What we like about Samsung WW90DG6U25LE/U3

  • 23 programs cover a wide range of fabrics.
  • Wi-Fi and the SmartThings app let you control a wash from your phone.
  • The 9 kg capacity takes large loads in one go.
  • Automatic drawer cleaning keeps the detergent drawer clear.
  • The delay start lets you set a wash to finish when you need it.
  • An inverter motor and a 1400 RPM spin support the wash.

What we don't like about Samsung WW90DG6U25LE/U3

  • At 67 kg it is hard to move alone.
  • The door hinge is on the left, which may not suit every kitchen layout.
  • At 55 cm deep, it needs more floor space than a slim model.
  • Its premium tier means a higher cost to buy.

Verdict

The 23 programs are the main draw of the Samsung WW90DG6U25LE/U3, a 9 kg washer for a household that likes choice. It has an inverter motor, Wi-Fi and a 1400 RPM spin, and it can be run from the SmartThings app. An automatic drawer cleaning option is an unusual extra, and a self-cleaning function keeps the drum fresh. A transparent door lets you check the load mid-wash, and dedicated shirt, baby care, wool and gentle cycles handle delicate items. The 60 cm width, 85 cm height and self-standing design suit a standard space. The trade-off is weight, at 67 kg it is hard to move alone, though the 9 kg drum takes big loads. It suits a buyer who wants many programs and app control and who does not mind a heavy machine.
