What we like about Samsung WF20DG8650BV

  • The 145 L drum takes a king-size duvet in one load.
  • The 20 kg capacity handles big family washes.
  • A 20-year motor warranty gives long cover.
  • Spare parts are supplied for 15 years.
  • Baby Care and hygiene cycles suit homes with young children.
  • The time remaining indicator shows how long is left on the wash.

What we don't like about Samsung WF20DG8650BV

  • At 87.5 cm deep and 68.6 cm wide, it will not fit a 60 cm cupboard.
  • At 98 kg it needs two people to deliver.
  • Water use is 74 L per cycle, which adds up over a week.
  • The 1100 RPM spin leaves heavy sheets wetter, so they take longer to dry.
  • Spin noise of 76 dB is loud behind a bedroom wall.
  • The ECO cycle takes 240 min, which is long for a routine wash.

Verdict

For a big household that washes bedding often, the Samsung WF20DG8650BV is built around its 145 L drum, which takes a king-size duvet in one load. The 20 kg capacity, 20 washing programs and 20-year motor warranty set it apart. AI technology and an energy saving mode add to the list, and the Baby Care and hygiene cycles suit families with young children. Spare parts are supplied for 15 years, so a pump that fails in year eight can still be fixed. The trade-off is size: at 87.5 cm deep, 68.6 cm wide and 98 kg, it will not fit a 60 cm cupboard and needs two people to deliver. It suits a family of five or more that does frequent bedding washes and has the floor space for a large machine.
