered that it heats the water to the required temperature. I also love that it has a count down clock so you know exactly when the load will be finished. For a machine that is probably mid to low end of the price range I'm very happy with the product that I've got. the count down clock, spins really well cutting down drying time.

Washes well, and water efficient but have had many quality issues – I bought a brand new 8.5 kg Samsung bubblewash in December 2011 from the rave reviews online about it's superior wash - and it has not failed to deliver in that department. Clothes always come out smelling and feeling clean, and cycles are not harsh on delicate fabrics. However we have had a bad run with this model quality wise. 3 days after our… Read more

first washing machine arrived, we got a '4e' error message on the unit and it stopped working. My husband opened it up and checked the filter as per what the user manual said, and filter was fine- no blockages or debris in there, but still gave '4e' error. Called Samsung, and they sent out a technician who confirmed we had a faulty unit that was not allowing water to come into the machine due to a faulty valve. They wanted to send it off for repairs, but i wouldnt accept that outcome with a 3 day old machine ( and mounting dirty washing) so thankfully I contacted Harvey Norman and the next day they took the faulty unit and gave us another as a replacement. Now 3 months later we are having issues again, it used to be so quiet but now is extremely loud ( like a loud knocking) during the spin cycle and have no idea why. Also, the silver ring cover on the front of the door has come undone too. its just not good enough for a $1400 washing machine, and to be honest not sure if I will purchase Samsung again because its proven to be unreliable. Water efficient, washes well, great wash options Quality issues

Impressive! – I felt compelled to write this review after I just washed 4 jumpers together - 1 wool, 2 cashmere and 1 cotton/silk on the 'handwash' cycle on this machine. I just pulled them out and everything is fine. Phew! In fact they are all washed well, but carefully and I am really impressed that this machine did not make the garments feel like they were… Read more

boiled or over-treated. Every time I use this machine it does a superb job. Great on big jobs like linen and towels as well. Efficient, has a pre wash cycle, I can adjust the spin speeds It was a little pricey, but well worth the money

Outstanding – We have been using this for 6 months now, and it's outstanding. The quickwash programmes are great for freshening up clothes in 20 minutes! the 8.5Kg model swallows a doona no problems. Washes really well and is SO quiet. Very happy with this washer and cannot recommend it highly enough Getting this home too was a sinch, I was surprised at how light the machine is! quiet, and quickwash programmes are fantastic  Show reply

Affordable price with excellent quailty – I bought this machine about 7 months ago and I did refer to the comments of earlier users from various websites including this one. So, I have to thank some of earlier users with frank & impartial comments. Overall, the review was quite good but there was few cases of leaking and compalints about bad services which made me worry for a while but… Read more ·  3

after 3 weeks of intense investigating, I bought this model (8.5kg) as I tend to wash quilted blankets from time to time.

The result of washing has been really good, esp. soaking function with delayed timer (removed most of stains and you can run your washing machine when the electricity charges are the cheapest during the off peak time) and I found that I was missing emergency drainage hose but when I contacted service centre, they booked me for a service visit and replace the part - no problem at all. Has been reliable for last 7 mths with affordable price and I really like the soaking function with delay start -

So far so good – We transferred to a front loader when we renovated our laundry and at the time this model (Eco bubble wash 7.5kg) was so new I found very little feedback online. But we took a punt as the features and dimensions were perfect for us and it was on sale and it has been great so far one year in. Key features we like - direct drive technology -… Read more ·  10

super fast spin, clothes come out really quite 'dry'

- has a cold water cycle option (lots dont't)

- great quick wash options (15 -55 min options)

I have done more washing this year than ever in my life due to being on maternity leave with a reflux baby in a sporty household!! I do about 4 cycles a day and it has never missed a beat. I find the daily wash function (55 mins with fast spin) the most efficient as the quick washes only spin at 800rpm. i was shocked to find that the 'Eco' features require really long cycles so we have never ever used unfortunately. White Bedding is the only thing i do on the longer cycle with some napisan as a pre-wash. Comes out really white.

Clothes clean well even on the quick cycles and business shirts definitely get less damaged than in my old top loader. Baby stains all come out easily except pumpkin.

The only downside is that the door seal gets mouldy but I think this is symptomatic of most front loaders from what I gather. It did say in the manual that you can stop and add things in the first 2 mins but we have never found out how this feature works! It would be handy !!

obviously I can't compare with any other front loader but it does the job and I would recommend. Direct drive, good range of quick washes, cold water function Mouldy door needs to be left open

The best washing machine. Highly reccomend – Truthfully I luv this machine. I bought this machine via these reviews and am very glad I did. I got the 7.5 kg for $720 which I was happy with. It was easy to set up. I found the instruction manual easy to use. It has a 54 min daily wash which I use most of the time. The longer 2 hour wash is great for hubbies dirty greasy clothes. Before this I… Read more

have always had top loaders but I find the clothes come out much cleaner in this front loader. I convinced my sister in law to buy one and she thinks its great also. Easy to use. Can program my favorite wash. Has a wider door making it easier to take clothes in and out. I use half as much powder now than my old top loader. I can fit a queen size doona in it (only on 400 revs though). I also do a daily load of modern cloth nappies daily and they come out great no ammonia smell yet. The rubber at the bottom is slightly curved in a U shape and I find it gets bubs socks stuck in there and they don't wash then. Also I've only had it for three months so I hope it is reliable and lasts forever (but I'll have to see).
