Which is better Bosch or Samsung washing machine

Which is better washing machine Bosch or Samsung Thousands of people coming to a household appliance store are asking the question: which washing machine is better than Bosch or Samsung? The question is very provocative and incorrect, since a great variety of washing machines with their own pros and cons are produced under the Bosch and Samsung brands. Perhaps for this reason, experts do not consider this issue seriously, but we will still try to study the topic in detail and draw at least some intermediate conclusions.

Advantages of Bosch equipment

Why do customers love Bosch washing machines? Of course, for quality, impeccable functionality and high reliability. But is this relevant today? Users note the high quality of parts of Bosch brand washing machines (even the budget series), although this is not always compensated by high-quality assembly. The best assembly is found in German-made models, slightly worse than washing machines from Poland and Slovakia, and the lowest-quality assembly is Russian.

By choosing German-assembled models, we can be confident in their quality. Most manufacturers' washing machines have programs that are only nominally capable of caring for delicate fabrics. The Bosch company is actually developing washing algorithms that are least harmful to wool, silk and other “delicate” materials. It should be noted that they have achieved great success in this area, somewhat ahead of their main competitors. Bosch machines stand out with a number of other features.

Approximately 95% of all Bosch washing machine models are fully protected against water leaks. At best, competitors equip only 60% of their washing machines with full protection.
Bosch machines have fairly perfect protection against excessive foaming. Such protection is available on models of different brands, but only Bosch sensors have optimal sensitivity.
Compared to its Korean competitor, Bosch has expanded the range of machine models, especially budget ones. Now customers with any budget can afford a washing machine from a well-known German brand.
An analysis of the modern Russian retail market for washing equipment showed that on average Bosch washing machines are several tens of dollars cheaper, although five years ago the opposite situation was observed.
If you're looking for a narrow, front-loading machine from the Bosch range, you'll find it easily. The Korean competitor has very few such machines.

A common drawback of most Boschs is their rustic design and rather primitive software.

Samsung's strengths

Before moving on to the advantages of Samsung washing machines, I would like to talk about their disadvantages. Without knowing the shortcomings, it will be difficult to say which is better, Bosch or Samsung machines. Well, we digress. One of the main disadvantages of Samsung technology should be considered a poor model range. Moreover, over the past 3 years the model range has become even poorer.

Users also point out the inflated price and an excessive number of “unnecessary”, so-called marketing functions, for which they have to overpay. Often for this reason, potential buyers abandon Samsung branded machines in favor of equipment from other brands. Now let's talk about the advantages of “home assistants” from Samsung.

Great design. The Koreans have clearly worked on the design of the washing machines. Stylish body, hatch door design, control panel, all these elements look very decent.
Wide, roomy and well-designed hatch with door. On Samsung machines, the door rarely breaks, and dirty laundry is very conveniently placed in the drum. A pile of laundry actually flies into the bowels of the machine.
The hatch cuff is fitted very clearly and tightly, while the hatch door closes without problems, and the drum does not touch it during rotation. The tight fit virtually eliminates small items from getting between the hatch cuff and the drum. Women's panties and children's socks very rarely end up in the tanks of modern Samsung washing machines.
Samsung technicians have significantly improved the imbalance protection system. There are simply no analogues to this system. There are special balls inside the drum that ensure balanced rotation even if two sets of lingerie are washed inside.
Several models of Samsung machines are equipped with a function for reloading laundry during washing. However, in fairness, it must be said that Bosch equipment has already acquired such a new product.

The relatively new heating elements of Samsung machines cause a lot of controversy among experts. These heating elements have a ceramic coating that protects the heating element from scale formation. The first batches of these parts turned out extremely bad. Scale formed on them even faster than on metal ones. For this reason, such heating elements have gained notoriety among many craftsmen.

Currently, these details have been significantly improved. The composition of the ceramic material has been changed. Now the scale really “clings to it with a creak”, but still clings, so use Calgon you still have to.

Review of the best models

And yet, which washing machine to choose Bosch or Samsung? It is difficult to identify a winner based on the combination of pros and cons. Apparently we still have to consider specific models.It is for these purposes that we have prepared a review.

Bosch WAT Mid-range model costing $677. Has excellent characteristics. There is a drum that can hold 9 kg of laundry, 15 selected washing programs, the highest energy consumption class and excellent all-round protection. The only drawback of the model can be considered only a spin speed of a maximum of 1000 rpm, but not everyone considers this a minus. The washing machine has a wide hatch and a quiet engine.
Bosch WLL 2426E. This washing machine can be purchased for a much more modest price – $403. For this money you get a large digital display, a 7kg dry load, a spin speed of 1200 rpm, and amazing A+++ energy efficiency. Let's add here a complete protective package against various technical risks, 17 washing programs and a wide loading hatch of 32 cm.
Bosch WLN is very popular among users for its high-quality and quiet washing. This model combined the best traditions and advanced technologies of Bosch. The machine is equipped with intelligent control, an information screen, and a balanced drum, into which you can load up to 7 kg of laundry. 100% safety, spin speed up to 1200 rpm, there is even internal lighting of the drum so that the user does not forget to pull out small things stuck to the inner walls. Price: $480.
Samsung WW10M86KNOA. A very expensive, but technically sophisticated Korean-made washing machine with a load of 10 kg. Control can be carried out not only by the touch control panel, but even remotely using a smartphone. The machine is equipped with the following functions: direct drive, bubble wash, reloading laundry. Spinning is carried out at speeds of up to 1600 rpm.The model has a special compartment for liquid powder, internal drum lighting and 14 washing programs. Partial leakage protection. The average price is $1,500.
Samsung WW80K62E01W. This machine has been chosen by buyers of the country's largest online stores for two years in a row. It looks very beautiful, has a load of 8 kg of dry laundry, and it has unsurpassed software. Even experts note that this model has “strong firmware.” The machine washes excellently, and the spin cycle is beyond praise. If necessary, the drum can be accelerated to 1200 rpm. There are 14 carefully selected programs in the arsenal. Price: $483.
Samsung WW90K6414QW. Not cheap at all, but technically very well packaged and impeccably built washing machine. The machine is controlled by a touch panel and a smartphone. There is additional loading of laundry and a modified drum for 9 kg of laundry. The spin speed can be accelerated to 1400 rpm, and 14 washing programs guarantee high quality care for your items. The average cost is $890.

It's time to draw our subjective conclusion based on the analyzed data. In our opinion, Bosch equipment wins by a slight margin. Taking into account the unfavorable economic situation in the country, Bosch offers more models at the best price. Perhaps, technically, Bosch machines are a little inferior to their Korean competitors, but they are better balanced, well protected and work longer, provided that you choose a German-assembled Bosch “home assistant”.
