4.2 Cu. Ft. Capacity Front-Load Washer
Washer capacity has a direct impact on how much time you spend doing laundry. Greater tub size means fewer loads, and fewer loads means more time doing other things you love. With a washer capacity of 4.2 cu. ft. - or 2.8 laundry baskets - you'll save up to 3 hours on laundry every week.

Steam Wash
Samsung's Steam Wash cycle has been engineered to improve the cleaning quality of your wash. Unlike other washers which release steam from above, Samsung releases steam from the bottom of the laundry tub, saturating every item in the load and leading to an even deeper clean with no pre-treatment necessary.

NSF Certified Sanitize and Allergen
Their sanitize and allergen cycles eliminates up to 99% of bacteria and kills up to 95% of allergens in each laundry load. Eliminate pet dander and dust mites from your clothes with the sanitize/allergen feature.

VRT Technology
Samsung's patented VRT technology reduces noise an incredibly low level. Its innovative tub design balances heavy loads quietly and with ease. Upstairs laundry has never been less obtrusive - run your washer upstairs while your children sleep.

Self Clean+
Their new Self Clean+ technology keeps the washer tub fresh by removing dirt and bacteria. Self Clean+ also sends reminders to clean the tub every forty wash cycles and even sanitizes the gasket.

Smart Care
Skip customer service and troubleshoot issues straight from your smartphone. Smart Care interacts with your washer and dryer to perform an immediate diagnosis and offer quick solutions.
