Third-party reviews

What we like about Samsung WW90DB8U95GBU2

  • 24 programs cover almost every type of laundry.
  • A 9 kg drum takes a full family load.
  • Automatic dosing measures the detergent for you.
  • The fastest cycle takes only 15 min.
  • AquaStop system protects against hose leaks.
  • The Night/Silent option keeps noise down at night.

What we don't like about Samsung WW90DB8U95GBU2

  • At 67 kg it is hard to move once it is in place.
  • The 72 dB spin is clearly heard in a quiet flat.
  • Spin-drying efficiency class B can leave clothes slightly damp.
  • Six temperature settings limit control for delicate fabrics.

Verdict

Busy households are where the Samsung WW90DB8U95GBU2 fits, with 24 programs and a 9 kg drum. Three things set it apart. The automatic dosing system measures the detergent for you, the water jets help the soap reach the fabric, and the laundry detection system adjusts the cycle to the load. Steam, Wi-Fi and a Night/Silent option add to that. The fastest cycle takes 15 min, and the machine uses 77 kWh a year, which is modest for a drum this size. The trade-off is weight. At 67 kg it is hard to move, and the 72 dB spin is clearly heard in a quiet flat. It suits a family that wants a large, well-equipped machine and is happy to leave it in one place.
