Third-party reviews

What we like about Samsung WW90TA046TE/EC WW5000T

  • Energy class A and 49 kWh per 100 cycles keep bills in check.
  • The motor is covered for 20 years.
  • Steam helps freshen clothes between washes.
  • The spin reaches 1400 RPM, so clothes come out drier.
  • Anti-vibration design keeps the machine steadier during the spin.
  • The 14 programs cover most everyday fabrics.

What we don't like about Samsung WW90TA046TE/EC WW5000T

  • The delay start tops out at 19 h.
  • There is no Wi-Fi, so it cannot be started from a phone.
  • There is no outdoor or sport cycle for muddy gear.
  • There is no foam control system.
  • There is no AquaStop, so there is no built-in protection against hose leaks.

Verdict

Focused on core wash reliability and hygienic garment care, the Samsung WW90TA046TE/EC WW5000T front-loading washing machine accommodates up to 9 kg of laundry with a 1400 RPM spin speed. Driven by a brushless Digital Inverter motor backed by an extensive twenty-year warranty, it reaches Class A energy standards while containing spin noise to a quiet 72 dB. Its Ecobubble technology pre-mixes detergent with air and water to generate cleansing bubbles that penetrate fabric weaves at lower temperatures, saving power without compromising stain removal. A specialized Hygiene Steam cycle attacks embedded bacteria and allergens from the drum base, supported by a self-cleaning StayClean detergent drawer and a Drum Clean maintenance mode. Limitations include the lack of Wi-Fi networking, no automatic detergent dosing, and only one short cycle under sixty minutes.
