Which washing machine is better: Samsung or Indesit?

Which washing machine is better Samsung or Indesit Today, the washing equipment market offers machines from several fairly large manufacturers. Before making a purchase, many people are faced with the question of which brand of machine is best to buy. The future “home assistant” should not only have excellent functionality, an affordable price and good build quality, but also cope well with dirt and make as little noise as possible. Let's look at which of the washing machines produced by the largest manufacturers to choose, Samsung or Indesit. Let's compare the equipment in terms of cost, features and reliability.

From a maintainability point of view

Very often, buyers, when deciding which washing machine is better, pay attention to the assembly of the unit, the quality of the main components and components of the equipment. Nobody wants to buy a machine and then take the washing machine to the trash after a couple of years. Even when purchasing budget equipment, you want it to serve faithfully for at least 5-7 years.

An important factor is the maintainability of the machine - it is desirable that spare parts and elements can be freely purchased at an affordable price. If you look from the point of view of maintainability, then it is better to give preference to Samsung. Let's figure out why.

Over time, the need to replace the oil seal and bearings in the machine may become acute. Due to the fact that the quality of many components, namely bearings, from all manufacturers is not very good, they may have to be replaced in a couple of years. The drum spider may also need to be repaired. In such a situation, a mandatory stage of work will be disassembling the washing machine tank.

The manufacturer Indesit produces machines with a non-separable tank, so if you need to replace bearings and oil seals, you may encounter certain difficulties.

As for the Samsung brand, almost all washing machines are equipped with tanks that can be easily disassembled. An exception may be the old or cheapest machines.

However, Russian craftsmen have come up with several methods for sawing non-separable SMA tanks for repair and replacement of components, and methods for subsequently joining the halves. It should be borne in mind that such work will be more labor-intensive, and, consequently, the cost of repairs will increase by at least 50%. Samsung has collapsible tanks

It’s very easy to see whether the washing machine is equipped with a collapsible or non-dismountable tank. To do this, you will have to remove the top cover (if it is a front-loading model). The panel can be removed simply by unscrewing the two screws securing it. When the tank of the machine is to be disassembled, it will be possible to see the fasteners holding the halves of the tank together: bolts, latches, brackets, etc. This is considered one of the main factors determining how repairable the SMA is.

It is also worth considering another rather expensive repair that requires replacing the elements of the control board. The microcontroller can be damaged as a result of a power surge or violation of equipment operation rules. Replacing a module element is not always possible. So, in Samsung and Indesit machines, it is impossible to rearrange the microcontroller; it will need to be completely changed control module.

By price

Often buyers, when thinking about choosing Samsung or Indesit, compare the price of the machines. From this point of view, Indesit washing machines win. If you focus only on cost, then today you can purchase almost any model from this manufacturer, paying no more than $200 for it.There are Indesit washing machines with vertical loading, the price of which goes beyond this amount, but still no more than $300-400. For clarity, let’s imagine the cost of several Indesit SMA models: Indesit models

EWSD 51031 – $111;
EWSB 5085 BK CIS – $144;
BWSD 61051 1 – $179;
BWSE 81282 L B – $189;
BTW D51052 W (RF) – $238

Almost 95% of the models offered today by the Indesit brand on the market will be included in the price range from $100 to $200.

As for Samsung washing machines, they are much more expensive. The range of prices for machines from the Korean manufacturer is quite large; you can buy a washing machine for both $17 and $1,100. Let's imagine the prices for some Samsung models:

WF60F1R1F2W – RUB 17,500;
WW65K42E08W – RUB 29,990;
WW90J5446FXW – RUB 37,990;
WW90M74LNOO – 79990 rub.

Thus, if you have a limited budget, a washing machine from the Indesit brand would be an ideal option. But if it’s not so much the price that matters, but the manufacturability of the equipment, then you can dig deeper.

Manufacturability

Another important parameter that buyers evaluate when choosing washing equipment. Samsung is several steps higher than the Indesites in terms of technologies and developments used in the production of equipment. Indesit washing machines for the most part are simple, not “stuffed” with a bunch of add-ons, they regularly wash and spin clothes, without promising anything unusual.

Direct drive automatic machines are produced under the Samsung brand, which cannot be said about Indesit equipment. Direct drive machines are one step ahead of belt drive washers. The latest design allows you to implement special drum rotation programs and washing algorithms.The inverter engines that Samsung is equipped with can accelerate the drum to 1600-2000 rpm, while the Indesit brushed motor cannot do this.

It is also worth noting the design of Samsung washing machines, their latest software, convenient control of the washing process, and digital displays. Indesits, compared to Samsung, are ordinary “horses” that still do their job well.
