Samsung washing machine is a welcome technique, perhaps, in every 5th apartment in the world. South Korean technology is not inferior in quality even to leading German brands, and the cost of many cars is available to customers. Continuing a series of brand washing machine reviews, I propose to learn as much as possible about the brand and its products and compare the best offers from Samsung. Forward - towards the perfect washing machine!
Where Samsung produces SMA, interesting facts
The manufacturer of Samsung automatic machines is South Korea, so it would be logical to try to translate the name, which literally means “three stars”. It was about the three sons of the founders of the company, and not about the class of technology, because today it draws on all 5 stars - electronics, including gadgets, are not giving way to the famous Apple products, and it is worth a lot. In Korean transcription, the word sounds like [samson], but do not confuse it with the Turkish port of Samsun - yes, yes, there are such places on our planet.
The company survived the Korean War and large-scale reform, but this did not prevent the company from entering the top world leaders in the electronic, chemical, heavy industry, construction, financial industry and in many other areas. What is it worth only Samsung Pay’s own payment system, huge charity work, sponsorship in sports (in particular, Chelsea FC), support for the Olympic movement, sponsorship of literature and art, etc. Therefore, Samsung is a really large company with a rich history and a broad field of activity, and it can be trusted, as millions of users around the world do.
Technologies and solutions in washing machines from Samsung
Consider the coolest technology used in modern cars, the Samsung machine.
Addwash
Edvos is a small additional door in the main loading hatch, with which you can add forgotten clothes or detergents directly during washing. Innovation, although simple in execution, but convenient. The real facts:
- 100% of users use an additional door.
- 71% add forgotten items through a mini-hatch.
- 43% pour forgotten air conditioning.
- 50% load laundry when rinsing (items that do not need to be washed, but only rinsed).
- 87% are now not worried that some things will not be washed.
- 93% of owners are willing to recommend AddWash models to their friends and acquaintances.
It is important that you can load the tool or thing at ANY stage of the program - this is the main convenience. 17 cars from the assortment are equipped with a function.
EcoBubble - Bubble Wash
The eco bubble generator is designed for good decontamination at a minimum water temperature. The machine turns the detergent into bubbles, which easily penetrate the fibers of things and easily push dirt out of the fabric, protecting it from damage. Also EcoBubble, according to the manufacturer, saves energy.
On a note! Many users affectionately and with humor have called this option a “bulb”.
Inverter motor
The inverter motor is also not an innovation, but an excellent solution for any modern AGR. It works quietly, makes all processes more efficient and consumes less electricity than usual. And most importantly - the durability of such an engine, because only a guarantee for it is given for as long as 10 years, but how long will it work beyond the warranty period? Probably a lot, because it does not have brushes that are constantly erased and require replacement.
Quickdrive
This technology involves a drum with independent rotation of the back wall for delicate and efficient washing in the shortest possible time - in just 39 seconds! In the assortment there are at least 5 options with this option.
Drum Diamond Drum
Diamond is a “honeycomb” drum with a relief design, in which there are a quarter less openings than in a regular one. Moreover, the holes are hidden in the recesses of the cells. Such a drum takes care of things.
This is not all that can be said about Samsung SMA, but it is better to find out everything in the description of the technology - it will be more clear.
How to find out the date of manufacture of SM from Samsung?
If you want to buy the latest version, you need to be able to find the year of manufacture - it is encrypted in the serial number of the device. It is a combination of Latin letters and numbers, for example - R38K503SRVD. In the case of the production date, you need the last character, if it is a letter, count 5 characters to the left. If the number ends with a digit, also count from right to left in 5 steps.
- The sixth symbol on the left is the month of manufacture. This is the number that corresponds to the number of the month, or the letter: A - October, B - November, C - December.
- The seventh character on the left is the year of manufacture. So, Y - 2005, L - 2006, P - 2007, Q - 2008, S - 2009, Z - 2010, B - 2011, C - 2012, D - 2013, F - 2014, G - 2015, H - 2016, J - 2017, K - 2018, M - 2019, N - 2020.
If you focus on the example with the photo, then the machine was made in May 2018.
How to find serial number or IMEI?
If you could not find the serial number, to find out the release date of the equipment, find the serial number by opening the hatch. The factory sticker can be located on the loop, as in the photo, - the model is highlighted in red, the serial code is green.
Did not find the sticker inside the hatch or is it damaged? Turn the washer “back to the forest” - on the back you will see a sign that also has information.
What to look for when choosing?
Before you go to the store or for a virtual shopping on online stores of household appliances, decide on the main criteria by which you need to choose a good AGR:
- Type of shell. The machine can be either full-size or narrow - it all depends on whether you have free space in the bathroom or in the kitchen. By the way, check the dimensions right at the point of sale - right up to the point that you bring a tape measure with you. In online stores, parameters such as width, height, and depth may not be indicated correctly.
- Loading. Small - less than 7 kg, medium - 7-8 kg, large - 9-12 kg. If you live alone, the minimum load is enough, and for a large family - the more the better.
- Spin speed. In some older models, the drum rotation speed is found to be only 1000 rpm, but most SMs are able to wring out at 1200 rpm. Also, 25% of the machines “squeeze” 1400 rpm and only one SMA squeezes 1600 rpm. The dryness of the output depends on the spin speed.
- Color spectrum. There are no black, red and other non-standard options, but there are noble white and silver cases, and silver color can be light or dark.
- How much is? The price tag is very different - from 18,990 to 110,000 rubles. In such a price difference, each buyer will find something for himself.
