Third-party reviews

What we like about Samsung WW11DG6B85LBU2

  • 24 washing programs give plenty of choice.
  • An 11 kg capacity handles big family loads.
  • The automatic dosing system measures detergent for you.
  • The laundry detection system adjusts the wash to the load.
  • AquaStop guards against leaks from the hoses.
  • Energy efficiency class A.

What we don't like about Samsung WW11DG6B85LBU2

  • The fastest cycle takes 39 min.
  • The 11 kg drum needs a good deal of space around it.
  • At 67 kg it is heavy to move.
  • Front loading means you bend to load and unload.

Verdict

24 washing programs and an 11 kg drum set the Samsung WW11DG6B85LBU2 apart for a large household. It is a black, front-loading machine that stands on its own, 60 cm wide and 85 cm tall. An automatic dosing system measures detergent for you, which is handy if you dislike guessing amounts. Laundry detection and AI technology adjust the wash to the load, and AquaStop guards against leaks from the hoses. The trade-offs are time and space. The fastest cycle takes 39 min, and a drum this size needs a good amount of room in the house. At 67 kg it is heavy to move. It suits a family with plenty of laundry that does not mind a longer cycle in return for a big drum.
