If you are in search of a new washer
and dryer you will probably look at a couple of different appliance brands
before making a purchase. There is a lot of new technology innovations in
laundry than you may realize. If you are in search of an appliance that has
great technology and is stylish you will probably be wanting to look at LG and
Samsung.
LG and Samsung are both Korean
manufacturers that blasted into the appliance industry during the last decade. They
both show no signs of slowing down. LG hit the market hard about 15 years ago
and Samsung about 10. Both companies are known for their innovation, style,
features, and technological advances.
Both companies are always rated highly
in leading consumer publications. The LG brand attempts to be the leader in
home appliance innovation. Samsung also
strives to become number one in the home appliance industry. Seeing that
they have similar goals and are great rivals, makes it exciting for consumers
to find the best machine. You know that no matter which company you choose, you
know that you are going to get amazing technology and features like smart
appliances or other advanced features.
The two companies both have very similar
machines and branding strategies. The two companies were initially in
high-volume stores, but switched to being independent stores which creates an even more competitive pricing
advantage for customers. Most companies
will first sell to independent retailers and then when they have processes and
systems sell to larger retailers to support the volume.
A buying tip is to purchase during
promotional times like holidays will save you 10% to 20% or even more.
We like both brands for different
reasons. They both have similar cubic feet and interesting features. Their large
capacity, over 5.0 is very impressive in both brands and often rate very well
in consumer magazines. Because of the large capacity it is crucial to do site
checks in your own home before delivery to see if they would fit in your
basement or laundry room. They both have great advanced features like
anti-vibration systems or sensor drying technology. Both brands are making
their machines connected appliances meaning that you can control them directly
with your smart phone to save consumers time and money.
There are some features and options
than you will probably rarely use, but can be very convenient when washing
delicate clothing. It's hard to believe where the technology has gone to with
how specific each cycle can be.
Some time ago, LG used to be one of
the statistically worst appliances to buy, but in the last decade they have
vastly improved. Samsung has always been a great trusted brand. Unfortunately,
they recently had a large recall, but have taken precautions to improve their production
for the future. Both companies have received a lot of feedback about difficulty
in getting parts in a timely manner. LG pays the lowest labor rates in the
industry. Many service companies don’t want to fix these machines in warranty and
risk a huge loss.
Now that you know a little more about
both LG and Samsung. It's time to compare some of their models. Here are a couple
of options to choose from:
