Technological innovations are heating up in the area of household appliances, and one of the places that you have finally fallen in love with is the laundry room. We’re just beginning to see washing machines that can communicate with your phone, allowing you to control and monitor cycles from remote parts of your home. The Samsung 9100 Series washing machine won’t do that, but it’s packed with enough technological goodness to make you the envy of the entire bathroom block. Plus, he’s really, really ridiculously attractive.
The envy of car washes around the world
The best thing about washers and dryers is that they don’t necessarily have to be pretty—they’re almost always hidden behind locked doors. However, you may want to have the plugs in the hallway when you take a look at the 9100 series washer, the partner of the Samsung DV56H9100GG/A2 dryer. This impressive front loader features a glossy dark gray finish (Samsung calls it “onyx”) with chrome accents and sleek lines, with a nice flat work surface on top. The tinted convex doors give a modern and futuristic look.
Above the door you have a soap drawer, which is divided into three useful compartments: pre-wash, detergent and bleach/softener. The machine automatically dispenses each soap at the appropriate cycle time.
In the center of the top front panel is a sizable control knob, which has a flashing blue LED to indicate the selected function. As for cycles, there are 15 presets to choose from, from normal and quick wash to towel, deep steam, and even “sanitize.”
Finally, there’s a four-inch LED display flanked by additional function buttons, with power and play and start/pause buttons positioned to the right. The latter are slightly domed and give a good tactile response when pressed.
Lots of familiar features
The Samsung 9100 is a robust washer with a whopping 5.6 cu. ft. capacity that can do laundry for the whole family. It offers nearly every feature a busy family could want, including deep steam to remove stains, eco-friendly cold for energy-saving daily washes, and an allergen-optimized cycle for dust mites, pet dander, and more.
You may want to have lobby connections when you take a look at the 9100 series.
With preset settings, you can customize each load to your specific needs using the temperature, spin, and ground level adjustment buttons. You can also add steam, extra rinse and extra spin, as well as press the “Super Speed” button to shorten the wash time. The only thing missing that we’d like to see is a steam-only option that doesn’t use water, which could be useful for certain garments.
There’s also a My Cycle feature that lets you save a custom wash setting with the push of a button, and you can program the washer to start later with the Delay End feature. Here you set a countdown timer of up to 24 hours to determine when charging should begin. In addition, there is a child lock function that automatically locks the door and prevents accidental activation of the washing machine.
And of course, you must love the Self Clean+ feature, which kills any mold or bacteria that might be inside the machine. The 9100 washer reminds you to activate this feature after every 40 loads.
While the Samsung 9100 doesn’t include Wi-Fi or any built-in apps, there is a bit of “smart” functionality with the Smart Care app. The app, which is available for both iOS and Android, uses your phone’s camera to analyze the error code on the machine’s screen, and then provides you with countermeasures to fix any issues. We didn’t experience any bugs with our test drive, but we can see how this app can be a good time saver.
Sound of silence
If you install this washer yourself, and we do not recommend that you do so, be sure to follow the instructions in their entirety. We didn’t and were rewarded with a spin cycle that sounded like a helicopter taking off inside the office. After correcting our mistake (shipping screws, a common mistake), the 9100 washer rewarded us with one of the quietest spin cycles we’ve ever heard. It is not silent, but the sound is not unpleasant in a room with the door closed. In fact, we find white noise quite relaxing.
Plenty of towels came out freely and it smelled as fresh as a spring morning.
As for the washing cycle, it cannot be heard from the next room, and the soft sound is barely noticeable even when sitting 3 meters away. However, the “buzzer” (if you can call it that) is loud enough to be heard from the next room or down the hall, and the tune plays for 15-20 seconds, giving you a chance to hear it if you’re wandering around the house. While there is a Sound option in the controls, there doesn’t seem to be a way to change the tune or alert volume, or even mute it. This instruction is conspicuous by its absence in the manual.
When it comes to dirty work, the 9100 washer is up to the task. A stack of towels came out in its place and it smelled as fresh as a spring morning after a cycle of about an hour. Similarly, the unit handled our deli delicately, actually exceeding its estimated 43-minute cycle time by a few minutes. A mixed load that included T-shirts, sportswear, and assorted other clothing came out as clean as a whistle, including dirt that would surely have doomed a pair of work pants.
Conclusion
Tired of doing laundry for hours? The Samsung 9100 series washing machine can help. The extra-large capacity rivals some commercial washers, and you won’t have to take your clothes to the laundromat to take advantage of it. Plus, this unit comes packed with familiar features designed to make life a little easier. And we dare to say that you will not get tired even when you look at it.
But all that practicality and functionality comes at a price. The 9100 retails for $1,699, but you won’t pay that. You’ll pay double, about $3,400, because you’ll also want the matching steam dryer. What does a washing machine have in common with Lay’s potato chips? Nobody seems to be able to buy just one.
