What we like about Samsung WF90F09C4SU2

  • Energy use of 22 kWh per 100 cycles keeps power use low.
  • The 71.5 L drum takes bulky duvets and big loads.
  • 24 washing programs cover nearly every fabric.
  • The motor carries a 20-year warranty.
  • Pause and add lets you slip in a forgotten sock mid-cycle.
  • Six spin speeds let you match the spin to each fabric.

What we don't like about Samsung WF90F09C4SU2

  • At 75 kg it is hard to move on your own.
  • The spin reaches 72 dB, which is loud enough to hear from another room.
  • Each cycle uses 50 L of water.
  • The 9 kg capacity means a large family needs more loads.

Verdict

Low energy use is what sets the Samsung WF90F09C4SU2 apart, with 22 kWh per 100 cycles. It suits a household that washes often and wants plenty of choice over each load. The drum holds 71.5 L, so duvets fit without much folding. Its 24 washing programs and six spin speeds let you match each fabric closely. Pause and add lets you slip in a forgotten sock mid-cycle. The motor comes with a 20-year warranty, a long cover for the part that does the hard work. The trade-off is weight and noise: at 75 kg it is hard to shift, and the spin reaches 72 dB, which you will hear in the next room. It fits a buyer who wants a big drum and low energy use, and does not mind a loud spin.
