Samsung washing machine power

Buyers often choose a washing machine solely based on price, hoping to save a tidy sum on the price of their "home helper." However, this is a big mistake, as the cheaper the appliance, the more likely it is to have a high power consumption. This will significantly increase electricity bills, and instead of saving money, the family will only incur additional expenses. Therefore, the power consumption of a Samsung washing machine is the first thing to consider when buying. Let's take a closer look at the energy consumption of washing machines and choose the most energy-efficient options.

Parameters of the most popular Samsung SM

Depending on the washing machine's power, you can immediately tell which appliances will be energy-efficient and which won't. Therefore, experts always recommend not skimping on such an important purchase, but rather opting for low-energy models. South Korean company Samsung is known for its energy-efficient and eco-friendly appliances that help conserve resources, which is why we've selected the five best machines produced by this brand.

1. The Samsung WW60A4S00EE/LP is one of the best models currently available on the market. Its key advantage is its top energy efficiency rating of A+++, guaranteeing minimal kWh consumption. This is achieved by an innovative inverter motor, which also boasts extremely low noise levels. The device features a durable metal body, ensuring not only a stylish appearance but also reliability. It offers 12 washing programs, a capacity of up to 6 kilograms of laundry, a maximum spin speed of 1000 rpm, and a standard height of 85 centimeters, depth of 45 centimeters, and width of 60 centimeters. Users of Yandex.Market, Russia's largest aggregator, gave the machine a rating of 4.6 out of 5, based on the opinions of 35 people. Currently, the device is available for only $399.90.
2. The Samsung WW70A4S20CX/LP is another model in our selection with an A+++ energy rating, allowing you to save on your laundry bills over the life of the appliance. Unlike the previous model, this one comes in a luxurious black color, making it a striking addition to any interior. Besides its design, the machine is also impressively large – it can wash up to 7 kilograms of laundry at a time. The drying speed is also impressive – 1200 rpm. It features smart washing modes, economical detergent consumption, the ability to remove up to 99.9% of bacteria, and many other useful features for modern homemakers. It measures 85 centimeters high, 45 centimeters deep, and 60 centimeters wide. It received an average rating of 4.1 stars based on 6 reviews. Price: $418.69.
3. Samsung WF60F1R2E2W. This model has a slightly lower energy efficiency rating than the previous two, at "A++," but its kWh consumption is still very low. Besides its energy-efficient performance, this "helper" boasts an excellent spin speed of 1200 rpm and a decent capacity of 6 kilograms of laundry at a time. This model's most notable feature is its Eco Bubble technology, which transforms detergent into bubbles that quickly penetrate fabrics and effectively remove any dirt. The dimensions are the same as previous models, measuring 85 x 45 x 60 centimeters. This machine, with 8 washing modes, received an average rating of 4.6 from 81 users on Yandex. Price: $401.75.
4. Samsung WW65K42E00S. This model fell just short of reaching the top three in our top three today. The reason is simple: its energy consumption is at "A" level, which is still a decent rating, but still inferior to the previous three machines. However, this machine can quickly wash 6.5 kilograms of laundry at once and then spin it at 1200 rpm, something few other machines on the list could achieve. Its 12 wash programs, standard dimensions of 85 x 45 x 60 centimeters, low noise and vibration levels, and electronic controls make it a standard feature for a large family. A rating of 4.7 based on 359 reviews suggests this machine is worth the $465 Samsung is asking for its design.
5. The Samsung WW65J42E0JW rounds out the list with another model with an energy efficiency rating of "A." This elegant, crystal-white machine perfectly washes 6.5 kilograms of laundry at once, then dries it instantly at 1200 rpm. With quiet operation, a powerful motor with a 10-year warranty, a bubble soak function to remove stubborn stains, touch controls, 12 washing modes, and dimensions of 85 x 45 x 60 centimeters, this is another excellent machine, with an average rating of 4.7 on Yandex.Market from 69 satisfied customers. It currently retails for $399.

There are hundreds and thousands of energy-efficient washing machines on the market, so we couldn't and didn't try to cover every single one, but we've listed some of the best options from Samsung. They are all good, but if you choose the best of the best, then you should pay attention to either the environmentally friendly WW60A4S00EE/LP, or the luxurious WW70A4S20CX/LP.

Icons indicating the power of equipment

To find out the energy consumption rating of a washing machine, simply inspect the appliance and look for the corresponding sticker. This rating is typically indicated by a Latin letter, sometimes with a "+" sign. Each rating represents a specific range of kWh consumed, so simply looking at the sticker on the appliance or looking at the label can quickly reveal the energy consumption of each Samsung model. The following energy efficiency classes exist:

• A+++ is the best possible option, since a machine with this rating uses only 0.13 kW per hour per kilogram of cotton laundry;
• A++ – under the same conditions the machine will consume up to 0.15 kW;
• A+ – still economical in energy consumption, but a little worse – up to 0.17 kW per hour;
• A – in this case, consumption is approximately 0.19 kW;
• B – this type of equipment consumes approximately 0.23 kW per hour to process a kilogram of cotton linen;
• C – this equipment consumes approximately 0.27 kW;
• D is the worst class of all, with a consumption of up to 0.31 kW per hour.

You can roughly estimate the cost of each wash by multiplying the kWh consumption by the capacity of the washing machine.

It's important to remember that all the above calculations are approximate, as the scale was created under ideal conditions, which may not exist. Energy consumption is tested at the factory with the drum loaded to its maximum capacity, with cotton garments washed at 60 degrees Celsius. If you wash items made of other materials, decrease or increase the water heating, or select non-standard operating modes, then the kWh consumption may be higher or lower. As for semi-automatic washing machines, there is a separate power scale for them, and the one shown above does not apply to them.
