Which washing machine is better: Ariston or Samsung?
When buying a washing machine, you want to choose the best model that will delight you not only with price, but also with washing quality, reliability, and functionality. If you study consumer reviews, you can find out that equipment from Samsung and Ariston brands is very popular. But even deciding between two manufacturers is quite difficult. Let's figure out whether it is better to buy an Ariston or Samsung washing machine, and why.
How should you compare?
In fact, many experts do not recommend comparing exactly the two brands. Ordinary users also agree with the masters. Specific models of washing machines should be evaluated and analyzed, comparing their technical characteristics. Both Samsung and Ariston have good models of washing machines, but there is also equipment that is not entirely successful. That is why it is necessary to narrow the range of compared samples to individual automatic machines.
It is very difficult to compare all Ariston and Samsung models; there can be hundreds of examples. Therefore, we will provide a general analysis, on the basis of which each buyer will be able to decide what is better and which brand to give preference to.
Aristons in the eyes of professionals
Washing equipment repair specialists do not hesitate to say that Ariston appliances have to be repaired very often. This is due to the low quality of spare parts and components of the machines. However, buyers still often choose them because of their low cost and good functionality.
Speaking about Ariston equipment, it is worth noting that it is identical to Indesit washing machines, since the equipment is manufactured by one company from the same components.
Masters highlight the following advantages of Aristons:
- stability during spinning - the equipment does not “jump” and absorbs vibrations well;
- convenient and intuitive interface;
- low price;
- a wide variety of special washing modes;
- simple controls;
- availability of various add-ons and options.
Ariston washing machines also have disadvantages, and quite significant ones:
- Non-separable tank. In such machines it is very problematic to change the oil seal and bearings; repairs will cost the owner a pretty penny. As practice shows, parts wear out after two to three years of operation of the equipment. Thus, housewives will have to face expensive repairs in the medium term;
- Imperfect electronics. It is the SMAs of this brand that are distinguished by their “raw” control modules.
Ariston automatic washing machines are budget equipment from which you don’t need to expect anything “supernatural.” It is advisable to refuse the purchase if the water in your region is too hard. Machines from the Italian brand are not designed for long-term use, therefore, when planning to purchase an expensive automatic dryer, it is better to choose a more reliable manufacturer.
Masters about Samsung
South Korean Samsungs have long been loved by users. Craftsmen also speak well of washing machines. Many people liked the innovative technologies used in the production of washing machines in recent years. Firstly, we are talking about the EcoBubble function, or bubble washing.The point is to improve the quality of removing stains from clothes by saturating the water with small air bubbles and quickly dissolving detergents. Secondly, the AddWash technology has received a lot of praise - the equipment is equipped with a special hatch for reloading laundry into the drum after the cycle has started.
Automatic machines from this manufacturer have another undeniable advantage. Almost all modern Samsung models are direct drive, which is better than commutator Aristons. Direct drive will relieve the owner of the machine from the need to change the motor brushes and belt.
In addition to the above, experts highlight several more advantages of Samsung machines:
- good electronics;
- convenient control;
- stylish design;
- high build quality.
As for the disadvantages, the budget SMA Samsung models are very noisy. The units are equipped with small counterweightsthat simply don't get the job done. The equipment vibrates and jumps even when spinning at medium speed - up to 800 rpm. Many machines support drum acceleration up to 1000-1200 rpm, but housewives prefer not to use this mode so as not to “irritate” the washing machine once again. Among the disadvantages, it is also worth highlighting the rapid wear of dampers and shock-absorbing springs of the drum.
Of course, all modern technological “stuff” increases the cost, and, of course, the price of washing machines. However, in this case, the overpayment is justified, direct-drive washing machines are considered more reliable, and various functions and additions make using the unit even more enjoyable.
Modern Samsung direct drive AVRs are characterized by a long maintenance-free service life.
What to buy?
If we evaluate the listed pros and cons of washing machines, the advantage will be on the side of Samsung. Aristons win exclusively by their price - Italian washing machines are much cheaper than South Korean ones.
What to choose is up to the buyer to decide. Samsung machines break down less often; the probability of damage to the control module on them is much less than with Ariston machines. In addition, replacing bearings and oil seals on Samsung equipment will be cheaper and easier.

As for me, Hotpoint-Ariston is not only good in price, but also in functionality. And what about reliability - my washing machine is more than 5 years old, and it doesn’t let me down.
And my Samsung is 14 years old. And it just started to act up.
And my Samsung, after 13 years, everything... the computer crashed. It's a shame and at the wrong time.
