Alternatives to Samsung Refrigerators
Samsung vs LG fridge
Both Samsung and LG fridges are very similar in terms of price, cooling performance, and storage space efficiency. The main difference between Samsung and LG fridges is the Samsung high-end fridge has better smart home integrations, especially you’re already using smart home appliances like Samsung Smart TV or Samsung Smartphone.
LG and Samsung inverter refrigerators have a similar 2 years general warranty and 10 years compressor warranty policy.
Samsung vs Hisense fridge
The main difference between Samsung and Hisense fridges is the price and appearance. There’s no doubt that the Hisense fridge is relatively cheaper than a Samsung fridge. Hisense fridges usually come with a more conservative design.
But Hisense inverter fridge comes with a super long 12 years motor warranty whereas Samsung only covers 10 years warranty for its inverter motor.
Samsung vs Panasonic fridge
Many Malaysians prefer Panasonic appliances due to their reliability and good reputation. Panasonic fridges are usually slightly cheaper than Samsung, but still more pricey than Hisense fridges of equivalent specifications.
Panasonic budget and mid-range refrigerators are great. But, its high-end refrigerator models are lacking in innovation.
Panasonic offers 6-door premium refrigerators which are ideal for people who are extremely organized. Samsung has only a maximum of 3-4 doors design.
Panasonic inverter fridge provides 12 years warranty on the motor which is longer than Samsung’s 10-year compressor warranty.
Samsung vs Electrolux fridge
The main difference between Samsung and Electrolux fridges is their design and type of fridges. If you’re into french door refrigerators, Electrolux has some of the best variations of french door design.
In terms of price, Electrolux and Samsung fridge are quite similar.
However, Electrolux has only a one-year general warranty and a 10 years motor warranty. Its one-year general warranty is significantly shorter than other refrigerator brands.
