Haier or LG - which company's washing machines are better in 2022?

The best in the budget price segment were models costing less than 30,000 rubles. Thanks to the removable cover, Lji is easily and conveniently integrated into the headset. Hayer, on the other hand, has a narrow body, so it is ideal for a small bathroom. But it weighs 62 kg, while household appliances from the South Korean brand weigh only 56 kg. The Haier drum holds more things than the competitor. There is also a steam supply for the most gentle wash. The function of reloading laundry is absent in both machines, as well as drying.

Despite the lowest price in the selection, LG is highly reliable. And the model also has the best protection against leaks and power surges, while Hyer can only boast of a child lock. Other interesting features include “health care”, foam level control, intelligent wash management and automatic drum cleaning. Both machines are moderate in terms of water and electricity consumption, but Haier wins in terms of economy. She has the maximum energy class - A +++. As for washing and spinning, the models are almost equal here. Each of them has classes A and B, respectively.

In terms of the number of operating modes, washing machines are approximately on the same level. They are great for delicate and mixed fabrics, jeans, woolen, down and children's items, as well as sportswear.You can set a quick wash program or an extra rinse. The control panel has keys for selecting the optimal temperature and spin speed, a timer for a delayed start (up to 24 hours for Hayer and up to 19 hours for LG).

LG leads in popularity among consumers, but there are enough complaints in the reviews. Most often they criticize the long duration of the programs (washing can take up to a day) and the short water intake hose. Of course, not everyone is satisfied with the small volume, but the car is relatively light and compact. It does not move during operation, and the sound at the end is not annoying, because a pleasant melody is used instead of a nasty squeak. If we talk about the shortcomings of Haier, these include the lack of a double spin and the uneven distribution of laundry.

While Hyer's maximum tank load has not changed, LG has increased it by almost 2 times compared to the budget model - 7 kg instead of 4 kg.Moreover, it is not necessary to put all things at once, it is possible to reload during the washing process. Touch buttons and rotary switches are used for control. But even this is not striking, but the remote control function using a smartphone application and the ability to integrate into a smart home system.

Both washing machines are equipped with a steam function. This is a new advanced program that allows you to eliminate unpleasant odors and wrinkles from clothes, refresh clothes. Haier can also add steam while the unit is running to get rid of allergens and viruses. Quick wash with this model takes only 15 minutes. As for the rest of the programs, they are not too different from the standard ones already mentioned in the previous comparison category.

Each automatic machine is protected from children and unexpected power surges. Unlike the competitor, the new Hyer model already has leak protection, and it is complete. Engine warranty up to 12 years. The inverter motor runs quietly and does not require additional maintenance. The rotation speed during the spin cycle is identical for both machines, only Lji consumes 13 liters more water per wash.

In terms of noise, the Chinese unit should be quieter, but customer reviews say otherwise. From the reviews, we also found out that the weak point of Haier is still spinning. It is not powerful enough when compared with a competitor. Including because of this, it will be problematic to wash outerwear or large bedspreads. The main disadvantage of LG is that for unknown reasons, many users complain about a specific smell. It gradually disappears, but not after the first wash.

At first glance, Hyer becomes the obvious leader of the comparison. It is strikingly different from the cheaper model, but Lji received almost the same outdated characteristics. But the company has worked on the functionality. The South Korean automatic machine has special built-in sensors that determine the type of fabric. Thanks to this, the best mode for each material is selected. This option allows you to increase the effectiveness of stain removal without damaging delicate items. The features include the TurboWash program for a quick wash (up to 59 minutes).

Of course, steam treatment has not gone away, so both models do an excellent job of refreshing clothes and smoothing out wrinkles. And you can even put things in the drum that are not intended for washing in a typewriter. Haier's unique UV treatment mode. This is the most important function for children's clothing, because UV rays help get rid of 99% of viruses and bacteria. In addition, the drum is illuminated from the inside, so it will be much more convenient to remove things from it.The Chinese washing machine received touch control, while the Koreans improved the application and added the ability to control using the Yandex Alice voice assistant.

Haier is still more economical in terms of energy consumption, but water consumption is not encouraging - 17 kg more than the competitor, while the drum volume has been expanded by only 1 kg. And the noise of the unit is not encouraging, despite the inverter motor. But the washing machine wrings out things really well due to the high speed of rotation of the motor.

The reviews praise Hayer's stability. It is perfectly fixed and does not move during washing thanks to rubberized legs, however, household appliances weigh a lot. Also, the model is criticized for obscure instructions. And over time, the machine begins to leak for some buyers. If we talk about the disadvantages of Lji, the main one was excessive sensitivity and the impossibility of blocking the touch panel. Because of this, there is a risk of accidentally choosing the wrong mode or stopping the process.

In the washing machine of the premium price segment, LG updated the intelligent direct drive system. Now the sensors determine the type of material, its weight, softness and density even more accurately. The company also introduced an innovative depreciation system. Due to this, it was possible to increase the capacity of the drum without changing the dimensions of the body. The TurboWash 360 program has been upgraded along with other features, reducing the wash time to 39 minutes. The quality of washing in both machines is at the same level, which is confirmed by user ratings according to the criterion. Household appliances perfectly cope with outdated dirt and do not injure delicate fabrics. Spinning is more effective in the Chinese model, things dry out in just a couple of hours indoors.

Noise and vibration during washing are present, but within normal limits. Hier works a little louder due to the increased number of engine revolutions. But it still consumes less water and electricity. After every 100 cycles, the unit reminds you of the need for cleaning. This process is automatic, the owner requires a minimum of actions. Full drying is not provided, but there is a mode that wring out clothes for quick drying.

Let's talk about the shortcomings of each model. In the reviews, there are complaints about the LG's branded control panel, which is why you have to constantly wipe it. In addition, there is no full-fledged child lock, and leakage protection is not the best. Buyers recommend replacing the inlet hose with a special Aqua-stop to protect yourself. And protection for touch buttons can be purchased on Aliexpress and other stores.Another important nuance is that the actual depth of the machine is 56 cm, not 47 cm. This can be critical for installation in a small bathroom.

Hyer is praised in reviews for thoughtful modes of operation. They are built in such a way that it is possible to quickly remove even old dirt. Conveniently, there are separate compartments for all detergents, and the steam really disinfects clothes. Not everyone liked the blue backlight, but its benefits are undeniable. The most serious drawback is vibration and movement during spinning, even if you set the household appliances exactly in level. Also, some buyers complain about poor washing out of the powder from the tray.

If you take into account the washing machines with dryers, Hyer offers more budget options. Of course, the competitor also has cheap models in its assortment, but they received not very good reviews from buyers.In this category, we consider household appliances in the premium price segment of 75,000–80,000 rubles, so the requirements for it are appropriate.

Both machines use the residual moisture drying type. This is much more convenient than the outdated time setting, because the owner of the equipment independently determines the level of drying things. The units are approximately on the same level in terms of spin speed and quality, as well as the noise level during washing. Haier is frustrating consumers with its energy efficiency - class B instead of the usual A +++ means that it is unlikely to save money. But the washing machine is a little cheaper than a similar product from a South Korean company.

Yes, LG loses in terms of price, number of programs and water consumption, but it has the maximum capacity in the collection - more than 10 kg of clothes can be washed at a time. Not without unique technologies, the most interesting was Eco Hybrid - hot air drying combined with intensive water circulation. Haier introduced the Antistain function to remove the most stubborn and difficult stains, as well as Smart Dual Spray - automatic cleaning using two powerful water jets.

We studied consumer reviews to select the most popular cons of each product. Lji has an unpleasant technical smell, which almost does not remain on clothes, but still causes discomfort. Also, things wrinkle a lot during the drying process. And after washing towels and rugs, it is imperative to turn on the drum cleaning every time, otherwise the pile will remain inside. The main drawback of Hayer is a miscalculation in the design, due to which the air duct gradually clogs and fails after a couple of years. To avoid this, you will have to regularly clean the dryer.

You can see a trend towards overestimating Lji from users. Perhaps this is due to loyalty to the South Korean brand. But the specifications and reviews speak for themselves - LG makes the most functional and modern washing machines suitable for any purpose. They do not always boast a minimum noise level or an impressive drum volume, and they also consume too much water and electricity. But with its main task, household appliances do an excellent job. And all models are slightly cheaper than their closest competitors. That is why the company becomes the leader of the comparison, albeit with a minimal margin.

Hayer will also be a good solution for the home. Products from this brand should be chosen by those who do not need control from a smartphone and other additional functions. Chinese cars cannot be called the most durable, but they have a capacious drum, a reliable engine and high maintainability. And almost all models have an A+++ energy class, so the savings are obvious.Due to the large percentage of marriage, not the best spin and increased noise during operation, buyers rate washing machines lower.
