Samsung Washing Machine with Extra Door Reviews

AddWash technology is a feature that makes washing machine use more convenient. It features an additional door that allows you to add laundry to the drum after the wash cycle has started. Samsung washing machines with this additional door have immediately captured the attention of homeowners. Now you don't have to worry about stopping the wash cycle every time you discover forgotten items; you can simply open the additional door and toss them in. Let's explore how convenient this feature is by reviewing real user reviews of Samsung washing machines.

Samsung WW65K42E08W

The reload door always makes me incredibly happy. I'm quite absent-minded, so I'd often forget to add small items to the wash cycle and only remember them after the machine has started. Now I have no problem; I can easily add items even after the cycle has started. I'm so glad we bought this Samsung model. It removes all types of stains and has a stylish design. It even has a pre-programmed quick cycle (15 minutes), which is very convenient when I need to freshen up my clothes.

One drawback I can mention is the noise the machine makes during the spin cycle. However, this issue was easily resolved by purchasing special rubber pads for the washing machine's feet. The instructions state the maximum load is 6.5 kg, but in reality, it's best not to load more than six kilograms. Overall, if anyone asks whether this model is worth buying, I would definitely recommend it. The price-quality-functionality ratio of the Samsung WW65K42E08W is simply excellent.

I think the washing machine's main advantage is its price – $270 for a machine with such a wide range of features and extras – it's a real bargain. The extra load feature is genuine, not a pathetic parody like LG or Siemens, where adding more laundry requires draining the water into a separate drum. The wash quality is excellent. It easily removes stains from white shirts, which is very important to me. It's quiet and doesn't "jump" around on the floor. It has a steam setting and an automatic detergent dispenser.

In my review, I'd also like to mention the drawbacks. The steam wash function is a scam. The 95°C setting washes much better than steam alone. Steam is only available in two settings: "Bed Linen" and "Children's Clothes." The instructions state that the user won't see the steam when using this setting. In my opinion, it's better to wash in boiling water and not rely on steam.

I'm also irritated by the mediocre sound signal that notifies me when the wash cycle is finished. It's a long, annoying melody that plays for almost a minute. Every action is also accompanied by a sound: adjusting the spin speed, selecting a program. It might be a minor issue for some, but I don't like the fact that you can't turn off the sound.

As it turns out, the reload hatch isn't all that important—we've only used it a couple of times since we bought the washing machine.

The extra door is very small. It's easy enough to throw socks, a T-shirt, baby rompers, and so on into the drum. Larger items or bedding, of course, won't fit. Another drawback is that the stated maximum drum capacity of 6.5 kg is only available on a couple of wash cycles. The machine typically holds 4 kg of laundry, which is generally acceptable for a 45 cm washing machine.

Samsung WW65K42E09W

Anatoly, Moscow

We chose a Samsung washing machine with an extra door because we often forget to put socks in the drum. The main advantages of the Samsung WW65K42E09W model are: silent operation, a wide variety of special programs, effective spinning, and the ability to add more items. We use the additional hatch every second wash; I find this function very useful.

When I first started using the washing machine, I didn't notice any flaws at all. After six months of use, my opinion has changed slightly. I did notice a very annoying glitch: if I set the program and also adjust the spin speed, the machine will finish the cycle without draining the water from the drum. This software error isn't too critical for me, but I still think such glitches are unacceptable for a Samsung. I give this model a 5-star rating.

Valery, Ramenskoye

I was assisted in choosing a washing machine by a specialist at the retail chain, to whom I am grateful. The machine is quiet, washes well, and is unaffected by power surges in the apartment (my previous washing machine was acting up and wouldn't work properly because of this). As for its drawbacks, I would point out the excessive movement of the machine—it would bounce off the wall during the spin cycle. I bought an anti-vibration mat, and that problem is gone now.

Svetlana, St. Petersburg

I was immediately drawn to the washing machine's appearance in the store. As it turned out, its stylish design is well-suited to its functionality. It doesn't bounce during the spin cycle, and you can't even hear it running from another room. It's especially convenient that the display shows the wash time; when selecting a mode, you can immediately see how long it's running.

I've used the reload hatch more than once, and I'm very glad that washing machines now have this feature.

I was surprised, and many housewives will understand, by the fact that the machine washes so well that the duvet cover no longer "eats" the rest of the laundry in the drum. This is completely unbelievable to me. I really like the steam setting – it leaves towels soft and fluffy. The quick wash cycle is convenient – ​​15 minutes, and then you can hang up your laundry.

Most programs can be customized with various options, such as intensive stain removal, bubble wash, soak, and more. You can adjust the water temperature and spin speed. Rinse quality is excellent, compared to my previous washing machine from another well-known brand. It's quite spacious, for example, and can easily cycle a couple of duvet covers, a mattress pad, a sheet, and several pillowcases at once.

I didn't find any significant drawbacks. The only exception is the lack of a 30°C wash cycle. The manufacturer allows for a temperature setting of 20°C or 40°C.

Samsung WW65K52E69S

Vasily, St. Petersburg

The automatic washing machine is beautiful, washes very quietly, and handles stains well. It has a reloading hatch—a convenient addition that allows you to stuff forgotten small items into the drum after the program has started. The downsides include a noisy water intake and some vibration during the spin cycle. There are also some small gaps in the housing. During the wash cycle, at least one sock always gets caught between the seal and the reloading hatch and "hides" there throughout the entire cycle.

Also, I think the drum is slightly flattened and oval. Also, when the machine was delivered from the store, one of the shipping bolts bent and the wing nut where the bolt is inserted cracked. Perhaps I was just unlucky with the assembly. Otherwise, the machine does its job perfectly and washes well.

I'd like to thank the specialist who recommended this model. It operates quietly throughout the entire cycle—both when filling and when draining. The sound when filling the tank is comparable to a faucet that's not fully open. Samsung WW65K52E69S washes clothes perfectly, preserving their shape and brightness. Although, perhaps this is due to the detergents that I choose very meticulously.

What I didn't like was the manufacturer's limitation in adjusting the temperature and spin speed in certain washing programsWith my previous washing machine, I could set any mode and heat level I wanted. Now, when selecting one program, I can only select either 30°C or 40°C, and spin at up to 800 rpm. When selecting the second program, I can set the temperature from 40 to 80 degrees, and the drum speed increases to 1200 rpm.
