Which washing machine is better: Candy or Samsung?

Modern home appliance stores offer a wide range of washing machine models from various manufacturers, both popular and lesser-known. Before making a purchase, consumers are spoiled for choice, as choosing a truly reliable option that meets all their needs from the vast selection of brands can be challenging.

Good functionality, an affordable price, high-quality washing, reliable components and assembly, and low noise levels are just a few of the characteristics an "ideal" washing machine should have. Let's figure out which to choose, Candy or Samsung, and explore the advantages and disadvantages of both manufacturers.

Which cars are easier to repair?

Build quality, durability, and component strength are the most important factors to consider. No one wants to buy a household appliance and then part with it because it breaks a few years later. Even budget models should last at least seven years.

A washing machine should be easy to repair. First, it's important that parts are easily available, affordable, and accessible when needed. Second, it's important to choose the most easily repairable models, and in this case, Samsung offers the greatest advantage. Let's explore why.

Most often, with heavy use of a washing machine, the bearings and seals are the first to require replacement. This is due to the low quality of these components across all manufacturers. Additionally, the drum spider may need repair, which requires disassembling the drum.

The drum of Candy washing machines is non-removable, so replacing the bearings and seal yourself is not possible. Most Samsung machines have a removable drum. The exceptions are the most affordable models and older models.

Domestic craftsmen have learned to cut apart Candy tanks for repairs and replacement, and then reconnect the separated sections. Such repairs require significant labor, so they can be quite expensive for the owner.

To check whether the washing machine's drum can be disassembled, remove the top cover. To do this, unscrew the screws holding it in place. If the drum can be disassembled, the fasteners holding the two halves together will be visible on its surface. These steps will help you estimate the cost of future repairs if the machine breaks down, and which washing machine is best in terms of efficiency and practicality.

Which equipment is cheaper?

For many consumers, cost is the deciding factor when choosing a multifunctional automatic washing machine. Candy washing machines are significantly less expensive than their counterparts. Many models are available in stores for under $200. Candy top-loading machines are also available, though they are slightly more expensive, but the final price won't exceed $240.

Here are some examples of Candy washing machine models with prices:

• CS4 1051D1/2 – $125;
• GVS34 126TC2/2 – $156;
• Aqua 135 D2 – $149;
• CSS34 1062D1 – $143.

Important! Most Candy devices are in the $100–$200 price range, making them very popular.

Samsung washing machines are much more expensive. The price range is so wide that buyers can find a model for $200 or over $1,000. Let's look at a few models to see how much they differ in price:

• WF8590NLW9 – $190;
• WW65K42E08W – $260;
• WW65K42E00W – $280;
• WD80K52E0ZX – $570;
• WW10M86KNOA – $1100.

If affordability is the primary criterion when purchasing a washing machine, it's best to choose a Candy model. If technical features, durability, and additional options are important to the future owner, a Samsung machine is the best option. This manufacturer also offers budget-friendly models with high build quality.

Application of advanced developments

Buyers often pay attention to the technological advancements of their washing machines. Samsung devices are several steps ahead of Candy in this regard. The manufacturer uses the latest technologies and developments, keeping up with the times. Candy machines are mostly simple and straightforward, lacking a multitude of additional features; they simply wash and spin clothes efficiently.

Samsung appliances feature a direct drive and an additional door for loading laundry. Candy washing machines lack these features. Belt drives are long outdated compared to direct drive units. Samsung's advanced technology allows for a variety of drum rotation modes and wash cycles.

Candy machines have a brushed motor, while Samsung uses an inverter motor, allowing the drum to spin up to 2,000 rpm. This is another argument in favor of Samsung machines. Candy has a nondescript design; it's a standard machine that performs its basic functions well. Samsung is an attractive machine with a unique appearance, state-of-the-art software, user-friendly controls, and an electronic display.
