The only genuine use I can think of for a washing machine app on your phone, is if the app can tell the washing machine that you've left your phone in the pocket of the trousers you're about to wash! Outside of that, I honestly just want an app free kitchen. It's getting ridiculous.
I'm definitely inclined to agree, I'm happy with smart home stuff in certain areas such as heating I can control remotely (like being able to turn it on before I get home) or smart lighting to give adjustable colours and colour temperature but a lot of the stuff is pretty pointless. My particular favourite is my dishwasher which is technically "smart" except it only supports NFC so if you want to use it from the app you literally have to pick the programme on the app, press a button on the dishwasher to put it into app mode then touch your phone to the NFC reader on the machine. It literally takes the same number of button presses on the dishwasher as it takes to just select a programme from the machine itself. (For the record, I didn't buy it for this feature, I just bought it as a cheap but decent looking dishwasher and it happened to have it)
@@camerongray1515 The sad thing is that NFC antenna and extra button for the "app mode", not to mention designing the app and the code that runs on the dishwasher, adds to the cost of the dishwasher, while being absolutely pointless. They knew it was pointless, yet force you to buy it anyway, just like a "smart" TV that doesn't run FireOS or Roku OS.
The app is pretty useful as it shows you the uodated time for your laundry from the original estimate. Also you get a notification when the machine is finished. So you don't have to keep checking up on it. Also any new programmes that samsung make will be added to the machine through WiFi and the app. Also you can track how much electricity the machine is using over the year. You are also shown best times to use the machine for your area to reduce your carbon emissions. I was not to fussed about the app feature when I bought my samsung series 9 dryer, but have found it useful since. It had a recipe feature where you tell it what type of clothes you have put in like socks, jeans, shirts, towels, etc. Then it creates a cycle based on the load.
I just installed the wash only version of that machine last week. 5+ auto dose [WW90T534DAN]. However, i don't seem to have the facility to overide the softner and detergent auto load. Which means if i have detergent for colours in the auto drawer, and i'm washing whites. There's no way to stop the coloured detergent from dispensing. If i try the manual section in the drawer, that might do the trick. Many thanks for the very informative demonstration. How are you finding the machine at this stage? Hold on, I just figured out the auto detergent and softner cancel method.
A few months ago we ended up having to get a new machine, as the old one developed a fault where it wasn’t draining the water (and so we ended up with a mess)
Hope you can help I got this machine yesterday and after being without a machine for a week due to delivery and fitting date I did a towel wash in the towel,programme but I filled both auto dispensers but did not go into the programme to choose that i wanted high dispense firstly would it still dispense both the detergent and conditioner automatically without me ensuring auto dispense was not off? The towels looked extremely clean but did not have a strong smell of conditioner is that because I had not gone in and set high if I use without auto dispense I put detergent into front section measured out and presume I still use the softener section that has lid but measure the amount I’d conditioner and make sure the auto dispense is switched off. Thanks for the video as apart from checking this auto dispense you made it easy for me to use immediately. Hope you respond soon have a weeks washing to catch up with 😌
Hi, just a quick one (before buying): the autodose only works with liquid detergent or shall I use the old good washing powder? If so, which is the place to fill with the powder? Thank you
You mean that your clothes don't smell of Comfort despite it being in the softener tank? You can change the amount of softener used from the settings under the "hand" button, you may just need to set this to a higher level if it's adding less softener than you normally would.
Hardwire the machine wire into an isolator switch socket and completely eliminate the plug. You know the type of socket with an orange light and a red switch 🎉🎉🎉
I could have done, although I'd rather have a plug to make it easier to disconnect the appliance in the future. You also absolutely wouldn't want to wire it into an "isolator switch" as this wouldn't contain a fuse to protect the flex, you'd need to use a fused connection unit.
Does this have a drying cycle, at all? I thpught it had some kind of steam setting which was like a mini dryer. Thanks a lot 🙏 (not sure if my one does have that additional detergent extra feature although it has the three compsrtments they just look different as they do not have the plastic top lids... the model number is WW90T544DAN) thanks a lot 👍
Works perfectly fine for me, probably won't take as much at once or be as fast as a conventional drier but it'll easily dry a full set of bedsheets or several towels in a few hours.
@@camerongray1515 Can you use it as a dryer independently, meaning do a 40 minute wash, take out what you don't want to be in the dryer, and then start a fresh dry only programme?
Hey man! You know on quick washes - can you make the fast wash have a full spin? Many washing machines only give you between 400-1000 instead of the full 1400? Thanks
Hi in the auto detergent compartment, once you pour the detergent and softner, do you put the caps on when washing or do we leave it open and just shut the whole compartment?
@@camerongray1515 hi our washer opens one way and drier the other way.? Do you know why.do you go online for instructions?l wanted autodose and adwash.curry’s put wrong one through twice busy sale day.love got series 5 +plus adwash.it should been series 6.as we wanted autodose as my sons have it and they save on liquid as we’re using to much.softener same it cuts it right down. We have drier and it’s brilliant.our old drier was over heating and it wasn’t old it was sensor one.Brilliant machines.The washer drier I didn’t fancy as they do take longer but if working long hours it be great to come home and washing All done.thanks for review.x
Does the dryer part of the machine make it hot to the touch? Just ran the first cycle yesterday and it was really hot to touch compared to my previous machine.
This machine is a complete fire hazard, I've had mine a year and got a HC fault code..... There is about 10inch between lint thats collecting in the rear of the machine in condesating pipe and the heating element. There are no counter measures in place to prevent this. I've sent my discoveries to Samsung. There phones and tablets are amazing but I'm afraid the machine isn't fit for it's intended purpose
I can't on washing from phone app just say send to washing machine program but then i still have to go press button..😊 and i can't change water soft/hard/...
It's not a feature I've ever really used, but from memory, you need to enable "Smart Control" by pressing the little smartphone shaped button on the washing machine - this will lock the door and then enable the app to start the machine remotely. You'd need to do this before every cycle - load the machine, enable smart control which will lock the door and then when you want to start it, you can then start it from the app.
It's maybe quicker to change a couple of settings than navigating the menu on the device but when you factor in having to get your phone out and open the app, it's still quicker to just do it on the machine IMO. The app does have a feature to save favourites but I haven't used this.
Slightly but not to a problematic level, the door doesn't open to a full 90° angle but it still opens most of the way, can easily enough get everything out of the cupboard.
Hi there, can u tell me how to add more water when washing? Because it seems that the cloth does not submerge into water when washing.. just water coated the cloth😅tqsm!
I don't think you can change that setting but you shouldn't need to, front loading washing machines don't fill up entirely with water, they partially fill in the bottom of the drum and then rotate the clothes through the water.
It is all part of the design of modern machines only to use the minimum of electricity and water. I remember machines with 5 rinse cycles and now they default to two.
We bought the Samsung front load new 6 weeks ago. Horrible, horrible customer service. The washer only leans your clothes if they aren’t really dirty. Sweaty clothes, bedwetters clothes, or whites that you would like to use bleach for disinfectant make this washer not a good choice. It allows you to put a few tablespoons of bleach for a load with washcloths, dirty white socks, tee shirts etc. when the bleach bottle tells you a half cup to 3/4 cup. So, the germs remain. Things you would like emerged in water make Samsung not a good choice. HUGE buyer’s remorse. Miss my top load agitator style washer. It simply acts like a dryer drum with enough water to wet your clothes but not cover them with water. Clothes don’t smell fresh after being tossed in a circle while wet with a dash of detergent.
@@Lorna-JWBI know you haven't seen any lab tests of front load vs. top load washers, but let me summarize for you: The *most* effective way to clean clothes is to use just enough water to saturate them, and then tumble them. This action keeps the detergent as concentrated as possible. A top loader, even with a full capfull of detergent, is diluting that detergent in 70 gallons of water. They absolutey cannot clean as effectively as a front load washer. Imagine you had dirty hands and to wash them, you put a capfull of soap in a bathtub full of water and then swish your hands around in the water without much if any mechanical abrasion... The soap is so diluted that it will not work, and there's so much water that articles are not in contact with other articles or the wash basket agitation surfaces. Why people would want to use *so much more* water and electricity (due to cost to heat water and the anemic spin speed of top loaders) just to do a demonstrably worse wash job is beyond me... 😂
What model did you buy? The model I have here is a washer dryer, if you just bought the washing machine model then it won't have the ability to dry. The "Series 5+ Auto Dose" is available in several different versions.
@@camerongray1515 Oo I understand it is Series 5+ WW90T554DAN/S1 AddWash™ My and yours look exactly same well the settings thats why i spend about hour playing with settings to find drying options🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It vibrates when spinning as any machine does, it's relatively good at not shaking the entire room but there's not much that can be done to stop any sort of vibration when spinning several kg of clothes at 1400rpm. If you are referring to vibrating after the rinse and before the spin starts, there's slight pump noise as the machine pumps water out of the drum but it's not major.
@@camerongray1515 mine vibrates/ shakes when the spin cycle starts. But goes away as it starts to spin faster. Is that normal? Its my first front load washer. Coming from top loader
@@pictureus miele and bosch are german. You can’t ever doubt or question german engineering! Even if they’re reasonably more expensive, they’re worth every penny
Which dryer part? It's a condensing machine so the water from drying is pumped out the same hose as the waste water, it doesn't need venting or anything
bro how much you speack? ahahah let hearign the sound of it... but the way did you know the extra function botton the hand with the finger pointed allow you to other funciotns like bubble soaking intensive etc etc. if you keep speaking about how silent is whithout let us hearing the sound is really annoying😕
@@camerongray1515 Thank you for the explanation!! I am not a native speaker and trying hard to improve my English. I have a hard time understanding this Scottish/Edinburgh accent. I hope my question was not offensive!! It came out of curiosity. Thanks for the video! I just ordered this Samsung Washer/Dryer. Have a great day!!
I think that draw is a good idea but someone needs to come up with one that works with powder, liquid is a rip off as your paying for not only the cleaner but the water its dissolved in.
Cameron. SLOW DOWN. I really like your videos - but this particular video was by far your most unintelligible video! Your fast rate of speech + your delightful accent = really hard to understand! S-L-O-W D-O-W-N and consider that good ratings come from good UNDERSTANDABLE content.
Trust me, I try but it's much easier said than done, I'll start off trying to talk slowly but by the time I've spent hours juggling lights and cameras while simultaneously trying to install a washing machine having to reshoot several times because of mincing my words, I end up speeding up again and only realising during editing. The only solution I can see working for me (apart from some sort of speech therapy) would be to script everything but this would be a drastic style change, add an impractical amount of time to the production of each video and remove any enjoyment I get from making these.
@@camerongray1515 Ah don't get too caught up in it. I suffer the same issue (also Scottish) and have noticed that I tend to talk rapidly and forget to modulate my speech when speaking to non-Scots. It may be a bigger issue for me though since I come from deepest darkest Ayrshire lol. Nice review and a smart looking machine.
You're welcome to watch or not watch whatever videos you choose, I just make videos on things that I'm doing or working on. While videos like this don't necessarily appeal to everyone in my core audience, they can sometimes do pretty well from people searching for reviews of a particular product and the revenue from this can help fund more interesting projects.
@@camerongray1515 Completely agree. While most people on this channel will be interested in computer type stuff, there will certainly be others outside this group that will appreciate a detailed video and review of this washing machine. I know personally when I am looking for information on a specific item, I would be delighted to come across such a detailed and purpose-made video like this. It is EXCATLY what some people somewhere need!
What's the depth of the machine including the door please? It shows that it is 690mm but I'd like to check as I only have 670mm precisely in my cupboard. downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/202204/20220420160832152/U-PJT_COMBO-AD_SimpleUX_WEB_SSEC-02_EU_English.pdf
