The market for washing machines has long been identified by the most well-known companies and models. To make a choice from the presented quantity is a decision from the difficult category: the model lines of each company, the differences in the proposed characteristics, and price ranges create great difficulties in determining.
One of the most famous companies for the production of washing machines are representatives from Germany - Bosch, as well as their South Korean colleagues - LG. Then a logical question arises for comparison: which washing machine is better - LG or Bosch?

Bosch Technical Features
At the mention of the definition of “German”, an additional association “quality” comes to mind of both a simple layman and an engineering specialist. The Germans, indeed, relate to the durability and performance of their products with an enviable categoricality.
Cars, household appliances, musical instruments, watches - German quality is known in everything and everywhere.
The Bosch washing machine arrived on the territory of the Russian Federation many years ago and firmly settled in our area: to such an extent that it began to be manufactured directly with us. Bosch's washer factories operate in two cities: Engels and Tolyatti.
Unfortunately, this fact was not noted for historical reasons: domestic production could not but affect the decline in the quality of the produced machines. Of course, the buyer will not meet global differences, but he will notice gaps in the assembly.
Speaking about the merits, we can distinguish the following points:
- a large number of programs for washing;
- housing and drum quality;
- the range of drum capacities from 5 to 9 kg is also sufficient for a large family, but can not be compared with LG models;
- flower arrangement: in addition to white, silver and black colors are offered;
- innovative 3D AquaSpar technology, which consists in injecting an additional amount of liquid to accelerate the process of wetting clothes and save washing time;
- for the vast majority of models, leakage protection is complete and comes at the level of an almost mandatory function;
- Introduced technology for dosing detergents to improve the quality of washing, etc.
Even the quality of the Germans did not allow Bosch washing machines to get rid of the second component of the "pros and cons" section: disadvantages. These include:
- the appearance of Russian assembly plants affected the quality of the products sold, but it also pleasantly “hit” the customers ’wallets: the prices for equipment were reduced and approached the indicators of models of other companies;
- Bosch washer failure is a global issue. The Bosch failure of the software control module, as well as the wear of the drum bearings, is most characteristic of Boschs. Both failures are expensive in terms of repair, and the most appropriate option would be to purchase a new machine rather than fix it.
Despite everything, the average life of the machine from Bosch is about 5-10 years, depending on the model, nature of use and other factors.
Our article describes in detail icons on a Bosch washing machineif, all of a sudden, you don’t know what this or that means.
Technical features of LG
The assembly of LG-washers is carried out both at Chinese factories and at enterprises in Russia, which, unfortunately, periodically affects quality. The brainchild of the Korean company has long been famous for its "think tank" - in terms of software, the technology from Lji goes "ahead of the rest." This is reflected both in the issue of implemented technologies and functions, and in the number of washing modes.
The recoverability of LG washing machines is the subject of a separate and enjoyable conversation. The weak point of Korean technology is the drain pumps and the water drainage system as a whole. Its repair and replacement are possible and cost a fair amount for the owners.The washing machines from LG are distinguished by the quality of the wash: it is excellent. Spending a minimum level of water and powder, the whole process takes a little longer than the German "brothers", but the result is the linen of the purest "consistency".
Among LG models top loading machines - a great rarity. Compared to Bosch washers in which the quantity front loading machines is in equal proportion with the "vertical lines", LG is more located to the frontal performance of its technology.
Despite this fact, LG has many times less built-in machines than Bosch. To be extremely honest, the number of built-in models can be counted almost on the fingers.
When it comes to washing and drying machines, LG can proudly straighten its shoulders: here it acts as an almost absolute leader.
Price policy
Talk about who will cost more: Bosch or LG, could have relevance in the early 2000s, when any washer from Bosch and LG was going to Germany and Slovakia and, respectively, South Korea and China.
With the opening of mutual factories on the territory of the “great and mighty”, the price ratios for the most part have become equal and now do not represent a global difference. Differences are found only in those moments when it comes to product quality.
Among the models of both Bosch and LG, you can find options with price tags from 15 thousand to 90-100 thousand rubles.
The best LG and Bosch models in the Russian market
For models of both South Koreans from LG and Germans from Bosch, the most visible figures of the proposed range of equipment within their framework can be distinguished.
Representatives of LG are:
LG F-1096SD3 is leak-proof, an economical option with a wide range of programs and an excellent price of 23 thousand rubles. And even if the machine is not distinguished by a low noise level, however, the consumption of only 39 liters of water per cycle and the washing quality at the “high” level allows you to “close your eyes” to small flaws.
LG F-1296ND3 is a quiet “colleague” of the first device in the list, squeezing at a maximum speed of 1200 revolutions and withstanding loading up to 6 kg. It has a warranty card for a period of 10 years, a bunch of washing programs and a nice interface. The buyer is separated from the machine by a price tag of 21 thousand rubles.
LG F-H4A8JDS2 - "steam giant»With a capacity of up to 10 kg and TrueSteam steam technology. Cost in the region of 42 thousand rubles.
LG FR-296WD4 - representative "from LG" with a price of 25,000 wooden. This model is built-in, characterized by quiet operation and "brains" that provide maximum automation and save time and money.
The German “price list” of the best models is as follows:
Bosch WLG 20060 - containing up to 5 kg of linen, a silent version of the most budgetary washing machines - the cost will amount to 18-19 thousand rubles.
Bosch WAW 24440, which has the following characteristics: 14 wash control programs, up to 9 kg volume, interaction with liquid powder and excellent economy indicators, as well as the ability to add laundry using the “reloading».
Bosch WLG 24260 - the machine has many protection criteria: from imbalance of the drum, from children, from an excess of foam. Convenient functions of delayed and night start. The cost of a washing machine is from 24 thousand rubles.
We invite you to familiarize yourself with the broader assortment of washing machines Bosch.
Who erases better?
Choosing which is better, we can say with confidence: washing machines LG lead in this position with enviable superiority. They wash for half an hour - an hour longer than Bosch’s, but the time spent will more than pay off with clean linen.
In addition to the basic advantage of washing, LG relatively recently began to equip their steam wash function. The supply of steam to the drum with linen allows you to refresh the look and at times better cleanse the dirt.
On the issue of spin quality, the LG machine again showed good results: residual moisture was only 44% compared to 56% of Bosh.
findings
Apparently, the final decision on the question of which washing machine is better: LG or Bosch, will fall on the shoulders of the buyer. Here we conclude in the following vein: choosing durability, pleasant handling and acceptable loading, stop on models from Bosch.
Having decided to taste new technologies, a sea of programs, adequate cost and excellent maintainability, as well as high quality washing, we ask you to love and favor closer to the shelves with the inscription “LG”.

I have a LG F-14A8TDS washer, I have been operating for the fourth year, and I bought it at a pre-crisis price. No complaints, though there was a slight breakdown: the water level control sensor burned out, but in this case the power surge was to blame (we have a new house and often there are such things because of apartment renovations), the master repaired in 20 minutes. 8 kg, washes perfectly even at 40 degrees. Indeed, the noise level is minimal, with a closed door to the bathroom the machine is not audible at all. Spin maximum 1400 revolutions, take out the laundry a little damp. I follow all operating conditions: I clean the drum once every six months (automatic cleaning) and once every 2-3 months a filter (this is done by the husband manually). I recommend this washing machine as an excellent assistant in the household. Before it were Bosh and Beko machines, but I like LG the most.
And I use Indesit and I have a good time with the typewriter, despite the fact that the house constantly turned off the light in winter. I bought a powder of high quality, things wash well and smell pleasantly =)
