6 cheaper alternatives in used condition
Ranges and medians are for used units only, the same condition as the SAMSUNG HS40 above. The percentage is how much lower the median is.
What differs from the SAMSUNG HS40
| Specification | SAMSUNG HS40 | SAMSUNG WS80A with Elite | GE Voluson P8 | GE Logiq P9 | GE Versana Balance | SIEMENS ACUSON S2000 HELX Touch | GE Voluson S6 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| System class | Mid-range | Expert | Mid-range | Mid-range | Mid-range | Expert | Mid-range |
| Transducer ports | 3 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| Monitor size | 21.5″ | No data | 15″ | 21″ | No data | No data | 19″ |
| Shear wave elastography | Optional | No data | No data | No data | No data | Yes | No data |
| Pulsed wave Doppler (PW) | Optional | No data | Yes | Yes | No data | No data | Yes |
| Continuous wave Doppler (CW) | Optional | Optional | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Only specifications where at least one alternative differs from the target are listed; bold marks a value that differs. "No data" means the specification is not recorded for that model, which is not the same as the machine not having it. Values come from current supplier listings, so options on an individual unit may vary. 12 more specifications match across all models that record them.

How we choose alternatives to the SAMSUNG HS40
Prices are compared within one condition only: the median of each machine in used condition against the median of the SAMSUNG HS40 in that same condition ($17,800, 12 priced offers). Both medians come from at least 5 current offers with a stated price. A machine makes the list when its median is at least 15% lower, but not more than 60% lower: a bigger gap usually means another generation or tier, not the same job for less money.
Every alternative also comes from a product line built for the same clinical work as the SAMSUNG HS40 (general imaging or OB/GYN and women's health): a cardiology system is not offered in place of an OB/GYN one, or the other way round. It is a cart-based (stationary) system, like the SAMSUNG HS40, of mid-range or entry-level class, and has 4D imaging and color Doppler, according to its recorded specifications and product line. We leave out platforms more than 8 years older than the SAMSUNG HS40: they cost less because they are older, not because they do the same job for less.
The order follows closeness to the SAMSUNG HS40: shared applications, matching specifications, class, price proximity and the number of current offers. We do not test machines or rate their quality; the final price and configuration are set in the proposal.
Frequently asked questions
What is the cheapest alternative to the SAMSUNG HS40?
Among the machines on this page, the GE Voluson S6 has the lowest median in used condition: $8,990, 50% below the SAMSUNG HS40 ($17,800). It is the cheapest, not the closest: by our criteria the closest to the SAMSUNG HS40 is the SAMSUNG WS80A with Elite. Medians come from current priced offers and move with configuration and transducers.
What do you give up with a cheaper alternative to the SAMSUNG HS40?
To be on this list, every alternative is built for general imaging or OB/GYN and women's health, has 4D imaging and color Doppler and is a cart-based (stationary) system, like the SAMSUNG HS40 — that does not change. What does change, according to recorded specifications: SAMSUNG WS80A with Elite — system class: Expert (Mid-range on the SAMSUNG HS40), transducer ports: 4 (3 on the SAMSUNG HS40); GE Voluson P8 — monitor size: 15″ (21.5″ on the SAMSUNG HS40), pulsed wave Doppler (PW): Yes (Optional on the SAMSUNG HS40), continuous wave Doppler (CW): Yes (Optional on the SAMSUNG HS40); GE Logiq P9 — monitor size: 21″ (21.5″ on the SAMSUNG HS40), pulsed wave Doppler (PW): Yes (Optional on the SAMSUNG HS40), continuous wave Doppler (CW): Yes (Optional on the SAMSUNG HS40); GE Versana Balance — continuous wave Doppler (CW): Yes (Optional on the SAMSUNG HS40). Where the table says "No data", the specification is not recorded for that model; it does not mean the machine lacks it. The exact configuration and transducers are confirmed in the proposal.
Why is the SAMSUNG UGEO HS60 not on the list?
Because in used condition it does not cost at least 15% less than the SAMSUNG HS40: comparing medians within the same condition, it is not a cheaper alternative.
