Made to last 5 years
Samsung quality is well below just a few years ago. My expensive dryer lasted 5 years and the drum cracked. This type of product should last twenty years, but this is not the only recent Samsung product failure I have experienced. Last Samsung product I will ever buy - a thousand bucks wasted.

    Excellent Dryer!
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Similar to that of the matching washing machine, I’ve had experiences with many models over the years. I always come back to Samsung models as I find they are the most user-friendly, dependable and withstand the test of time. The wi-fi enabled feature is awesome, just like with the washing machine. How many times do you put stuff in the dryer , forget about it and 3 days later find it, sometimes still damp. That doesn’t happen with this dryer, as I’m alerted via my Echo Show when the cycle is done. The lint catcher is also evolved over the years, looking more like a foldable basket collecting all the lint. To be able to unlatch it and remove all the lint, and even scrape out the hole where it is inserted with little to no problem is awesome. No more lint build up in my dryer pipes, like with other units. Having the many features that can take a work shirt or pants from the dryer to the hanger is also great for someone with little time and would prefer to spend it with the family.

      Love the notifications
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had my set for over two weeks now and as with the washer this dryer works great with dig hair. One other thing that I love is the notifications I get on my phone but more so on my TV it will pop up in the corner letting me know it's done I'm older so the little new things amuses me. The static and dark colors of the washer and dryer collect dust fast. That is the only negative I have to say about this set.

        Smart dryer machine
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dryer has huge internal space which is insane. This dryer is an extra large capacity dryer. This dryer can dry 2 comforters in at same time and both come out very dry in no time. The modern and sleek design gives the laundry room the updated look . It has lot of cycles and settings to choose from depending on what you are drying. This dryer is super quiet without any loud noises, and no vibration at all. With the Smart Control this washer sends push notifications when a cycle is complete to your Smart Things app on phone. Eco Dry setting is worth mentioning as it saves money due to less energy use. Don't get confused by the longer run time. The removeable drying rack that comes with the washer is very helpful in drying shoes or anything that doesn't need tumbling around. Drum light was very helpful. Innovative lint filter holds long due to large capacity and also it is very easy to empty it out. I didn't had to use it, but the reversible door as explained by the installer sounds helpful in cramped laundry rooms. Nice smart dryer from Samsung.

          This Dryer Is the Best!
          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received my 7.5 cu. ft. Smart Electric Dryer a week ago and I’ve being using it non-stop since then. The set up was painless and It’s easy to use and. Pairing the dryer with the SmartThings app is by far my favorite feature because it allows you to choose what type of item you’re drying and you can also set this up as automatic depending on what you’re washing. Another neat feature is that it provides you with an alert when the dry cycle has been completed. The first time that I used the dryer my clothes didn’t come out completely dry but I think that it was because I overloaded the dryer. I also used the rack that comes with the dryer that allows you to flat dry your clothes. This also worked for drying my son’s shoes. The lint filter design makes for easy cleaning and this is a significant upgrade to what my old dryer had. I’m really enjoying the dryer so far, I haven’t had any problems with it. I think it was a great upgrade.

            Dryer That Saves Time & Money!
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am loving all of the features that this Samsung dryer offers!! The included accessories and program features make drying clothes, stuffed animals, towels, and more a breeze! My favorite feature had to be the dry-sensing technology! This feature senses how dry items are and tailors a cycle to match the needs of the load. In comparison to cycles with my previous dryer, Samsun cycles are shorter, which saves me time and money! I also love the rack accessory that was included. This white rack goes inside of the dryer when drying stuffed animals or shoes. As a mother of young boys, I am definitely in the situation where I need to wash and dry more than just clothes and towels. In the past, stuffed animals would come out of the dryer tattered and misshapen. She was with Clinger Round making a ridiculous amount of noise during the cycle and never come out looking quite the same. These are no longer problems with the Samsung dryer and the included accessory. This rack allows shoes and stuffed animals to remain stationary while still being able to be dried.

              Fast sensing drying
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dryer has made drying clothes so much easier and taken the stress out of ruining my families clothes. The drying level sensor has been a huge addition that I have loved using. Being able to choose to dry delicate clothes and finish drying them flat or trusting the dryer is a relief compared to my previous dryers that worked on timers. The Samsung app has been amazing to use and set times and manage my washer and dryer while doing other chores. The drying rack for delicate items like our youngest stuffed animals and wife’s sweaters has been a nice tool to use and keep them looking nice. The sanitizer and activewear settings have been a nice addition to accomplish drying certain items and killing germs on our clothes. The design of the lint trap is different than anything I have ever seen but catches so much more lint than I have seen before. When I empty it there is not a ton of lint under it that is being routed into the vent which is amazing and I am impressed. Samsung did a great job with this dryer and our family is a huge fan.

                Works perfect
                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smart or not this works pretty well and dries my clothes efficiently. I like the sanitize function whoch really gives a nice clean to the clothes. It has a good capacity which is very good and works very well for my family of 4. It has a sleek and modern design which looks gorgeous and does not give a bulky feel at all. I like the musical reminder it give once the cycle is complete. I absolutely love that the dryer door is reversible whoch makes it so much more convinient to change as per my liking. I have synced it to my phone so I get a notification once the cycle is complete. I can basically manage the dryer settings from the tip of my phone which is very necessary as my laundry room is downstairs. One more interesting feature is that it remembers my most recently used setting so I do not have to think each time to choose or change settings. All in all a very good product.

                  Great Dryer
                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I do a lot of laundry and I prefer to dry our clothes on delicate, my last dryer I would have to start again and again but this dryer actually gets them dry in the 25 minutes it takes for the delicate cycle! I really like how many options it has for drying cycles! It’s quick and efficient. The vent is easy access and easy to clean. The dryer is quiet and I love the little song when it’s finished! I would definitely recommend if you are in need of a new dryer!

                    Good dryer with smarts
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our last washer was 'smart'...but man was it frustrating. Not so with this one! We were able to set it up and connect it with SmartThings in < 5 min. Now alerts for cycles completions audibly alert us on our smart speakers, a popup on our Samsung TV and notifications on our phones. It also does the 'old fashioned' play-a-little-tune alert on the washer itself, but to be honest, kind of wish it could be disabled (or, if it can, haven't figured that out yet). All of the cycles we have use have worked great, and it was really nice to dry some wet winter boots on the rack thing that can be inserted so they're not thumping around in there. Besides the too-long end of cycle tune, no real complaints with it, though, I will say it seems as though the moisture sensor leans a bit towards the 'not dry' side sometimes.

                      Highly Impress
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As an exceptional companion to the Samsung 5.0 Cu. Ft. Extra-Large Capacity Smart Front Load Washer, the Samsung 7.5 cu. ft. Smart Electric Dryer matches the extra capacity of the washed items to dry in ranges of drying methods and times. Three types of drying tests were completed and compared to my previous experiences in using both residential and commercial machines. The first run what's to measure the capability of drying time for a thick double blanket and to see whether or not it would dry properly. It was dried under the regular cycle and when it came out of the dryer initially certain parts I was expected to be damp because even though it is a large enough capacity to try a double thick blanket, I knew that it will probably ball up during the cycle. So I would check in about halfway through to see if I could flip the blanket inside out and I did this about 3 times throughout the cycle every half an hour or so. Indiana when it came out it was mostly dry. There were damp areas and it did need to be let out open to air-dry. Although unfortunately did not dry it as well as I would have liked, what was impressive was that the item came out mostly dry and wet it finally did dry it was clean and crisp. The second run was for a pair of sneakers and I used the provided detachable rack that came in with the machine. I put the two sneakers on top of it and although I washed it with the towels I did not dry them with the towels. It was just drying for the shoot only. It ran on a regular cycle and unfortunately by the time it's finished the run the shoes were not dry and the interior was still moist to the touch but not wet. Interesting Lee enough, even though the idea of being able to dry your shoes in the dryer without a clunking around the dryer is a great idea, I don't think it actually had the strong enough capacity to be able to dry the shoes thoroughly. Once I get another item that had to be out of the dryer are dry to finish drying. The last were the bath towels, washed at almost to 75% capacity of the extra capacity washer. These towels did dry very well and crisp, perhaps because I followed the special notch in a selection knob preselected for towel drying. Overall the experience was great and I would highly recommended as a great companion to the washer. For the other items that didn't dry completely, I may want to consider extending the drawing time to see if it would work better in the future.

                        Awesome dryer
                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was not expecting much at first, after all it is just a dryer. Well, this is the dryer I didn’t know I needed. The design is very modern and sleek. Who thought appliances could look pretty? I was a bit overwhelmed at first with so many different features, but it is so easy to use. The preset settings are helpful, but I love that you can still customize them to your needs. Another thing I love is about it is how quiet it is, I tend to do laundry when everyone is in bed and with this dryer I don’t have to worry about it waking anyone up while getting my laundry done.

                          This Dryer is the Truth
                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Similar to my review of the washer, very easy to set up, and within 5 minutes I was off and running. It also plays the annoying song when it;s done that I wish i could turn off. There is so much variety available in the cycles, and you can customize most of them. I do feel like the dryness censor is a little sensitive because i will start it on Normal, and within minutes it will say it is complete. When you feel the items, there is moisture. Part of the issue is that the washer spin really rings out the contents, which leaves me to hope that the dryer fluffed items up a little bit more. I have to still explore some of my settings and set some customer cycles, bu I am amazed with how clean this machine remains. My household has a lot of hair in it, and if you see in my photos, the lint trap is top notch. Always forming in the 2 rectangles first, then some minor excess on the outer portions. But very east to clean out. The second photo is a view of the shoot where the lint trap sits. After nearly 5 weeks, there is nothing in it! I used to have to get special tools, a shop vac, and some patience to try to get lint build up out of my old one I can also tell that this aby has some power because my vent outside never made so much vapor clouds with my old set up. The smart system even knows that you just washed, and sets the dryer cycle to match, all you have to do is hit start! My only draw backs are that I think items need to enter the dryer with slightly more moisture to help the dryer pull the hair off my clothes, so I might be able to fix that with the washer. And, that If I wanted my clothes to be prefect, I would have to selectively add items back in to run specific cycles get wrinkles out. The typical dry cycle seems a bit stale for my liking. All in all this machine knocks it out of the part for me and is a great complement to the washer, I would recommend anyone of any style household to buy!

                            Fantastic Drying Capabilities for Versatile Needs

                              Quick, and I love the steam!
                              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The speed of this dryer is what caught my attention first. That combined with how quietly it runs make this the perfect match for our washer. Also, the capacity is great. Some in my family like to wait until they have nothing to wear and fill the washer to the top. This in turn becomes a very large load for our dryer, but the time to dry is never excessive. Because we've only had the machine for a short time, we have not come close to trying all of the features, but we are pretty impressed with what we've been able to try so far. This machine will do anything the newer machines will do, but what stands out most is how quiet it is. Our laundry room is next to our kitchen which is where most of my family gathers. It's nice to be able to run load and not worry about the noise. I haven't fully tried all the "smart" features, but I do like the delayed start and the end of cycle notification. Like most we lead a busy life and these two features help us to be as efficient as possible. What I like about the delayed cycle is I can time my clothes to complete at a certain time. That way if I’m not able to get back to a load for several hours I can time it so the dryer completes at about the time I’m ready to fold. This way the clothes are less likely to wrinkle. Another feature I like is the steam. I almost always use this feature if I have any ironing to do. If I steam the clothes first Ironing is much easier. Bottom line is so-far, so-good. The machine has definitely lived up to our expectations!

                                Great Quality and lots of features
                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When pairing this dryer with its matching washer you get a modern laundry solution that saves time, money, and adds convenience. We're so happy that we got this dryer. It looks so good in our laundry room with it's matching washing machine, with its deep rich color and excellent build quality. Everything feels top end, right down to the LED light that illuminates every inch of the massive interior drum. Even the lint filter is innovative,having a large capacity and easy to empty with the way it unfolds, is more helpful than you'll realize until you use it. The smart features are a bonus too, being able to pair with your smart assistant to announce when the load is dry is a game changer. But beyond the looks and innovations, there are so many features that help us save time doing laundry and getting settings perfect for the types of clothing that we're trying to dry. Need to make sure your most delicate clothing doesn't get wrinkles? Set the wrinkle prevent feature and you're set. Want to use less energy when drying? Enable the ecodry feature and the dryer saves electricity automatically, we really like knowing we're saving money and being energy conscience. One of our favorite features is the steam sanitize feature that blasts the load with steam to kill germs, we've been using this to give us peace of mind. I highly recommend this dryer because of it's modern features, great looks, and innovations that help speed up getting the laundry done. It has handled every load we've thrown at it and has surprised us with features like ecodry and steam sanitize.

                                  Quiet and Efficient
                                  [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My previous dryer was 14 years old when I bought this one. I am amazed not only with its efficiency but how incredibly quiet this machine is! I am amazed at how big this dryer is! I have been able to wash and dry complete bedding sets with no issues. Everything comes out perfectly dry, and you don't have to keep adding more time to get everything dry. For the most part, I use the regular cycle with wrinkle guard. We have animals and I really like how the lint trap is set up and collects the dog hair. The dial is very easy to use, as are the buttons. The app notifies you when the cycle is completed, and there is also an alarm on the dryer. The whole system is user friendly and my kids can do their own laundry (but I still do it). I really like that there a rack to keep certain items separate, such as shoes, hats, sweaters, etc. Overall, I would highly recommend this dryer.

                                    Best Dryer
                                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Dryer has a lot of different features that help me understand how to get the best of the dryer. The front top of the dryer has a multi-control panel with a power button, a navigation dial to choose the cycle, and a start/pause button. This appliance came with Wi-Fi capabilities. I connected it to the SmartThings phone app and it alerts me when the cycle is done. There is a light inside the dryer that turns on when the door opens. I clean the lint filter with every new load. The dryer door comes with the option to be installed on the right or left. Mine opens to the right opposite the washer’s door. The door has a child lock., I have been able to save my frequently used settings. I love that can start dryin from work or whatever I am from my phone. have been using this dryer for over a month now and I find it to be very efficient. The dryer is pretty quiet when drying. The inside is very spacious. I like that it alerts me when the load is done. I’m very happy with this dryer, I recommended to all my friends and family.

                                      Smart Features Save Time and Money
                                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] With a dryer, there's not been many new innovations in the space, but Samsung has found a way to change that. Being electric, power consumption is always a thought when drying. Luckily this dryer has some of the best energy efficiency ratings of dryers in it's class. Best of all is the smart app integrations which can alert you when the drying cycle is done so you can start your next load to dry. Being able to schedule on times also helps us conserve energy for off peak usage when electricity pricing for us is subsidized/cheaper.

                                        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We've only been using these for about 2 weeks now, but with our active lifestyles and young child, they've been getting plenty of use. They're slightly larger than our previous Samsung washer/dryer but unfortunately the capacity on the washer is less, but that seems to be the case with front loads. That's about the only 'complaint' I could come up with--besides the installers. They look sleek and modern, and the black color looks great. I love how much quieter the set is that our previous, and connecting to our existing smart home setup through SmartThings was super easy. It now announces throughout our house on our smart speakers when the cycle is done which is amazing, and we get alerts on our phones if we step outside and can even turn on the wrinkle prevent on the dryer. All the modes we've used have worked great--including the typical heavy duty cycle but also the bedding cycles. The dryer also has the rack that allows you to dry baseball caps or shoes/boots without having them clunk around all cycle. Overall, we're very happy with the set and would definitely recommend.

                                          This is our first dryer to require a water connection! The MultiSteam functions inject water to sanitize and un-wrinkle clothes. The SmartThings App talks to both your smartphone and companion washer. The Refresh and Wrinkle Prevent cycles are genius!

                                              Have been using it for over a month, This dryer does a nice job of drying. Like that I can hook up the bixby to my smartthings app to get notification my dryer is done and the done jingle always makes me smile. The sanitize option seems to work and there are a lot of different feature settings for drying. The only minor nuance is that the vent lint is sometimes hard to put in the slot and gets caught.

                                              Great dryer for that money. Huge capacity and energy efficiency. The only problem is construction of air filter. It made of plastic and you need to be very gentle to clean it every time, it bands very easy.

                                              Saving energy and being able to dry larger loads, that's definitely a time saver! Samsung is thrilled to be a part of your home. ^Shifa Samsung

                                              dryer filter is designed to break
                                              Its fine. But -2 stars for the insanely poor design of the filter housing. It literally is bending plastic every single time you clean it. Mine is less than a month old and you can see the plastic deformation happening already! What idiot engineer thought this was a good idea??? I am an engineer and this is shameful and embarassing. This product deservers a recall for this single mistake or a properly hinged upgrade to be sent to every person who ever bought one.

                                                This new Samsung dryer is much more fun to use when compared to my previous dryer. Just load the dryer and operate it right from my phone. I like the smart function in this dryer. It has many settings and various levels of temperature too. Dries out my clothes quickly and saves energy too. Make sure you remove the lint before you load. My previous dryer took two to 3 cycles to dry out but this washer does an amazing job just in the first cycle . I like the quick dry setting if I have less clothes. The capacity of the dryer is good holds a lot of clothes just in single load. My clothes come out dry, clean wrinkle free and also smelling good. It fits my sheets and king sized comforter in a single load . It’s definitely more efficient and energy saving when compared to my previous dryer.
