The Samsung DV90T6240LB is a 9 kg heat pump tumble dryer in black, rated A+++ for energy and connected by Wi-Fi. It suits a household that dries most of its washing indoors, with sensors that end each cycle once the clothes are dry.

Drying

Heat pump drying reheats the air in the drum instead of venting it, so it is gentle on delicates and uses 194 kWh a year on the standard cotton programme. That programme takes 220 minutes with a full load and 140 minutes with a half load. Condensation efficiency is class B and it runs at 63 dB. OptimalDry uses moisture and temperature sensors to adjust the drying time, protecting clothes and saving energy. The 2-in-1 filter collects fluff before it reaches the heat exchanger, and an alarm reminds you when it needs cleaning.

Programmes and controls

There are 16 programmes: Eco Cotton, Mixed Load, Synthetics, Delicates, Towels, Bedding, Shirts, Wool, Outdoor, Iron Dry and Hygiene Care, Quick Dry 35' for up to 1 kg, Air Wash to freshen clothes with hot air, and Time Dry, Warm Air and Cool Air from 20 to 240 minutes. A dial and buttons set three dry levels, Wrinkle Prevent, Damp Alert, Delay End and child lock. With AI Control and the SmartThings app, the dryer remembers your habits, suggests cycles and can be run from your phone.

Size and installation

It measures 60 cm wide, 85 cm high and 65 cm deep including the door, and weighs 50 kg. The door is reversible, so it can open on the side that suits your room, and the dryer can be stacked on a Samsung washing machine with the stacking kit sold separately. It works in rooms between 5 and 35 °C.
