Samsung Series 5+ DV90T5240AN/S1 with OptimalDry™, Freestanding Heat Pump Tumble Dryer, 9 kg, Graphite, A+++ Rated, Decibel rating: 63, EU Acoustic Class: B

great dryer.

This dryer was my first heat pump appliance. I have always had vented dryers so this is my comparisons and experience after a months use. First it's well packed and protected. It's very heavy in comparison (vented), drying times are about 5 mins past a vented dryer and sometimes faster. Noise is about the same. On first use we tried it with the internal water tank, with a well spun load of 4 bath towels it filled the water tank/draw about a third, it's easy enough to empty just pull the draw out completely and poor down the sink. The draw is about 10cm deep and runs from the front of the machine to the rear. If you have any strength/mobility issues consider plumbing it in. Plumbing it in is easy enough, you just pull out the pipe at the rear and either lay it over the sinks side or plumb into the sink drain. To date this is using about a third of the electricity of the vented one which is superb. The wifi I thought would be a gimmick but it's has a certain functionality, text when finished, program selection etc. It's simple to connect to and if it helps as follows. Download the Samsung smart things app, turn on dryers wifi, find dryer WiFi on your phones router selection and connect (password in manual), using the app connect your dryer to your router, all done. My only negative is the door reversal, there is no instructions in the manual for this, you can find on samsungs site after a bit of digging and there are you tube videos showing how. I would definately buy another.

Fantastic. The ease of emptying out the water has been the main thing! Second was the connectivity to our Series 5 washing machine, it automatically receives a suggested drying mode based off the load and method that was use on the washer. Not noisy at all, easy to use. Super happy with the purchase! Ours was not damaged on delivery, I know some received dinged machines.

This Samsung Series 5+ tumble dryer is absolutely terrible at doing the one job it is supposed to do: drying clothes. Despite trying all the different settings, the clothes still come out damp. I often have to run the dryer two or even three times just to get them properly dry, which is ridiculous for a brand-new machine. To make matters worse, the clothes are left smelling damp. I expected much better from Samsung, and I am extremely disappointed with this product. A dryer should dry clothes properly in one cycle, not waste time and electricity by having to run repeatedly. For a new machine, this performance is simply unacceptable.

Amazing tumble dryer, really quiet and dries really quickly, the auto sensor is very good. The water bottle is located at the top of the dryer and is easy to empty and the double filter catches most of the lint without it going to the heat exchanger. It tells you every month when to clean the exchanger and that's really easy. Much easier than a condenser tumble dryer. The down side is the cost, but the savings made in electricity will eventually pay for the purchase.

Excellent machine.

Had this dryer for a week or so. I haven't had time to try the majority of settings but it's drying my laundry, takes a little longer but costing a lot less. It has a built (via the app) energy monitoring which shows how much energy is used and keeps a track for daily/weekly/monthly usage. You can set the price you pay per kWh to get an accurate reading. The downside of the app, so far, is that whilst the drying cycle can be set using the app, their is no option to start the cycle via the app. It can only be started by going to the machine and pressing the start/pause button. Same with turning the dryer off. I may find a setting for turning the dryer on/off later and I will update accordingly. So far, the dryer is a good purchase. A bit expensive but it comes with 5 years parts AND labour warranty - once registered on Samsung website.

I am male, 76 years of age and lost my wife of over 52 years to oesophageal cancer in2019. There is a very old tumble dryer in my garage, it has never been used for 35 years and would probably be a danger, if used. The weather in Scotland has been absolute diabolical this winter and drying washing on the line has been impossible, and despite having clothes horses and dehumidifiers in the house I decided to take the plunge and purchase this tumble dryer. Wow, it has surpassed my expectations, I have solar panels and storage batteries and the dryer has cost me nothing to run, I am just amazed. There is a sturdy clip on shelf supplied which can be inserted in the dryer which I can place trainers etc on, saving them from tumbling around inside again, brilliant. Can't get any better!!!
