Having been around since 1970, it’s fair to say that Samsung is one of the brands that truly helped pave the way for electronic advances over the last 50 years. You may be more familiar with their electronics or kitchen appliances, but Samsung is bringing the same innovation to the laundry room. When it comes to their washing machines and dryers, Samsung may be best known for its modern innovations around design and smart technology. All of their Wi-Fi enabled washers work with its smart home platform SmartThings, which allows you to control your machine from your phone and connect it to other smart devices in your home to create one automated home network.
In our latest article, our experts at Albert Lee breaks down Samsung washer and dryer reviews as well as everything you need to know before making your choice, including features, performance, and a few of our favorite models.

Who are They Right For?
Samsung washers and dryers are ideal for anyone looking to reap the benefits of a quality name-brand product at an affordable price. If you have limited space, Samsung offers a variety of smaller laundry units with a shallow depth to fit into compact laundry rooms or apartments.
However, if you’re running a busy household and always have a stacks of laundry piled up everywhere, we recommend one of Samsung’s larger washer or dryer models to withstand your daily cleaning needs.
Performance Overview
Beyond convenience, Samsung offers powerful wash features like top load washers with an ActiveWave Agitator that’s specially designed to reduce vibration and improve performance. When it comes to front loaders, certain models include OptiWash, a smart washer feature that detects soil levels in the water and adjusts the cycle accordingly. And since a sanitary washer means a healthier you, select Samsung washers also come with Self Clean+, plus front load washer options with CleanGuard antimicrobial technology that prevents mold and mildew buildup.
When it comes to drying your clothes, Samsung certainly doesn’t mess around with making sure they are cleaner and more sanitized than ever before. Samsung dryers are all equipped with the Steam Sanitize+ function, which is designed to help eliminate germs, bacteria, pollen, and dust mites, while also offering a Multi-Steam function to reduce wrinkles, static, and any odors.
