Which is better: LG or Atlant washing machine?

Which is better washing machine LG or Atlant When choosing an automatic washing machine, the buyer must pay attention to the brand under which the equipment is produced. Some manufacturers immediately inspire confidence, while others sow doubts. An endless comparison of machines from different brands begins, studying reviews, and, of course, the characteristics of each specific SMA model. Let's try to compare washing machines from two well-known brands. Let’s figure out whether it’s better to choose an LG or Atlant washing machine, what are the advantages and disadvantages of these machines.

Let's compare the characteristics of the machines

Where is the best place to start evaluating washing machines? Today, the household appliances market offers a huge number of models, differing in functionality, size, design, water and light consumption. To compare washing machines of the ElG and Atlant brands, the first step is to determine the criteria by which the machines will be compared. After you have compiled a list of characteristics that are important to you, you can go to the well-known Yandex.Market website and start comparing washing machine models. Most often, when choosing washing equipment, buyers study:

price;
capacity;
energy consumption class;
water consumption;
number of special washing modes;
noise level;
engine's type.

Atlant is a trademark owned by a Belarusian company, LG is a South Korean brand.

If it is not important for you which country controls the production of equipment, then you should conduct an analysis according to the criteria described above. So, let's begin.

Price plays an important role when choosing. The cost of LG machines is fixed at approximately $200 or more.Atlant washing machines win in this regard - for $130-140 you can choose a decent unit that combines all the necessary functions. So, if LG devices are cheaper than $220, there are only about 5, then for the same money you can find about 30 models of ATLANT machines.
Drum capacity. An important parameter to look at when choosing. For a family of two or three people, a machine with a maximum load of up to 5 kg of dry laundry is suitable. Large families are already choosing a machine that can hold at least 6-7 kg of clothes per wash. Today you can buy “Atlantas” with a maximum capacity of up to 7 kg of laundry; ElG washing machines clearly win here; the brand produces machines that allow you to wash 12 kg of clothes at a time.
The efficiency of equipment in terms of electricity consumption is also a significant indicator. The higher the energy consumption class, the fewer kilowatts the washing machine will produce per wash. The vast majority of LG models are rated “A+” and “A++”. Atlant washing machines are mainly characterized by class “A”, in rare cases “A+”.
SMA water consumption is a fairly important parameter. Utility tariffs are rising, which means it is better to minimize water consumption. From this point of view, Atlanta is more economical than its Korean counterparts, but this difference is not very significant, only 2-3 liters per cycle.
Special cleaning programs. When studying washing machines within a set of modes, focus on your own preferences. For some, three pieces are enough: quick wash, “Cotton” and “Wool”. For others, programs for removing stains, washing shirts, children's clothes, sports items, etc. are important. On average, Atlant has 15-18 modes, LG has 13.
For many, silent operation of the SMA is important.Based on this indicator, we can say that ATLANT and LG washing machines are approximately equal. The former, on average, are “noisy” by 59/73 dB, the latter by 53/73 dB.
Direct drive machines are much more reliable than their belt driven “brothers”. The inverter engine does not have a belt or electric brushes, which often wear out and require replacement. Washing machines LGs in most cases are equipped with inverter engines, Atlantas, in turn, have brushed motors, and here, of course, they are much inferior to their Korean counterparts.

So, if you pay attention to the technical characteristics, LG automatic machines have the upper hand. If the deciding factor in the selection is the price of the model, then it is better to choose Atlant. You won’t be able to find a Korean washing machine for 13-14 thousand, but there are plenty of Belarusian models for that price.

What do users think?

If you have decided on some models from the first and second brands, then you should read real customer reviews about specific machines.

User opinions will help you not make mistakes and refrain from making a bad purchase.

I would like to share a review about the narrow washing machine LGF2H6HS0E. When moving to a new apartment, there was an urgent need to buy a washing machine. Our former “home assistant” had worked regularly for ten years, and now she could not wash the laundry properly. We surfed the Internet, visited hardware stores, and listened to the opinions of friends.

In the end, we decided to opt for a machine produced under the LG brand, although it was assembled in Russia. The manufacturer guaranteed at least a 10-year service life for the equipment, but we didn’t expect it to last that long; it served us for at least five years.

I really liked the design - a narrow, modern washing machine with touch controls. Exactly what we need, since the washing machine is in plain sight in our apartment. It’s a pleasure to operate the equipment – just a light press and everything starts. However, keep in mind that the touch display is incredibly sensitive and can be activated even by an accidental touch, so you should be careful in this regard. By the way, the manufacturer has provided for children to lock the touch buttons.

The washing machine’s drum is very spacious; up to 7 kg of laundry can be loaded at a time, and this despite the fact that the machine is narrow! Direct drive inverter motor. It is also possible to control the SMA remotely via a smartphone. And what is most important - the machine really provides high quality washing! Stains that the previous machine could not remove, this one removed in one cycle.

In general, I highlighted the following as advantages:

stylish design;
possibility of loading 7 kg of laundry;
steam processing function;
a large number of options and additions;
convenient touch control;
the ability to run processes remotely from a smartphone;
excellent washing quality;
low consumption of detergents.

There is only one serious drawback for me so far - it is too loud during the spin cycle. When running a test wash that lasted 4 hours, I couldn’t be happier with how quiet the equipment was. Literally until the spinning and draining of water from the tank began. The first time I was even scared, she began to growl so loudly during the process. So the machine washes well, but it can also “growl” during the spin cycle, take this into account. I am pleased with the new “home assistant”; I hope it will serve us for many years. reviews of LG and Atlant models

In my case, the cost of the washing machine had a huge influence on the selection. The budget was limited, so the choice fell on the affordable ATLANT 50U88 model. I have been using the machine since 2011, and my opinions about the washing machine are quite contradictory.

The build quality and materials used are decent, the rubber seals have not cracked during this time, the plastic has yellowed a little, but has not even cracked anywhere. On the other hand, over the years of use, the machine broke down. I had to change the sparkling engine. By the way, the engine, unlike other components, was made in Italy. Also, the SMA drains water very loudly. Sometimes the equipment cannot distribute things in the drum and simply refuses to squeeze them out.

If we talk about the advantages, it is a convenient size, protection against power surges, and price.

Belarusian SMAs are assembled from good materials, the quality of which has been tested over the years.

I do not recommend this particular model because of the noisy operation, problems with spinning, and a dubious engine. It is better to choose a more reliable option.
