Return this machine if you can. We had ours for 4 months before it went out of control during a spin cycle. Spoke with Samsung directly and they offered a replacement but we were to terrified it would happen again. It dented our dryer and left marks all along our wall. The machine move itself out of position by 2 feet and turned itself 90 degrees. The outside case of the machine looked like it had been run over by a truck and the metal brackets that hold the drum in place were broken as well. Thank goodness no one was in the laundry room when it happened. Be careful and try to return it.

Haven't put mine in the wash yet, but it looks to be sturdy construction. I'm going to give it a shot on gentle cycle and see what happens. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I did the standard wash with no detergent. Maybe too much detergent is being used? I had no problems with repelling water at all.

No, I've never had any problems. After use, I hold the metal part and wash with soap and water, dry.

It's probably mineral deposits from the water. You should be able to clean most of it out. Mine does the same thing, and after cleaning, the metal looks just fine.

There's an exhaust on one of the sides. You have to vacuum in favor of the exhaust side to keep the dirt swept up from blowing anywhere.

I would say the sound level is mostly 'average' -- no beeps or buzzes, but lots of swishing and humming. However, the loudest part is actually quite loud, and lasts maybe 30 seconds. The first time I heard it, I thought something was wrong with the washer, but after talking to a technician, was assured it was normal. I think it happens at the end of the rinse cycle, when the tub is spinning very fast, and water is pouring in for the rinse, and the clothes are getting compressed against the side. Due to this, at some point the clothes are no longer covering the bottom of the washer, and the water pouring in is hitting the empty bottom of the metal tub directly. This sound of water hitting the tub is startling, and probably child-waking loud if it's near their room.

Not normal. I have had mine for almost a year and use it in and out of the shower. Still looks brand new.

I have not had such a problem. Be certain that one handle is fully open, the other fully closed and the rubber washers fully seated. Good luck!

It is all metal. It also has a lot of flow when all of the way on. We like it!

It's so funny. I like this q&a thing. Idk I have has this happen before. Does there seem like there is less material in the tube as well and are the rubber washer things different. My guess is that it just is extremely old and things change in the tube. The company will send you a new one though if you call them and send it to them.

There are two fans on one side. It is a bit loud. Fan noise is high pitched.

It is noisy. I love it, but it is noisy. Also, a lot of steam comes out, going forward. I had to move it by a window instead of my bed.

I looked at the photo the buyer from Texas posted, and the "rust" looks more like burnt on grease to me. Nothing a Scotchbrite pad couldn't handle. I'll upload a photo of the area where the handle touches the shank. It's spread apart so you can see that area more clearly. I've used these maybe 50 or 60 times since I bought them. If rust was going to form anywhere, it would start in this area. I don't put them in a dishwasher either. They clean up easily enough by hand.

With high pressure and full open valves it will spray all over. The wide spray is very fine and therefore it splashes.

pretty high pressure. I make sure not to let it hit the grout in my shower.
