  • There is no cold wash setting, which matters for delicate fabrics.
  • Anti-stain and anti-crease functions are missing.
  • Delay start stops at 19 h.
  • Each cycle uses 50 L of water.
  • There is no automatic dosing, so you measure the detergent yourself.

Verdict

Steam and Wi-Fi come with the 9 kg LG F4WR709G, a modern machine for a home with a lot of washing. Its energy use is modest at 44 kWh per 100 cycles, and the spin is quiet at 71 dB. Steam helps freshen clothes between washes, and the laundry detection system adjusts the wash to the load. Pause and add lets you slip in a forgotten sock halfway through. Wi-Fi lets you check or start a wash from a phone. There is no cold wash setting, and the anti-stain and anti-crease functions are missing. The delay start tops out at 19 h, and each cycle uses 50 L of water. It suits a busy household that does many loads and wants a modern machine, provided cold washes are not a daily need.
