"Great machine, we can barely hear it when it's on and it sends you a notification when it's done. It also changes the duration of the cycle if things dry early so good energy saver as well. Also looks good as far as a tumble dryer goes!"
"Going from an old dryer, which I had for over 10 years, this Samsung model is a massive leap.
The first thing to note is that the machine has a water tray. At first I thought that was odd but it is because this is used to collect the water from the clothes while drying after they have been washed. You also have the option to connect the waste water pipe to a waste outlet, similar to how you would connect up a washing machine. This takes over from the water tray if connected.
Operation of the machine is a simple affair. Tune the dial to whichever setting you require and off you go. There is also a timed option should the preprogrammed settings are not to your own requirements. Oh, and I should also mention that the machine, once it has completed the cycle, will play a little tune when it's done. And if that isn't enough, how about a direct notification to your phone? It is WiFi enabled and works with Samsung's own Smart things software via my Samsung phone. (Disclaimer: I don't know if it works with other devices like iPhone or iPad).
I'm not sure how the technology works but what I do know is that it is way more efficient than my old machine. Being triple A rated it shows a difference in power consumption and I am yet to see my smart meter display flick into the red zone while the machine is in operation, much like my old unit prior. Instead it hits the orange zone so like for like, this machine is definitely more energy efficient.
When the machine is running it is fairly quiet. I believe it uses some kind of technology to gauge the load and make its operation more smooth, for want of a better word. Older type dryers just start off by spinning in one direction, pausing for a second or two before spinning in the opposite direction. This would continue to happen until the timer ran down to zero. With this Samsung dryer it spins a couple of times first before continuing its cycle. The machine will then proceed to dry the clothes accordingly and it will do it well. The clothing, once dry, comes out feeling much better in this machine than in my old one. They don't seem to be as rigid, if that is the best description, but instead feel softer to the touch. I know they definitely iron much easier than before.
Overall I can say that I am very happy with my purchase. The machine is quiet, efficient and it looks good too. The WiFi aspect doesn't bother me so much as I only operate the machine when I'm home but at least it is an option I could use should I forget to turn it on when I nip out."

"Excellent product, really surprised on how quite the machine is whilst in operation. Quick and simple to setup wireless function is a great touch
1st heat pump machine I’ve used, very gentle on your clothes compared to most dryers where you tend to lose colour "
"First heat pump dryer i’ve had and i’m very impressed. It is pretty quiet compared to normal dryers and gets the clothes dry in one cycle unlike my old condenser dryer. "
"Brilliant product
Purchased to replace an old White Knight tumble dryer. Technology has moved on a long way!
This Samsung is incredibly efficient, it has a light inside it and it even switches off automatically once the load is dry.
We are very impressed

"This drier is brilliant. Dries well and quickly. Very energy efficient too. Clothes come out smelling washed, whereas some driers leave clothes smelling funny. I’ve not used it in WiFi yet "
