LG F 1495BDA

Enormous washing capacity ; Great choice of programmes ; Quiet and reliable Direct Drive inverter motor ; Top-notch spin efficiency

Most economical modes not obvious ; Half load (albeit 6kg) most efficient ; Slightly noisier than its smaller brother

*Annual figure based on the average UK household running 200 x 40 degree 80% max loads and 40 x 40 degree 40% half loads (50/50 split normal & eco).

Easy operation

Little noisy on max spin but as it's 1400rpm it's acceptable

When the cycle finishes, it actually plays a tune. Very pleasant.

Good cleaning results, looks amazing, very easy to use.

Haven't discovered any yet!

Would give this a ten for everything but we have only had it a week so build quality is hard to quantify, seems excellent though

It's very quiet, washes our clothes really well and they come out a lot softer. Really easy to use once you get used to it. It looks well cool in our kitchen under the counter. Very pleased with the machine, like the gadgets etc, such as being able to...

Personally I think that the washing times are a little too long, but that's just me, and probably because I am not sure of the times really, but apart from that, nothing bad really.

Quiet in use and we now only do 3 loads instead of 6.

Nothing really

Load size

nothing just heavy to move

Washing a duvet is a little tricky as you may find it "piles-up" in the machine. A quick open the door and re-arrange soon sorted it out. Washed fab tho.

Large load capacity, able to deal with bedding (duvets and comforters) as well as sports wear/uniform from 4 active (but messy) boys.
