Samsung SteamWasher 419AAW Review
Don't let a lower price point fool you, the Samsung WF218AN will meet most of your expectations and beyond. With 4 cubic feet of capacity, you'll quickly make a dent in your dirty laundry. Capacity is perfect for a family of four. Capacity is only 0.5 cubic feet under the flagship models capacity and approximately half the cost.
A few things are sacrificed with the WF218AN when compared to higher end Samsung's, including capacity, lack of the SilverCare system and no steam wash cycle. Because SilverCare allows you to wash dark colors in cold water, it prolongs the life of darker colored laundry. Consider moving up to another Samsung model if you plan on washing a lot of dark clothing. Energy and water efficiency is excellent on this washer. Wash cycle is 90 minutes. Noise and vibration are kept to a minimum with Samsungs proprietary Vibration Reduction Technology (VRT), even when spinning a 1100RPM. This is an excellent washing machine at $900.

Samsung WF218AN Strengths Review:
#1) Great Size: Above adequate capacity at 4.0 cubic feet allowing you to wash more clothing per given load. Will easily accommodate King Sized comforter.
#2) Cleans Well: Wash consitantly comes out clean, great user reviews which commonly speak to this attribute.
#3) Intuitive User Interface: Easy function control allowing quick selection and execution of wash cycles. Learning curve is minimal with this allowing you to setup and start using this washer right away.
#4) Slick Styling: The Samsung WF218AN is one great looking washer.
#5) Smart Features: Water levels adjust for smaller sized loads.
#6) Very Quiet Operation: Among the quietest washing machines reviewed. Vibration Reduction Technology (VRT) balances the load to make sure there's no oven rocking. Samsung was also smart to eliminate gears and belts and make this a direct drive drum, also contributing to lower noise levels.
#7) Attention to Detail: The Samsung WF218AN tub's design incorporates recessed holes which help reduce the amount of friction on laundry, ultimately helping prolong clothing life and making this washer very gentle on clothing. User reviews noted this washers gentleness on clothing.
#8) Very Efficient: Water and Energy efficiency will be sure to save you significant money annually.
Samsung WF218AN Weaknesses Review:
#1) Minor Detail: Interior light goes off too quickly when unloading laundry. A slight annoyance.
#2) No steam wash: Not to be expected at this pricepoint but available on higher end models. Steam wash cycles help reduce wear on clothing and help reduce the need to pretreat tough stains.
Conclusion:
It's hard to find weakness with the Samsung WF218AN. The ultimate laundry machine is one step up to the Samsung WF44AAP which adds some capacity (0.5 cu ft), faster spin cycles, SilverCare cleaning system and steam wash. This machine is a very good buy.
