Samsung washing machines
Who doesn’t know the brand of Samsung washing machines? This company is one of the three most famous on the Russian market. The Samsung washing machine differs from its competitors with innovative technologies, stylish design and a huge selection of models designed for different categories of the population. What is the reliability of such machines, what is their service life - we will try to answer these and other questions.
Brand history
The history of the Samsung company begins back in 1938, when the enterprising Korean Chull Lee founded Samsung Trading Co. in Daegu. At first, the company was engaged in the supply of rice and sugar, then money was invested in its own sugar production, as well as in the insurance business. During World War II, almost all production was destroyed, and the business had to be started anew.
In 1951, Chull Lee revived the company, which within a year achieved unprecedented success. During this time, the company had to engage in securities trading, radio broadcasting, and publishing business. Only in 1969 did the production of televisions under the Samsung brand begin. This gave impetus to the creation and development of the Samsung Electronics Co. industry.
In 1974, the first Samsung refrigerator and washing machine appeared.
In 1979, the production of microwave ovens began, and in 1983 - personal computers. In the 90s, digital TVs, mobile phones and smartphones appeared. Today, the company has a representative office in 60 countries. Washing machines are assembled in China, Korea, Thailand, and the USA. In Russia, the Samsung plant was opened in 2008 in the Kaluga region. Washing machines are assembled mainly from Chinese spare parts; only some components are produced directly at the factory.
Features of washing machines
Samsung engineers are trying to develop and implement the most advanced technologies in washing machines, which improve the quality of washing and reduce energy and water consumption. Here are some of these technologies that can be found in different washing machines of this brand.
- Eco Bubble technology, which means washing with air bubbles. Thanks to such bubbles introduced into the water, the powder dissolves better, the fabric fibers are not damaged, and things are rinsed better.
- Can Balance balancing technology, thanks to which there is no imbalance in the load of laundry in the drum. Special balls are built into the drum at the back and front, which, when rotated, move towards the lighter weight, thereby compensating for the uneven distribution of things.
- Diamond Honeycomb Drum. The inner surface of the drum resembles the facets of precious stones; the water inlet holes are several times smaller than in a conventional drum. This surface does not damage fabrics or shorten their service life, so you can wash even the most delicate items.
- The ceramic heater is another innovation from Samsung manufacturers, who say that such a heater is not susceptible to scale formation even in the hardest water, which ensures a long service life.
- The original Jod Dial switch, developed by Samsung, allows you to easily select the desired program by turning a single knob.
- Volt Control power control technology that protects the control module from power surges.
- VRT-M technology, which reduces vibration and noise.
As for the reliability and quality of washing machines of this brand, much depends on the assembly. The Korean assembly is an order of magnitude higher quality than the Russian one, but at the same time the cost of the Korean machine will be slightly higher. In general, the service life of the washing machine will depend on the quality of the components.
For your information! The manufacturer specifies a 10-year warranty on inverter motors in modern models. The warranty period for the machine itself can range from one to three years.
Not clear and washing machine reviews this brand. Some are satisfied with the quality of washing, spinning, and program “filling”. Others, on the contrary, write that during the short service life they had to repeatedly seek repairs.
