What is better washing machine Bosch or LG?

Bosch and LG washing machineChoosing a washing machine from two specific brands, for example, Bosch or LG is much easier than choosing from all the washing machines on the market. However, in this case too, many questions and doubts may arise about which machine is more reliable. Let's try to compare the Bosch and LG washers to find out which is better?

Manufacturer and type of washing machine

First of all, you need to compare the technical characteristics of the washers, their "filling", build quality, and only then make a choice. Let's start with the manufacturer. Most Bosch brand washing machines available on the Russian market are made in Russia, but there are models assembled in Germany and Slovakia. Most LG washing machines are also assembled in Russia, but there are also models of machines from China. Undoubtedly, the most reliable cars from Germany are considered, as confirmed by the masters of service centers. But cars of the Russian assembly often find themselves in repair, regardless of brand.

If we talk about reliability, then Bosch washing machines have a weak point in the control module, while LG has a drain pump. It is impossible to predict which of the cars will break faster. But the second repair will be much cheaper, and it is easier to carry out.

Next, we compared the type of loading the washers. It turned out that Bosch brand washing machines are both frontal and vertical. But at LG, there are no top-loading washers. This is another small plus in favor of the German brand, since top-loading machines are narrower and easier to place in a small bathroom. In addition, vertical lines are popular with those who have back problems and cannot lean.

Note! Bosch top-loading washing machines are manufactured in Slovakia.

The next feature that we noticed is the type of machine depending on the installation. If you only need a built-in washer, then without options you will have to consider models from Bosch, since there are no built-in LG machines among LG.

Programs and additional options

Now compare the functionality and capacity of the units.

  • LG washing machines can have a load of 4 to 17 kg of laundry, very impressive;
  • Bosch machines are produced with a capacity of 5 to 9 kg of laundry.

As you can see, the difference is noticeable, so if you have a need for a very large unit, then you have to choose the LG machine. By and large, for a large family, an aggregate with a load of 7-9 kg is enough, and both manufacturers have enough.

washing machine lgAs for the set of programs, it is very difficult to compare here. Generally speaking, the basic set of modes is available for both some and other representatives. According to this criterion, you need to choose, based on the needs in a particular mode, some of the programs may be completely unnecessary and useless. Cars from the same price category will have the same number of programs, while differing in purpose and duration. The drying function is also available for those and other machines. However, we note that the choice of washing and drying machines is more with the manufacturer LG.

Let's say a few words about the technologies being introduced. LG manufacturers have introduced steam technology in the latest car models. Features such as “Refresh” and “Steam Wash” were noted by users from the best side.

But Bosch manufacturers have developed 3D technology AquaSpar, which involves the additional injection of water through the cuff of the drum. This speeds up the wet process. In addition, Bosch washers are able to dispense detergents.

Which car is better to wash?

Washing quality is an important criterion when choosing a washing machine. In order to find out which machine erases better, we turned to the results of the test conducted by the Roskontrol Consumer Rights Protection Society. For testing, they took washing machines of six brands, including budget-friendly washing machines of the Russian assembly Bosch and LG.

The experiment was that the drum of each machine was loaded at 80% of the maximum allowable weight with a cotton cloth. 6 different types of impurities were applied to the fabric in a special way, including berry, meat and grass stains. The washing was carried out in the "Cotton" mode at 60 degrees. The result was as follows: the Bosch washing machine finished washing almost an hour earlier than the LG machine, which led to an unsatisfactory result, since it could not cope with cherry stains. The fabric sample washed in the LG machine was perfectly clean.

Note! Saving the consumption of water, detergent, electricity can lead to deterioration in the quality of washing, and then re-washing is inevitable. Therefore, the economy in the case of washing machines should be reasonable.

During the test, the experts also evaluated the quality of the spin. Despite the fact that the maximum number of revolutions of the washers was not the same, this did not affect the results. Best of all pressed laundry washing machine samsungbut now not about her. The Bosch machine handled spinning worse than anyone else, since the percentage of residual moisture was 56%, while in the LG washer it was 44%. So, the result is on the face, the LG washing machine in this experiment beat the Bosch washing machine. And she was also the quietest.

Compare the appearance and price

washing machine Bosch WAS-2874-BOEAs for the appearance of washing machines, it is impossible to say which one is better, this is the subjective opinion of everyone. Note that at the moment there are Bosch washing machines on sale in white, silver and black. LG cars are only in white and silver, although not so long ago there were also red models.

And finally, compare washing machines for the price. Until recently, it was safe to say that Bosch washing machines are much more expensive than LG machines. When the production of both machines was opened in Russia, the price of most models fell, and if it differs, then only slightly. Those cars that are delivered from abroad did not fall in price, but with the growth of the dollar, on the contrary, they grew, so we should talk about them separately.

Here is a comparative table of washing machines from different price categories.

price for Bosch and lg washers

Note! In most Bosch washing machines, leakage protection is complete, that is, there is an Aquastop system. But in LG cars, even in expensive ones, the protection is only partial, and this is a minus of the technology of this brand.

Summarize

So, to say which car is the best of the two brands we examined is quite difficult. If we compare the Russian-built washing machines of a low price category, then the choice among LG machines is richer. However, most indicators and characteristics indicate that the Bosch washing machine is still better. As for the quality of washing, we would not rely 100% on the experiment described above. The fact is that the German assembly model can show itself in this test in a completely different way than the Russian one.

In our opinion, from inexpensive washing machines within 25 thousand rubles you can choose a machine from LG, especially since there is plenty to choose from. But if the question of money is not worth it, then it is better to give preference to a German assembly machine than a Chinese one. However, the choice is yours, successful purchase!

    I choose a washing machine between Bosch and LG. Already kind of decided on Bosch. But then I read about the fact that her weak point is the control unit. Now I'm starting to lean towards LG. I can not afford the German assembly. Thanks for the sensible article!

  2. Gravatar User User:

    LG is also recessed. The top cover is removed by people and built in, I saw on one site it is written: The height for embedding LG is 82 cm. Also this height without a top cover.

  3. Gravatar Sergey Sergei:

    I will say after using Bosch and Samsung. Definitely - Bosch.

    She chose a washing machine for a long time and thoroughly. I stopped at two versions of Bosch wln24261oe and LG F12U2HDN0. As the article advises, I relied on the German brand. I regretted it almost immediately after buying Bosch. The display burned disgustingly and when washing above 30 degrees, condensate began to flow from the powder tray. In general, I barely got the act of writing off the typewriter for marriage from the service. The other day I'm going to do an exchange. I don’t even want to look at Bosch after all the ordeals with her. I plan to take the LG that I originally wanted. The Bosch typewriter is very disappointed. The quality of washing, by the way, is ordinary. Spin is not very liked - linen terribly wrinkled. And when wringing shakes it is scary. Very noisy during the spin cycle. Well, now let's see how LG will show itself.

  5. Gravatar Senya Senya:

    Frankly speaking, if you compare in terms of work, then the German manufacturer is easier and more reliable. My relatives have LG. They refused to repair, because it is expensive. And on Bosch I replaced the belt myself. And she is again ready to serve for at least five years, as the past also served. A direct drive is another story.
