This one SAMSUNG ecobubble WW80J5555FX/EU?

Looking to maybe get one come Black Friday.

We want to reduce the water bill (on a water meter). This looks like it uses far less water than most other machines?
Anyone have one and can recommend?

Thanks

  • I've got a similar one, albeit with 'addwash' and 'quickdrive' tech too. 'quickdrive' tech makes it quieter too (62 dB goes down to 49 when washing and 79 to 73 on spin) if that's something you're interested in.

    Water consumption the same between models, energy is a bit more on yours. Mine is 5cm deeper though so probably sticks out more.

    SAMSUNG - QuickDrive + AddWash WW80M645OPW Smart 8 kg 1400 Spin Washing Machine - White

    RRP £699 but Currys had 50 off and Samsung 130 cashback if you jump through hoops which I've dutifully done. £519 I feel is a fair price, 699 a touch rich for me.

    I'd definitely recommend it though, so far no problems. 2 things to note though:

    1. The waste cable wasn't long enough so I was pleased I paid Currys to install it and so go back to his van and get some more cable and attach as required.

    2. It's very heavy at 77 kg versus yours 62 kg, and the fella asked if I had any floor polish to help slide it in. I said no so he just used some hand washing gel, something is better than nothing I suppose. So maybe consider saving your flooring by getting something like floor polish

    Keep an eye on the size of the machines, my parents got a 9kg washer dryer, and it sticks a couple of inches out from under the worktop, it dominates the room. The depth quoted for the machine by Samsung didn't included the (rather obligatory) pipes on the rear of the machine! My own LG 9kg washer dryer is nowhere near as deep and fits well under the worktop.

    Poor spin performance at 53%. Low B rating.

    Check the water consumption on the programme you will use, the label is for the eco washes that many don't bother using as they take too long.

    here is the manual for the 5000 series
    http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201703/20170320180911044/03793A__EN.pdf

    look around pg 57 for the various specs and page 59 for the product fiche info(pg 62 for the 80J55).

    The 80j54 looks a lot better.
    30% more efficient on energy if using the standard cycles.
    Spin rated A 44%

    capacity for the washes is on pg 36


    don't forget to check price history
