Samsung WF-J1254
$499.00
Released January, 2008
The Pros:Compact size makes it excellent for a small apartment. Can be stacked when paired with it's partner dryer. Very fast spin cycle.
The Cons:Loud spin cycle. Questionable durability. Software is a little buggy. Cycles can end early. Random error codes.
This compact front load washer (2.4 cu. ft.) may be small but this machine has some power (1200 rpm spin speed). It features 14 wash cycles and 5 soil levels just to name a few. It's 24" width is suitable for small spaces.
Other features: delay start, time left indicator, quick wash, and fault check display. The matching dryer is the DV665JW and can be stacked using the SK-2A (comes with the washer) stacking kit.

#samsung_wf_j1254 Don't expect too much for this low priced product. I bought these compact washer and dryer to fit in a very small place.
The software of both machine is crap. Gentle cycle doesn't complete and I had to switch to another cycle to finally get the door open!
The dryer is stopping with strange error code, apparently filter related, but even after cleaning the filter it just refuse to start again. I had to disconnect and reconnect the machine to finally restart it. Frustrating!
Also, I live in Quebec, so the machine control are in French and English, but the French translation is absolutely horrible. 'End' is translatred 'Extr?mit?' wich doesn't make sense in the context.

#samsung_wf_j1254 I would have to agree with Dylan's posting. Bought this pair on sale - half the cost of any other compact on the market at the time. Washes okay when it works, issue is it doesn't always work.
I have this machine up at my cottage, so it sees minimal use - maybe a load or two every other week. have had constant 4E (water pressure) lock-outs. Turn the power off for a week - it works again for a load or two then locks out again. The manual is no help, do every it says to clear the problem - same result. I might have put a dozen loads of laundry through it since day one. It will cost me more to get it diagnosed and repaired, then it cost me originally, by the time the service guys come out, look at it, come back and replace a part, that may or may not be the problem...Never Samsung ever again!!!

#samsung_wf_j1254 Washer started leaking out of the bottom (left side) about 1 cup of water after 2 years.. repair was extremely expensive and Samsung customer call centre was terrible to deal with. Not impressed.

#samsung_wf_j1254 This is a fairly small-sized washer, but still handles a good load. The compact size and stackability with the dryer is perfect for fitting in my apartment. Very quiet cycles and does a great job cleaning clothes. The very fast spin cylce sounds like a small jet engine.
