In this video,
you'll learn the core differences between LG and
Samsung front load washers with three of their most popular
model comparisons. However, in the end,
you'll also learn about reliability based on over three
hundred and fifty thousand real service calls completed over a
ten year period by our service team. That's right. Ten years
of real service data.
This is a basic comparison of their two least expensive
machines at about $699.
And it's the only comparison where the cubic footage is the
same at 4.5 cubic feet. Cycles are similar,
although Samsung,
technically has more at ten versus eight for LG,
but Samsung also has steam functionality to power out
tough stains. LG is shallower by a little over an inch, which could be
important when stacking it 30 1/4 versus
31.38 inches for the Samsung.
LG also spins faster at 1,300 versus 1,200
RPM. So clothes will be drier for less drying time.
This comparison is so similar.
It should depend on price and more importantly,
which machine could be fixed quicker in your area plus
reliability, which you'll learn later in this video.
The WM4000 and the WF50BG8300
is the most popular single comparison between LG
and Samsung at $899. Both have upgraded features.
LG is turbo wash shortening any cycle by adding five high
pressure sprays in the front while Samsung has super speed
shortening their cycles twenty eight minutes with one high
pressure spray. However,
the comparable Samsung is 0.5 cubic foot larger at 5 cubic feet
also have to remember it's also 3.25 inches
deeper for stacking.
They both have smart functionality telling you cycle
time and alerting you when the cycle is over and many advanced
cycles like sanitized for whites and allergens for pets
and allergies. LG has twelve cycles and thirteen options.
Samsung literally has every cycle manageable at twenty
three. Triple Wash should be a bit better than Samsung's Super
Speed Wash with five high pressure nozzles versus one for faster wash,
LG spin is also still faster at 1,300 versus 1,200 for the Samsung.
However,
Samsung also has clean garden anti microbial technology to
prevent mold in their gaskets.
Samsung's a bit bigger with more features,
while LG will fit better, when stacking,
and we'll be better in a few cycles.
And that's true of most of these comparisons,
except Samsung is missing a few key features.
Samsung bespoke
in the LG MH6700, literally a an
infinite amount of cycles with their AI smart dial at
$1,099. It will simplify learn and recommend cycles,
allowing you to customize any cycles well.
Wanna wash favorite shirt for a certain period of time with a
different temperature and certain spin.
You can do that with either.
They also have both auto dispense,
or Samsung is thirty two while LG is eighteen. Auto dispensers
are aworthwhile feature.
Most people put too much detergent in their front load,
thinking it's a top load.
That excess detergent stays in the machine for an expensive future
service call. An auto dispenser, however,
adds the right amount of detergent at the right time.
Samsung is still a bit larger at five point three.
Versus five cubic feet for the LG has the antimicrobial and a
larger dispenser versus the shallower and better spin of the LG.
Looks like Samsung has the advantage in size and features.
But wait, there's more.
Where LG has the real advantage is in two key places. First,
the watch tower is a one piece set of laundry using their advanced
AIDD or Direct Drive using 11,000 data points to
wash your clothes thoroughly based on the weight and
softness of the clothes.
Wash hour also has control panel in the middle,
so you're not reaching, controlling both washer and Brian.
Now Samsung has multi control on certain models with smart
functionality, where where you can control both from the wash,
but it's not like the same.
WashTower is also inexpensive for the feature starting at
$1,599 and $1,999 and I'm for both washer and dryer.
There's a popular YouTuber who owns enough a used appliance
store that says Samsung washers are doomed because of this
spider bracket. So we've pulled ten years of service data.
From 2012 to 2021,
we sold 2,264 Samsung washers.
Samsung washer transmission fails with twelve. Now a transmission
job or a tub fill could be a number of parts,
but at 0.5%, it's not statistically significant,
whether it's a spider bracket or something else. But LG was
way better with 13,708
units only five requiring a new transmission or 0.04%
That's unbelievable.
And although both have excellent first year service
percentage, LG seems to be a bit more reliable over time.
So the numbers prove otherwise. Sorry, Ben.
I still like your videos.
However,
where Ben and most of the other YouTubers get it right as both
companies have problems if you need repair.
So always advise to check service before you buy.
And that will be as important as a reliability percentage.
