Samsung Series 5 WD80TA046BX/EU with ecobubble™ Freestanding Washer Dryer, 8/5 kg 1400 rpm, Graphite, E Rated, Decibel rating: 54, EU Acoustic Class: A

We bought this washer dryer to replace our old Candy Hoover that died - it made sense to buy it here. Even with the full fitting service and removal of the old washer included, it was still £100 cheaper than other retailers selling the same model (Fitting service was brilliant too). I’ve been dying to have a Samsung one for years as they always seemed so good! 100% lived up to expectations. I love the design, UI and the darkened drum cover. It has an 8kg drum, so it washes big items like double duvets and sofa blankets well. Items come out lovely and fresh after each wash, as it uses Samsung EcoBubble (from what I understand it activates the detergent before it hits the drum with water and air pressure to make it foam to clean clothes better). There are so many cycles to choose from, but my fav go to is the eco-wash, by default it’s 15 degrees temp for 15 mins, but I vary per washing case and also choose 20 or 30 degree for the temp making it go up to a 23 minute cycle (nice and quick still). I can then either choose to rinse and dry it or dry it solely if desired. Never had a dryer before and it has been nothing short of amazing to have - benefitted so much already, being able to wash and dry our dog or guinea pigs items in a day is massive plus for us as those items like blankets and liners can take days to air dry - even with a heated clothes horse it still took ages. For the dryer so far I’ve been choosing the little T-shirt with timer icon and the selecting either 30 mins or an hour and it’s been drying it wonderfully! It comes out all soft and warm! The interface is explained well in the manual it came with - 5 columns; temp, wash level, spin level,drying choices and bubble soak. The dial has a nice little light feature too, to help show which cycle is currently selected. It even lists the cycles it needs to go through so you can see where the washer/dryer is up to. Worth noting too this sits at 52 decibels - it’s actually so so much quieter than our previous washer at 72 decibels. It plays a cute little tone when it comes on, or to let you know it’s finished, but this can be muted if you’d prefer. The components feel solid to interact with, the detergent drawer glides smoothly and you can feel the connect upon open and close. Buttons are tactile and the dial feels responsive. The door has a good weight to it where it sits open comfortably with a firm hinge and provides a satisfying clunk when it is opened and closed. Another big tick for us was that it came with the 5 year parts and labour warranty, which you have 90 days I believe it is to register for. For the price point and the fact it’s a washer dryer is nothing short of fantastic. Could not be happier with it!

I bought the Samsung Series 5 Washer Dryer and I am really happy with it. The design in graphite looks very modern and stylish in my kitchen. The 8kg wash / 5kg dry capacity is perfect for everyday family laundry. Clothes come out very clean thanks to the Ecobubble technology, even at lower temperatures, and it also helps save energy. Drying function works well for smaller loads, handy when I need things ready quickly. It runs very quiet, with only 54 decibels during washing, which is a big plus compared to my old machine. The spin speed at 1400 rpm gets clothes almost dry before I even use the drying cycle. The control panel is simple to use, with clear programs for cottons, mixed load, quick wash, and eco cycles. I like that it also has a self-cleaning function for the drum.

We bought this machine a month ago and have been using it almost daily. It washes and dries the clothes very well; the quickest programme (cottons) takes about 5 hours altogether. What I really like is the fact that it has an automatic washing liquid dispenser, so all you need to do is fill the containers every now and then, set the water hardness, and the machine will measure the correct amount for the programme you've selected. I love that this (series 7) machine also washes bedding, which was one of the reasons we chose this model (it can't dry it though). The only downsides of this machine are the slightly electric smell the clothes have after drying, and the fact that small items of cloth (like toddler's socks) tend to get caught inside the door lining at the front, so I now use a wash bag for them. But overall, I am really happy, and this works well for our three-person family.

Great washing machine/dryer. Took me ages to install it, but it's very quiet and very easy to use. There's no guessing; it tells what you have to do when installing. So far looks and works perfect.

I owned this washer dryer for the past 3years and I am disappointed with it. I don’t know If every owner came across the same issues I had with mine or is just the unit I purchased. The rubber seal between the washing machine and body is not thigh enough so most if the times leaks. It also broke twice so we had to changed because it leak. I can not dry small items made out of polyester as it sneaks between the “lovely” rubber seal and ends up in the filter to find out after 6h of washing and drying your load is completely soaked. After 5months of usage something broke inside the washing machine and made a lot of heavy metals dusting in the house. Samsung was pretty helpful and send someone after 3 days and eventually got it fixed( they couldn’t do anything thing and they replaced the whole unit for free). The washing and drying cycles are extremely long, some of them can take up to 7h. You need to press a physical button in order to enable smartphone remote control. If you didn’t press that button and you’re away from home you can not start the washing drying cycles. I has good points to like beautiful design(doesn’t help much when you have so many mechanical issues), pretty good smartphone integration and it was silent when it was new. I would advise to go with a different brand for a while or if you have enough space get a separate dryer.
