Dryer performance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dryer is much more time consuming than my other Samsung Almost twice the time. It is ventilated and the exhaust duct is clear.

Make sure you don’t plan to side vent your dryer.

My poor rating reflects the fact that this model is advertised as having side and bottom venting options and includes a side venting kit on the product page. HOWEVER, the kit does not work, not even close. I’m guessing it fits Salmsung’s larger capacity dryers but the kit pieces are way too long for this size dryer. I’ve had to sit one piece in half with an angle grinder and gerrymander the other pieces to get a half way acceptable side venting. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised as Samsung as several different sized dryers but only sells one side vent kit. I can’t believe they haven’t addressed this.

Great features packed in a small size.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Has many different drying options. The AI sensor(s) sometimes leave clothes wet/damp and have to dry again.

Great features

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent product so glad we bought Samsung over the others.

Great dryer for small spaces!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this one in January 2024, it worked at the apartment I was but never to the point I wanted. I just moved to a new place and brought the dryer with me, updated the plug to a 4-pin and now the dryer is amazing, takes only 40 minutes to dry a full load of towels. I'm super happy with it. The only Con I would put is the price tag, is more expensive than a full size, but when you don't have the space, is the way to go.

Too Small

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Too small. I liked my last Samsung set a lot more.

Noisy dryer with no fix option

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this unit 8 months ago and it has become very noisy in operation with loud thumping noises. Only use it as a secondary dryer at home for small loads. What is even worse is I cannot get service since Samsung does not have service locally. My only option is troubleshooting which will not solve this problem.

OK, but requires lots of maintenance every load

After putting solar on our house, my wife and I decided to replace any old appliances that had more energy-efficient options available. We were excited to get a heat pump dryer that would eliminate the long vent going outside and also save us some electric use, so we picked up the Samsung ventless 4.0 dryer on sale. Despite following the instructions on this dryer to the letter, after a month or two our clothes quickly started smelling mildew-y after coming out of the dryer. I looked online and most people with the same issue traced it to the heat exchanger bin, and sure enough, despite using the Samsung-supplied brush to clean it every 30 days or so, opening the panel revealed lots of very fine lint deep into the fins that got past the double-filter (that we clean fully after every use. There is no way to clean the exchanger fins thoroughly without disassembling the dryer, which we have not yet done and probably won't unless it gets really bad. Our solution (so far) - after every drying cycle, immediately open up the panel and allow the heat exchanger fins to dry fully. When you leave the panel closed, the entire compartment remains damp for days at a time between loads, making that mildew smell, and it also makes cleaning the fins more difficult. After almost every load, we brush the fins with the Samsung brush, and then I bought a hand-held vacuum with strong suction and brush attachment to get as much residual lint out of the fins as possible. So far this has kept the very fine lint from caking up on the fins and getting wet and holding mildew. Then every few loads I get in there with a longer-bristled brush and make sure I loosen up any lint that got deeper in the fins and vacuum it out. I don't know if any other ventless dryer manufacturer has solved this issue, but my wife and I are on the fence as to whether or not we'd purchase another Samsung unit before getting assurances that we didn't need to do this much daily/weekly maintenance just to dry our clothes without them smelling like mildew. Right now, we're stomaching the extra maintenance because we want to do our part to save electricity. We bought the extra five years of maintenance, and if this dryer breaks after that, we'll be pretty happy to replace it with something else.

Great Appliance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Excellent appliance. It is spacious and has great features.

Perfect size for small space.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installed in area too small for full size unit. I like it's quite operation. I have a longer vent run than normal. It would be nice if there was a stronger exhaust fan.
