How to choose a Samsung washing machine

When going for a new automatic machine, you need to decide how much clothes it should wash in one cycle, what program functionality and additional options will be required for high-quality washing, as well as the size of the washing machine, which will definitely fit in the space prepared for it in the apartment.

When choosing a washing machine, it is wrong to consider only the functions and modes. Often, after purchasing a multifunctional modern automatic machine, there is nowhere to place it, and when transporting it to an apartment, it does not fit into the doorways.

Therefore, when communicating with a sales consultant, you must immediately indicate the dimensions of washing machines in order to familiarize yourself with only suitable options and not waste time on bulky models that are unacceptable in a particular situation.

You wash a lot of children's clothes

Kids constantly get dirty - sometimes they spill juice, sometimes they put fruit on their laps, sometimes they drip sauce on their shirt. The intensive soaking mode with bubbles in machines with EcoBubble technology will successfully deal with such stains, and you won’t even have to change your usual washing powder or gel. Bubble washing machines generate gentle foam that penetrates fabric fibers 40 times more efficiently than just water. This way, even extremely dirty things can be washed without aggressive chemicals, even in cold water.

Ecobubble technology is available even in inexpensive models, for example, Samsung WW65J42E0JWDLP. We have collected the machines that are best suited for washing children's clothes in the Children's things section.

Features of Samsung washing machines

The latest Samsung washing machines feature the Eco Bubble system. The built-in generator produces air bubbles. The detergent dissolves well and turns into foam. The dispersed mass, saturated with oxygen, penetrates into the deep layers of tissue, completely ridding the laundry of contaminants.

Digital inverter technology ensures uninterrupted and reliable operation of the motor through powerful magnets. By eliminating friction, silent operation of the unit is achieved.

The intensive soaking function helps to cope with the most stubborn stains.

Samsung's unprecedented promotion is a 10-year warranty on motors in cars with the Eco Bubble system.

There are allergy sufferers in the family

People with allergies are more sensitive than others to dust, pollen, animal dander, as well as mold spores and bacteria. All this can remain on clothes even after washing. That's why Samsung developed hygienic steam treatment. Jets of steam are delivered to the bottom of the drum, neutralizing allergens and removing 99.9% of bacteria. Steam also improves wetting of fabric fibers so that dirt is removed more effectively.

Samsung washing machines for allergy sufferers are collected in the “Hygienic steam treatment” section.

You have sensitive skin

If your skin sometimes gets irritated from your usual clothes and even baby powder causes itching and discomfort, washing machines with Super Rinse+ technology will help you. They use more rinse water and spin the drum harder to rinse all the powder out of the clothes. After such washing, things will not irritate the skin and will smell clean and not chemically scented. This works for thick jeans, bed linen, and your favorite soft pajamas.

Look for machines with Super Rinse+ technology in the Super Rinse+ section.

Do you often forget to put all your things in the car?

We just started the wash and immediately found another T-shirt or sock that also needs to be put into the drum. Common situation? You will have to wait until the next wash - perhaps several days. But AddWash series machines will solve this problem. They have an additional window in the main door through which you can add forgotten items to the drum. AddWash is also useful if certain items only need to be rinsed and squeezed - put them in the drum later than the rest.

The AddWash function is available not only in top models, but also in affordable ones: Samsung WW65K42E08WDLP.

Are you upset that things quickly lose their appearance after washing?

Washing machine drums were originally designed to wash away dirt as efficiently as possible. But this led to severe wear and tear on the fabric - things quickly tore, stretched, and became covered in pellets. Samsung engineers have developed a special Diamond Drum for gentle washing of clothes. In it, the holes are located in the center of rectangular pyramidal depressions, which resemble diamond crystals. Through such holes, the fabric does not penetrate deeper into the drum and is not damaged. As a result, things retain their perfect appearance for a long time and last for years.

The Diamond Drum can be found even in inexpensive models. Take a look at the Samsung WF8590NLM9DYLP.

Small washing machines

Small-sized models are a separate category and stand out from the general range with their size. A striking example is Candy Aqua 2D1040-07. Its dimensions are 51x46x70 cm. It is significantly lower and narrower than the standard options. The disadvantages of the small size model are the following:

The small size of the drum does not allow washing large items. The load of such a washing machine will not exceed 4.5 kg.
High price.
A small range of models limits the choice of buyers.
The dimensions of the drum do not allow you to wash and rinse things as efficiently as in standard models with similar characteristics.
The inability to install a massive counterweight leads to a decrease in stability.

Small-sized units are also called “under-the-sink” machines. They look like small bedside tables and were purchased for Khrushchev and Brezhnev apartments with shared bathrooms.

On the site you can also find out about the most popular models of drying cabinets for the home.

You don't want to spend a lot of time doing laundry

Sometimes dirty clothes accumulate because you just don't want to run the wash before bed and leave wet clothes in the drum all night. With a QuickDrive machine, where the drum rotates independently of the backplate, you'll spend up to 50% less time doing laundry. By the way, energy consumption is reduced by 20%. The washing process is also accelerated by Speed Spray technology for quick wetting of clothes, and the Swirl+ Pattern drum pattern for better washing. As a result, a standard cycle in such a machine takes 49 minutes. Ideal if you want to throw things in the laundry in the evening and have time to hang them before you go to bed, or in the morning - between waking up and leaving for work.

All three capabilities are combined in the Samsung WW10M86KNOA-LP model.

Dimensions of built-in washing machines

With the growing prosperity of the population, there is a trend towards the acquisition of built-in equipment. Washing machines and other household appliances are installed inside kitchen cabinets and covered with decorative panels, becoming one with the furniture.

The dimensions of built-in washing machines are slightly different from the dimensions of solo models. Narrow units for built-in installations are not produced. The standard depth of the headset is 60 cm, so there is no point in installing a machine at 35 cm. Its stability will be worse, the load will be less, and there will still be another 20–30 cm of unrealized free space behind the rear panel.

It is also quite problematic to install a full-size model with a depth of 60 cm into the set, since hoses must be placed behind the rear panel, and the facade will be attached to the front panel. Typically, a built-in washing machine is 50–55 cm deep.

An example is MAUNFELD MBWM.1485W, which has dimensions of 60x55x82

MAUNFELD MBWM.1485W 1

Some free-standing models can also be built into the headset. Just unscrew the top cover. The machine will become lower by a couple of centimeters - this is enough for it to fit under the countertop. Of course, you can’t hang the facade on it; the hatch and control panel will remain visible.

Please note that not all solo machines can be installed this way. For example, in the Hotpoint-Ariston AQ105D 49D B model, the hatch is flush with the side walls and even if you remove the cover from above, it will protrude. The overall height of the unit will not decrease.

It is important for you that the car is super quiet

Often you need to start the wash at night or when you put your baby to bed for a nap. But shocks, vibrations and spinning sounds will definitely not let you get enough sleep. And sometimes the car even “runs away” from its usual place. To reduce noise and vibration during the washing process, Samsung developed VRT-M technology, which uses a vibration sensor, balancing balls and magnets. It is comfortable to be around such machines even during spinning at high speeds.

Take a look at the Samsung WW80R62LVFXDLP with a washing noise level of 57dB - it's quieter than many hoods.

You often have to wash a lot of things

Large families and owners of bulky items need a model that can fit 7–12 kg of dry laundry. Such machines are presented in many series, for example, in the AddWash line with an additional window for things and other useful functions. In general, Samsung produces machines with a load of up to 21 kg - for really large families or for business.

We have collected the most spacious cars in the section “9–12 kg.

Semi-automatic washing machines

For some, it will be a real revelation that such cars are still in demand. However, this is true. They are purchased for dachas, private homes, and places where there is no centralized water supply. The dimensions of such units do not fit into any standard dimensions.

They can be quite spacious, like the RENOVA WS-50PT model with a 5 kg load. There may also be small sizes, for example, WILLMARK WM-20A, which includes only 2 kg of linen with dimensions of 32x32x45 cm.

You can read about the water consumption and amps of a washing machine here.

There is almost no room in your apartment for new equipment.

Choose a narrow model with a depth of 45 cm. It will fit in both a small kitchen and a bathroom. Sometimes narrow machines are even installed on balconies combined with studio kitchens. And for smart apartments this is almost the only solution.

Look for the most compact washing machines in the “Narrow” section.

What should you consider when placing?

The dimensions of automatic machines include: height, width and depth. If the first automatic machines had standard dimensions 85x60x60, now the household appliances market is filled with different models - from standard to the narrowest.

To allow the unit to be built under the sink, placed on stands, while saving maximum space, there are compact models, all of whose dimensions are significantly smaller than standard ones.

The amount of laundry that can be washed in one operating cycle of the machine depends on the width, height and depth of the washing machine.

To minimize space, top-loading machines are increasingly being used. The unit is narrow in width, only 40 cm wide, with laundry loaded through a window on the top panel, making this machine universal in terms of placement.

Indicator No. 1 – height of equipment

Almost all units with vertical and front loading have a height of 85 cm. Due to adjustable screw legs, these models, if necessary, can reach values of 90 cm. And if rubber stands are used to stabilize vibration, the unit becomes even higher.

Some compact models for installation under the sink have a maximum height of 70 cm. This is necessary so that a special bowl-sink with an edge drain can be mounted on top, and this design is flush with the rest of the furniture in the bathroom.

The height of built-in machine models varies between 81-85 cm. Using adjustable legs, it is necessary to ensure that the gap between the top of the machine and the table top is 2-4 cm

Household front-loading models with a height of 85-90 cm should be installed with a reserve of space above them, since the loading hatch lid opens upward.

The standard dimensions of the vertical cover are 40-45 cm, so for ease of loading and unloading laundry, you need to leave 45 cm above it.

If the height of 130-140 cm is not too significant for the user of an automatic machine, then above it and the spare space you can install a shelf for washing powder and other household products.

Indicator No. 2 – vehicle width

Most often, machines with a front window are 60 cm wide. There are also narrower models, 55-59 cm wide. This is important if the room where the unit will be located is very small, and every centimeter is taken into account.

Built-in models practically do not differ in width, since for proper placement, the gap between the walls of the machine and the walls of the countertop should be 2-4 cm.

Vertical machines have the option of reloading laundry. This innovation appeared with the advent of AddWash series units with an additional loading window

If there is too narrow a corner for the washing machine in the bathroom, hallway or kitchen, or it should be placed between furniture and plumbing fixtures, then it is better to purchase a model with vertical filling, since the width of these devices does not exceed 45 cm.

Indicator No. 3 – depth of washing machines

The depth of the machine is an important indicator, since if you live in an apartment with a shared or small bathroom, there will be nowhere to place full-size equipment and you will have to buy a narrower model.

Standard models with a width of 60 cm can be placed in a boiler room, a specially designated room in a private house, or in a bathroom, if its area allows the installation of such a unit, and it is necessary due to the significant capacity of things.

More often, for combined bathrooms, narrowed or narrow models are purchased, since when installed behind the machine, communications and sockets are located, which takes up additional space and a full-size unit may simply be inappropriate.

When choosing a location for a front-loading washing machine, it is necessary to take into account the availability of free space in front of the unit so that you can open the hatch for loading and removing laundry. When placing the machine in the corridor, you must remember the need for water supply and sewerage, which will take 10-15 cm of additional space behind the machine. Therefore, the unit must be significantly narrower than the space allocated for it in the room.

If the area of the bathtub does not allow you to place both the machine and the sink, they can be combined. To do this, you need to consider compact models that are built under a narrow sink with an edge drain.

The depth of built-in kitchen models varies between 54-60 cm, so you can find a unit for any kitchen configuration and install it, leaving a standard 2-4 cm gap.

Do you want a small and inexpensive car?

Models with push-button control and loading capacity up to 7 kg are your choice. They will successfully cope with daily washing without wasting a lot of water and electricity. And they can handle a couple’s weekly load (clothes, bed linen) in one go.

The price of such machines is lower than that of models with electronic control and support for smart home technologies. See section “Less than 7 kg”.

Top best Samsung models

You don't like that clothes on the balcony take too long to dry

In addition, on the open balcony things collect all the street dirt. Here it is worth buying a combined machine: washing plus drying in one housing. It takes up less space than two separate units and costs less. The drying cycle starts automatically after washing, and dry items can be immediately put away in the closet.

The best combination machines on the market are in the Drying section.

You don't trust repairmen

A master is like a doctor. He will look, listen, and then write a decent bill. It’s difficult to figure out what’s in this bill. But it can be even worse: when the car breaks down, a lot of dirty things have accumulated, but the repairman still doesn’t show up. Smart Check (Home Maintenance) will automatically diagnose your washing machine if anything goes wrong. She will find the problem and offer solutions. For example, you can clean the filter yourself, and if a more complex problem arises, in the application you can call a specialist from the nearest authorized service. Smart Check will give him information about the breakdown so that the employee can immediately take with him the necessary parts and tools for repair. This approach will save you both time and money.

The Smart Check function is supported by almost all models - even Samsung WW70J52E02WDLP.

You don't want to waste time caring for your car

New Samsung machines have an Eco Drum Clean mode to automatically clean the drum and rubber rim from dirt, bacteria and odors. The machine will even remind you to clean if you haven't done so in a while. The second useful feature is StayClean Drawer. The special design of the powder compartment allows water to completely wash it into the drum to keep the surface clean.

The Samsung WW80R42LHESDLP model has both capabilities.

Are you afraid that the car will quickly break down?

Modern models of Samsung washing machines use reliable inverter motors. The manufacturer provides them with a 10-year warranty - this already says a lot. In addition, motors of this type are quieter and more economical than traditional ones with brushes and a belt drive. You can find many sad stories online about how equipment broke down due to power surges. To prevent this from happening to your new washing machine, pay attention to models with the Volt Control function - built-in protection against voltage surges.

If you're worried about your car leaking while you're away or sleeping, Samsung has a solution for that too.

An inverter motor and built-in protection against leaks and voltage surges are found, for example, in the Samsung WW80R42LXFSDLP model.

Load Type

According to the method of loading laundry, all washing machines are divided into 2 types:

Front loading. In these models, a transparent loading hatch is located on the front panel.
Top loading. In such washing machines, the laundry is loaded from above, through the drum hatch.

Front-loading models, in turn, can be:

Narrow.
Standard.
Full size.

Let's take a closer look at the dimensions of each type of washing machine.

Do you want to control your washing from your smartphone?

Samsung smart washing machines connect to your home Wi-Fi network and can be controlled from your smartphone. In the application, you can schedule washes and monitor the process, wherever you are. If something happens during the washing process, the machine will send a message to your smartphone. Finally, a smart machine will help you choose the appropriate mode for washing a wide variety of items.

Samsung WW10N64PRBX/LP is just like that.

Washing machine width

The standard width of a washing machine is 60 cm, regardless of its depth. It is the same for both narrow and full-size models. The only exceptions are semi-automatic, compact and vertical machines.

There can be many examples of equipment of this width, both among budget manufacturers and among premium companies, for example, Bosch WLK 20266
