With a huge assortment of household appliances in stores, the problem of choosing a specific model of a product that would not only satisfy all the needs, but would be the best among the competitors' offers, has never been so acute. Especially if you need to make a choice between the two most common brands on the market and determine which refrigerator is better - LG or Samsung. No matter how the two products seem to be the same, in some areas one or the other brand confidently breaks ahead.

Warranty Repair Issues
The first thing to evaluate when comparing two models is the warranty period from the manufacturer and its type. Today, Samsung gives its products a full guarantee of 10 years. It means:
- liquidation of accidents included in the segment of warranty cases is completely free;
- repairs will be made at any of the certified service centers that are available in almost every city.
In contrast, LG is a little tricky. The refrigerator in the documentation may contain a reservation in the form of a full guarantee for a certain number of years and a limited one for a few more.
The latter means that after a specific period of time in the event of a breakdown, spare parts will have to be bought by the device owner, and the cost of repair will be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Despite such a complex scheme, an inscription, for example, on a guarantee of 10 years without additional clarifications, will proudly flaunt on the refrigerator and on the instructions page from LG. Therefore, you should carefully study the documentation and conditions. By this criterion, LG brand products lose in many cases.
Internal climate
NoFrost Systemused in modern refrigerators has one key drawback. Having blown products with cold air with the subsequent removal of moisture, condensate leads to drying out of the contents. The large volume of the freezer, the storage compartment of the remaining products that are hidden behind one door is definitely a losing scheme. Unfortunately, LG products sometimes use this layout.
If you need a refrigerator where the products will be in optimal storage conditions without excessive drying, you should choose a good option Samsung with separate compartment doors. The company is a pioneer of technology for creating zones with clear microclimate parameters; it is easy to find models with two, three, and even four isolated storage compartments on the market, each of which has its own evaporator and ventilation system.
Hardware Specifications
According to experts of service centers and private repairmen, LG offers reliable, but somewhat averaged solutions. They often require a quality power source. If power surges, long-term drawdowns are observed in an apartment or house, the refrigeration equipment of this brand may allow stops, and start-up failures. The refrigerator does not break, however, intervention is required to restore functionality.
Samsung offers solutions adapted to the conditions of the Russian Federation. A few years earlier, the company bluntly stated that the entire hardware is designed for fluctuations in incoming operating parameters within 20%. Today you will not find such a phrase in advertising materials, however user reviews clearly show that the refrigerators of this brand are much more unpretentious and require minimal attention.
If we analyze the noise emitted during the operation of LG and Samsung refrigerators, each of the applicants has areas where he confidently breaks ahead in terms of attractiveness for the user.
- In the sector of single compressor models, the South Korean brand is leading.Samsung is definitely quieter, the supercharger sound is muffled, without a pronounced low-frequency pulse.
- If you want to purchase refrigerator with two compressors, it is worth giving preference to models from LG. Her unbalanced pumps rarely create problems for owners, while powerful Samsung installations can be a real curse. A well-known problem inherent in the brand is the sound resonance arising from the simultaneous operation of two synchronized superchargers.
It is worth noting that the drawback inherent in the sound of some models of Samsung refrigerators is neutralized, however, you will have to deliver the product to the service center for re-adjustment.
Additional functionality
Many people evaluate refrigerators, including the number of different optional utilities and functions. There is also some parity between brand products.
- LG will offer blowing doors for cooling drinks. Samsung counters with special convenient shelves for wine bottles and thoughtful sectors of their placement.
- LG designs enclosures to provide maximum storage space for products. Samsung responds with more compact ventilation grills and channels, offers an additional shelf for convenient placement of content.
- LG plays on the emotions of people with artistic taste, offering, for example, slightly convex doors, cream cases, light prints. Samsung responds with a cry to techno-style enthusiasts, making refrigerators with polished and brushed stainless metal surfaces.
It’s easy enough to notice the competition in the field of habits. This includes machines for dispensing ice, chilled drinks, located in the area of the outer part of the doors. Summarizing, in the field of additional functionality, two refrigerators brands maintain sufficient parity, and the choice of a particular model is often determined by the price tag and dimensions of the device.
Conclusion
As can be seen from the above, it is rather difficult to draw a clearly defined conclusion about the superiority of the products of a company. One thing is certain: among the models with one compressor approximately equal in price, the products of the South Korean brand Samsung should be preferred. Here the advantage in reliability, full guarantee, low noise level is obvious.
