Verdict
The Samsung DV80DG52B0AEEC dries evenly and has an app and a sanitising cycle, but energy class C and a steady compressor hum weigh against it.

Third-party reviews

What we like about Samsung DV80DG52B0AEEC

  • About 2% moisture is left in tests, so clothes can go straight into the wardrobe.
  • The AI eco mode lowers the power used on a full cotton load.
  • A 35 min quick cycle suits a short laundry day.
  • High-temperature sanitising suits homes with allergies or small children.
  • An 8 kg drum takes a full load for a family.
  • The reversible door can open on either side.

What we don't like about Samsung DV80DG52B0AEEC

  • At 48 kg it is hard to move on your own.
  • A steady compressor hum starts in the first hour and is noticeable at night.
  • Energy class C means more power for daily drying than class A heat pumps need.
  • The condensate tank fills at 8 kg, so you may have to empty it mid-cycle unless it is plumbed in.

Verdict

Eight kilograms is the load the Samsung DV80DG52B0AEEC takes, and it suits a family that dries a full load most days. Its strongest point is how dry the clothes come out: in tests about 2% moisture was left, so towels can often go straight into the wardrobe. The AI eco mode cut a full cotton cycle from about 1.9 kWh to 1.55 kWh in tests. A 35-minute quick cycle helps when time is short, and a sanitising option suits homes with allergies or children. The trade-off is noise. The compressor hums from the first hour, enough to notice at night. It is energy class C, so daily drying draws more power than with class A heat pumps. It suits a household that wants very dry laundry and can live with a bit of noise.
