Rating of the best LG washing machines

About leading Korean brands

Korea is a respected player in the household appliances market in the Russian Federation. The list of the largest companies supplying washing machines includes such well-known brands as Samsung, Daewoo and LG. Equipment from all three mentioned brands has much in common: it combines modern technologies with an affordable price for our customers.

The other side of the coin is the not particularly long-term operation of the devices. This is what buyers have to pay for the savings. If we look at the situation in a positive way, the manufacturer is hinting to us that the equipment is becoming obsolete and it is worth periodically replacing it with a new one.

On the market you can find LG, Samsung or Daewoo cars not only made in Korea. Let's look at where else equipment from the mentioned brands can be produced:

• LG Group has more than two hundred representative offices in 80 countries. At the same time, factories are scattered all over the world. So, in Russia you can find cars not only made in South Korea, but also from China, Taiwan, the Philippines, Poland, and Turkey. There is also an LG plant in the Moscow region (Ruza).

• Samsung also produces its SMAs not only in its native lands, but also in China and Turkey. The plant in the Kaluga region produces cars according to Korean designs, which are supplied mainly to the domestic market.

• As for Daewoo brand cars, they are supplied to us directly from Korea. Therefore, they can safely be considered “the most Korean”. But this is provided that the machine has the “Made in Korea” badge. Didn't find confirmation? Look at the markings - the model may have been assembled in China or Poland.

How to choose a washing machine of this brand?

Before you figure out which LG washing machines are suitable, you need to decide on the size and type of load. Then they think about what volumes of laundry will need to be washed and what kind of laundry it will be. This affects the spin power and drum volume . It is also worth taking into account the unique technologies of the Korean brand LG.

Electronic control

All modern Korean best LG washing machines are equipped with an electronic control system . With its help, you can set the mode from all possible options, and the smart system will independently select the parameters.

Quick wash function

LG has introduced the TurboWash . It is based on the “ 6 Motion ” technology (6 care movements). Washing is done in just 59 minutes. Jet Spray technology uses the function of minimizing the total washing time, significantly saving electricity and guaranteeing better washing. Water is sprayed directly onto the fabric for 2 minutes. Jet Spray technology improves on the already excellent performance of 6 Motion technology and contributes to the TurboWash function to shorten the wash cycle.

LG machines have introduced the AI ​​DD function - intelligent fabric detection and selection of the optimal mode

Drive: belt or direct

Washing machines use one of two drives - inverter and belt . The latter type moves due to the rotation of a belt that is connected to the engine. And the first involves starting the drum directly from the engine.

Models with inverter drive are more reliable and modern. They are guaranteed for 10 years. And the equipment works more quietly with it.

There are fewer parts rubbing against each other. Accordingly, they are less subject to wear . A car with an inverter motor will cost more than one with a belt motor.

Design characteristics of models

The company offers washing machines that are equipped with:

• direct drive;
• quick wash (wash in 1 hour instead of 95 minutes);
• steaming, drying, drum cleaning modes, 6 care movements , electronic control;
• determining the washing mode taking into account the weight and material of the laundry;
• steaming - steam is mixed with water and smoothes the laundry in the drum.

Lji washing machines are equipped with innovative features

Summary

Let's summarize:

• The manufacturer does not rely on stainless steel - the tanks in most of their washing machines are made of plastic, but this does not make them less reliable and functional.
• All Korean manufacturers pay a lot of attention to innovation, each introducing their own technologies.
• All manufacturers use direct drive as a more modern and economical solution.
• The cost of SMA of Korean brands is affordable for Russian consumers. With the same functionality, Samsung and other brands are cheaper than their German and Swedish counterparts.
• Most of the SMAs from Samsung, LG and Daewoo are produced in the Russian Federation and China. This reduces the quality of the equipment, but all of it is repairable - there are no problems with spare parts.

Any of the Korean brands deserves the attention of our consumers. A good price, great capabilities and a 10-year warranty on the motor are already a lot, and given the highest quality of washing and modern technologies, buying a Korean SMA can be one of the most successful purchases. The main thing is to pay attention to the assembly - there are very few washing machines assembled in Korea on the market.

Review of popular models

It’s worth going through the most popular models to determine whether the assurances of experts, manufacturers and users agree that SMA from YK can be safely chosen for functionality and quality. We will consider both frontal and other modifications of automatic cars so that you have plenty to choose from.

Samsung - Turn on Tomorrow (turn on the future)

Next we will present one of the most popular models from Samsung.

Samsung WF8590NLW9 . According to Yandex.Market, this SM deserves a rating of 4.5 points out of 5, which is a very good indicator. The difference between the machine is that it comes with a removable lid. This allows you to install it under the countertop to save useful space.

• Quite stable, does not jump;

There were also disadvantages:

• Insufficient capacity - blankets and other bulky items do not fit;
• Some users had to install additional anti-vibration stands;
• Difficulty in cleaning the drain filter - the hatch is difficult to open;
• Short hoses for water supply and drainage;

Important! The cost of the machine is only 15,585 rubles. Obviously, at such a price there cannot be any shortcomings. But don't take everyone's word for it. Often people choose a machine based on economy, but they find out that it does not fit through the doorway or the hose does not reach the drain during installation. So some of the opinions may be subjective.
