Which washing machine is better: Siemens or Samsung?

Every year, the quality of manufactured household appliances decreases, as does trust in previously proven brands. Previously, super-reliable Siemens began to break down more often, and their main competitors Samsung also do not shine with increased wear resistance. Before you go to the store for a new washing machine, it is worth studying the market offers and identifying a few favorites. We suggest comparing two popular manufacturers and choosing Siemens or Samsung. Let’s compare the “whales” in terms of functionality, reliability, design and price.

Functionality and reliability

To understand which washing machine is better, it is worth comparing them in all important parameters. First of all, let’s compare the functionality of washing machines. Thus, among the advantages of the German Siemens we can highlight a particularly gentle delicate wash, a completely safe children's mode and a fast program in which the speed does not affect the quality of washing. Also among the indisputable advantages are 100% leakage protection and foam control.

Korean Samsung models also have their advantages. The most striking among them is the presence of special balls in the design, which ensure ideal balancing of the drum at any load level. Consumers also note the practically unbreakable door, a spacious hatch and a cuff that fits tightly to the body.

The set of programs for both brands is approximately the same. In terms of software, Siemens is inferior, since the “Germans” are equipped with rather primitive electronics. But they offer consumers a wide range of front-facing machines, while Samsung sells a limited number of models.

In terms of reliability, manufacturers are on an equal footing.Unofficial statistics from service centers say that Samsung washing machines break down more often, but this argument is easy to dispute - Samsung is also more actively purchased than its competitors.

According to statistics from service centers, Samsung washing machines break down more often, but it’s worth considering that the brand’s sales volume is also higher.

If we compare the technological component, then the “Koreans” win here. The company constantly offers new ideas and improves old technologies, while the “Germans” follow the beaten path, often ignoring innovations and modern developments. But everything is quite controversial: most of Samsung’s innovations have unproven benefits. Siemens uses techniques that have been proven by time and thousands of customers.

Design and wash quality

The determining characteristic when choosing a washing machine will be the quality of washing. Each washing machine manufacturer passed a test that determined how well the machines cope with stains of various origins. The test took place in this way: fabrics with 6 types of contaminants were loaded into each unit, after which the “Cotton” mode was started. The winner was Samsung, which washed almost all problem areas. Siemens was unable to remove animal fat and cherries, although it completed the cycle faster than its competitor.

It is impossible to objectively evaluate the design - each person has his own tastes and preferences. We can only note that both brands have models in white, gray and black. Interestingly, Samsung is distinguished by the space design of the case. Thus, all Samsung cars are equipped with a convex hatch door and chrome inserts.

Cost of machines

To compare the pricing policies of manufacturing companies, it is worth comparing the average cost of various models of both brands.A quick analysis makes it clear that Samsung washing machines are cheaper than Siemens. Almost every Simensky machine costs 7000-8000 rubles. expensive. The amount is significant, because the price tag for some units does not exceed 10-15 thousand.

But you should understand that both companies have different price ranges. So, Siemens offers the following options:

• iQ300 WS12L142 – about 24 thousand rubles;
• WS 12L247 – up to 28 thousand rubles.
• WM 12 N290 – approximately 39,000 rubles.
• WM 14 U640 – about 64-65 thousand rubles;
• WD 15 H541 – cost from 125 thousand rubles.

Korean cars are more affordable. Among the machines, it is easy to find budget options in the range of 15-20 thousand rubles, which is considered an indisputable advantage. As an example, here are a few models:

• WF8590 NLW8 – from 15,000 rubles;
• WF8590 NLW9 – on average 16 thousand rubles;
• WW65K42 E08W – about 24-25 thousand rubles;
• WW65K42 E09W – approximately 30,000 rubles;
• WW90M74 LNOA – up to 60 thousand rubles.

Unexpectedly, Samsung wins our “race”. Siemens is inferior to the “Koreans” in many characteristics, including the quality of washing and price. By the way, it is Samsung washing machines that consumers often choose.
