How we count it
Grades: Each review's own score is converted to 1–10; without one, we grade the review ourselves.
Weighting: Big test sites count more, short reviews half as much as full tests. A video review counts half.
Share: Too few models in this category have enough reviews yet, so reviews are shown but do not count in the overall score.

Third-party reviews

What we like about LG F4WB309YB

  • The motor is covered for 10 years.
  • The 58 kg body keeps it steady during spins.
  • Wi-Fi lets you start and check cycles from a phone.
  • AI technology is built in.
  • A 9 kg drum suits families with big loads.
  • The inverter motor is fitted for a longer-lasting drive.

What we don't like about LG F4WB309YB

  • The fastest cycle takes 30 min, which is slow for a quick wash.
  • The 75 dB spin noise is loud in a small flat.
  • The delay start can be set for no more than 19 h.
  • At 49 kWh per 100 cycles, the power bill is noticeable.
  • At 58 kg it is hard to move for cleaning behind it.

Verdict

Motor cover for 10 years is the first thing to notice on the LG F4WB309YB, a 9 kg machine for families who keep a washer for years. Wi-Fi lets you start and check a cycle from a phone, and AI technology is built in. The 58 kg body stays steady during spins, and the drum has room for a big load. Steam technology, a laundry detection system and a hygiene cycle are all included. The trade-offs are time and noise: the fastest cycle is 30 min, the spin noise is 75 dB, and the longest delay is 19 h. It uses 49 kWh per 100 cycles, so the power bill is noticeable. It suits a household that wants a long warranty and smart controls, and does not mind some spin noise.
