Haier HW80-B16939 8kg Washing Machine 1600rpm Spin Speed - White vs Samsung Series 5 AI Energy WW80CGC04DABEU 8KG 1400rpm Smart Washing Machine - Black — Comparison
Both are 8 kg machines in the £329–£349 range, but they make opposite trade-offs. The Haier HW80-B16939 (£349) spins at 1600rpm — 200rpm faster than most rivals — which extracts more water from clothes before the dryer cycle, cutting drying time and energy. Its energy class is C.
The Samsung WW80CGC04 (£329) spins at 1400rpm but holds an A energy rating and adds Wi-Fi control via the SmartThings app, letting you start or monitor a wash remotely. It is £20 cheaper and will cost less to run over its lifetime.
Bottom line: choose the Haier HW80-B16939 if you use a tumble dryer and want the fastest spin to cut drying time. Choose the Samsung WW80CGC04 if energy bills and smart-home convenience matter more than raw spin speed.
