Which LG washing machine to choose

All LG equipment is famous for its reliability and excellent quality. Consumers try to choose an LG washing machine according to the required technical characteristics and cost. To find out what kind of equipment is needed, it will be better to ask precise and correctly asked questions to the sales manager or a thorough analysis of the parameters of washing equipment, as well as the functions that it is capable of performing.

What to look for when choosing?

Buying a washing machine is a matter that must be approached seriously and responsibly. All models have different parameters, and it is these that you must initially pay attention to before deciding which model of washing machine to buy. Different models of LG washing machines may differ in the following parameters:

1. drum size and method of loading things into the washing machine;
2. standard functions and types of programs;
3. presence or absence of additional functions;
4. noisy operation of the washing machine;
5. energy efficiency of equipment;
6. engine power and type;
7. certain classes of washing and spinning clothes.

What kind of download is required?

Standard design parameters include the actual dimensions of the washing machine. They also include the loading method, which can be vertical or frontal, and the weight of the loaded laundry. All these parameters are selected individually, since there are often situations where there is simply no room for a large washing machine.

Before buying washing equipment, you need to choose a place for installation and take the appropriate measurements.Having measured the width and depth, it is necessary to measure the height of the space under the washing machine. Only having the necessary measurements can you go in search of a model that fits the parameters. It is also worth considering that the larger the actual size of the equipment, the more items can be loaded in one washing process. For a family of four, the ideal choice is such a machine with a maximum load of 5 kg.

You should not take equipment with a reserve volume. The minimum is not stated anywhere, but if you wash few things in it, the quality of the wash deteriorates significantly. The drum must be at least 2/3 full. This allows the fabrics to rub optimally, and therefore things are washed better.

Nowadays, washing machines are produced that can wash from 3 to 12 kg of clothes in one process, and therefore everyone can choose the optimal technique.

Programs and features

The variety of programs, as well as their number, the presence of additional functions and the presence of special modes - all this significantly affects the practicality and ease of use of the washing machine. When choosing a special mode, the user does not have to worry about things being damaged, since special programs will allow the equipment to wash the laundry according to the specified mode.

Often people choose a washing machine that has standard programs and functions. Many simply do not know how to use additional features, and the Korean manufacturer offers a huge number of them. The functionality may be huge, but is it worth buying a machine stuffed with various additional functions?

Today's washing machines can contain about 20 programs.Cooler models are packed with many additional functions that are sometimes not used by humans at all. Standard automatic machines cannot boast of such functionality, because they contain only 8-10 washing functions.

If standard washing modes are enough for a person to fully satisfy his needs, then he shouldn’t overpay when buying a washing machine with more advanced functionality. It is best to prescribe the necessary modes before going to the store to buy equipment. In the huge assortment, you can quickly get lost and buy more expensive equipment with functions that you simply don’t have to use. All standard washing machine programs can be divided into the following groups.

• Programs about fabric type. Here the user can select a specific type of wash depending on the fabric of the product. For example, it is optimal to wash outerwear in the “water-repellent effect” mode, and delicate items in the “wash delicate fabrics” mode. Also in standard washing equipment programs by fabric type there are: cotton, baby clothes, synthetics, silk and others;
• Programs according to the intensity of the washing process. The intensity depends on the degree of pollution. For very dirty items, it is better to use soaking or boiling. There is also an intensive wash that allows you to wash your clothes thoroughly. For less dirty items, you can use a bio wash or quick wash. If necessary, you can simply rinse the laundry.

In addition to standard programs, all washing machines may have additional functions. A convenient easy ironing mode helps avoid wrinkles and wrinkles. Economical washing allows you to significantly save water and electricity.There is also hand washing of woolen items, drainage, a special anti-allergenic mode and much more.

LG automatic washing machines may also contain other practical and useful functions. Many of them, for example, such as Aqua stop, allow you to leave the washing machine unattended. Even if a leak occurs, the program will stop washing on its own, which means there is no need to be afraid of a flood.

Safe modes are indispensable in the operation of a washing machine. “Child lock” protects the washing machine from reprogramming during operation. Even if the child gets to the equipment, he will not be able to change the set washing program or open the door. The “imbalance console” allows you to optimally distribute the laundry throughout the drum. This allows you to significantly reduce vibration during operation and has a positive effect on the service life of washing equipment.

Also, almost all washing machines have the necessary programs with which you can wash clothes conveniently and economically. “Automatic dosing” will avoid excessive water consumption, and the Aqua sensor itself will determine the need for additional rinsing.

With these additional functions you can delay the start of the washing process or delay the rinse.

Energy efficiency, noise, washing and spin class

The technical documentation for washing equipment, as well as on its body, always indicates the energy consumption class. It is presented in Latin letters, and is classified from A to C. Despite the fact that this indicator may vary, today washing machines of class A or higher are often on sale.Class C equipment is also available, but it is mainly represented by models that have a drying function.

The energy consumption between class A and class C washing equipment is significantly different. Class C equipment consumes at least 12 watts per hour more, and this is a significant cost. With a standard washing mode and maximum load, a class A+++ washing machine consumes 15 watts/hour. Class C equipment with the same wash will consume at least 27 W/hour.

The noise level is measured in DB (decibel) and is also indicated in the technical specifications of the washing machine. This indicator consists of a pair of numbers, the first of which indicates the noise level during the washing process, and the second - the same indicator during the spin cycle. The performance of a good washing machine should not exceed 55/70 dB. Quieter equipment with a reduced noise level are washing machines with an inverter motor.

Washing efficiency indicates its class. Washing equipment of class “A” has the highest performance and successfully copes with the removal of even the most severe contaminants. The washing class ranges from “A” to “G”, but if the class is slightly reduced, you will not be able to see the difference.

Items washed in a washing machine with washing class “A” are practically no different from things washed in a machine with washing class “B”.

Spin varies in speed and class parameters. Speed ​​is indicated in maximum revolutions per minute. The minimum spin speed is 400 rpm, and the maximum does not exceed 1800 rpm. The most optimal option would be the middle option, capable of spinning at a speed of 1000 rpm. The spin class is designated from A to D and indicates the residual moisture in already wrung out items (from 45% to 72%).

Several best models

LG FH0G6SD0. A good and fairly compact washing machine that has all the necessary set of standard functions. Its width is only 36 cm, but it can hold up to 4 kg of things. The spin is average and is 1000 rpm.
