Many have heard about the famous Korean companies LG and Samsung, which manufacture household appliances, but in order to understand all the features of such devices, it is important to take a closer look at not only the advantages, but also the disadvantages of the products.

Strengths and weaknesses of technology

Korean washing machines have been competing with their European counterparts for a long time. The buyer, for his part, always evaluates the goods by cost and functionality. In this regard, the Korean manufacturer has something to show. The main emphasis, naturally, is on the availability of technology. New models are technically advanced and therefore are in great demand.

General advantages of the machines:

For this, consumers pay with a considerable percentage of defects.
