Which washing machine is better, Haier or Samsung?

When choosing a new washing machine, many people consider models from well-known and reliable manufacturers. Samsung and Haier appliances are quite popular, and sometimes buyers are simply torn between these brands. Let's figure out which automatic machine, Haier or Samsung, is better? Which one wins and why?

Which washing machines performed better: Haier or Samsung?

Of course, you shouldn't rely solely on the brand of the washing machine when choosing equipment.It's always important to look at the model's key features, such as drum capacity, feature set, number of wash cycles, spin speed, energy consumption, etc. Before purchasing the equipment, it is also advisable to read user reviews to identify all the advantages and disadvantages of the machine.

Haier washing machines are produced by a Chinese manufacturer. Among the advantages of this brand's appliances, users highlight:

• Economical consumption of resources – Haier machines use a minimum of water and kilowatts, which helps you pay less for housing and utilities;
• compact body dimensions with sufficient drum capacity;
• intuitive controls;
• Multifunctionality – the cheapest models have various options and additions stored in their memory that improve the quality of washing;
• a wide range of models – you can choose a machine gun of the required dimensions, from super-narrow to full-size;
• stylish design.

Automatic washing machines from the South Korean manufacturer have been on the market longer than Haier equipment. Over several decades, Samsung appliances have earned the absolute trust of users. People are even willing to "pay extra for the brand name" just to get the most reliable machine.

If we talk about Samsung machines, there are also quite a few advantages:

• high technology equipment;
• Diamond brand honeycomb drum, providing excellent washing quality and gentle treatment of laundry;
• variety of models in the line;
• economy;
• high quality of assembly and components;
• The presence of a power supply monitoring system. All models are protected from power surges.

Equipment of any brand may fail over time. When choosing a washing machine, it is worth paying attention to its repairability. Finding parts for both Haier and Samsung automatic washing machines is fairly easy; service center specialists are familiar with both brands. The cost of parts is roughly the same, so it's difficult to single out a clear winner.

Analyzing the energy efficiency ratings of washing machines, we can conclude that most Samsung models have an energy efficiency rating of "A" or "A+," while Haier models have an "A++" or "A+++." This score is a point in the Chinese brand's favor. If you value an inverter motor, both Haier and Samsung models offer such models.

When choosing between Haier and Samsung, pay attention to the characteristics of individual models, as well as user reviews.

For example, let's compare two similarly priced models. This will help us understand the differences between the machines. Let's look at the Haier HW60-BP12959A ($300–$360) and the Samsung WW65K42E08W ($310–$350).

The machine from the South Korean brand has the following technical characteristics:

• capacity up to 6.5 kg;
• energy efficiency class – “A”;
• water consumption per cycle – 39 l;
• maximum spin – 1200 rpm;
• 12 washing programs;
• noise level – up to 73 dB.

Among the unique technologies of the Samsung WW65K42E08W automatic washing machine is the EcoBubble feature. The bubble effect achieves maximum washing results and saves detergent. A special device generates air bubbles that penetrate the fabric fibers, removing dirt.

AddWash technology allows you to load items into the Samsung WW65K42E08W drum after the wash cycle has started, using a special loading hatch. Another advantage of this model is its signature Diamond drum and ceramic heater.

The Haier HW60-BP12959A washing machine has the following characteristics:

• loading capacity – up to 6 kg;
• energy efficiency class – “A+++”;
• spin – up to 1200 rpm;
• 12 washing modes;
• noise level – up to 70 dB.

Both models are equipped with an inverter motor. However, if we're looking at technology alone, the Samsung washing machine wins in this case. The South Korean brand's washing machine is more functional, so it's the better choice.

Which models of cars are more expensive?

When choosing a washing machine, for many people, the deciding factor is the price. But even here, Haier and Samsung devices compete side by side, with only a slight price difference. Let's explore the savings you can achieve by choosing one brand over the other.

If you look at the most budget-friendly models, you can buy a Haier machine for $190, and a Samsung machine with similar characteristics for $205.

If you compare models in the mid-price segment, you can see that the cost of similar machines is approximately the same. The price difference between Haier and Samsung is approximately 5-8%. However, even if Samsung washing machines are more expensive, they can offer users more advanced features, such as a reload option or bubble wash. Comparing the $490 Samsung WW70R62LATX to the $500 Haier HW100-BP14758, the Chinese model has a larger capacity – 10 kg versus the Samsung's seven. The Haier also has a higher energy efficiency rating – A+++.

The maximum spin speed of the Samsung WW70R62LATX is 1200 rpm, while the Haier HW100-BP14758 has a maximum spin speed of 1400 rpm. Both models are equipped with a direct-drive inverter motor. However, the South Korean machine has a reload function and a bubble wash. These technologies may be decisive for some when choosing a machine.

Therefore, there's no significant price difference between Haier and Samsung washing machines. The models are roughly the same price, and each offers advantages in some areas. It's important to consider what's more important to you: a large capacity and powerful spin, or the ability to add items to the drum after the cycle has started.

   Sergey:

   It's important for me to throw things in after the wash has started, because something always floats up, and the machine has already started.
