VRT TM(Vibration Reduction Technology)

This Samsung washer performs smoothly at top spin speeds, minimizing noise and vibration.

Super capacity

Samsung's extra-large capacity laundry machine can wash a full set of your bedding, a king- size comforter, or up to 26 bath towels in a single load. Since you don't have to do as many

loads, you save time, money, water and energy.

Diamond drum TM

Take gentle care of your fabrics. With inside holes 36% smaller than those of conventional drums, the diamond drum prevents fabrics from sticking out and consequently being damaged.

Stylish design

The stylish design of this washer blends well with your environment.

Digital display & Center jog dial

The jog dial enables you to select cycles in both directions with ease, and the display is easy to use and understand.

DD(Direct-drive) Motor

The power to handle anything! Our direct-drive inverter motor delivers power right to the washer drum from a variable speed, reversible motor. A beltless direct-drive motor generates a higher spin speed of 1,200 rpm for more effective, quiet operation. The washer also has fewer moving parts, meaning fewer repairs.

Sanitize

When selecting this cycle, the water heats to an extra high temperature to remove 99.9% of certain bacteria typically found on clothing, bedding, or towels. This certification is

conducted by NSF International, an independent third-party testing and certification organization.

Please check garment care label to avoid garment damage. Only Sanitize cycles have been

designed to meet the requirements of this protocol for sanitization efficacy.
