After having frequent issues with our previous IFB washing machine I decided it was time to get rid of it, I needed something with either 8-9kg capacity since we wear jeans almost every day. I fixed my mind to avoid ifb at all costs since they are noisy and are prone to issues.
While in the market I saw front loaders from siemens, bosch, lg and samsung.
I spotted the samsung wd(washer drier) while at that time siemens or bosch had not yet launched a washer drier model it was between lg and samsung. Features wise both they were almost identical as well as warranty wise which made things tough, and reliability wise I have heard good about both brands however the deal breaker was he samsung store offered me a good buy back and some discount.
First impressions were the machine is built out of good quality materials, including a plastic protection on the outter door and a glass on the inner side. The machine is pretty quiet while washing and you can only hear the tumbling action of clothes, while spinning the noise is way to less compared to the ifb I had before, this is more due to the direct drive system and load imbalance correction which is good and can be your worst night mare if your clothes fail to get balanced out it just wont spin.
The machine has a good choice of wash cycles from delicates to woolens to handwash and since it has a drier in built it offers you to deodorize your clothes by sending warm air into your drum and dumpling your clothes or sanitizing by using higher temperatures, you can also use fragrance pulls meant to be used in clothes drier.
One thing to note it can take some time like 2-4 hours to dry your clothes fully, this is more due to it not being a ventilated drier which throws out the warm moist air rather here it stays within the drum. Lint always will get collected around your rubber so make sure to clean it frequently.
Its been 5 years now and not a single issue faced.
The machine is made in china as stated on the rear labels.
