We’ve partnered with Best Buy to share this awesome information!
I can’t tell you how excited I was when I was given the opportunity to review the new Samsung ActiveWash washer and dryer from Best Buy! I had my previous washer for longer than I could really remember and it was starting to have little fits here and there on me. I knew any day that it would just conk out on me. We had recently done a major remodel on our kitchen and had purchased a new Samsung refrigerator that we immediately fell in love with…so I knew that Samsung was the brand that I would be replacing my appliances with in the future.
Samsung ActiveWash Washer
The first thing I noticed about this washer was the very large capacity washer. This drum is so deep that it allows you to wash up to 3 laundry baskets of clothes in one load. In fact, when I wash smaller items, I have to get a pair of tongs to reach them. I do not kid! This feature is fantastic for washing large comforters or knocking out several days or a weeks worth of wash in one setting. What a time saver! The Swirl Drum also has a unique design with small holes to help prevent your delicate clothes from getting caught and damaged.
Here in Southern California, many of us live in ranch style homes built in the 50s and 60s that don’t tend to have a lot of space. We had moved our laundry area out to our garage many years ago to enlarge our kitchen and so I do not really have a “laundry room” with a nice sink. That makes it very hard to pre-treat stains without taking my laundry into the kitchen or the bathroom to access a sink with running water. I don’t have to worry about that now because the Samsung ActiveWash Washer has a dedicated sink and water jet which provides a convenient and unique space to hand-wash delicate items and pre-wash heavily soiled clothes. I can see that this is one feature I will be frequently taking advantage of.
One of the first things my husband mentioned to me was how incredibly quiet this washer is. The VRTâ„¢ (Vibration Reduction Technology) reduces noise and vibration during washes, even in high-spin speeds with heavy loads. For those of you with your laundry room close to where your children nap or you watch TV, this is a BIG plus.
The Samsung ActiveWash Washer is all about sanitizing and cleanliness too! It has a Steam Wash cycle that releases steam from the bottom of the laundry tub, saturating every item in the load and leading to an even deeper clean. An internal heater helps keep your water temp exactly where you need it and a sanitize cycle works to eliminate up to 99% of bacteria in each laundry load. The Aquajet feature forces out dirty water as clean water pours in to deliver a better, cleaner wash. In addition to all of that, the Self Clean technology keeps this baby fresh without the use of harsh chemicals and also sends you reminders to clean the tub every 40 wash cycles.
This washer has 15 different washing cycles that are designed to tackle just about anything you throw at it. I have not had a chance to use all 15 cycles yet but I can tell you that I certainly will over the course of the next few weeks. Right now I am loving the Super Speed cycle for the smaller, lightly soiled loads. It is in and out in under 36 mintues!
Samsung 7.4 cu. ft Large Capacity (Electric) Front Load Dryer
Not to be outdone by the awesome Samsung ActiveWash Washer, this dryer is also very large and has many exciting features! 7.4 cu. ft speaks for itself as far as handling large loads and saving you time and effort. It also has 15 drying cycles which includes refresh, heavy duty, steam sanitize, wrinkle away, perm press, delicates and bedding, which makes it easy to give each fabric type the right care. I love, love, love the fact that it has a Vent Sensor that detects any problems with your vent and shuts down in the event of a clogged vent to prevent potential fires. This dryer also features a reversible door to accommodate your laundry space and a moisture sensor to ensure that your clothes are dried to perfection.
There are two specific features to this dryer that really excites me (yes, I do get excited over laundry)! The Multi-Steam Technology allows you to reduce and remove wrinkles, odors, bacteria and static with just a simple hook-up to your existing water supply for your washer. No water reservoir to fill up and you can steam away your wrinkles and spend less time ironing and take fewer clothes to the dry cleaners. The Steam Dry cycles include; Refresh, Wrinkle Away and Steam Sanitize. I can see this really coming in handy when you have limited time to iron something you need to wear to work in the morning.
I am also in love with the Dryer Rack. The dryer rack is easily installed (even I can do it) and allows you to dry sneakers, sweaters and even stuffed animals without ruining them with the tumbling. How cool is that!?!
For those of us that love saving money and the environment, I must mention that Samsung’s patented Eco Dry technology can save up to $4,500 over the lifetime of the washer and dryer. With up to 25% less energy use on every load, Eco Dry offers superior drying power while saving money in the long run. Samsung also offers Smart Care (something my husband was really impressed with) on both the washer and dryer which is quick diagnosis of your washer right from your smart phone allowing convenient and easy access to trouble shooting options.
I truly am in love with this Samsung ActiveWash Laundry Pair from Best Buy. They have so many great features that will save me time and money. Thank you Best Buy for this amazing opportunity to review these Samsung products and help me to #mastermyhome!

That sounds like a really nice set. I do lots of laundry, so I would love those.
I am super jealous! I wanted this campaign in the worst way. They look great.
Those look like great machines! Our washer and dryer are on their last legs, so I’ll definitely have to look in to these.
Those would make really nice replacements! They sound amazing.
Wow, these machines look awesome! I love the dedicated sink, steam option and dryer rack. We love Samsung as well and have a new refrigerator. I would love to try these out! Great review, thank you!
This looks like a great set. I love the idea of a dryer rack to dry sneakers and other stuff.
It seems like I never stop doing laundry. These would make it so much faster and easier!
This sounds like an awesome laundry system. I love the dryer rack for special items.
They look like an amazing set. Really nice to look at too! I do laundry all day, everyday so it would be nice to have a decent pair like this!
I’m seriously loving that dryer. I’d love to try out the multi-steam technology on some things I normally have to iron.
I want these. Lots of great features,
Our washer and dryer is almost seven years old and still works well, but I love all of the new features the updated models offer. We could especially benefit from that steam technology.
That machine looks pretty amazing. A definite difference with that shirt!
I have a Samsung dryer I bought in January and I love it! Now I need to get the matching washer. 🙂
This washer and dryer is really nice. I love the sleek design of them!
Never having to iron again sure sounds good to me. This sounds like a great pair to have!
Nice! What I love about this is that its quiet and has a large drum.
Wow!! We totally watched the sink video! That machine is super cool. Enjoy it!
You know you’re a mom when you get this excited about a washing machine & dryer! That looks so cool!
I actively need a new laundry washer and dryer! This looks like an amazing pair I love the review!
What great machines. I love the drying rack! Normally when I wash tennis shoes I let them air dry which takes days to dry!
We are a Samsung family. My mom totally needs to get one of these! Her washer just broke 2 days ago!
A good washer and dryer pair is a must! I hated having to take my laundry out to be done.
I’m one of the few people I know that doesn’t mind doing laundry, but I love anything that makes it easier. I’ll have to check these out when I’m in the market.
Those look amazing. I like that it has 15 drying cycles as it can be a nightmare sometimes for delicate clothes
I love the dryer rack. I wish my dryer had something like that.
Looks like an incredible set! I’ve always really liked Samsung products and I love to see them stepping into the appliance arena. I could SO use a new washer and dryer. My washer has been leaking oil out onto the floor. Gahh! So, maybe I’ll take my husband into Best Buy and sort of “wander” over towards this set and give him a “hint”. Ahem. 😀
Very cool that Samsung has this set – loving that dryer rack and the Multi-Steam Technology looks fabulous – great video – making me want it! 🙂
I need that dryer rack. I run all the time when it is raining, that would save me so much time waiting for shoes to dry.
Wow, that really got the wrinkles out of the shirt! I hate ironing, so I think I need to pester hubby into a new washer and dryer!
Every feature that you mentioned above, I need it. Our washer/dryer came with our house and is a very basic model. If I had to upgrade I would seriously check out these Samsung washer and dryer. I love the built in sink feature the best.
I’m looking to buying a new washer & dryer soon. This looks like a great set!
Wow! Those look like space age machines! Washers and dryers have come a very long way since I was a little girl. I watched my mother wash clothes using a wringer type machine.
I love the look of that washer and dryer.. Wish I could get a new dryer.
We just picked up a Samsung fridge yesterday and are loving it already. Old GE fridge died without notice, so we were in panic mode!
I live in an apartment and we are not allowed to have washers and dryers or I would be all over this one. It really sounds like it has everything that you might need or even think you might need in a washer dryer set. And I agree Samsung is a very good brand which will last for years.
I love all of the awesome features these have! If I need new ones in the future, I’ll be looking at these for sure! Anything to avoid ironing is good with me!
I am actually in the process of replacing my old appliances with stainless steel. The last ones we will be getting are the washer and dryer.
I wish I had a set like this! With 5 people in our family laundry is a pain!
We took five months to find a washer and dryer we loved, I love all the new features they have.
This washer and dryer seem like a dream come true. We had to replace our washer about 5 months ago. It’s not as nice abouts this one but it’s awesome for being a basic machine.
Wow, all those features are amazing! And here I am still line-drying most of my clothes, haha. Thanks for sharing, I’ll definitely have to check these out next time I’m in a store 🙂
Wow,this is very huge and cool. This is what we need on our laundry lol.
I bought my last set from Sears about 2 years ago. I love them and they’re red
I am in desperate need of a new washer and dryer. Last night I wasted so much money trying to win a raffle for a set like this, and was devastated when my name didn’t get called. I was so sure I was going to win it…
Looks like you could really do some big loads of laundry with this! I would love to have a new washer, I’ve been looking for one for a while now; these seems great!
Wow, this is an amazing washer and dryer. Having a pair like these at home is sure to make any mom’s life easier.
So jealous right now. I would love to have that set. You must be washing everything just to try out all the features.
We have a dryer rack and love it especially for the shoes! Samsung makes great appliances.
Omg! This washer and dryer set sounds pretty amazing!!!! We just got a new set last year but this set looks so much better lol
This washer and dryer set looks really nice. I love the design and looks like it does a great job.
I love how sleek both of these machines look. I have heard great things about Samsung appliances.
I’d be impressed with the smart phone assessment too! I think it sounds amazing.
This is another great creation of Samsung. Their laundry machine looks really good!
What an awesome washer and dryer set. The set I have is really, really old. Even though they work fine, I would love a set with some newer technology and features.
There is nothing like a large capacity for a washer. Blown away by the special care rack!
Great pair of laundry buddies
We have a samsung washer/dryer/ I had no idea that the rack was for shoes – I thought it was for maybe steaming the wrinkles from the shirts, haah!
I am so tempted to gout right now and buy these!! They look like a great product and we are in need of some new appliances!
The sink feature and the shelf feature is so innovative. Leave it to Samsung to be the feature leader!
Great features, there was so many you covered. Looks like it’s really working well for you.
This is what I need. I could fit my comforter in it, instead of dry cleaning it. I am also impressed with the smartphone features
How amazing is this? I love the ability to dry my sneakers without all the noise!
The Swirl Drum feature is quite impressive on this model. However, I think that Dryer Rack for things like sneakers…omgoodness – that is something that would really come in handy for our household.
I need a new washer and drying so bad and I am head over heels in love with the Samsung Active Wash Washer and Drying. So many amazing features but I am specially loving the capacity (I always have to wash tons of clothes), the dedicated sink and water jet and the dryer’s multi steak technology and dryer rack. Just wow! I know what I’m asking my husband for my Bday!
That multi steam option is so cool. I am loving how this device makes laundry a breeze. I would actually WANT to do laundry!
I would love to have that washing machine at home! I will save up for it, definitely.
I so wish we didn’t buy a front load washer. This set is beautiful to me, just what I wish I had
We are redoing our kitchen & laundry room (& adding back in a powder room a prior owner removed) so space is at a premium!!! I am COVETING the active wash (currently laundry sink is being removed so it just makes sense) can you tell me how much space the washer & dryer require? I’ve measured at the stores but I’m not confident about the dimensions once installed & I’m trying to plan things out to the 1/2 inch & hopinghopinghoping I can make it work! Thanks!!
Naomi,
First of all, I absolutely love my set. They perform beautifully and I have had no issues with them and have been using them since mid May.
I am not sure specifically what set you are getting, but here is a PDF to the washer that has the exact measurements for the washer I have
http://www.brandsmartusa.com/pdfs/manuals/20190276.pdf
and the dryer
http://www.samsung.com/us/system/consumer/product/dv/48/j7/dv48j7700ewa2/DV48J7700EW_032715.pdf
The measurements are on this PDF. The lid to the washer opens very tall so if you have any cabinets that it will set under, make sure you take that into consideration.
Also, Best Buy has a form that you can contact them and ask specific questions. If you click onto a product from the links left above and scroll down to the bottom of the page, there is a “Product Q & A.”
Hope that helps!
Thank you!!! That was a huge help! I met with our contractor today & with those measurements I got the good news that there is just enough space for everything I want to do. Yea! From the specs you sent it seems like you have the 4.8 cubic foot washer & not the 5.2 cubic foot. Is that big enough? In my opinion 4.8 is a BIG washer, definitely big enough. My husband is not convinced though. What has been your experience with the washer size? From the review you seem very happy but would you like it to be a little bigger?
Thanks!!
No I have this washer so maybe I linked to the wrong specs. I found my manual and wanted to make sure this time
http://www.samsung.com/us/appliances/washers-dryers/WA52J8700AP/A2
It is 5.2 cf and it is HUGE
Here is the spec sheet
http://www.samsung.com/us/system/consumer/product/wa/52/j8/wa52j8700apa2/WA52J8700AP_032715.pdf
Ok and this is my dryer: http://www.samsung.com/us/system/consumer/product/dv/52/j8/dv52j8700epa2/DV52J8700EP_032715.pdf
I think I was using an email I had received to find those specs but I went and got my manuals this time.
The tub is really, really large. So large that I can’t reach the bottom and I am 5’7″ tall. I have to get tongs to get the smaller things outs.
I truly couldn’t be happier with this washer and dryer. My son just bought his own home and based on my experience, he bought the same set. So many nice features and my laundry comes out very clean. We recently finished a major remodel and it was so nice having this washer to wash all of the bedding and clothing we had stored away for the past 5 months. It was easy to wash everything in a lot fewer loads. They just needed to be freshened up.
I got a new Samsung pair last year and I actually love them. They are very similar but front loaders, the only thing I envy is that dedicated sink. I don’t have a sink so that would be perfect for me. I’m not a fan of top loaders though but I’m in love with my Samsung duo. 🙂
