Third-party reviews

What we like about Samsung DV90DG6845LBU3

  • AI technology helps the dryer judge when the load is ready.
  • Humidity sensors stop the cycle once the load is dry.
  • A 9 kg capacity handles a family's washing in one go.
  • A hygiene program suits towels and bedding.
  • Energy class A keeps running costs modest.

What we don't like about Samsung DV90DG6845LBU3

  • At 50 kg it is hard to move on your own.
  • The 60 cm width needs a full-width space.
  • At 60 cm deep it takes up a lot of floor in a small utility room.
  • A 9 kg drum needs two runs for a big week of washing.

Verdict

For a busy household with a lot of washing, the Samsung DV90DG6845LBU3 is a 9 kg dryer worth a look. Its AI technology is the detail that sets it apart, and the humidity sensors work with it so the machine stops when the load is dry. Energy class A keeps running costs modest, so it suits everyday use. The trade-off is the weight. At 50 kg it is hard to move on your own, and the 60 cm width needs a full-width space. It stands 85 cm high and 60 cm deep, the usual footprint of a washing machine, so it lines up neatly beside one. It suits a family with plenty of washing and a fixed spot for the machine, not a flat that gets rearranged often.
