Is the Samsung Series 5 AI Energy WW90CGC04DAEEU worth it?

Yes, if you want a quiet 9 kg machine at a mid price.

It's a 9 kg, 1400-spin machine with an A energy rating, a spin quiet enough for noise class A, Hygiene Steam, a 15-minute quick wash and Wi-Fi control through SmartThings. Owners mostly praise how quiet it is and how easy it is to use. The complaints come back to the same few things: most full programmes are long, there's no spin-only programme, and small items like socks can get caught in the door seal. No independent test we can read has been published, so this verdict rests on Samsung's specs and verified owner reviews.

What owners say

Owners love how quiet and easy to use it is. The complaints are long programmes, no spin-only option and socks caught in the door seal.

Good to know

  • Some owners find the full programmes long, with little between the 15-minute quick wash and the longer cycles.
  • There's no spin-only programme; the nearest is Rinse + Spin.
  • Small items like socks can get caught in the door seal; a wash bag helps.
  • A few owners of older Samsungs find this one feels lighter-built and louder on the spin.

How we reached this verdict

No independent test we can read has been published: Which? has tested it, but its verdict sits behind a paywall. The specs come from Samsung UK: 9 kg, 1400 rpm, A energy class at 44 kWh per 100 cycles, spin noise class A at 72 dB, 55 cm deep, an Eco 40-60 cycle of 3 h 48 min, Hygiene Steam and SmartThings Wi-Fi. The Currys pool (Currys, AO and other shops, white and black) has over 2,500 verified owner reviews, and only about 2 in 100 rate it 3 stars or less. Owners most often praise how quiet it is and how easy it is to use; the unhappy ones mention long programmes, no spin-only option, socks caught in the door seal and a lighter build than older Samsungs.

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.
