Samsung Series 8 WW11DB8B95GBU1 review: large loads and adaptive washing
11kg freestanding washing machine · black
Editorial review Reviewed 5 November 2026 How we assess products
Samsung Series 8 WW11DB8B95GBU1 suits larger family loads when cleaning and clear controls justify the price. AI Wash adapts to the laundry and cleans better than ordinary 30°C cotton washing. Eco 40–60, for normally soiled cottons, balances cleaning and consumption; the fast programme also spins suitable lightly soiled loads reasonably well. The text display explains each programme and load limit. Automatic dosing handles detergent and softener, or both reservoirs can hold detergent, with a manual powder option. A wide door and drain hose help handling and maintenance. Stronger steam washing uses more energy and wine can need pretreatment. Touch controls are easy to brush, and the app may add less than expected. Check the full installed depth rather than the 600mm body measurement.
