Build quality in Russia

According to official statements by the administration of the plant in the Moscow region, the quality of washing machines is high thanks to three-level control. Those. theoretically, it should not be inferior to Korean or Chinese models.

But in practice, it seems that this is not entirely true. The LG plant in the Moscow region announced a trend towards localization of materials from which cars are made, which has already reached more than half. This means that the components are also produced in Russia.

According to washing machine repairmen, domestic LG models break down many times more often than their foreign counterparts. In particular, they pointed out the following, not very good, from their point of view, features of Russian samples:

• the thickness of the drum, and therefore its strength, is significantly less;
• nickel-plated bushing, which quickly fails if it is not replaced with bronze or stainless steel;
• The modular board is not covered with an anti-corrosion coating and a short circuit may occur in high humidity.

Refrigerators

Poland, China and Russia are where LG refrigerators are produced. The country of origin depends on the models themselves. In Russia they produce budget economy class models that are accessible to the average consumer, in Poland they produce more complex premium multi-compartment refrigerators. Two-door models, the so-called Side by Side, are produced in China. Unlike television equipment, some components are produced at the assembly site: the bottom, rear wall and doors of the units are pressed.

Among the distinctive features of refrigerators manufactured by LG is a linear inverter compressor, which reduces energy consumption and reduces the noise level inherent in models with No Frost. You can also mention Multi Air Flow technology - multi-flow distribution of cold air throughout the entire volume of the refrigerator compartment.

Wi-Fi is another option that is found in the latest models of this company. When connecting the application, the owner of the smartphone will receive notifications about an open door and changes in temperature inside the chambers. He will be able to remotely turn on the fast freezing and holiday mode, as well as diagnose the unit.
