What we like about Samsung DV90DG6845LE/U3

  • Heat pump drying keeps energy use low for a machine this size.
  • The 9 kg drum takes a full load of bedding or towels.
  • A 35 min fast cycle dries small loads quickly.
  • Wi-Fi and the SmartThings app let you choose cycles from a phone.
  • A reversible door suits any utility room layout.
  • Allergen and hygiene programs suit bedding and allergy sufferers.

What we don't like about Samsung DV90DG6845LE/U3

  • 64 dB noise is too loud for a bedroom.
  • At 60 cm wide it takes more floor space than compact models.
  • The 35 min fast cycle is meant for reduced loads only.
  • Smart features depend on the SmartThings app and a home Wi-Fi connection.

Verdict

A 9 kg drum and heat pump drying are the main draw of the Samsung DV90DG6845LE/U3, a premium dryer for a busy home. Humidity sensors end the cycle once the load is dry, so less energy goes to waste. A fast 35 min cycle handles a few shirts when you are in a hurry. Wi-Fi works with the SmartThings app, so you can pick a cycle from another room. The door can be hung on either side, which helps in a tight utility room. There are allergen and hygiene programs for bedding. The trade-off is size and noise: at 60 cm wide and 85 cm tall it needs floor room, and 64 dB is loud in a bedroom. It suits a buyer who wants easy phone control and good care for bedding.
