Samsung washing machines

Who doesn't know the Samsung washing machine brand? This company is one of the top three most well-known in the Russian market. Samsung washing machines stand out from their competitors with innovative technologies, stylish design, and a wide selection of models designed for a variety of demographics. We'll answer these and other questions about the reliability and lifespan of these machines.

Brand history

The history of the Samsung company begins back in 1938, when an enterprising Korean, Chull Lee, founded the Samsung Trading Co. in the city of Daegu. Initially, the company was engaged in the supply of rice and sugar, then money was invested in its own sugar production, as well as an 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 achieved unprecedented success within a year. During this time, the company had diversified into securities trading, radio broadcasting, and publishing. It wasn't until 1969 that production of Samsung-branded televisions began, sparking the creation and development of Samsung Electronics Co.

In 1974, the first Samsung refrigerator and washing machine appeared.

In 1979, production of microwave ovens began, followed by personal computers in 1983. In the 1990s, digital televisions, mobile phones, and smartphones appeared. Today, the company has offices 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 parts; only a few components are manufactured directly at the factory.

Features of washing machines

Samsung engineers strive to develop and implement the most advanced technologies in washing machines, improving wash quality and reducing energy and water consumption. Here are some of these technologies found in various Samsung washing machines.

• Eco Bubble technology, which means washing with air bubbles. Thanks to these bubbles, which are introduced into the water, the powder dissolves better, the fabric fibers are not damaged, and the items are rinsed better.
• Can Balance technology prevents uneven loads in the drum. Special balls are built into the drum at the front and back, which rotate toward the lighter load side, thus compensating for uneven loads.
• Diamond honeycomb drum. The drum's interior surface resembles the facets of precious stones, with water inlet holes several times smaller than those in a standard drum. This surface doesn't damage fabrics or shorten their lifespan, so even the most delicate items can be washed.
• The ceramic heater is another innovation from Samsung, which claims it is resistant to scale buildup even in the hardest water, ensuring a long service life.
• The original Samsung Jod Dial switch allows you to easily select the desired program with the turn of a single dial.
• Volt Control power supply technology protects the control module from voltage 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. Korean assembly is an order of magnitude better than Russian assembly, but the cost of a Korean car will also be slightly higher. In general, the service life of a washing machine will depend on the quality of its components.

Please note! The manufacturer specifies a 10-year warranty for inverter motors in modern models. The warranty period for the machine itself can range from one to three years.
