Which is better: Candy or LG washing machine?

Which is better washing machine Candy or LG Today, the washing equipment market is replete with offers from different manufacturers. Choosing a good and reliable automatic washing machine is not so easy. Before purchasing, it is better to carefully analyze the models you like, read the opinions of real users, and not focus only on the design and price. This will help reduce the risk of purchasing a low-quality product. Judging by the reviews, buyers are advised to pay attention to Candy or LG washing machines. So which brand should you choose?

Compare based on individual criteria

Before running to the hardware store, we recommend spending the evening comparing washing machine models. It is very important to determine the optimal characteristics of a new “home assistant” for you. Some buyers do not care about the price; they care about the dimensions of the machine, since a narrow bathroom does not allow room for a full-size washing machine. For others, on the contrary, the size of the equipment is not important; they need to fit within a limited budget.

Once the most important parameters of the washing machine specifically for your family have been highlighted, you should proceed to a review of the models offered for purchase. Let's try to compare Kandy and LG slot machines based on the main characteristics that are so important to users.

Price. Thrifty buyers should pay attention to washing machines from the Italian brand. You can buy an LG washing machine for at least $200, while the minimum price for decent Candy models is 14-15 thousand rubles. Within 33,000 you can buy a luxurious Kandy washing machine for 10 kg of laundry, with all sorts of functions and additions. An ElG machine with a similar drum capacity will cost 15-20 thousand more.
Maximum load. Users often choose a machine based on this criterion. Families of 1, 2, 3 people do not see the point in overpaying for a large drum and running a “half-empty” washing machine. Therefore, the average 5-6 kilograms allowed is enough for them. However, if you fundamentally need a machine that can hold as many clothes as possible per wash, then preference should be given to the LG brand, which produces models with a load of up to 17 kg. Kandy is inferior here, offering equipment with a maximum capacity of 10 kg.
Drum rotation speed during spinning. Housewives want to play it safe and buy a machine that can wring things out until they are almost dry. Kandy machines can accelerate the drum to a maximum of 1400 revolutions per minute, while ElG washing machines spin things at 1600 rotations (we are talking about models LG FH-6G1BCH6N or LG LSWD100).
Engine's type. It's no secret that direct drive inverter motors are much more reliable than their collector counterparts. The maintenance-free life of the inverter is longer, motors with belt drives often fail due to worn brushes, etc. Candy machines with an inverter engine cost from 25,000 and above, as for LG machines, almost all of them are direct drive and the price tag starts from 20 thousand rubles
Noise background. Many people care how quietly their “home assistant” works. In principle, the noise level of machines from these brands is almost the same. However, you can find LG models that are a little quieter. For example, LG FH2G6TD2 is characterized by an indicator of 52/75 dB, respectively, when washing and spinning (at 1200 rpm), and Candy CS4 1061D1/2-07, spinning at 1000 rpm. produces noise at 58/77 dB.
Water consumption per cycle.Utility tariffs are annually indexed upward, so the issue of saving water resources is always relevant. Here, the comparison did not reveal a clear leader - both brands have models that consume 40-45 liters of water or more, depending on the volume of the drum. We are talking about the models: LG F-1096SD3 and Candy GVS4 127TWC3/2.
Dimensions. The size of the equipment plays an important role. There are narrow (depth from 32 to 45 cm) and full-sized (depth 60 cm) CM. Narrow machines, as a rule, are characterized by a small drum capacity - from 4 to 6 kg of items. Full-size washing machines can wash 10 and 12 kg of laundry at a time. Here you should focus on how much space you are willing to allocate for installing washing equipment.

When considering a specific model, it is very important to study consumer reviews, because only when using the equipment can defects carefully hidden by the seller “come to light.”

So which manufacturer’s SMA is better to buy? It is advisable to purchase a model with an inverter motor, minimal water consumption and electricity consumption. Therefore, from the point of view of technical characteristics, the choice can be made on Korean washing machines. If your purchasing budget is limited, take a closer look at Kandy. Among the models there are many worthy options in terms of price-quality ratio.

Other important parameters

The criteria for choosing a washing machine described above are important, but no less important is the “stuffing” of the machine. Attention should be paid not only to technical parameters, but also to the number of different options, add-ons, functions, and intelligence capabilities. When choosing the optimal SMA model, it is better to conduct an in-depth comparative analysis of equipment from LG and Candy.

As for SMA control, models of both brands have electronic control.Most washing machines are equipped with a convenient digital display that displays all the information about the washing process. Programs are launched and functions are selected using the selector and buttons.

For some users, it is important to choose a machine that has as many special washing programs in its memory as possible. Any model is equipped with standard modes: “Cotton”, “Quick wash”, “Delicate and hand wash”, “Wool”. Depending on the model, the washing machine’s memory may have additional modes:

silk. Starts when cleaning thin, silk items. The drum rotates at minimum speed, intelligence determines the optimal water heating temperature;
duvet blanked. Allows you to carefully wash bulky items with down filling. Things do not lose their appearance and retain their properties;
sportswear. Cleans items made from airtight fabrics. The “highlight” of the regime is pre-washing sports items in cool water;
intensive wash. A program for quickly removing stains. Due to the intensive rotation of the drum, the most difficult contaminants are removed;
children's mode. During washing, the water warms up to 90 °C, several rinsing cycles ensure complete leaching of the washing powder from the fabric fibers;
steam treatment. Machines equipped with a steam generator can provide more efficient and gentle washing.

If you compare Kandy and ElG machines costing about 22 thousand, you can find that the former have 16-17 modes, the latter - 13 preset programs.

The next thing you should pay attention to is the efficiency and economy classes of SMA. Reliable washing machines have high ratings. Most machines of both brands have an “A” class for washing efficiency and energy consumption.As for the spin efficiency class, Korean machines win here, most of which are rated “A”. Kandy washing machines mainly have a spin class of “B” and “C”.

Also, when trying to understand which machine is better to buy, it is worth studying the additional functions of the equipment. Modern automatic machines should have a set of convenient and useful options, for example:

protection against power surges. Smart washing machines can turn off when they detect sudden changes in the electrical network;
possibility of remote control. A convenient function that allows you to start washing from your smartphone;
storing user programs. This option is suitable for housewives who constantly adjust the parameters of the factory modes (reducing the spin speed, increasing the water heating temperature). You can store individual washing parameters in memory. (The option is available, for example, on the LG FH2G6TD4 model, which costs about 23 thousand, and the Candy Smart CS34 1051D1/2-07, which costs about $150);
delaying the start of the wash. An addition that allows you to postpone the start of washing by several hours. Almost all modern SMAs allow you to set the desired washing time;
Aquastop system. Completely protects equipment from emergency leaks.

The budget model Candy Smart CS34 1051D1/2-07 has a function for reloading laundry, which cannot be found on LG washing machines for 20-25 thousand rubles.

Also, it is better to choose an automatic machine that can calculate the mass of laundry loaded into the drum and determine the optimal volume of water and detergent for washing based on this data.
