Samsung ecobubble™ WD80J5A10AW 8Kg / 5Kg Washer Dryer - White

Great product

"Really happy with the machine so far- washes the clothes very well, is very quiet, looks nice and the dryer works well. The only quibble I have and the reason I have given it 4 stars rather than 5 is that when we use the cotton dry mode the clothes come out smelling like burnt rubber. From browsing online this seems to be a problem people get with washer dryers because they don’t have the same ventilation as normal dryers. The smell doesn’t occur with the synthetic dry setting so we will just be using that one from now on."

Has some irritating features

"I bought this to replace a Bosch which had 'died' after only 6 years use (The motherboard stopped working making the machine too expensive to fix). The Samsung in comparison to the Bosch takes a very long time to wash the clothes and is noisy with its burps and gurgles. The black door glass stops you viewing the wash so if something had got into the wash by mistake you won't know it's there until the end of the wash cycle. Believe it or not we had a scare when our cat disappeared and we feared that she had gone into the machine as I loaded it up! As it was a drying cycle I was able to pause the machine but the door would not open until it had cooled down sufficiently and we could not see through the darkened glass. Luckily it was a false alarm, but it could easily have happened. We also find that when a wash or drying cycle is finished we tend to forget that the clothes are in the machine as it turns itself off at the end of the cycle. Obviously this is a useful feature for some people but not for us, we need an indicator light to tell us that there are still clothes in the machine, or even clear see-through glass would do just as well. On the plus side the machine washes as well as the Bosch and the tune is quite sweet (it's The Trout, by Schubert in case you're wondering). It has a lot of useful functions, all of which take a long time to complete so we tend to wash everything on the 'Daily Wash' cycle because it is the shortest cycle after the '15 min Quick Wash' which is just too short. However when the time comes to replace this machine I think I will be buying a Bosch."

Excellent

"Love my new washer dryer. Easy to choose a program thanks to its clear digital display. I’ve not used the dryer much but my clothes were dry however not as fragrant as after washing. "

Musical

"Nice roomy washer, washes well and convenient to be able to use the dryer on its own. Not too keen on the music it plays when it finishes its cycle, just glad my washer is in a room separate from the house as it would be very annoying."
