Third-party reviews

What we like about Samsung DV90DG52A0ABEC

  • The AI recommends programs based on your drying routines.
  • SmartThings lets you manage the dryer from your phone.
  • A 35 min fast cycle dries a small load quickly.
  • A hygiene program gives you an extra option for sensitive loads.
  • Humidity sensors stop the cycle when the load is dry.
  • A reversible door lets you change the side it opens on.

What we don't like about Samsung DV90DG52A0ABEC

  • Energy class C means it uses more power per load than a class A dryer.
  • At 48 kg it is heavy to shift.
  • At 60 cm wide it needs a full-width space.
  • The 35 min fast cycle only covers small loads.

Verdict

Smart tools lead the Samsung DV90DG52A0ABEC, a 9 kg heat pump dryer for homes that like technology doing some of the work. The AI looks at your drying routines and recommends programs, and the SmartThings app lets you manage the dryer from your phone. A 35 min fast cycle is handy when you need one small load in a hurry. A hygiene program, humidity sensors and a reversible door add flexibility. The trade-off is efficiency. It carries energy class C, so it uses more power per load than a class A dryer, and at 48 kg it is heavy to shift. It suits a household that wants quick cycles and smart help, and it is happy to let an app do the planning.
