let's start with the things I really love about this Samsung front load washing machine it has 14 cleaning cycles a massive 5 cubic foot capacity and it looks really nice in its black stainless finish I also think the touch panel is really simple its intuitive it's easy to use and control so that's all the good stuff let's get that out of the way the problem is this gimmicky hatch like device on the front here it's called the ad wash the idea is that you're adding things that you forgot to add to your cleaning cycle mid-cycle a sock something else random that you just forgot to add you can just stick it in and keep going with your cycle but it doesn't actually work that way you actually have to push pause on the machine anyway and that unlocks both the main door and the ad wash door so you might as well just open the main cabinet to get whatever you want in especially if it's a bulky item because I'm always forgetting all kinds of different stuff not just my tiny items so it's kind of a cool feature in theory but it doesn't actually add a lot of value the good news is that you're not actually spending a premium on this this is actually a really high performing impressive machine so even if you don't love the ad wash you can still get this machine and feel good about it definitely a model I would recommend
