Samsung Edges ahead in Washer-Dryer Energy Test against Competition
29. May 2025Samsung Electronics is intensifying competition in the South Korean household appliance market with innovations in all-in-one washer-dryers.. Since both companies launched their latest models last year, energy consumption has become a key differentiator. The Korea Consumer Agency’s recent evaluation revealed that Samsung’s Bespoke AI Combo (WD25DB8995BB) uses approximately 1,160Wh per cycle—23% less than LG’s Tromm Objet Collection Wash Combo (FH25EAE), which consumes 1,432Wh. Samsung also demonstrated quicker operation, completing wash and dry cycles up to 30 minutes faster than LG. In standalone modes, Samsung maintained its advantage in both energy use and time savings. Home appliances usually require KC Safety certification in order to be approved for import and sale in Korea.
However, LG’s model showed superior performance in water efficiency, using 83 liters per cycle compared to Samsung’s 106 liters in the one-stop mode. This could appeal to environmentally conscious consumers focused on water conservation. As two of the nation’s leading electronics giants, Samsung and LG’s ongoing rivalry continues to shape consumer expectations, with energy efficiency, performance, and technological innovation becoming critical decision-making factors. The Korea Consumer Agency’s authoritative evaluations are playing a pivotal role in influencing public perception and driving product advancements.
