Good price for a Samsung. Like the extra 12yr warranty on the motor apart from 2yr manufacturing warranty. This model does not have hot water connection, only cold. Washing in warm temperature takes long time to heat and uses more electricity. If it had hot water connection, would have been quick and efficient (gas vs electricity). As per the washing, does a good job and not too much noise or vibration. Can recommend but check for hot water connection as there is a blank behind the washing machine for a hot water connection. They must sell with both hot & cold for a bit more price.
