Samsung WF0400N2N washing machine review: a beautiful budget model for a small family

In this review, we will tell you in detail about the washing machine Samsung WF0400N2N, which today is a very popular model, and there is absolutely nothing surprising in this: the brand is promoted, and the device itself is very cheap. How good is this washing machine and how durable is it in operation? After testing it, we have certain conclusions on this score, with which we will acquaint you.

First, let's briefly understand the alphanumeric designation of our today's beauty. In particular, let's take a look at what the WF0400N2 code contains. So, the first two letters "WF" indicate that this model of washing machine has a front loading. The first number following these letters symbolizes the year of its creation "0" - before us is a household device of the model of 2010. The next two digits inform the user about the maximum possible load of laundry: the number "40" indicates the maximum weight, which is 4.0 kg. The fourth digit of this code series indicates the maximum number of drum revolutions during spinning of the laundry: "0" - limit 1000 revolutions per minute. Subsequent letters and a number inform us about the presence of certain characteristic functions of the washing machine and indicate the color of the case. In our case, this is the presence of the electronic intelligent control of washing Fuzzy Control, Volt Control technology, as well as the exclusive Silver + function. The body color of "our" model is white.

The appearance of the washing machine Samsung WF0400N2N

It seems to us that the design of this household device is one of its main advantages. The most important thing is that this model is absolutely not a budget option. If the information display were also a little larger, then there is nothing to complain about (the screen is two-digit and even with all the available light indicators, it is not able to display all the necessary information). However, the Samsung WF0400N2N looks very, very good. Due to the presence of a round metal control button in the center of the dashboard, the model in question even slightly resembles an expensive washing machine.

Washing machine Samsung WF0400N2N in all its glory

If we draw a comparative line between the Samsung brand and other manufacturers of budget devices popular in our country, such as Hotpoint-Ariston, Indesit and Beko, then the South Korean company even in the lower price segment manages to produce quite interesting, in terms of design, washing machines. But there is a certain drawback in this matter: for example, the control of this household appliance is not the most standard, therefore, such a decision may upset the supporters of the rotary control handle. Instead of the usual rotary knob, the Samsung WF0400N2N has a regular button (washing mode switch) - large and in its shape very much resembles a rotary knob. This idea was adopted by the engineers of the company precisely because of the small number of washing programs. As a matter of fact, this removes one of the unreliable elements of budget washing machines: the button, unlike the regulator, will not be able to loosen up here.

Consider the rest of the dashboard. The information screen is located above the program selection button, and it is not conspicuous until the washing machine is turned on. The keys for setting the desired temperature, spin speed, as well as additional options for the device have an oval shape and are very convenient to press (some users may think that these keys are capable of "flipping in both directions" - again, with budget options for devices of such a sophistication design we are not used to seeing). The "Start / Pause" button, located under the "On" button, has the same elongated shape, but slightly larger.

A very pleasant moment in the washing machine is its dimensions: in front of us is a very narrow household device, the thickness of which is only 34 centimeters.As for the width and height, they are standard: respectively 60 and 85 centimeters. In addition, the loading compartment, as can be seen even from the photograph, is unusually large here, the diameter of which is 46 centimeters - more than half the height of the entire device! Due to this design, it is very easy to place things in the drum and unload them, and after all, at this stage of washing the laundry, most of the tears and damage to the fabric are carried out. With all these parameters, "our" washing machine weighs 55 kg, in a word - it is very light, and as a result of this, one would expect considerable noise during washing and spinning. However, due to the high-quality balancing of the device, this phenomenon is not observed at all (but we will return to this issue a little later).

Samsung WF0400N2N washing machine overly thin

Outwardly, the model we are considering looks quite neat, everything is thoroughly thought out. But the LED indicators on the control panel, in our opinion, could be slightly smaller, but at this affordable price, such an interesting information screen and such a large loading hatch are not offered by all manufacturers of washing machines. We also like the design of similar budget household devices from the Candy company - these units have a very pleasant design, but nevertheless, we must admit that, according to this indicator, the Samsung WF0400N2N models of household machines from the Italian manufacturer simply overshadows. Just keep in mind that the information display for the washing machine we are considering has only two segments, so information about the remaining operating time of the device, as well as the errors that have occurred, are provided to the user in a very truncated form. But on the other hand, the size of the numbers is quite large: even a visually impaired person will see everything perfectly without eye strain.

Characteristics of the Samsung WF0400N2N model

In this direction, not everything is as rosy as we would like, and especially in the most important parameter of the device - in the maximum weight of the load of laundry. The maximum four kilograms of things is the norm for a small family of two or three people, and nothing else. And the reason here is not the excessive narrowness of this household device. For example, Daewoo has models that, with slightly larger dimensions and a similar (sometimes even lower) cost, can hold 6 or even 7 kilograms of linen. But then "our" washing machine wins in a completely different matter, for example, in the elegance of its appearance and the level of energy consumption. However, if the user plans to wash things for more people, and not for the provided two or three people, then this device will practically not turn off. In this case, you will need to wash more than once or twice a week (for example, as in models Hotpoint-Ariston WMSF 605 B CIS and Daewoo DWD-F1081), but three or four times.

But if such a small load suits you perfectly, then everything looks very good in all other matters. The washing efficiency class here is the highest - A (however, today it is rare for which model this indicator will be lower). And the efficiency class of spinning in devices for such a cost is more than worthy - C. The drum during spinning can reach speeds of up to 1000 rpm. This is quite enough for the highest quality spinning of almost any laundry (with the exception of very dense fabrics), while its residual moisture is less than 62 percent. All that remains is to dry it a little, iron it and that's it - the linen can be used.

Note that 600 rpm, which, in fact, are recommended for silk and woolen fabrics, for some reason cannot be set in our washing machine. Apparently, the manufacturers made such a decision so as not to spoil the overall design with an unnecessary, fifth in a row LED indicator.Still, spinning is regulated very well: for example, if there is a desire to remove the laundry from the washing machine a little earlier or to reduce the power consumption, it can be completely turned off.

Information panel and controls of the Samsung WF0400N2N washing machine

It is worth noting the class of electricity consumption by the device - here we have an indicator of A + at all, which is practically unique for washing machines of similar cost. 0.16 kW / h per kilogram of laundry is very, very good, but with such a load indicator, it is quite difficult to achieve such an energy consumption. With the maximum load inside the drum and the standard Cotton program, the power consumption of the Samsung WF0400N2N is only 0.68 kWh. Not only is this household device inexpensive, it also saves users' money during its operation.

The water consumption for washing is not that small - 43 liters, or 10.75 liters per one kilogram of clothes. This, of course, affects the cost of water supply services, but the detergent is washed out completely during rinsing.

The body of the washing machine is assembled very high quality (you can see it even in the photographs), any backlashes and gaps in the body are not observed. The Samsung WF0400N2N feels like a solid monolithic unit, and its confident design contributes to this. As already noted in this material, a device for such a low price is capable of what more expensive units (of course, if we close our eyes to the weight of the load).

As we promised, let's take a look at the noise generated during operation. As a rule, this indicator in narrow and very narrow washing machines is much higher than that of analogs of standard sizes: it is much more difficult for them to keep a huge mass of linen "raging" inside them. Samsung WF0400N2N is not an exception to this rule and also does not belong to the quietest devices. But if you characterize "our" washing machine as a whole, then everything is much better than one might expect. If you connect the unit correctly (read the User's Manual!) And place it perfectly in a horizontal plane, then things will be washed very quietly, without exceeding the noise level of 50 dB. Even during the spinning of the laundry, the noise level in rare cases will exceed 70 dB (the sound of the washing machine is, so to speak, pleasant, and not with some kind of anguish). While washing near the device, you can communicate quite calmly, and even if this model is installed in your kitchen, it will not be able to break the family idyll, and, oddly enough, Samsung WF0400N2N will not jump on the floor either.

We draw your attention to the fact that this "tricky" washing machine will not start spinning if there is a lot of laundry in the drum and at the same time it is stacked unevenly - it will take 10 minutes to twist it quietly, and then finish its work without spinning.

Programs, controls, options

Model programs Samsung WF0400N2N, as we have already noted, not so many - only eight. These are the modes "Cotton", "Synthetics", "Hand wash wool" (only woolen items that can be machine washed), "Baby" (wash baby clothes), "Heavily soiled" (wash very dirty laundry), "Quick 29 "(quick cleaning of not very dirty fabrics in 29 minutes)," Spin "(thorough spin cycle), as well as the" Rinse + Spin "mode. As you yourself have seen, this is a minimal set of programs, but those that are really necessary. From ourselves we add that it would be possible to provide for the "Delicate wash" mode, but this is so, little things.

Right side of the Samsung WF0400N2N control panel

But on the other hand, the user has one button "Option", which is responsible for additional washing parameters. By pressing it you can set the following options: "Pre-wash", "Extra rinse" and "Intensive wash". The names of all the listed options speak for themselves.By pressing this key alternately, you select one of these three modes or a combination of them.

The button to the left of the information display acts as a timer - also very useful in the operation of the device. Note that in this household device, absolutely all actions to control it are carried out by means of buttons, while there are even no "swing" keys. Based on this, in order to set a particular program, temperature, spin speed, timer, as well as an additional option, you need to press each of these buttons several times. This solution makes operating the washing machine too easy, but at the same time it is not very economical in terms of repeated gestures.

If anyone is interested to know, the Samsung WF0400N2N erases not only quietly, but also fast enough. The standard wash cycle takes approximately 2 hours and 6 minutes, and the fast cycle takes about 29 minutes. The information screen displays data before the completion of a process, but at the same time there are such moments that the display can be mistaken for 5-10 minutes. But do not be upset, this can be the case with the most expensive models from various manufacturers.

Additional technologies and functions of the Samsung WF0400N2N washing machine

It is good news that even in such a budget version, all the most necessary functions are present, which are not even present in some expensive units. So, the protection against water leakage is fully functional here, and not partial. Based on this, in a critical case, not only the water supply to the hoses is blocked, but also the hatch is blocked from the inside, preventing water overflow. There is also a blocking of buttons from access by children, as well as a control system for the optimal level of foam. Imbalance control is also provided.

The Volt Control system, in the event of a power failure, allows the washing machine to resume the wash cycle from the interrupted place. In addition, this system also protects the electric motor from possible power surges.

Thanks to the durable and smooth ceramic coating of the water heating element, limescale deposits will not form on its surface - and this is a guarantee of quick water heating and confidence that the efficiency of the Samsung WF0400N2N washing machine will not decrease over time. The drum of the household device we are considering is made using the Diamond technology (holes for water in and out, reduced and recessed into the depths of the honeycomb, thanks to which the laundry is protected from possible damage during the wash cycle). Judging by the fact that the fibers of the fabric really remain the same as before the start of washing, and the Samsung WF0400N2N model does not consume so much electric energy, then these statements of South Korean engineers have a rational grain.

Very often Samsung washing machines have an exclusive Silver + feature. Washing machine Samsung WF0400N2N is no exception. This function takes advantage of the natural properties of silver ions, which, during the wash, make the laundry not only perfectly clean, but also subsequently eliminate the growth of bacteria on it.

In addition, thanks to the Silver + function, the washing process can be carried out even in cool water and without the use of any chemical detergents.

We also note the presence of an automatic diagnostic system, which allows the user to inform the user about possible malfunctions of the device through the information display. For example, "dE" - the door is open, "CH" - there is no water supply, "SE" - the water drain or filter is supposedly clogged, "CE" - the cold and hot water supply hoses are reversed, and so on. The washing machine is able to control the temperature inside the plastic tank.To the right of the information display there are three red LED indicators that inform you at which stage the cleaning process is currently in progress: washing, rinsing or spinning. Such an indicator is a rather useful engineering idea, which is not present in all models of washing machines.

A brief summary of the Samsung WF0400N2N washing machine review

So what do we end up with? Before us is a very compact model and at the same time quite stable, with an excellent modern design and good technical characteristics. It is easy to learn, has an intuitive and very convenient control panel, is stable and durable. The quality of washing exceeds all expectations, and the spin is also at a height, the price-quality ratio fully justifies itself.

Intelligent system VoltControl is able to protect "our" household device from voltage surges - washing machine Samsung WF0400N2N can withstand a voltage surge of up to 400 volts. If the mains voltage is excessively low or high for a long period of time, the device will enter standby mode and will automatically resume washing as soon as the mains voltage returns to normal.

But with all the advantages listed, there are also disadvantages - this is a small load of laundry and a small set of available programs.

Washer Samsung WF0400N2N equipped with a ceramic water heater with increased reliability and anti-limescale. The washing class is A, the electrical energy consumption class is A +, the spin class is C, and the maximum spin speed is 1000 rpm. All indicators are more than good.

The model we have considered will become an indispensable helper for a family of two or three people who wants to get a beautiful and original washing machine without spending extra money. But for a large family, this unit, in our opinion, is hardly suitable.
