8000 series vs 7000 series: different sensors
Samsung 8000 series: AI Wash
Some models from the Samsung 8000 series have a new technology called AI Wash. This way, the washing machine uses 4 sensors to measure the weight, amount of water, and amount of detergent. The soilage sensor measures the soil level and adds extra detergent or washing time if necessary. This way, you can be sure your clothes are clean after 1 cycle.
Samsung 7000 series: manually
The Samsung 7000 series has a regular sensor that checks how cloudy the water is. Based on that, the washing machine sets the number and duration of rinse cycles. If you want extra rinse cycles or detergent, you can set that manually.
8000 series vs 7000 series: difference in QuickDrive technique
Samsung 8000 series: QuickDrive Q-Drum
With the QuickDrive technology, you can wash your laundry 2 times as fast. The Samsung 8000 washing machines use the Q-Drum technique. This means there's a spinning plate behind the drum that moves along independently. This way, the washing machine provides a powerful cleaning cycle that cleans your clothes better and keeps them looking nice longer. And it can save you up to 20% energy.
Samsung 7000 series: QuickDrive Q-Bubble
The Samsung 7000 series uses the fast QuickDrive technology, but with Q-Bubble. The most important difference compared to the Q-Drum technology are the extra water shots that are added during the cycle. This way, the machine creates sturdy bubbles, which clean your clothes thoroughly and gently.
8000 vs 7000 series: both hygienic

This way, you can also wash your clothes at a low temperature, so you save money and your favorite sweater looks nice longer. Both series also have a wash cycle that removes bacteria and allergens, like pet hairs and pollen.
8000 vs 7000 series: both the same controls
You can control both series via an app on your smartphone or tablet. Use the AI Control to connect the washing machine to your WiFi network, so you can easily choose the wash cycle that suits you. This way, you don't have to worry about which settings you need. The washing machine will also remember your wash preferences, so you'll know exactly how many times you need to rinse your wool sweater for the next wash cycle.
8000 vs 7000 series: AddWash is optional
Both the 8000 and 7000 series offer a model with AddWash. This is an extra hatch in the door, so you can add any laundry your forgot at any moment. Even when the drum is already spinning. This way, you don't have to wait for the next wash cycle for your T-shirt. Keep in mind that AddWash isn't on the 8000 and 7000 series models by default.
8000 vs 7000 series: AutoDose is optional
Both series have AutoDose with which the appliance doses your detergent and fabric softener automatically. This way, you'll never use too much or too little detergent, so your clothes wear less fast. The washing machines also need less rinse cycles to completely rinse out the detergent. The machine won't use more water than necessary.
7000 series: wash up to 11kg with a Bespoke mode
