Third-party reviews

What customers like about Samsung WD18DB8995BZT2

  • An 18 kg wash load takes a full family's laundry in one go.
  • An 11 kg dryer can dry a full load at once.
  • Energy use is low at 43 kWh per 100 washing cycles.
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth allow control from a phone.
  • A delay start of up to 24 h helps plan the wash.
  • Unbalanced load detection and child lock add safety.

What customers don't like about Samsung WD18DB8995BZT2

  • Water use is 68 L per wash and 98 L per combined cycle.
  • The 1000 rpm spin leaves clothes wetter, so drying takes longer.
  • At 147 kg it is very hard to move.
  • At 87.5 cm deep and 111 cm high, it needs a large space.
  • There is no interior light and no automatic drawer cleaning.

Verdict

For a large household, the Samsung WD18DB8995BZT2 washes 18 kg and dries 11 kg in one machine. The energy figures are low for a machine this size: 43 kWh per 100 washing cycles and 229 kWh per 100 combined cycles. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth let you start and check it from a phone. Child lock and unbalanced load detection add some safety. The spin runs at 1000 rpm, so clothes come out wetter and take longer to dry. Water is the other trade-off, at 68 L for a wash and 98 L for a combined cycle. Size is the last limit: at 147 kg and 87.5 cm deep, it needs a fixed spot. It suits a large family with space for a big machine and a lot of laundry each week.
