    The first number in the "Best rankings" table above indicates the product's rank among all products in our database, while the second number (in brackets) represents its rank among available products only. | The "average product" rating mentioned below reflects the median values calculated across all attributes for products within this category.

    Verdict

    LG V5WD96H1 brings together intelligent care and everyday practicality, handling up to 9 kg of laundry for washing and 6 kg for drying. With AI DD technology that adjusts drum movements based on fabric type, a steam function that helps remove allergens, and ThinQ™ connectivity for remote control and cycle updates, it’s well-suited for busy routines. The Direct Drive inverter motor operates quietly at 54 dB during drying and comes backed by a 10-year warranty. Useful extras include the Add Garment feature, favorite program memory, and real-time consumption stats. On the downside, it consumes 359 kWh per 100 combined cycles and 90 liters of water, which is higher than many models. It also lacks an anti-crease cycle, has only two drying programs, and no foam control or AquaStop system. Despite these, the range of smart functions and solid wash performance make it a capable choice for households prioritizing convenience and fabric care.
