Direct drive machines need to be on solid/concrete floor.
We had to send ours back after it kept dancing out into the middle of the kitchen on our suspended wooden floor. :disappointed:

It was level :/ turns out theres shipping bolts on these things pmsl who would have thought :smile: erm but it still does shake a little excessive and is noisy but for a 1400 spin they come out fantastically dry :smiley:

Arab washing machine burning your house down. What will these mullahs think of next ?

I've had my Samsung 2 years and went dead noisy. After negotiating after sales yesterday which wasn't easy, they sent engineer today and motor mounts had dissintigrated( known issue). Took 10 minutes to repair with stronger mounts now excellent again. A lot better than hotpoint and others where you have keep a drawer full of motor bushes that burn out every month. They service centre is hard work and don't expect them to ring you back even if the say they will. But the repairs are a differnt company and are brill just ad is the machine.

Expired :-(

Which reviewed this exact model as probably okay given general samsung rep in 2012 for £320.

Not sure the advertised £200 saving is as good as it looks.

i made a point of telling my dad if i bothered reading instructions for everything id waste 2years of my life lol as appose to the 10 wasted figuring it out for my self and googling it :smile:

Every washing machine has them. You aren't the first, you won't be the last pmsl ...

Yep transit bolts, doh! Did you not read your instructions? lol :smile:

Bought this today woooohoooo fantastic - if you like possessed washing machines that walk across your kitchen on the 800spin setting! So annoyed, so from having a washing machine that did a job didnt look appealing but worked ive now got a brand new broken one that shakes the house if you attempt to spin it and no doubt a ball ache of a time ahead trying to get it sorted! im not putting hot or cold as i dont know now i obviously bought it thinking hot but now im thinking its as cold as ice... will let you know how i find the customer service tomorrow ffs

It only has a 2 year guarantee but the Samsung has 5?

What about the LG Washing Machine - http://www.appliancesdirect.co.uk/p/f1296tda? It is same price or lower if you use which.co.uk trail account, let me know of any differences as to why samsung is better in this specific models.

Can NOT recommend Samsung washers / washer dryers. Paid over £400 just over 3 years ago when models came with a 2 year guarantee - ours fell apart with fairly moderate use in ~3 years (drum bearings). Samsung want over £780 to fix it for parts alone - have already dished out £100 for engineer to come over for a 5min visit to give it a quick look and hand over the invoice...

anybody found a decent review on this machine in English?

buy a dyson washing machine best out there

More expensive to fix too and no more reliable than a belt drive machine. They do tend to be quieter, though.

On spin does it sound like someone is trying to land a Chinook on top off your house? If so, sounds like you have the same problems as we did!
If it makes you feel better, after the repair, ours does not move at all, and we have wood laminate flooring.
Good Luck :wink:

Well I decided to purchase this washing machine as it comes with a 5 year guarantee as opposed to a cheap £150 washing machine...

This looks a very good deal indeed. I took delivery last Monday of the LG 1400 9kg that was also on here. I must say my wife is thoroughly happy with hers at £359, but this looks a cracking deal and some near £60 cheaper. My brother in law has had a Samsung 5 months and said he is happy with it. Time will tell i suppose. Our Zanussi is outside covered up. Also 1400 spin and in 14 years just the belt come off the once and motor brushes fitted by myself twice. Hope these new fangled machines give us as good service as the older reliable brands did.

That's terrible.
I registered and printed my 5 year warranty and luckily their repairs were carried out fast and efficiently.

Thanks op,
Not sure if its already mentioned, but you have to register your purchase within 90 days on Samsung Website to activate the 5 year warranty.

We have this washing machine but I will never buy a Samsung washing machine again, our heating element blew on ours, I telephoned the number for the 5 year warranty who could not even pull up my details on their system as the department that deals with them were closed they promised to call us back but the call never came, I phoned many many washing repair spare stockists but was told a lot of Samsung parts are not stock items so have to be ordered in specially.
So beware if your machine goes down be prepared to go to the launderette for a while until you can get the thing repaired.

AHHH i just bought the LG direct drive on currys the other day its in my kitchen, i would of probaly saved the £100 an gone for this.

These type of deals and model numbers are always specific to retailers. Reason being they don't have to price match if the model number is not the same and the spec is.

This is the worst combination IMO. A shoddy Samsung washing machine from a dodgy company, Currys. Currys are crooks in my experience.

No. Not all, but a shoddy Samsung. What are you on about?

Why buy. When some confident manufacturers give 5 year warranties for free.

Since the repair, the machine is as it was when delivered from the factory, washes perfectly, spins brilliantly, plays a silly song on completion irritatingly :neutral_face: (yes I know I can turn it off)

But it is noisier than our last machine by quite some margin. Not a big issue, but maybe for others.
We like it, I just hope it’s not naughty again :wink:

Slick.......... indeed

Hi, your issue sounds very different from ours, but just as worrying to be honest :confused:

Ours was a problem with the motor that turns the steel drum and gets upto a massive 1400rpm - its internal to the machine.

It is behaving now though, and I have to say washes very well - if not a little noisy on spin.

Have had this washing machine a few months now (Landlord replaced our broken one with this) and it's really good. Would def recommend

QUIDCO: Expires in a day - Exclusive rate 6% for Samsung washing machines

Samsung washing machines are rubbish IMO. If you're a Samsung loyal, then make sure there's at least 5 years Guarantee with it. Otherwise, if you're not fussed about the brand, buy a machine for a cheap price with a minimum of 5 years guarantee.

Direct drive, good machine

on the website, the model# is WF8EF5E0W4W. Is this a varient model specific to Curry's?

Otherwise it seems identical to the WF80EF5E0W4W on ao.com which has 500+ reviews, good rating, and is listed by them as a best buy.

Arab washing machine burning your house down. What will these mullahs think of next ?

Have had 2 samsung washing machines-only problem I have had was torn rubber door seal,and that was caused by clothes being trapped between door and seal,my own fault,so beware on warranty as may charge you ,as being your fault.I was lucky and did not have to pay!

Well done, shame we already got a beko, heat added

Well, I certainly know what you sound like. Here's a clue, it sounds like a 'tick'

Ps heat added OP. Good price, cheaper than my hubby paid for ours.

Does it sound the same at all?

I've had my eco bubble 3 years , no probs at all, and its on at least twice a day, great machine. You get Friday afternoon machines from everybody , but for the price and results, I'd definitely get another one.

An engineer is coming to see our one month old machine tomorrow. The rubber seal where the door is has somehow torn. Sorry - I don't really understand where your faults were, is it the same place?

My eco bubble is getting on a bit and touch wood had nothing wrong with it. It's been a great washer :smile: mines no noisier than any other washer I've had over the years..

We have just had to have major repairs done to our 4 month old Samsung Eco Bubble. The rubber bushes (anti-vibration mounts) on the spin motor disintegrated. Bits of chewed up rubber everywhere inside the bottom of the machine. Apparently a known issue with a batch of the mounts ... but Samsung waiting for people to report the problem & then effect a repair.

With out them in place the noise at 1400 rpm was horrendous, we genuinely thought the machine was going to disintegrate.

We have had to have the repair guy out twice, once to replace motor bushes with a different type, and again to replace the plastic drum that surrounds the steel drum, as it was damaged by the motor vibration. That was quite some major repair work !! :confused:
Its fine now !! but !!

I have to say even running smoothly ... its hellishly noisy regardless.

Thank heavens for the 5 year Guarantee.

Good price OP ... heat added

Good spot op! I bought this machine just a few weeks ago for around £350. There is never a deal about when your machine packs in eh! Obviously can't comment on long term use but it's a good looking machine and we are v happy with its performance so far.

Got one a while ago. Good machine.

All washed up nice find op have some heat

nice find op, heat added

It's in Currys and don't forget to claim 2.5% TCB

Heat added excellent machine

The best price for this model, very good washing machine
