I wish. The Samsung dryer I purchased last month came with no power cord at all. I wouldn't have minded so much if I'd been informed of this ahead of time, but I didn't learn about it until I was smack dab in the middle of my installation. I had to dig deep into the owner's manual to find the single line of text confirming that the lack of a power cord was not an inadvertent omission at the factory - apparently Samsung doesn't ship power cords with any of their U.S. models. Hard to believe this little nugget of information failed to turn up anywhere during the months of research I did prior to this purchase.
I had to make a late night, last minute Home Depot run to finish my installation. The nice thing is I was able to match my cord to my available power.
