    As for Samsung, I'm not very convinced. I only like their phones :) And when it comes to LG, I have read recently that they have very modern fridge-freezers with the NO FROST function as well as Multi-Air-Flow and
    LED display. Read on the internet to learn more about this product.

    It is best for LG marketing staff to start speaking on the forum and saying yells about the products they offer.
    It is an indisputable fact that Samsung sells the most side by side coolers on the market. In this group there is a real RSG5 Guggenheim candy, just a beautiful refrigerator with an ice maker in the freezer door and super lighting.
    In the group of combi refrigerators, there is nothing to be ashamed of in the new RL38,41,44 series. The ones made in stainless steel are made of real steel and not silver-lacquered. Currently, he has also introduced a whole series of kitchen appliances, ceramic and induction hobs, a dishwasher and hoods. As for microwave ovens, it is also in the first place on sale.
    Failures, as in all companies on the market, failures happen.
    As for the phones, I still appreciate Nokia.

    I am also a faithful user of Nokia phones, and as for LG, I follow the latest household appliances and I found an article about the new series of LG Aeksander refrigerators. They are like a work of art.
    Who would ever have thought that a refrigerator could adopt such a futuristic shape: http://nowetrendy.pl/index.php/news/id/4772 " target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener ugc" class="postlink inline" title="" > http://nowetrendy.pl/index.php/news/id/4772 :D

    samsu - the same can be said about marketers of every company, Samsung too, as you can see ...
    I did not have the pleasure to use the Samsung refrigerator, but I can say something about LG. they are very well constructed, not only in terms of functional space layout, but also visual impressions. the new series have a very nice finish and many technological innovations. it is really worth knowing what they offer.

    I am a service person, not a marketing person, and I can talk substantively about many devices of various brands present on the Polish market.
    I think that the opinions, both emphasizing the advantages and disadvantages of individual models, are best presented by their current users and in my opinion these opinions are the most valuable and not referring to sellers' websites or quoting advertising folders of producers because such information is not the question for the inquirers.
    If someone wants to help the questioner, let him write: I have such and such a model. That's good about him and that's bad. And no: they have a nice interior and technical innovations - this is butter info.

    Novell from the LG marketing department traditionally praises LG without giving any arguments and criticizes everything else. I do not think I will buy an LG air conditioner because of it, because this company seems to be suspicious to me.

    Cool Jan, I am valuer marketers from Elektorlux are breaking all records in the washing machine department :D

    Coming back to the topic - I recently bought a refrigerator, I also looked at LG. In my opinion, the materials leave a lot to be desired.

    Samsung - I was discouraged by the numerous opinions on the quality of the service in the event of a failure. I preferred not to risk it.

    In the end, I bought Sharp.

    samsu - sorry, but just looking at that post, I got this and no other impression :P
    Sorry for writing too general, if you want details, no problem :)
    I have the LG GR-B459BTQA model. It is a fridge-freezer with a freezer compartment on the bottom. From the functions that really make my life easier - an open door alarm, a bottle shelf - which is supposed to be for wine, but you know ... and the twist ice maker - it is nicely constructed, because you do not spill water all over the freezer ;)
    In addition, I really appreciate the No Frost function and the Multi Air Flow that were already mentioned here. No water vapor is deposited anywhere, and thus there is no frost on the walls and products, and there is no option that it is cooler lower and warmer higher, etc.
    I don't know what didn't suit Meg about the materials it is made of. I can't complain, they are easy to clean and in my opinion they just look fresh, but that's a matter of taste, of course ... Not everyone likes this slightly blue finish ... Although the shelves are made of tempered glass anyway. I don't think it's coming from other brands.
    Overall, I am really happy with this purchase. Although I dream of side by side anyway, but unfortunately I have no place yet :(

    Janie - do not be discouraged, each company advertises itself in one way or another :) and in terms of air conditioners, if I know well, this is one of the best brands, or at least the most popular, because wherever I go, I see 'ichnie' ;)

    Hello, I have a Samsung RL38ECPS fridge freezer. The fridge works like this doll, the chiller works very quietly, you can only hear a slight bubbling of the liquid, but other brands of refrigerators with R600 liquid also work like this. The refrigerator has elegant shelves, a display with parameter settings on the door, holiday mode ( You can turn off the fridge and the freezer will work). The drawers move very easily and are made of durable plastic. The housing of the refrigerator is also carefully made - there is nothing to complain about, I personally recommend this model is very nice and functional, opinions about it are also good but as everywhere, sometimes you can find bums if you don't have a bit of luck.

    Hello !!! I have a Samsung RL38ECPS fridge-freezer, I bought it for two years on January 8, 2008, so far I had no problems with it, until February 17th. The warranty has expired and the refrigerator is working as well. I woke up and had a puddle of water, all the contents of the freezer unfrozen.
    I called Samsung and asked what to do, the first question when I bought the refrigerator, I gave the answer was please unplug it for an hour, if it does not help to call the service for a fee. Such was the advice, I turned off and nothing blew, the refrigerator does not work.
    The light is there, it buzzes and does not cool.
    I called the service and I was told that Samsung parts are very expensive, so I understand that it is not profitable for me to repair it.
    Maybe the cross had a similar problem and knows what could have happened?
    I request information.
    Personally, I would not buy a samsung refrigerator for the second time.
    Yes, I am very happy and I have a samsung LCD TV for 5 years.

    Hello
    He also works in the refrigeration service, although he deals with another department, because industrial refrigeration, but I am a man who repairs refrigerators and washing machines, and from his opinion and experience, Bosch and Elektrolux are good refrigerators.
    Samsung and LG, as far as I know and see, after the repairs, they will not withstand 5 years of trouble-free operation, and not only the refrigerators, but also the rest of the equipment are made today so that it is as cheap as possible for the customer, so we are partly to blame for ourselves because there is nothing cheap and good.
    So what you choose is your wubor, but let it not cost PLN 800 because it is a waste of money and after the warranty is not profitable repair and you will have to buy a new one.
    With com phones I use the HTC SPV650M, Nokia gets off at it.
    Greetings

    I do not like being a clapper for a company but I cannot agree with false information. Samsung has cheap parts, comparing their level with other manufacturers. I do not want to judge the service that stated that Samsung parts are very expensive and it will definitely not be profitable to repair it without even inspecting the product and assessing the damage. They must have been afraid to touch the no frost cooler. The description of the defect does not indicate much, it may be a damaged compressor, but even in this case it is worth repairing. (I estimate the price of a new compressor at about PLN 250), there will be labor and access. All these prices are contractual and depend on the specific service.
    And even the best brand will be offended when the product breaks down right after the warranty, but it depends on luck, not the brand.

    Buy what you like and extend the warranty.
    Many halls offer an extension of the warranty to 5 years and believe me that it pays off, which can be recalculated by comparing, for example, the unfortunate broken RL38ECPS refrigerator, the cost of the compressor PLN 250 + labor + transport = about PLN 500, it seems to pay off, but looking at the price of this refrigerator in euro it is almost 1/3 of the value of the new equipment ... To be honest, I would not sign up for such a repair, because I would not be sure that something else will not be damaged in a moment and I will simply throw the money down the drain.
    Personally, I own a side-by-side Sharp SJF 800 SPBK which does not have a vertical partition separating the cooler from the freezer, which I find more practical and convenient (cooler on top, freezer on the bottom). o This SBS does not have such gadgets as an automatic icemaker, but maybe it is good, because I do not have to replace the water filter every six months, which costs PLN 150-170, as in Samsung or LG. However, if I need ice cubes, the refrigerator produces them within 30 minutes. This is my second refrigerator from this company that I gave the old refrigerator (8 years without failure), because my family has grown a bit, I bought this sbs and I am satisfied.
    To sum up, the equipment is very nice and practical and when it comes to other functions (see different marketing tricks) it has everything that LG or Samsung has. If LG marketing writes here, I suggest you get to work and write on your own website about your refrigerators, because there is no information there first from the edge GR-P227HTPV, we can only find out from the specification that the refrigerator is side by side and nothing more, I hope their refrigerators work better than the people who write about them ... o As for Samsung, it was just a "dangerous product" mishap that discouraged me from buying Link one more thing, since when quantity = quality ???? The fact that Samsung has a lot of sales does not mean that it is a top-shelf or top-quality product. Demand can be driven by the low price of the product, and if something is cheap, is it made of the highest quality components ??? - It is rather hard to believe, especially since it is a product of Chinese factories.

    The Multi Air Flow System or NO FROST are no new systems and most fridges from the frost-free category have Multi Air Flow, i.e. a simple vertical airflow on several shelves. LED displays are also no strangers to other brands.

    I understand that you are talking about those LG refrigerators that have one air circuit, thanks to which the air from the freezer is mixed with the air from the refrigerator, which, as you can easily guess, significantly reduces the shelf life of the stored products (I am talking about, for example, the most expensive LG refrigerator - red with flowers)

    Not only Novella - the top of the peaks is Azatunia sending the same link to Alexander forever, which does not sell because it is simply too expensive.

    And here is the dog buried. I have dealt with products from Chinese factories and in the case of refrigerators, a significant part of them may be "dangerous" or simply a short period of use. The problem is that most of the products on the market are Chinese products (especially when it comes to side-by-side refrigerators). The only Korean manufacturer that offers Korean side-by-side is Daewoo.

    To sum up: let's buy what we like because only those who deal with it know how with the equipment. And what the seller recommends to us in the store mostly means that the store wants to get rid of a given model from the warehouse because it benefits.

    Yes ... and on which model was it written? o I recommend the article (English) and checking the rating plates where it is clearly written that it is a Chinese product Link As for Daewoo, it's actually a Korean product, but this company is one big question mark ... I know they make sbs refrigerators for Bosch. o All in all, sbs Bosch = Daewoo only a little more chrome is inside
    I was thinking for a moment whether to buy such a refrigerator, because they are cheap, but thank you, I found out in the service that they do not have parts and they often send used parts for repairs. When I was in Germany, they were just withdrawing their products from stores, because they were liquidating from the local market.
    Coming back to the topic choosing between the two brands Samsung vs LG
    I would definitely choose Samsung when it comes to refrigerators, even after the bump with sbs. I watched Lg refrigerators today and to be honest they seem terribly cheesy when it comes to finishing, the Korean competitor outclasses them in terms of aesthetics and quality of plastics used in the products.
    I was also surprised by Daewoo sbs refrigerators and station wagon from the 420 series are quite well made, the others from the ERF and RFB series are the stone age trash to the powerhouse.
    Sea theme ...

    I recommend reading the rating plates :) the rsh, rsj, rse, rsg series are on the nameplate that they were made in korea (anyway, all samsungi with the twincooling system) and the series with a single cooling circuit, i.e. rsa is china :) And as for the 420 Daewoo series, I like it too. Think what customers think who bought sbs produced by daewoo but with bsh stamp :) Well, the brand works wonders :) and doubles the price

    I have a Samsung fridge-freezer and I advise against it to everyone. During the warranty period, it was repaired twice (apparently the defects are known to the manufacturer), and just after the warranty, the evaporator heater failed (repair costs half the value of the refrigerator) The refrigerator is equipped with a display on the door allegedly showing the correct temperature (the manual thermometer inside shows significant differences at temperatures) Summarizing I DO NOT RECOMMEND SAMSUNG

    I will add my 3 cents because I am a Samsung refrigerator user and I would like to warn others.
    A few years ago I bought a Samsung RT24MGSW refrigerator. I had only 2 frost-free refrigerators to choose from - no frost LG and Samsung. I thought Samsung would be better, and that was a mistake.
    After 1 year of use, the refrigerator was replaced with a new one in the service, it was cracking inside, the plastic was spreading, and the sides of the refrigerator were very hot. The service technicians found that they replaced many refrigerators with the same defect.
    The new refrigerator did not crack anymore, but it also heated up terribly.
    After half a year it was replaced and replaced again because they found that it was not worth repairing it.
    The last one has been going for several years without any technical problems.
    When it comes to making a refrigerator, it is so-so. All the shelves have long since been replaced with new, additional, glass ones, because these plastic crap broke into power.
    If someone is going to buy a refrigerator from this company, I advise you to think carefully.

    Hello
    suggests that you exercise extreme caution when purchasing a Samsung refrigerator. The website is looking for a reason not to operate under the warranty. I bought a refrigerator. For my kitchen arrangement, the door had to be moved. Hinges improperly designed
    and cause the gasket to be deformed on one side. Refrigerator is leaking after removing the door. The service thinks that it will not replace the gaskets because the door has been moved by an unauthorized service. They are just funny. Not only do they sell a dump for so much money, but they rob the customer without respecting the guarantee.
