AI Dry
Samsung 9000 series: with AI Dry
The Samsung 9000 series dryers have the AI Dry cycle. With this cycle, the dryer measures the moisture level of the laundry with various sensors, and it adjusts the duration of the cycle. While it dries, the appliance automatically adjusts the functionality of the compressor, so your clothes get exactly the right amount of air and heat. This way, your laundry dries faster, and you save energy. In addition, you protect your clothes from wear.
Samsung 8000 series: OptimalDry
The 8000 series doesn't have AI Dry, but it does have the OptimalDry technology. The difference is that OptimalDry doesn't affect the compressor and it doesn't measure during the cycle. The sensors only measure the amount of laundry and moisture level at the start of the dryer cycle. Next, the dryer sets the duration of the cycle, so your laundry never dries for too long.
Silent Dry
Both the Samsung 9000 and the 8000 series have the Silent Dry cycle. This way, you can dry your laundry extra silently. Use the cycle when you're in on online meeting at home, of when your children are in bed, for example. The appliance has a noise-reduction system, so you'll hear less distracting noise.
Super Speed
The dryer series both have Super Speed. This way, you can dry your favorite outfit very fast. A 3kg load dries in only 81 minutes. Do you also have a Samsung QuickDrive washing machine? You can wash and dry 3kg laundry within 2 hours.
AI Control
Thanks to AI Control, you can control the 9000 and 8000 series dryers with your phone. This way, you can easily choose a cycle remotely and know how long the cycle still has to go. This way, you don't have to go to the attic all the time to check the laundry.
AirWash and Hygiene Care
Lastly, the 9000 and 8000 series both have the AirWash and Hygiene Care cycle. With AirWash, you can quickly freshen up your worn clothes without washing. This can be a T-shirt you wore for 1 day. The hot air blows the bad old odors out of your clothes, like perfume. Do you want to dry your laundry really hygienically, so you won't suffer from your allergies as much? Choose the Hygiene Care cycle.
Conclusion
The 9000 and 8000 series are almost the same in terms of functions and cycles. The biggest difference is the AI Dry cycle of the 9000 series. This way, the dryer adjusts the drying technology to your laundry during the whole duration of the dryer cycle. You can dry faster and more energy-efficiently this way, and the cycle is adjusted to your laundry.
