Rating of the best LG washing machines

LG from South Korea continues to conquer an increasing number of users of its equipment around the world. Thanks to innovation and the use of the latest developments, combined with an affordable price, a huge number of people choose home appliances from this brand. And buyers of washing machines especially note the huge range of useful functions in LG devices, the convenient, practical design of any model included in the top machines from LG.

How to choose one or another LG washing machine model? Which one is better to buy? Based on many criteria, we have created for you a rating of LG washing machines. After studying our review, you can easily make your choice.

Ultra-narrow technology

For connoisseurs of maximum compactness, the ultra-thin LG FH0G6SD0 with its width of 36 centimeters and direct drive will definitely appeal. Despite its “minimalism,” the machine will surprise even the most experienced user with its characteristics: 4 kg of laundry capacity and 1000 spin speed. In addition, the machine adapts to the specific volume of laundry loaded, taking into account the set mode.

The machine is very gentle on fabrics due to a system of various rotation algorithms specially developed by LG experts. The model has an inverter engine, no belt. The drum turns the rotor directly. Due to the simplicity of the design, reliability, optimal performance and durability are achieved.

The machine performs self-cleaning automatically after a cycle of 30 washes. No chemical addition is required. The machine is controlled electronically through a rich touch display. Advantages of the model:

1. 13 washing programs.
2. Almost silent operation provided that it is “correctly” professionally installed.
3. The engine has a long warranty period of 10 years (this condition applies to all direct drive models).

There are also disadvantages. If there is a “rinse + spin” mode, there is no “spin” mode. Increased requirements for correct installation - due to the small size and low weight, persistent vibrations appear in the presence of the slightest signs of uneven installation. The machine’s capacity is not the greatest; it won’t be possible to wash large items.

For an ordinary family, the LG F-80B8MD is suitable. Despite the obvious affordability of the price, you will be pleased with such characteristics as a loading capacity of 5.5 kg, a case depth of 45 cm and a spin speed of 800 rpm. At the same time, the number of functions is impressive.

Water consumption and washing time are determined by the machine independently, based on the volume of laundry loaded and the set mode. In addition, the machine itself will regulate the amount of water required for washing. The density of the linen is assessed specially. “6 care movements” system: depending on the density of the laundry, the desired operating mode of the drum is selected. Problems that arise in the device can be reported automatically to the manufacturer’s support service using a regular smartphone.

At low temperatures, a “boiling effect” is available, which allows you to process things without actually boiling. Drum “with bubbles”: provides the water entering the machine with special bubbles, which allows you to remove dirt better and faster. There is a special mode “Health Care”. It ensures complete rinsing of even the smallest residues of laundry detergents, which eliminates the occurrence of allergies. The advantages of the model can be considered:

• wide selection of washing modes;
• affordability;
• minimum noise level;
• interface accessibility and electronic control principle;
• The washing progress is shown on a special display.

The disadvantage is that the maximum spin speed is only 800 rpm. Also, users don't like the design. Some buyers consider it rustic, although not all consumers share this opinion.

Models with drying

For those who appreciate special comfort, in the form of a drying mode, the LG F12U2HDM1N and LG F1496AD3 washing machines are suitable. Both devices are direct drive.

LG F12U2HDM1N is extremely compact in size - 45 cm deep. It is quite suitable for a standard family of four people. At the same time, it washes and dries. This saves a lot of time. In spin mode, the drum reaches a maximum of 1200 rpm. The number of washing programs is fourteen. Includes a special “quick wash” Turbo Wash mode. With this program, washing is done in half an hour, which is very convenient when you need to quickly wash lightly soiled items. Just like in models with an ultra-thin body, there is a “boiling without heating” mode. The drum fills the water with special bubbles, which allows you to remove dirt better and faster.

When connected to the Internet, the model allows you to search and download additional washing programs produced by the manufacturer. Modes are updated constantly. This technology is called Tag On. At a fairly high price, the model fully justifies itself due to the number of programs and steam drying.

The main advantages of the model can be considered: extremely positive consumer reviews, confirming the maximum efficiency of the machine and its popularity, the convenience of placing washing and drying machines in the home space, a wide selection of programs for both washing and drying.

Unfortunately, the machine is also not without its shortcomings. It does not have programs for rinsing and spinning. The power button functions in “child lock” mode. The declared drying quality is not available at maximum load - ideal drying can only be expected when processing two to four kg of laundry.

It is impossible to dry clothes with lint - the lint will simply remain in the washing machine.

LG F1496AD3 can no longer be called just a washing machine in the usual sense, but a real unit that allows you to both wash and dry. Its characteristics will really impress even the owners of mini-hotels and catering establishments. With its help you can service a laundry that operates on small volumes.

With a depth of only 55 cm, the weight of the loaded laundry reaches 9.7 kilograms, 1400 spin speeds. With all this, the machine is as stable as possible and does not vibrate. There are eight modes. There is a program “Intensive 60”, which allows you to wash the most common stains in an hour. There are also modes for rinsing and spinning, and a special mode for washing children's clothes. Water temperature – 20 – 95 degrees, depending on the set mode and the task set by the user.

As in the previously described models, the drum allows you to add bubbles to the water, which improves the quality of the wash. If the load is incomplete, the machine itself will adjust the washing efficiency, taking into account saving water and energy. The so-called “intelligent washing” algorithm is activated: the machine will weigh the amount of laundry and determine how much water is needed, and calculate the required amount of electricity.

There are four programs for drying clothes: “Standard” - quickly, cold water is used; “Eco” - no water is used at all, clothes are dried with hot air at temperatures up to 80 degrees; “Delicate” - the same as in the “Eco” mode, only the air warms up to 70 degrees; “For ironing” - the laundry does not dry completely, remains slightly damp. The model has many advantages.

1. Economical even with minimal load.
2. Minimum noise and vibration levels due to direct drive.
3. The machine itself continuously monitors faults and displays errors on the display.
4. When the alert signals are turned off, you can wash them in the dark; it will not interfere with sleep due to its almost complete noiselessness.

There aren't that many downsides. There is no washing mode at 30 degrees (this is important for washing, for example, cotton items so that they do not “shrink”). The minimum load volume is 1 kg, you cannot wash less.

Narrow models

Among the models in this group, LG F-2J7HS2S and LG FH-2G6WD2 should be highlighted. The LG F-2J7HS2S model has a width of 45 cm. At the same time, it has all the necessary attributes of a modern washing machine. It makes it possible to load up to 7 kg of laundry, spins at 1200 rpm, and has a drum with bubbles. Among the features of the model, it is worth noting the presence of the True Steam function - a steam function. There is a “Refresh” mode, it allows you not to wash your clothes with water and powders at all, odors are simply neutralized and the clothes are smoothed.

A special “trick” “Washing using an accelerated program” allows you to wash laundry in 14 minutes.

It is permissible to machine wash large duvets made of down, with any pile. You can throw in laundry directly during washing, download the application and update the machine software, adding new programs released by the manufacturer.

The LG FH-2G6WD2, while affordable, has all the necessary arsenal of additional options for effective washing. She has: “Hypoallergenic wash”; "Intense 60"; "Quick 30." The machine allows loading of 6.5 kg and spinning at 1200 rpm. Just like all LG models, the controls are touch-sensitive.

Machines with a standard body

In this group, it is worth noting the LG F-4J9VS2S and LG F-1096TD3 models. Both of the best LG washing machine models in this group are full-size. The first has 13 washing programs, the second has 14. The first model washes and dries, the basic washing parameters are higher. At the same time, it costs significantly more. LG F-4J9VS2S washes a whole heap of laundry - nine kilograms, and it can spin clothes at a gigantic speed of up to 1400 rpm. The LG F-1096TD3 has the same characteristics, only it can wash up to 8 kg of laundry

Stylish appearance, quiet operation and amazing washing quality: these are the advantages that both models have in common. The only downside is the high price, but in essence this is not a disadvantage, because you pay for functionality and quality. Otherwise, the LG F-4J9VS2S and LG F-1096TD3 have all the usual described functions inherent in devices of this brand. Which one is better to buy is up to you to decide based on your needs.

What makes LG washing machines stand out?

Any user of an LG washing machine knows that his “home assistant” is equipped with an inverter engine. The unit is so reliable that the manufacturer gives it a 10-year, and in some cases 20-year, warranty. The quality and reliability of LG washing machines are legendary, but technology is also present.There is a function “6 care movements”, “quick wash”, “steam function”, and what about connecting to the Internet and smartphone and automatic monitoring of faults.

What can I say, even if you are not a fan of LG washing machines, you can’t help but pay attention to the best models. Many would like to have such machines in their home, it’s a pity the price tag “bites”!
