Is the Samsung Series 5 AI Energy WW80CGC04DAEEU worth it?
Yes, for one to three people.
It's the same machine as the 9 kg WW90CGC04DAEEU with a kilo less in the drum: 1400 spin, A energy rating, a quiet spin, Hygiene Steam, a 15-minute quick wash and SmartThings Wi-Fi, in the same 55 cm deep body. Its Eco 40-60 cycle is ten minutes shorter, but it uses a little more energy per cycle than the 9 kg. Owners praise how quiet and easy to use it is and the app; the few complaints are small items caught under the door rim and controls that take getting used to. No independent test we can read has been published, so this verdict rests on Samsung's specs and verified owner reviews.
