Compare the Samsung 6000 to the 5000 washing machine

A Samsung washing machine of the 5000 series doesn't have a SuperSpeed cycle. This means that it doesn't have a wash cycle to wash half a load within 59 minutes. The Samsung washing machine of the 5000 series has a short freshen up cycle that takes 15 minutes. You can use it to freshen up 1 or 2 shirts. This isn't a complete wash cycle. Do you want to be able to wash half a load fast? Choose a Samsung washing machine from the 6000 series.

You can wash half a load within one hour. That's because Samsung washing machines from the 6000 series have the SuperSpeed cycle. This cycle takes 59 minutes with a half-loaded drum. Thans to this, your favorite outfit is clean soon again and you can wash the clothes of your children right away too. The advantage of the SuperSpeed cycle isn't just the fact that you're done faster. You'll also save water and energy, because the cycle is shorter.

Even though they differ in speed, they're similar in terms of hygiene. Samsung washing machines from the 5000 series have EcoBubble. This technique creates a foam by mixing the detergent with water. Thanks to EcoBubble, the detergent reaches your clothes better and you can even wash everything clean at a lower temperature. In addition, the 5000 series has the hygienic steam cycle. This removes bacteria and allergens with steam, which is useful if you suffer from allergies like dust mite or pollen, for example.

Just like the 5000 series, the 6000 series has EcoBubble and a steam cycle. With EcoBubble, your clothes stay nice for longer because you can also wash at a lower temperature. Thanks to this, you don't have to worry your pants or sweater will shrink. You'll also save energy thanks to the low temperature. You can use the hygienic cycle for bedding and towels, for example. But it's also useful for baby clothes, because it allows you to wash them thoroughly.

A technique that both series have is AI Control. This allows you to connect the washing machine to your smartphone or tablet. The Smart Things app by Samsung suggests which wash cycle is suitable for your laundry. That way, you'll barely have to think about this yourself. AI Control indicates the remaining duration of the wash cycle and will remember your favorite cycles. When you have a washing machine and dryer with AI Control, the machines will communicate with each other. The dryer will adjust according to the washing machine

The 6000 series also has AI Control. This works the same way as with the 5000 series. Besides the advice you get with your wash cycles, you'll also receive help with the installation. For example, AI Control will help you with the calibration of your washing machine. This ensures that the washing machine stands firmly in place and you won't be bothered with vibrations or noise. You also get insight in how energy-efficiently you're washing, so you can use the washing machine in an energy-efficient way.

Do you sometimes forget to add items to the drum? Choose a Samsung washing machine with AddWash. This allows you to add pants or a shirt at any time. Even when the drum is already spinning. The 5000 series has models with the AddWash function. Keep in mind that not all washing machines have this function. If you want AddWash, make sure to check if the Samsung washing machine has an extra door.

Just like with the 5000 series, you'll find models with AddWash in the 6000 series. This allows you to add forgotten pants or a shirt to the drum while it's already spinning. As a result, you won't need to start another cycle. Not all Samsung washing machines from the 6000 series have AddWash. This function is optional. Make sure to check if the washing machine has it.

Automatic dosing of your detergent is another function that's optional for the 5000 series. Samsung calls this technique AutoDose. A Samsung washing machine with AutoDose automatically adds the right amount of detergent and fabric softener. Thanks to this, you'll always use exactly the right amount. A great advantage is that your laundry stays nice for longer and less water is required. Make sure to check if the washing machine has AutoDose. Not all washing machines of the 5000 series have this.

The 6000 series by Samsung also has models with AutoDose. The automatic detergent dosing keeps your laundry nice for longer. Make sure to check if the washing machine has this technique, because not all models of the 6000 series have it by default. It's optional. The difference between the 5000 and 6000 series is that the 6000 series has models with both AddWash and AutoDose. This means you can add forgotten laundry and have your detergent dosed automatically.
