Samsung washing machine weight

When choosing a new washing machine, buyers typically focus only on the most important characteristics: load capacity, number of programs, price, and energy efficiency. Few people bother to consider the machine's weight, which is a mistake. The weight and size of a Samsung washing machine largely determine its resistance to imbalance and vibration.

Let's find out the average weight of Samsung washing machines. We'll explain the advantages of heavy-duty machines over lighter ones. We'll also tell you where to find information on the machine's weight.

Where can I get information about the weight of equipment?

It's very easy to find out how much a specific Samsung model weighs. Information about the weight of the washing machine is provided in the technical data sheet or instructions for the equipment. Things are a bit more complicated if the vending machine is purchased secondhand and there are no documents for it. But even then, you won't need a scale; all the information can be found online.

Simply enter your Samsung washing machine model in the search bar. Almost all manufacturers post electronic copies of their manuals online. If your washing machine is very old, finding the documentation may be difficult, but it's worth a try.

You can find instructions for almost any Samsung washing machine on the Internet.

Buying new washing machines is much simpler. Major retailers' websites provide descriptions of each model. In addition to basic specifications such as capacity, dimensions, features, energy efficiency class, and so on, you can also see the weight of the equipment.

Why are heavy washing machines better than light ones?

Many buyers, seeking compactness, opt for lightweight models. They want to minimize the hassle of transporting and handling the appliance. However, if you compare two machines with identical functionality, differing only by five kilograms in weight, the heavier one will win.

The heavier the washing machine, the better it copes with imbalances and dampens vibrations.

During the wash cycle, the drum of an automatic washing machine generates centrifugal force. The higher the motor speed, the greater the load on the washing machine's body, resulting in greater vibration. Lightweight appliances are unstable and begin to "jump" during the spin cycle. Heavier appliances are less susceptible to this "wobbling."

Heavy-duty washing machines compared to light-duty models:

• work quieter;
• more stable;
• almost not subject to vibrations;
• more capacious.

Therefore, there's no need to pursue lightweight washing machines simply because they're easier to transport, move, and carry. Transporting the machine won't be necessary as often, but the constant wobbling of a lightweight, unstable machine will be noticeable during every wash cycle. The heavier the machine, the less prone it is to vibration.

It's crucial to consider the weight of a Samsung washing machine when choosing a built-in appliance. Consider the maximum weight your furniture can support. In this case, purchasing a lightweight washing machine will make sense.

Many buyers are surprised by why narrow machines weigh more than full-size units. It's simple: they have a smaller support surface, so manufacturers go to great lengths to make them heavier to prevent imbalance. Compact models typically feature larger counterweights.

How heavy are Samsung washing machines?

The range of washing machines from the Korean manufacturer is quite wide. On average, the weight of automatic Samsung machines is 55-65 kg. The lineup includes units weighing 70-79 kg. The range is very wide, so it's best to focus on a specific washing machine.

Let's take a look at the weight of this brand's appliances. We'll tell you how much some Samsung washing machines weigh and what their dimensions are.

• Samsung WW80R42LHES. This modern washing machine holds 8 kg of laundry. EcoBubble technology effectively removes dirt while preserving the original quality of fabrics. The steam function helps kill 99% of bacteria and allergens on clothes. With standard dimensions of 60 x 45 x 85 cm, this model weighs 55 kg.
• The Samsung WW90T554CAX/LP is a spacious model with a 9 kg dry load capacity. This front-loading washer is permanently installed and features a display and inverter motor. The EcoBubble generator ensures perfect washing results, even in cold water. A distinctive feature of this washing machine is the intelligent AI Control system. The machine weighs 67 kg. The height and width of the machine are standard, 85 and 60 cm, respectively, and the depth is 55 cm.
• The Samsung WW90T4041EE is capable of providing truly deep cleaning using steam. It features a reliable inverter motor and a 9 kg drum. The height, depth, and width of the machine are 85, 55, and 60 centimeters, respectively. It weighs 62.7 kg, making it lighter than its predecessor of similar dimensions.
• Samsung WW10T634CLH. This front-loading machine features a very large drum with a 10.5 kg capacity. It's one of the brand's heaviest models, weighing in at 76 kg. The washing machine measures 85 cm high, 60 cm wide, and 57 cm deep. It boasts maximum energy efficiency and a steam option.
• Samsung WW70R62LATX. This narrow washing machine features a reload option. The drum holds 7 kg of laundry. It features an inverter motor, a steam generator, and a display. It weighs 55 kg and measures 85 cm in height, 45 cm in depth, and 60 cm in width.

Therefore, the weight of washing machines, even with the same dimensions, can vary. It's best to choose a heavier model if purchasing a freestanding machine. With built-in machines, be careful—it's important to consider whether the furniture can withstand the load the machine generates.
