Third-party reviews

What we like about Samsung WW11DB8B95GHU2

  • An 11 kg capacity takes big family loads in one go.
  • Energy use of 32 kWh per 100 cycles keeps energy use low.
  • 24 programs cover a wide range of fabrics and loads.
  • Automatic dosing takes the measuring out of detergent use.
  • Steam technology is included for refreshing clothes.
  • It works with the SmartThings app.

What we don't like about Samsung WW11DB8B95GHU2

  • At 67 kg it is hard to move.
  • Even the fastest cycle takes 39 min, which is slow for a quick load.
  • The 72 dB spin is loud.
  • It is self-standing, so it cannot tuck under a worktop.

Verdict

Eleven kilograms of washing fits in one load of the Samsung WW11DB8B95GHU2, and that is its main draw. Energy use is 32 kWh per 100 cycles, which keeps it low for a machine this big. It has 24 programs, a steam option and an A energy rating, which gives plenty of choice for different loads. Automatic dosing handles the detergent for you, and the machine works with the SmartThings app. The trade-off is time: even the fastest cycle takes 39 min, which is long when you are in a hurry. At 67 kg it is heavy, and at 85 cm high it needs a clear spot in the kitchen, so check the space before buying. It suits a family that does big weekly washes and wants a smart, low-use machine with plenty of programs.
