Comparing LG and Samsung washing machines, what is better, which one to choose?

Washing machines This is quite a provocative question that is impossible to answer with 100% accuracy, because under these two brands manufactured a large number of quality equipment with the latest technology, and in particular washing machines, each of which embodied interesting innovations and have their unique features.

To form a position on this issue, we have decided to make a comparison between two most advanced models of washing machines Samsung WW 10H9600EW/LR and LG F14B3PDS7. What has come out of it, you will judge for yourselves.

Cost

With most of the same features and conditions, the models of these washing machines have different costs, although for the most part they are similar.

Samsung washing machineExactly the average price of the Samsung WW 10H9600EW/LR ranges around 80 thousand rubles, while his colleague with similar data, LG F14B3PDS7costs about 70 thousand roubles.

Of course, we don't have to talk about comparing the advantages of this or that model by just one individual feature, but the price is of paramount importance for many buyers.

The average price has been deduced thanks to the analysis of prices for these models from the major network companies, which specialize in trading household appliances, on the territory of the Russian Federation.

So,Which brand of washing machines is better: LG or Samsung?

But the difference is still insignificant.

But when it comes to premium models, LG washing machineLG manufacturer begins to win, as the example above showed us, with a difference of 32 thousand rubles. Such a price difference is quite difficult to notice and not to take into account.

But why is it impossible to conduct a comparison of LG and Samsung washing machines only by cost? In spite of the fact that both these models from one class, the characteristics they have are still different, so the final conclusions can be made when we fully analyze the totality of all factors.

Which of the machines washes better?

Samsung 1600 rpmWashing cycle is performed well enough that machines from the manufacturer Samsung, as from the manufacturer LG. But which machine is better? Let's begin with the spin cycle.

As we all know, the quality of detergent depends on the spin speed of the drum at this action. The faster will rotate the drum, the better the spinning will be. But in addition to the nice moment when you unload almost dry laundry from the tank, there is another, bad side of the coin, which states that the faster the drum rotates, the faster things spoil.

For both of these machine models, the spin quality of the spin cycle on high, however, it is worth noting that , but LG only 1400 revolutions / minute. But even at 1400 rpm the cloths will be wet only at 44%, which is more than enough for fast drying.

Washing quality of both machines is excellent, but buyers have noted that LG with steam function old dirt is washed much better. In addition, in this machine, you can refresh children's toys and small rugs without detergents and water, which is very practical.

Reliability and repair work

LG at 1400 rpmOriginally, the production of Samsung and LG washing designs was organized in Korea, but today it is not so easy to find machines in Korean assembly. Most often these machines are either made in China (which is half the trouble), or in Russia (which is not at all reassuring), because both brands have factories in Russia.

So, speaking of the reliability of the two models, we must compare instances made in our country, so to speak, for the purity of the experiment. You can not compare Samsung Korean assembly and LG, which was assembled in Russia, as the conclusion will be obvious that the Korean machine will be much more reliable, as evidenced by even the masters themselves in the Russian service centers.

In addition, the concept of "reliability" includes not only the place of assembly, but the quality of parts from which the machine was assembled. In the above-described models of washing machines are installed inverter motors, to which both manufacturers gave a 10-year warranty.

Burning shadeAs for the service life of the units of these brands, it is the same and is about 7 years. The warranty period for the machine is equal to 1 year.

If you compare the most frequent repair work among washing machines Samsung and LG, the models often fails the heating element.

In the models of the manufacturer LG replacement is much easier than in Samsung machines, as in the first case, the heating element is located under the back cover, but in Samsung will have to remove the front cover, which significantly complicates the procedure.

Washing programs, additional functions and maximum load

LG 17 kg per loadOf great importance when choosing a model or brand of washing machine has a maximum load limit of laundry. LG this maximum capacity is limited to 17 kg, while the machine from Samsung is only 12 kg, as far as full-size designs.

In the narrow washing machines of both brands, the maximum load is equal to 8 kg. But in general, the most common models have a loading weight of things from 7 to 10 pounds of laundry, which is enough to wash things in one wash cycle for a family of 5 people.

Samsung 12 kgThe control of the washing process in a Samsung and LG washing machine is quite clear. In different models, it can be both touch and electronic control. A standard set of programs for washing is similar, as a rule, they are aimed at washing all kinds of fabrics: synthetics, cotton, jeans, wool.

In this case, the number of programs won the model manufacturer Samsung, but LG is a productive model, not all of which have Samsung: "Night Cycle", "Allergen Wash", "Freshening", "Steam Wash".

It is not necessary to compare modes of washing, because everyone will have his subjective opinion, which will not necessarily converge with the opinion of other people. Someone needs a little more modes for everyday washing and outerwear, and someone wants to wash well without hassle things from delicate fabrics like silk.

In terms of functionality, the devices of these two brands are also similar. The two models have such features as:

  • Samsung washing machine panelAutomatic weighing.
  • Drum half-loading.
  • Boosted washing mode.
  • Control water quantity.
  • Delayed start.

LG washing plateIn their latest creations, Samsung washing machines carry a new technology called Eco Bubble, but the manufacturer LG decided not to repeat the rival and introduced the technology of steam processing.

These two new technologies have their own specific pros and cons.

Samsung with Eco Bubble Technology

According to user reviews, still more successful was the idea of steaming, while the advantage of air-bubble machine is that it better dissolves detergent.

Samsung's premium washing machines are equipped with sensors that allow you to dose detergents and choose a program for washing depending on the degree and type of dirt.

LG with Steam Technology

If you compare Samsung and LG on the above parameters, it is still impossible to make a definite conclusion. Although Samsung surpasses its rival in the number of programs, 2-3 additional functions that you may not need are hardly worth the overpayment of 20-30% of the total amount.

Vibration and noise

And the last, quite important detail that you should pay your attention to when buying a machine from one of these manufacturers. This is the noise level of the device during operation.

Inverter motorIf the machine is installed in the kitchen, and there is a small child in the family, it is of great importance.

In LG and Samsung washing machines, inverter motors are installed, which are characterized as motors with reduced noise level. But in addition to this, in some models of Samsung washing designs was introduced VRT-M system, through which it was possible to reduce noise and vibration.

So, in the model Samsung WW 10H9600EW/LR the noise level is only 45 dB and during spinning - 71 dB, while in the model LG F14B3PDS7. The noise level is 57 dB when washing, and 75 dB when wringing.

Korean_assembly_washer

As you can see, the difference is not significant, so both machines will be evaluated by 5 points.

In the end, we would like to note that choosing between these two washing machines, it will be difficult for you to make a choice.

But we advise you to be guided by the functionality and programs that you need specifically, because the sense of paying extra money for something that you do not use?

And the most important thing that applies to all manufactured machines is to pay attention to the country of manufacture and the country of the manufacturer.
