9000 series vs 8000 series: differ in load capacity
Samsung 9000 series: 11kg load capacity
The Samsung 9000 series washing machines all have SpaceMax. This means that they have an 11kg load capacity. That's enough for large loads of bedding or your black laundry of a whole week. That's because the drum is much deeper, without the washing machine itself being larger than the other models. This allows you to easily place the appliance in a small laundry room as well.
Samsung 8000 series: up to 10kg load capacity
Not all washing machines from the Samsung 8000 series have the same load capacity. There are models with an 8kg load capacity for smaller loads, such as clothes or some towels. That's useful if there are only 2 of you. The more expensive models have a larger capacity of up to 10kg. That's enough for the towels of a whole week.
9000 vs 8000 series: both wash quickly
Both washing machine series have a QuickDrive Q-Drum. This is a rotating plate in the back of the drum that moves in the opposite direction. This ensures that your laundry moves upwards and downwards and from the front to the back. As a result, your laundry is done 2 times faster and you save up to 20% of energy.
9000 vs 8000 series: both have sensors
The more expensive washing machines in both series have the AI Wash technology. These are 5 sensors that measure the softness of the material. The washing machine then determines how much water and detergent to use. During the cycle, these sensors also measure how dirty the water is. The washing machine automatically adjusts the rinsing time, if necessary.
9000 vs 8000 series: both have the same controls
You can control the washing machines of both series via an app on your smartphone or tablet. With AI Control, you can connect the washing machine to your WiFi network. Via the SmartThings app, you can choose the right cycle if you enter what type of laundry is in the drum. The app remembers your settings. That way, you can always wash your favorite silk blouse the same way. You can also see the remaining duration of the cycle, which is useful.
9000 vs 8000 series: both hygienic
Thanks to the EcoBubble technology, you can wash hygienically with the washing machines from both series. The washing machine mixes the detergent with water and pumps in air at a high pressure. This turns the water into foam that soaks into your clothes well. Thanks to the foam, you can also wash at lower temperatures. This ensures that your clothes stay in good condition for longer. The hygienic steam cycle removes bacteria, pollen, and pet hairs. So you'll be less bothered by skin irritation.
9000 vs 8000 series: AutoDose is optional
A washing machine with AutoDose from the 9000 or 8000 series automatically doses the right amount of detergent and fabric softener. You never use too much detergent as a result, and you prevent extra rinse cycles. This saves both water and energy.
Conclusion
If you want to wash large loads energy-efficiently, the 9000 series suits you best. Thanks to SpaceMax, these washing machines have space in the drum for 11kg of laundry. This allows you to wash all your bedding in one go. Thanks to QuickDrive, your laundry is done 2 times faster and you save energy.
