The washing machine is an essential part of any household, whether it’s washing load after load of children’s clothing, or just for the essentials for someone living on their own. It’s fair to say they get their fair share of use, so it’s understandable that choosing the correct machine can sometimes be tricky. But Samsung have proved that the decision to buy is now easier than ever: introducing the WW80J5555EW, which aims to make hard decision- making a thing of the past. With its large eight kilogram drum load, and fast 1400rpm spin speed, it is more than capable of looking after either a large family or a smaller household with ease. Available in a stylish white with black features, the Samsung WW80J5555EW freestanding washing machine wouldn’t look out of place in any household.
On first sight, what you see isn’t just a stylized front; it’s designed so the font is easy to read, and controls are simple to use. A large, easy to open door provides great access to the large 8 kilogram drum, whilst still looking clean with its black outer rim providing a nice contract to the bright white body.
It has all of the features you would expect on an upmarket machine, such as a timer delay and a half load option. It also has a hand wash option as well as a pre-wash – perfect for those extra dirty or stubborn stains! Another handy feature is a reduced creasing option, for when ironing isn’t an option; this washing machine ensures it’s that little bit gentler as to not overly crease your nice clothes!
It features Ecobubble technology, which is designed to deliver powerful cleaning even at the lower temperatures, so no more shrunk clothing! The technology mixes air, water and detergent to create bubbles, which is easier on the fabric as well as more energy efficient. Lower temperature cleaning also saves you in energy bills, as no energy is wasted heating the water first. You can of course still use a hot wash, as the machine features variable washing temperatures so for those clothes that need to be washed on high, the WW80J5555EW will look after you.
Another handy feature is the StayClean drawer. Rather than having to clean out the residue build-up of detergents gone by, the new StayClean drawer transfers the cleaning fluid more efficiently than before, meaning no more drawer cleaning, as well as a more thorough wash. The residues that are left in the drawer are washed away into the drum, thanks to powerful jets of water.
Because of their extensive use in any household, washing machines are often considered throw away items after only a few years. Being a product with a lot of moving parts, it requires a certain balance to its parts in order to work efficiently. Most washing machines come with a 1 year guarantee to ensure the first year of purchase is looked after by the manufacturer, not so with the WW80J5555EW. Samsung provides a 5 year warranty with their machine, giving you that peace of mind knowing that you are looked after. Samsung also feature a handy trouble shooting tool called SmartCheck. It detects and diagnoses problems at an early stage and provides quick and easy troubleshooting solutions, using an app on your smartphone. This eliminates having to search for the manual, and potentially avoids the cost and inconvenience of calling out an engineer. The app is available on both Android and iOS smartphones.
In the world of washing machines, having to pick just one of them can be a nightmare. Looking for the right features as well as keeping costs low is a minefield few enjoy navigating. However, that minefield is no more, with the Samsung WW80J5555EW. Coming in at an affordable price, complete with 5 year guarantee and all of the features most people are ever likely to need. It is worth mentioning that Samsung also produce a 7 kilogram version of this washer, so if you were looking for one but 8 kilogram is too much, you need to look no further.
