Samsung has mastered the art of making home appliances simple and tidy. Instead of the front control panel full of buttons, there is a simple LCD display, a control dial and only two buttons at the bottom of the screen.
Turn on Samsung WW90T684DLH for the first time, it turns on through its initial setup, cylinder calibration and setting the default language. After that, the device turns on through the quick start guide to show what all the controls are doing. It's a great way to present the device and means the directory isn't really necessary.
All washing programs can be selected by rotating the dial on the side, scrolling through the options on the LCD. Precisely, each wash cycle is described in English (or the language you have chosen) and also includes the maximum washing weight. This is really helpful, because the other washing machines I've reviewed require me to read the manual to know their maximum weights.
Once you select an option, the LCD displays the estimated washing time, although it will be adjusted once the cycle starts based on the amount of laundry loaded into the washing machine.
There are override options as well. The exact options depend on washing, but there are options to change the spin speed and use more advanced options, including the Bubble Soak, which soaks items before washing them to improve stain removal.
This device has Samsung's automatic dosing technology, in which liquid detergent and the case of the fabric are taken in the two large cabinets in the retractable tray. It is possible to override the settings and use washing powder instead, although if you mainly use powder, a manual dosing machine will make more sense.
Samsung's automatic dosing WW90T684DLH depends on the weight of the laundry used. It is possible to select an option to add more detergents for more stained elements, but you cannot determine the amount of liquid to be distributed based on the manufacturer's recommended dosage. In practice, this did not affect the results of washing performance.
This is a smart washing machine, so it connects to your network and can be controlled via the SmartThings app. From the application, the device can be adjusted, although to start a cycle, the remote control option must be turned on manually every time the washing machine is turned on. This is the same with all washing machines and is a safety feature, so that the washing machine cannot be operated remotely when there is a child or pet inside the drum.
In addition to duplicating the controls on the front of the washing machine, the app can also notify you when the washing machine cycle ends.
A wide range of courses are available, including special offers for wool, baby care, sportswear and a healthy steam option that uses steam to freshen clothes. The latter is great for anything with odors, such as clothes with a musty smell that have been in the closet for a long time.
The more you use Samsung's WW90T684DLH screen, the more you know how to use it, suggesting cycles automatically based on usage patterns. This definitely makes life easier and involves less scrolling through the washing options.
There is a large door, so loading the machine - even with its maximum capacity - is easy. I want to have a light in the pot, as you get with AEG L9FEB969C.
As with most Samsung washing machines, this washing machine has an AddWash feature via the pop-up door on the front. At any time during the wash cycle, you can open the door and add any additional items. In those times when you dropped something on the way to the washing machine, AddWash is a lifesaver.

Decent operating costs
Excellent stain removal, especially at low temperatures
Very quiet
I have tested Samsung WW90T684DLH through my regular tests. I started with a 5 kg load for washing in the Eco 40-60 cycle. According to my measurements, the cost of running this cycle is 36 pence, which makes it one of the cheapest washing machines to run. In this laundry, the B-rated spin cycle removed most of the water from my clothes, leaving behind 32.4%. This is a good result.
The performance is also excellent. I put my stain bar in the device, and I took pictures of the fabric before and after. From left to right, the stains are red wine, oil, ketchup, orange juice and broth. There is little red wine and broth, but other stains have been removed; note that there are few ketchup stains that can be scraped off or removed in a second wash.
Moving on to washing cotton at a temperature of 30 ° C, I was pleased to see the cost of the course only 35 pence. Here, 39.6% of the water was retained, which is good (less than 40%) but not the best I've seen from the washing machine.
A lot of washing machines have environmentally friendly washers that are very efficient, but can be more expensive when operated with cotton. Here, there is not much in them. Stain removal was also excellent, with stains largely disappearing.
One of the best ways to save money is to use cold laundry, so I turned on Samsung WW90T684DLH at 20 ° C. Here, operating costs fell to just 29p per session, although water retention jumped to 41.2%.
Stain removal was among the best I've seen in any washing machine. Sure, there's some visible red wine, ketchup and meat sauce behind it, but that's to be expected at low temperatures. What this shows is that for normally soiled clothes, 20°C is the only temperature you need.
To really benefit from the washing machine, it makes sense to load it to the maximum every time it is used. The WW90T684DLH monitor runs at full loads, costs 49p per cycle. Assuming 1370 kg of laundry is done in United Kingdom per year, this washing machine will need 274 full loads per year, resulting in an operating cost of £75.16. These are not the least costs I've seen, but they are still very competitive.
