Samsung Washer Dryers

The first figure, 8kg, is the maximum wash capacity and the second, 5kg, is the maximum you can dry in a single cycle. That means you can wash a full family load but you should only dry smaller loads or split a full wash into two drying loads. if you wash bedding or a big mixed load at 8kg, plan to take out half to dry so the dryer isn't overloaded and clothes dry evenly.

Drying needs more air circulation and room for garments to tumble, so washer dryer manufacturers limit drying capacity to avoid poor drying and long cycles. You should remove excess items after the wash if you did an 8kg load and dry no more than 5kg at once. For everyday use, wash medium loads if you prefer to dry them in one go, or use the wash-only mode for larger items you intend to air dry.

EcoBubble mixes detergent with air and water to form a foam that penetrates fibres quickly, so effective cleaning happens at lower temperatures. That lets you run many cycles at cooler settings and still remove dirt, which reduces energy use and is gentler on colours and delicate fabrics. If you often wash shirts or coloured clothes, using EcoBubble at 30°C can keep them looking fresher for longer.

Yes, the Hygiene Steam cycle is designed to reduce bacteria and allergens by using high-temperature steam that penetrates fibres. It's particularly useful for children's clothes, bedding and towels when you want extra hygiene without harsh chemicals. Bear in mind that heavily soiled items may still need a regular wash first for best results.

The Quick Wash & Dry option is a short, combined programme that cleans and dries small loads in about 59 minutes, ideal when you need a few items fast. It's perfect for a couple of work shirts or a small emergency load, but not intended for full 8kg washes because of the dryer's 5kg limit. Use it for time-sensitive items and switch to standard cycles for bigger or heavily soiled loads.
