Samsung tops customer reviews for quality, price and features - but which machines are the best? Discover the 3 models we rate, whether you're looking to simplify washing for a family of four or just take better care of your most luxurious pieces.
Laundry. It’s the household job that seems so simple, yet so many of us choose to leave our clothes piling up out of fear of the daunting task that lies ahead of us. However, if you’ve got an entire family waiting on fresh shirts, clean knickers, and a uniform not covered in tomato sauce, there’s no escaping it. Luckily, there are definitely a few ways you can make doing the washing a lot less of a chore – starting with a top-of-the-range machine. The endgame of fresh, clean, and uncrumpled clothes starts at stage one so choosing the right washing machine is definitely an investment worth making. We’ve all lost treasured items to a wayward drum or an incorrect setting (hello, boil wash) but these mishaps are few and far between if you find a machine that can do all the hard work for you.
In 2021, the best washing machines are able to near enough think for themselves. Efficient settings can save both time and money, whilst automated features are able to keep your clothes looking good using the power of AI. The new wave of smart washing machines even connect to Wi-Fi to help you organise your washing remotely, and make sure you never run out of detergent. But if you’re looking to splash out on the best washing for your budget, there's a big old market out there packed with appliances all promising to keep your laundry whiter than white, while preventing colours from turning greyer than grey. So which brand is worth its weight in detergent? According to Currys customers, it’s Samsung.
Smashing the opinion polls with near 5* reviews across the board, Samsung are the leader in washing machines that promise the best results for your chosen price. But if you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed by the choice they have to offer, don't be. We’ve selected our top Samsung washers based on price, usability and functionalities – and the guarantee of perfect clothes wash after wash. Samsung do offer decent options under £400, but in our opinion you start to see the most noticeable results from £500 up. However, if you happen to follow the lead of these raving customers and shop via Currys you’re always guaranteed the lowest price on the market either through their own discounts or price matching the rest of the market.
So which Samsung washing machines get our seal of approval? Scroll on and see.
SAMSUNG AddWash WW90T554DAN/S1 WiFi-enabled 9 kg 1400 Spin Washing Machine
CURRYS
£449.99
We’ve all been there – putting on a load and pressing go, only to turn around and find a pesky sock or a wayward top on the floor. Samsung Addwash machines have an exclusive door making it super easy to add garments you may have missed once the wash has started. It’s also a brilliant way to care for your more delicate clothes, adding them to the load later in the cycle for a shorter, more gentle wash that’ll keep them looking fresh for longer. Gamechanging.
SAMSUNG AddWash + Auto Dose WW80T684DLH/S1 WiFi-enabled 8 kg 1400 Spin Washing Machine
CURRYS
£599.99
The Samsung Autodose technology model is the top option for sustainability and will save you money on your bills as a result. It does all the hard work for you and will adjust the cycle time, water levels and amount of detergent to best suit your load whilst the Ecobubble technology mixes air, water, and detergent to wash your clothes better at cool temperatures (a serious money saver). And if you forget a sock, you can also benefit from the AddWash door and add it during a wash cycle so you don’t have to follow with another expensive load. Better for your bank balance, and better for the planet – a real winner.
Samsung QuickDrive WW90T986DSX/S1
CURRYS
£899.99
As you can imagine by the name, the Samsung QuickDrive WW90T986DSX/S1 is a fast wash superstar - it will do a 5kg wash load in just 39 minutes with no compromise on the quality using its patented drum technology. It’s also smarter than your average appliance: AI Optimal Wash mode uses sensors and artificial intelligence to give you the best washing results with minimum effort. Similar to the Autodose, it controls exactly how much detergent to put into your wash, which means it's kinder to the environment and your bank balance. Not to mention you can also control your washing machine remotely with your smartphone via the SmartThings app. It’s an investment, but one worth making – particularly if you’re catering for a larger family.
