We like everything about our Samsung dryer, but it did have one minor manufacturing fault. The latch mechanism was pulling out of the cabinet each time we opened the dryer door. (see photo) I noticed that the latest Samsung dryer models have redesigned this mechanism so that it is now held securely into the cabinet with screws, whereas the one on our dryer is a press-fit type with no additional fasteners.

Never again will I buy this product from this company.
Dryer broke a few days before warranty ran out. No power - a common and known fault - so stated the technician and information found on several web sites. The technician was very difficult to work with & showed up hours after supposed scheduled time - totally unprofessional. His car leaked oil on my driveway. The dryer works but one pixel on screen is weakly lit, but it's working! Now the washer machine is acting up, of course it's out of warranty period.

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY
I couldn't have designed a dryer better if I was asked to. This dryer is every person's dream dryer because it contains every setting that one could hope for--and more. It comes complete with steam for wrinkles and it even has a setting that should you leave your clothes in the dryer for a long time, you can set a wrinkle setting, turn it on, and it will remove the wrinkles! Imagine: no more ironing (unless of course they are REALLY wrinkled badly)! What a time saver THAT is!
There is a sweater rack that comes with it, to dry sweaters, sneakers, pillows and even children's small stuffed animals on it.
Samsung thought of everything with this dryer. Thanks!

GREAT ELECTRONICS
This is one of the easiest electronic dryers I found. If you can push buttons and know what settings you need, this is the dryer to get. It almost sets itself. It dries every load just right, Never too damp after finishing and never burning hot when I take the clothes out. The new "Merlot" color has given my wash room a boost. It truly brightens the room with the maroon color.

Just received my Samsung Dryer
Wonderful and easy to use. I like the steam option. Maybe my dry cleaning bill will go down with this?... The installer was very knowledgeable of the product and guided me through the easy get started process.

Needed repair in less than 3 months after purchasing
My wife and I had a our dryer for approximately 8 years without any issue and we decided it was time to start searching for a new model. We shopped around and researched based on customer reviews. We also asked some of our friends their opinion. The final decision was SAMSUNG. The dryer had all the bells and whistles and it seemed to work great...at first. In less than 3 months the tumbler had stopped working.
I am aware some items may have a faulty component...no sweat! We called customer support to have a tech come out. The tech was at our facility within 72hrs. He came and fixed the tumbler within an hour or so. Sounds like a happy ending, right? Unfortunately, 24hrs later the dryer stopped heating up and now we are back to square one.
I am extremely disappointed in the quality of the product. I own several Samsung items and the quality has never been an issue. This will be the last time I purchase a Samsung appliance.

Efficient and Effective
This clothes dryer is loaded with features, and can incorporate steam to make a good dryer incredible. The lint filter is very efficient and easy to access and clean. Rarely but sometimes thicker parts of garments (elastic waste bands) and more robust clothing can still be damp after a normal cycle but that is mostly due to mixing various clothing styles along with terrycloth items. There is one peculiarity that I cannot seem to alleviate: Sheets, particularly fitted sheets will bundle into a ball even trapping other clothing in the bundle. Not only is this inefficient, it is rather frustrating. In all this is a very effective machine with several useful functions, a great design and is fairly quiet when in operation.

only one problem
ok so i love the features and bought this dryer because of the great reviews and product reputation but one problem i have is that the cycles are not completely changable like i would like a normal load with more dry and be able to set it on low ...but i cant the only one that has low heat is wool unless i used timed dry i do not like timed dry because i lke the dryer to turn off when it detects no moisture left and it does not say in the owners manual if this is the case i also think that i should be able to program my cycle button w any combination i want but this is not the case either ...kinda bummed

Trouble with Dryer
The dryer is noisy most of the time. Seems to only be quiet if running on high temperature. It has two different types of noises. A chirpy and a rubbing like noise. Both noises were apparent in the beginning. Now, one of the noises seems to have disappeared while the other one seems to come if I don't have the dryer on high.

More features than I ever used
My wife and I have only used this machine for two months, and used many of the features for different clothes and material that I've never used before. The results were better feeling bed sheets, shirts, blankets, towels, etc. I didn't think settings would matter as long as the dryer is set to hot. The drying efficiency is also great in comparison to how long it takes. a normal dry time for my usual casual clothes takes 35 minutes, for 5 days worth of different outfits or a light-medium load. Also the steam feature something everyone probably wants to have but doesn't need, and i feel like it should be a standard. Also it didn't increase my electric bill much after using it 5-6 times a month. Also an added bonus is the cool LED light inside the drum.
The only thing I can think of that it can improve on is the touch buttons have a slight delay.

Rare Find!
Sometimes it's hard to find something that actually works as advertised. Even harder to find something that works better than advertised! My dryer, the Samsung DV42H5200GW, not only works as well as advertised, but my wife actually enjoyed the "Bells and Whistles." Enough to comment on how incredible this machine is!!!
