Comments (18)1. There will be a sense of disconnection Smartphones have dramatically changed the way we communicate with other people. They made it easier and more accessible. Technology used to limit us as we were forced to languish in front of a landline while waiting for a call. Today people have become much closer to each other. Now, in order to talk with the desired person, a couple of touches on the smartphone are enough. However, the absence of this miracle gadget will make you feel separated from the world, which often leads to an acute feeling of loneliness. In addition, you may succumb to incessant boredom. 2. It will become harder to navigate without GPS The days of people using maps to get to the right place are almost gone. All smartphones are equipped with GPS, which helps us to reach our destination without much difficulty and wandering. Life has actually become much easier thanks to GPS, because this navigator shows us the right direction right down to the smallest turn. Therefore, in the absence of access to the global system, many people will not be able to correctly and quickly navigate in an unfamiliar area. Navigators have become such an integral part of our lives that most travel enthusiasts and those who often go on business trips can hardly imagine their lives without a smartphone with its indispensable GPS....See Morereview of samsung washer dryer dv457evgsgr/wf457argswr
Comments (14)OK, I have an issue that does not allow me to purchase without over researching a product. So I did consider a few brands. I really like Miele, and they do have a larger unit. Nothing like the size of these, but I don't think you need something as big as these Samsung units to wash a comforter. Although I keep going back to Miele, the issue of their warranty and the lack of local people to sell and service the units takes them out of the running. I did look into Asko, but the small size and the bad reviews (over many years) makes them just an interesting read. I had a hard time deciding between LG and Samsung. I chose Samsung because of their Diamond drum technology. Although I was unable to find out much about it, it was similar to the honeycomb drum idea of Miele. That really closed the deal for me. I really felt that more manufacturers should have put more into their drum designs and make that information available. Sadly, only two lines have taken drum technology seriously and serious enough to flaunt it to the public. I ended up with the largest Samsung units because of the steam and the internet connectivity. (And frankly the deal I got.) I was hoping that if there was a problem, Samsung could just hook into the machine and tell me what is wrong. I'm not sure they can do that, but they can certainly update the units over the wireless. I would say that I was also impressed with the anti vibration technology. I wish they had explained the difference between the regular antivibration and the upgraded antivibration of these units. I imagine it is some computer sensing thing. I was also impressed with the warranty on the motors and the 2 year warranty. Oh, I just registered my units and got an additional 3 months warranty for registering. Thanks Samsung. I would add an extra year on my own by purchasing with Amex and eliminating the purchase of extended warranty. I looked into Speed Queen because they are American. Solid units but lack the modern technology and efficiency I was looking for. Rough sturdy brutes was all I could imagine from what I could find out about these products. I think the companies do themselves a disservice by not putting out all the information they can on their products. This is one case and point. I went as far as looking into purchasing commercial units, but when all is said and done, I felt that the Samsung units were a better deal. Service and warranty work is much different for commercial than on consumer models. Here is a really cool washing machine I found that I really wanted to get. I have a friend in CA who used to own Laundry Mats. He said, "That's a commercial unit. What do you need a commercial unit for?" Well, it looks so cool and is so well engineered etc. It was too much of a machine for my needs, but I really would have loved to have one. The Crossover Washer. (http://www.laundrylux.com/crossover.html) The world's first small chassis washer engineered to commercial laundry standards for your business needs. I think for the person who wants to have what no one else has, these units would be an interesting choice. Here is some more information on the Crossover: 3 Engineered to be superior to all competitors 3 15,000 cycle machine life design 3 3 OPL liquid chemical injection ports and signals 3 3 compartment soap drawer 3 4 professional wash programs + 2 cycle options 3 Field adjustable water levels 3 Top quality SKF bearings in heavy duty assembly 3 3 seals with 5 lips 3 Professional grade 8-point suspension 3 Pump-drain standard 3 Solid steel counter-weights�no concrete 3 Energy Star compliant The costs were about 2,000 a piece or less from what I remember. Stunningly beautiful beasts these are. They are made I believe by LaundryLux. I also looked at Miele Little Giants. Just amazing little laundry units, but way out of my price range for what I want to spend. I think these are made for people with yachts. These are also stunningly beautiful. The bottom line is I spent months looking at units. For me, with the space that I had and the money I wanted to spend, I settled on the Samsung. I had to use my Samsung units again tonight as the baby had an "out of diaper" experience. Not something for the faint of heart. Loved I could go and select sanitize on the computer screen and choose extra rinses and steams and prewashes and super hots etc. If they had nuclear radiation I would have chosen that too, but as of now, it is not an option on my units. I got a 3 hour cycle and trust me that is exactly what the job called for. I think I'm very happy right now with what I purchased. Look, as long as the darn units stay working without needing service etc, anything you buy will be fine. Again, I'm not happy about having to stand on a stool to see the dryer screens, but it really is not a big problem. The anti vibration on these really works great and the noise level is very good. The calming music the machines play to signal the end of the cycle is still OK with me and I'm not ready to beat the machine to death if it plays that tune one more time. Just if anyone wants to see how these machines do on a soiled white one piece baby garment, here is how it just came out of the washer. I don't think I can believe how clean and white this is. You cannot see where the mess was. I have had experience in the past with my other machine where the white clothing was stained yellow after such an incident. All I used was about 1/4 of the recommended amount of ECOS plus natural liquid from Sam's and a tiny amount of delft liquid softener. No bleach. I did hit it with some Oxy prewash spray before putting it in. Look, I have a laundry upstairs that I am doing. I decided to make it a "sound proof" room because of my experience with my old front loader. It was loud! Probably had gotten worse over the years because the bearings were going. So I double sheet rocked with green glue and put heavy clay on the backs of the electrical boxes. I put in a sound proof floor which I am waiting to tile right now. Well, I did all this because of my fear of the noise I would get from the front load machines. I think had I placed these Samsung units upstairs, the sound proofing would have been overkill. I'm hoping the GE unit I have for upstairs will be as quiet. I bet most of the better machines will be quiet. I think that the other companies caught up with Meile and have incorporated many of the concepts and bring these machines at a value price. Will they last the 20 years Miele says theirs will? I don't know, but these machines have a longer warranty then Miele and they can be found everywhere. This means that your chance of getting service should be good....See MoreHow/where do I add OxiClean to my TOP-loading, HE washing machine?
Comments (39)Your Oxi product pictured is a powder, yes? As stated in responses above several years ago, the instruction is based on an assumption of liquid detergent and powder oxi ... which combined can form a chunky/goopy mixture that won't properly dissolve and flush out of the dispenser drawer or cup. Don't combine any liquids and powders together in a dispenser cup/reservoir that holds the dosage for the dispenser to be flushed with water. A frontloader detergent dispenser (and some toploaders with a drawer dispenser) typically has a reservoir cup or a dam piece that holds liquids from running out prematurely, until the incoming water flow overflows the compartment and flushes out the product, then (usually) a siphon tube drains the residual water. The cup or dam is removed for powders since they won't run out the back, the powder sits in the compartment until the water flow flushes it out (overflowing the cup or hold-back dam). A heavier goopy combination of liquid+powder sitting in the cup or blocked by the dam doesn't flush and/or dissolve readily. If you're using liquid detergent and powder oxi (or powder detergent and liquid oxi), then do not mix them together in your frontloader's dispenser. Liquid detergent and liquid oxi, or powder detergent and powder oxi (with the reservoir cup or hold-back dam removed) can be mixed together. If you're not sure, then follow the oxi directions and place liquid or powder detergent alone into the dispenser, and liquid or powder oxi directly into the drum....See MoreKick me, I bought a Samsung.
Comments (28)I have owned a total of 3 Samsung HDTV's from the my original 50" DLP to a couple of 40" LCDs. All of my Samsung HDTV have failed in part or in whole. I don't trust Samsung at all, what do you expect from a company that makes devices are banned on all flights. Even their marketing is a blatant duplication of previous Apple's commercials - it's like they have zero original ideas - and this has happened on numerous occasions Our Samsung Washer and Dryer went kaput too early as well. We did buy an extended warranty from Sears, which was useless The repair man came out and said the part that was needed from Samsung was back ordered at least 2-3 months and Sears would call me when they get it in. I said hell no, and told him to come back in a few days, because I ended up buying the required part online myself from a 3rd party, had it shipped overnight, and had it installed by the repairman that same week Now I have top the line 3 Electrolux appliances that will be going to the top of the scrap heap. We are currently shopping for their replacements, All of the Electrolux alliances were manufactured between Oct 2010 to Jan 2011 and put into service around June 2011 The Electrolux slide in range induction cooktop has failed multiple times since our ownership but it finally graduated to total failure with an estimated $1400 possible fix (Error E31) The Speed oven has sparking issues, malfunctioning door handle, it's been repaired once at a cost of $550 and it's a daily finger crossing and prayer to get door open, to see it will fail or hopefully not spark The Electrolux fridge interior lighting, consist of two incandescent bulbs have burnt two holes in the top of the fridge compartment - the freezer track has broken pieces (I kept it working- don't know how), and an early sign of the quality was the plastic trim that cracked, broke and started to fail in first year, The lastedlst issue is the freezer has an ice build up issue that requires manually breaking up a sheet of ice every 2-3 days so it doesn't leak all over the floor when it melts. I like to refer to this as my second ice maker The sad thing is that I have seen this exact fridge rebranded as a Viking and Aga with the same 2010 light bulbs that melted my fridge. At least some current models now use cool LED lights My recent shopping experience has taught me to closely examine up and down every unit, looking for manufacturing dates and their locations, and any signs of design/parts that that indicate which brands share the same manufactures. After seeing the Viking fridge last week in. showroom floor, I broke out in cold swears knowing what it really is, the same terrible 2010/11 Electrolux Fridge At the moment I have no faith in what I'm buying next. BTW I'm glad i didn't buy the extended warranty because it may have only helped in the case of the speed oven , can't recall at the moment when it was fixed. The $$$ on the EW would have been thrown out the window in my case. Even the repair guys scoffed at the quality of Electrolux and warned me of various issues they have seen...See More- 8 years ago
