Third-party reviews

What customers like about Samsung WD11DB7B85GBU3

  • The motor carries a 20-year warranty.
  • The 11 kg drum takes a full family load in one go.
  • Washing earns an A rating for energy use.
  • Automatic dosing measures the detergent for you.
  • A night option keeps the machine quieter while it runs.
  • Wi-Fi and steam are both built in.

What customers don't like about Samsung WD11DB7B85GBU3

  • A washing cycle uses 54 L of water.
  • A combined cycle uses 90 L of water.
  • Combined cycles are only class D for energy.
  • The longest combined cycle runs for 452 min.
  • At 77 kg it is heavy to move.

Verdict

A 20-year motor warranty is the first thing to notice about the Samsung WD11DB7B85GBU3. The drum takes 11 kg of washing and 6 kg for drying, so a family can get a big load done in one go. Washing earns an A rating, but the combined cycle is only class D and uses 90 L of water. A fast wash finishes in 39 min, while a full combined cycle can run for 452 min, so plan a long day for it. A few extras set it apart: AI control, automatic detergent dosing and a night option that runs quietly. At 77 kg it is a heavy machine, so choose its spot before it arrives. It suits a busy household that wants one machine for washing and drying and has the space for it.
