Third-party reviews

What customers like about Samsung WD11DG6B85BKU3

  • The motor carries a warranty of 20 years.
  • An 11 kg drum takes large loads in one go.
  • The Ecodoser dispenses the right amount of detergent.
  • Wi-Fi and the SmartThings app let you control it from a phone.
  • The Night/Silent option runs with less noise after dark.
  • AquaStop protects the floor if a hose leaks.

What customers don't like about Samsung WD11DG6B85BKU3

  • There are only six washing programs.
  • A wash uses 54 L of water, and a combined wash and dry uses 90 L.
  • The fast cycle takes 39 min.
  • At 76 kg it is heavy to move.
  • The combined wash and dry is rated class D.

Verdict

A motor warranty of 20 years is the first thing to know about the Samsung WD11DG6B85BKU3, a large machine for a busy household. It takes 11 kg, and Wi-Fi lets you choose cycles and set timers from a phone through the SmartThings app. AI control adjusts the wash to each load, and the Ecodoser measures the detergent so you do not waste it. A Night/Silent option keeps running noise down. The trade-offs are water use and a short list of programs. A wash uses 54 L, a combined wash and dry uses 90 L, and there are only six washing programs. At 76 kg it is heavy to move, so choose its spot before it arrives. It suits a buyer who washes big loads, likes the dosing handled and can live with a heavy machine.
