In our article we will tell you about the features of such machines, give a description of the best models, advice on choosing and get acquainted with customer reviews of this modern washing equipment.

The country of origin of Samsung brand washing machines is South Korea. This brand belongs to the largest international corporation Samsung Electronics, engaged in the production of electronics and household appliances.widely known all over the world. In the early eighties of the last century, the line of Samsung washing machines began to conquer the European market, and these devices appeared on the Russian market only by the beginning of this millennium.

Currently, this legendary corporation has its subsidiaries in 60 countries of the world; Samsung brand washing machines are assembled not only in Korea, but also in China, Thailand, Poland, Russia, the USA and some others. The company's management invariably cares about its customers, therefore, it guarantees high quality products regardless of the country that produces the entire range of Samsung washing machines.

The following features of this household appliance should be noted, which distinguish it from similar units from other companies:

• intuitive interface: despite the variety of functions, washing modes and various additional features, it is very easy and simple to understand the control of such a washing machine, focusing on the pointers on its front panel;
• wide assortment: Samsung produces a variety of models that differ both in their dimensions and in built-in functionality, which allows consumers to choose a washing machine depending on their needs and capabilities;
• reliability: thanks to an innovative approach to the development of basic structural elements, such as a ceramic electric heater, these washing machines very rarely fail;
• inverter motors: modern models of Samsung washing machines are equipped with special motors that can significantly reduce the noise level during their operation, as well as reduce power consumption, which is an important factor when choosing these household appliances; in addition, due to the design features, such engines practically do not fail, therefore the company provides a ten-year warranty on them.

It is necessary to consider in more detail the use of innovative technologies implemented in the programs of this miracle technology, namely:

• Volt Control technology allows you to prevent damage to the unit due to voltage drops in the power supply;
• Eco Bubble technology allows you to improve the quality of washing due to the created air bubbles, splitting the smallest particles of washing powder and creating a foamy soap solution that deeply penetrates between the fibers of the fabric;
• special drum design with Diamond technology - the structure of the drum surface resembles diamond crystals with a smoothed relief, which reduces the wear of the fabric when washing the laundry; and also this trademark produces models of washing machines with Swirl Drum and Q-Drum drums, performing the same functions as the described Diamond technology, but differing in their shape; Q-Drum technology also allows you to shorten the washing time;
• Can Balance technology - drum balancing technology - moves special weights in the form of balls to the part of the drum where less laundry is fixed, thus reducing the vibration of the machine during washing;
• Quick Drive technology cuts the washing time of linen by half, without losing the quality of releasing the fabric from dirt;
• Add Wash function makes it possible to reload forgotten laundry already during washing, as well as add conditioner directly to the drum of the machine through a special additional hatch.

Samsung washing machines are classified according to several criteria. The first is the type of download. Here, devices with two types of loading laundry are distinguished.

• Vertical loading method assumes the location of the hatch in the upper panel of the machine, which allows you to put the laundry inside the drum without bending over. These types of machines are ideal for older people as well as those with spinal problems. Since the presence of a hatch at the top of the top-loading washing machine makes it possible to save space in the room, such models are considered more compact.

• Front-loading washing machines are versatile devices in great demand. Their design makes it possible to classify such machines as built-in appliances due to the loading hatch opening forward, as well as the presence of a removable cover on some models. Also, this type of Samsung home appliance offers a larger drum size, which is ideal for families with children.

All Samsung front-loading washing machines are 85 cm high and 60 cm wide. Depending on the size of the depth, such machines are classified into the following models:

• narrow - with a depth of 45 cm;
• full-sized - with a depth of 55-60 cm.

An important parameter of automatic washing machines is the maximum weight of the laundry when it is loaded into the drum. So, for narrow Samsung washing machines, this parameter varies within 6-8 kg, and for full-size washing machines - 9-12 kg. Among the wide range of Samsung washing equipment, there are machines whose operation scheme provides for the function of drying clothes. Such machines wash up to 8 kg in a full cycle, and dry up to 6 kg of laundry.

The set of built-in functions that a particular unit has, primarily depends on which series of Samsung washing machines it belongs to. Let's take a look at the main characteristics inherent in such series.

• WD - the main advantage of the models of this line is the function of drying clothes. An electric heating element behind the drum heats the air and effectively removes excess moisture from the laundry.

• Wf - models belonging to this series are equipped with a ceramic heating device that protects the washing machine from damage due to scale formation, which significantly extends the service life. The highlight of this range is the unique Diamond Drum with a special relief surface consisting of shallow recesses and creating a layer of water between the laundry and the drum walls. Thanks to this design, even the thinnest fabrics are not injured even with an intensive wash cycle.

• Ww - the difference between this model range is the low noise level during the operation of this washing equipment. Thanks to the direct drive Digital Inverter motor, the vibration of the machine when washing the laundry is reduced, the power consumption is reduced, and the durability of such mechanisms is increased. No wonder the corporation issues a ten-year warranty for its inverter motors installed on Samsung washing machines.

• Bio Compact - this line of Samsung brand washing machines has already been discontinued, but lovers of inexpensive, but still quite reliable units may well find these models on message boards selling used household appliances. The functionality of this lineup consists of only four programs, so such machines are ideal for single people, students and in general for those who just need to wash and wring out their clothes without unnecessary hassle.

Below is a ranking of the best budget models of Samsung washing machines, able to delight consumers with their reliability and excellent functionality for many years.

• Samsung WF60F1R2E2WD - despite the low price, this model has a high energy efficiency class, as well as washing and spinning classes - A ++, A and B, respectively. The white body and black sunroof, together with other elements, give this brand of washing machines elegance. The arsenal of the model includes such useful functions as quick and preliminary washing of clothes, special modes for the care of children's, outerwear and sportswear, the ability to set the start and end times of the washing process, as well as protection against leaks.

• Samsung WF8590NLW9 - a built-in model of washing appliances with a removable lid with slightly less attractive economy parameters, but with an even more attractive price when compared with the previous model. It pleases with the presence of a Diamond Drum and a ceramic electric heater, which are also typical for the Samsung WF60F1R2E2WD model. The disadvantages of these machines include such characteristics as a slightly curtailed functionality, as well as insufficient spin efficiency at a drum rotation speed of up to 1000 rpm.

• Samsung WW65K42E08W - a model with a function of additional loading of laundry and good parameters characterizing the classes of washing, spinning and energy consumption - A, B and A. There are 12 programs for washing clothes and the ability to expand the list by installing new programs on your washing equipment using a smartphone and a special application. The advantages of such machines include control via a smartphone, a timer for delaying the start of washing, a good spin of the laundry and a low noise level during the operation of these units.

• Samsung WW65K52E69S - unlike previous models, the energy consumption class here meets the highest requirements and is designated by the A +++ symbol. This means that by purchasing this model, you will significantly save your budget by paying for electricity. Touch control, the ability to issue various commands via a smartphone, wide functionality and stylish design make this model one of the most advanced and demanded. However, such machines also have disadvantages, namely: a rather noisy set and release of water, as well as the lack of the ability to block the inclusion.

• Samsung WD80K5410OW - the model with the function of drying clothes, which is also the most dimensional - its depth reaches 60 cm.These washing machines are distinguished by impressive functionality: three modes of drying clothes, the ability to add loads during washing, support for control using mobile devices, protection against leaks, Eco function off-line drum cleaning Diamond Drum. The highlight of this model is the special Air Wash function, in which hot air ideally cleanses and disinfects your things, as well as removes stubborn odors. This option works without water or detergents. And the bubble soak function makes it possible to effectively remove the most stubborn dirt and stains on your laundry.

• Samsung WD806U2GAGD - this model will delight consumers with its modest size and at the same time a very voluminous drum, which makes it possible to wash up to 8 kg of laundry in one cycle. Ten different programs, bubble wash, the ability to diagnose unit operation errors using the Smart Check mobile application, a delay start function, a silent inverter motor - this is an incomplete list of the model's advantages.

In order not to be mistaken and to choose the right washing machine that will meet all your needs, there are several parameters to pay attention to.

• Dimensions. If you want your washing machine to fit perfectly into the interior of the bathroom, hide in the closet in the hallway, or serve as an extension of the work surface in the kitchen, you should carefully determine its size. Whether it will be a narrow model with parameters 85x60x40 cm, an ultra narrow model with parameters 85x60x35 cm or a full-size 85x60x60 cm - you decide.
• Maximum drum loading. Here you can choose from four types of washing machine: with a standard load of laundry up to 7 kg, with a large load up to 12 kg, built-in appliances with a load of up to 6 kg and a narrow washing machine with a maximum drum load of 4 to 6 kg. If you have a large family, the best option would be to buy a washing machine that can handle a large amount of laundry, and vice versa, if no more than three people live in the house, there is no need to burden yourself with large-volume washing equipment.
• The number of programs, washing modes and additional options. The price of a washing machine directly depends on this quantity, so it is important to accurately weigh your needs before buying. If you do not plan to use all the capabilities of this smart technology to the fullest, it is hardly worth giving preference to the multifunctional option with the ability to control such a device using a smartphone - you may not need it, and the price for such a unit will be significantly higher.
• Energy class. The most economical washing machines have class A +++, devices not lower than the energy consumption class indicated by the symbol B would also be a good option.
• Spin class. 1200 rpm is enough drum rotation speed so that you can get almost dry laundry out of the machine. Those washing devices that have maximum rotation parameters consume much more electricity. In addition, many fabrics simply cannot be wrung out at high speeds in order to avoid deterioration.
• Reliability and durability. This parameter directly depends on the assembly quality of the unit, as well as on the operating conditions of these household appliances.

In order for the equipment to serve you for many years, before starting it for the first time, you must carefully study the instructions for its operation and subsequently strictly follow the basic rules for working with this type of electrical appliance. After familiarizing yourself with the provisions of the instructions and having completed the preparatory work for installing the washing machine, its preliminary start-up without putting clothes in the drum, in order to help the machine get rid of small particles remaining in its mechanism during installation, as well as from the production smell of grease, you can start washing the laundry. This process includes the following steps:

1. first of all, it is necessary to calibrate the clothes by color and degree of soiling, as well as by the type of fabric, since completely different washing programs are provided for different types of fabric;

4. treat stubborn stains with a stain remover before loading the laundry into the washing machine drum;
5. it is recommended to fully load the drum with linen in order to reduce wear on the mechanism and ensure a long service life of this household appliance;
6. in order to avoid damage to the bearings and the oil seal of the washing machine, it is not recommended to constantly wash the laundry at maximum speed, therefore it is recommended to set the drum rotation speed within 800 rpm;
7. when selecting a wash program, turn the selector only clockwise, referring to the icons on the panel.

After washing, it is recommended to adhere to the following tips:

• wipe dry the inner surface of the drum and the hatch, and also leave the hatch ajar to completely ventilate the washing machine;
