Samsung washing machines: TOP-5 of the best models, analysis of unique functions, brand reviews

Samsung is one of the world's largest manufacturers of a variety of home appliances. Samsung washing machines are equipped with proprietary technologies, have their pros and cons compared to competitors' models.

A wide range allows you to choose a technique that according to technical parameters and functionality meets the desires of the consumer. In this publication, we will talk about the technical features and unique functions of the brand’s washing machines, and also consider the rating of the best models on the market.

Main technical parameters

Models with horizontal loading of things have unified parameters of height (85 cm) and width (60 cm).

In depth, Samsung divides the car into two classes:

• narrow (45 cm);
• full-sized (55 or 60 cm).

More about the sizes of washers and other important parameters that influence the choice, we talked about this article.

The maximum mass of loaded things for narrow machines is from 6 to 8 kg, and for full-sized ones - from 9 to 12 kg. Devices with a drying function can wash up to 8 kg in one cycle, and dry up to 6 kg of things.

The models with horizontal loading for sale in Russia are assembled at various plants owned by the corporation:

• narrow washing machines are produced in Russia at a plant located in the Kaluga region;
• full-size deliver from China, Korea or Poland;
• devices with a drying function are produced in China.

Most components for washing machines are produced in China. Their quality is quite high, since the production facilities belong to Samsung, and the process itself is robotic. The same applies to the assembly - no claims to new devices in droves were recorded.

Samsung washing machines are quite popular in the CIS countries. The manufacturer is included in the top three most famous suppliers, the equipment is tested in practice

Samsung Corporation offers an extensive range of full-size and narrow washing machines, built-in and freestanding units, appliances with various functional capabilities.

Washing machines in the version that provides for the vertical loading of things are not produced at a factory in the Kaluga Region.

Delivery directly from abroad leads to an increase in the already high price due to customs duties. Therefore, Samsung does not sell them on the territory of the Russian Federation.

When calculating the free space into which the washing machine will be installed, it is necessary to take into account its protruding parts and the dimensions of the opening door

Modes of Operation and Functionality

Regardless of the degree of contamination and the origin of the stains, modern washing machines must thoroughly clean various types of fabric.

Samsung has developed many modes for its models, the study of which is necessary for effective washing. The devices are also equipped with functions that facilitate the consumer process control.

Standard washing cycles

Depending on the type of material, you can choose the appropriate washing cycle for it. They determine the operating procedure, which, according to the manufacturer, is optimal for such fabrics.

Manufacturers of clothes and linen place special characters on labels that can be used to determine the acceptable temperature, drum speed, and type of detergent

The following standard modes are present in modern Samsung washing machines:

• Cotton. It is used for cotton products, as well as towels, tablecloths, shirts and underwear. The washing time depends on the loading of the drum.
• Cotton (economical). It differs from the previous mode in lower power consumption due to lower actual water temperature.
• Synthetics. Used for washing shirts, shirts and blouses made of polyester, polyamide or other similar material.
• Wool. In this mode, it is recommended to load no more than 2-3 kg (depending on the type of machine) and use neutral detergents. The work is designed for careful handling of things to prevent their shrinkage and deformation.
• Linens. Applied for washing duvet covers and sheets.
• Kids' things. The mode is characterized by a high temperature of the water and a long rinse for reliable removal of detergent.
• Delicate fabrics. Used if necessary, to clean things from silk and other delicate fabrics, which are usually recommended for hand washing.
• Outerwear. Use for washing sports things from elastic materials such as spandex. There are restrictions on the volume of downloads.
• Dark things. The operating mode is characterized by additional rinsing and reduced spin time.
• Jeans. Apply when washing clothes made of denim. The mode provides an additional rinse.

If necessary, you can manually change basic parameters, such as water temperature, time of various stages or their intensity.

To sort laundry before washing, it is better to use special boxes. This will reduce the risk of accidentally mixing things with different types of fabric.

Special and advanced modes

Samsung washing machine models have special modes that supplement the basic cycles that are designed to remove specific types of contaminants:

• active sport - earth, grass, sweat and cosmetics;
• hygiene - sebum and blood;
• kitchen and dining room - food stains;
• casual wear - any types of spots with little pollution;
• moving children - food, dirt, ink and other persistent pollutants;
• gardening - grass, dirt, sweat and sebum.

Enable option prewash allows you to carry out a separate short cycle before turning on the main program.

Another option is intensive soaking. For 30 minutes, things are soaked in an aqueous medium using aeration, which improves the penetration of detergent into the contaminated fabric. This feature is not available for all standard modes.

Mode accelerated washing allows for 1 hour to remove everyday items such as underwear and shirts. Option quick wash allows you to clean lightly soiled clothes in 15 or 30 minutes, provided that they are small.

When you turn on the quick wash mode, you can independently adjust the water temperature, the number of rinses and the speed of the drum during the spin cycle

There is a way to separately execute rinsing and spinby turning on the mode of the same name. Often it is used as an addition to the main cycle when using fabric softener.

It is possible to change the number of rinse procedures for the current cycle. You can also turn off the spin, which is justified when washing things from lightly damaged fabrics.

When using the option easy ironing spin speed decreases automatically. This ensures that the laundry does not crumple. However, at the end of the wash cycle, it remains wet.

In the Samung product line, there are models with automatic drum cleaning, the essence of which is to conduct a normal cycle, but at high temperature and without laundry

After the number of cycles set by the manufacturer (for most Samsung models, the value is 40), the indicator lights up Eco drum cleaning.

This means that with a separate cycle, it is necessary to disinfect the drum and remove any residual detergent from it. To do this, run this mode in the absence of things in the tank.

Cleaning occurs due to hot water and high revolutions. The manufacturer does not recommend the use of detergents and disinfectants due to a possible decrease in the quality of further work.

Unique technology from Samsung

Addwash - Samsung's exclusive technology that allows you to add things after starting the process. To do this, you need to pause the washing machine and load a small amount of material through a separate hatch in the door.

This makes it possible to wash forgotten things in the general cycle or add them only for rinsing and spinning. Also, this technology allows you to pour air conditioning directly into the drum.

To add a large volume through an additional door will not work. This is done intentionally, as otherwise the quality of washing already loaded things will suffer.

Option to turn on the foam generator with a patented name Eco bubble promotes penetration of washing powder into the structure of any fabric.

Allows you to wash clothes in high quality under conditions with low water temperatures, which are used to save electricity and prevent shrinkage of the material.

A device that provides the production of active bubbles, provides a flawless cleaning of contaminants of any degree of complexity, is used to tidy things from any kind of tissue

The washing machine can be connected via wi-fi to the installed program Samsung Smart Home.

After registering the device, using a computer, laptop or smartphone, you can access its functionality. This is convenient when exploring the capabilities of the appliance or, for example, when remotely starting a wash cycle.

You can also set up process status alerts. This allows, if necessary, additional loading of linen not to miss the moment of the beginning of rinsing or spinning.

For modern models, the use of technology is possible Smart check, which will help to identify the problem of the washing machine.

To do this, you need to download the program to your mobile device Samsung Smart Washer, point the smartphone camera at the panel and get all the information about the malfunction.

To read the error code, the smartphone camera must be directed to the control panel screen. If due to the presence of glare, reading is not possible, then turn off the light in the room

Power Monitoring Technology Volt control tested by Samsung on many types of household appliances. It allows the devices to operate at a voltage of 165 to 275 volts.

When the current readings go out of range, the power is blocked, which significantly reduces the risk of electronics failure.

After stabilizing the voltage, the operation of the washing machine resumes from the stage of the cycle during which the failure occurred.

If you regularly experience power outages, we recommend that you look Voltage regulator.

When power surges in the power supply, the unit independently stops working, after the standard parameters of the current are stabilized, the machine resumes normal operation

At high revolutions as a result of centrifugal force, water is removed through the holes of the drum. If the laundry closes the hole, the fabric pulls a little into it. Therefore, the effect of “zashivaniya” and the formation of spools on the fabric of wool or cotton.

Drum Diamond drum has a smoothed embossed surface, on the tops of which there are holes for drainage. Specification Diamond Drum + they are located on the recessed part.

Due to the uneven surface, the laundry does not predominantly block the openings; therefore, their diameter was made much smaller than that of “smooth” drums. This results in less tissue damage during the spin cycle.

For the latest models, the drum is made according to technology Swirl drum which functionally fully repeats the Diamond Drum, slightly differing only in the design.

Drums made according to the “Diamond Drum” technology have a tetrahedral rather than hexahedral structure, like the classic “honeycomb” surfaces of other manufacturers. However, this does not affect the quality of their work.

Constructive solutions and useful functions

Drum balancing technology Can balance It functions by moving goods to the side with a smaller mass fraction of laundry. It works due to built-in sensors that respond to the emerging imbalance.

Ceramic TEN practically does not contribute to the formation of scale, which is a common problem of its metal analogues.

This significantly increases the energy savings when heating water, and also eliminates the need for periodic maintenance of the heater, which is a very time-consuming job.

A number of Samsung washing machine models are equipped with a vibration protection system, which is almost not felt even at high spin speed. The absence of vibration significantly extends the operational life of the unit

Vibration prevention technology VRT +. There is a distribution of things on the surface of the drum, which allows you to normalize the load at high speeds in spin mode.

Protection Aqua stop interrupts the water supply in case of leakage as a result of depressurization of one of the nodes.

There are two types of protection:

• Incomplete. When the hose breaks (the most likely cause of leakage), the material near the feed tap expands and shuts off the water supply.
• Complete. Additionally, several digital sensors are installed at the bottom of the washing machine. When they respond, the water supply is automatically shut off.

All models feature castle from children. When it is activated, all buttons are blocked, except for those that participate in the combination to start this function, as well as the power on and off relay.

To activate the “child lock” function, when the machine is turned on and the hatch door is closed, hold down two buttons for 3 seconds, which are located to the left and right of the sign

Function deferral of time allows you to calculate the start of the start of the cycle in such a way as to finish it by a user-specified time. This is convenient in the absence of the owners of the house - this is done so that wet items do not lie for a long time in the washing machine before they arrive.

Pros and cons against the background of competitors

The production of parts and assembly of household appliances in each large company is put on stream and occurs according to the same type of algorithm. Therefore, all models of washing machines from Samsung have common differences from analogues of competing firms.

The positive aspects of washing machines

Samsung Group has its own facilities for the production of high-tech components. Therefore, the quality of the electronic filling of their household appliances is at a high level.

Common control board problems such as aging capacitors or baiting conductors and breaking open circuits are much less common than competitors.

The vast experience in the production of video devices, laptops, printers and mobile phones has allowed us to create an intuitive interface for washing machines.

Despite the abundance of programs, additional modes and technological solutions, understanding the device’s functionality is quite easy.

The control panels of Samsung washing machines are quite informative and intuitive, regardless of the class and cost of the machine

Management via the touch screen is a light touch of the fingers. And to start the washing process, it is necessary to press the button accentuated for 2-3 seconds. This simplest solution eliminates the accidental start of the machine when the program is not fully tuned.

The maximum speed of the drum during the spin cycle for narrow machines is 1000-1200 rpm, and for full-size ones - 1400-1600. This allows you to remove moisture well from washed items.

If it is necessary to wash clothes from easily damaged fabrics, the speed can be reduced by the user to 400 rpm, or this step can be completely canceled.

Samsung technology has a fairly large tank volume, especially for full-size models: the maximum dry laundry weight that can be placed for washing is 12 kg. Convenience of loading and unloading is ensured by the large diameter of the door

In earlier models, the effect of strong vibration was observed. However, with the introduction of Can Balance and VRT + technologies, Samsung devices began to show almost exemplary stability even when operating at maximum speeds in spin mode.

Negative points and flaws

One of the main complaints about Samsung machines is the increased noise level, especially during the spin phase.

Reasoning about the “ultra-quiet motor” remains a marketing ploy, as the main buzz comes from the drum. However, it should be noted that this sound is uniform.

With the presence of young children in the house, he does not interfere with their sleep. A more significant problem may be sound signals about the end of work cycles, which, however, can be turned off.

The technical manual indicates the sound power level in decibels that the washing machine emits when operating in different modes. Trust these values, not reassurances of silence on the brochures.

Quite often there is a problem associated with leaking hopper and damage to the drain system. Repairing this malfunction is difficult enough if the cause is not a small object (for example, buttons) getting into the drain system or pipe.

Overall, Samsung's units are pretty easy to repair in case of malfunction - almost all washers output error codes on the scoreboard, by which, then, you can determine the malfunction.

In terms of energy efficiency, some models with drying are classified as class “B”.This is not a very big minus for Russia, since the cost of electricity is much lower than in Korea.

The price of models produced at a plant in the Kaluga Region is comparable to competitive models. But the cost of full-size models from Samsung is slightly higher than that of other manufacturers who assemble similar devices in Russia.

The cost of the washing machine depends on the capacity of the washing tank, a set of functions, the degree of protection of the unit. A considerable share of the price is made up of customs duties and transportation costs of equipment delivered from abroad. Therefore, Kaluga-made products are much cheaper

Popular models in the Russian market

Samsung washer rating was evaluated according to its representation in large stores selling household appliances and subject to an average rating from users.

The ranking is based on a study of consumer preferences and the opinions of owners of washing equipment of the specified brand.
