Is the Samsung Series 5 DV90CGC0A0AB worth it?
Yes — owners are very happy with it.
A 9 kg heat pump in black or white, with sensor drying, a drum light and the SmartThings app. Almost every verified owner we read gives it 4 or 5 stars, for being quiet, cheap to run and quicker than they expected. No independent lab has tested it yet, so this verdict rests on owners and Samsung's specs.

How we reached this verdict
No independent review has tested it yet. Samsung's spec sheet gives a 9 kg heat pump with sensor drying, and of the verified Currys owners we read, only a handful rate it 3 stars or less; they praise how quiet and economical it is.
We compared independent expert reviews with the manufacturer's specifications, then checked it's sold at a major retailer where you live. We don't test products ourselves.
