What we like about LG F4WR5009A6M

  • Duvets and several towels fit in one 9 kg load.
  • The 1400 RPM spin takes out much of the water before drying.
  • Energy class A is a good rating for everyday use.
  • The motor carries a 10-year warranty.
  • Steam helps freshen clothes between washes.
  • AI technology is built in as an extra.

What we don't like about LG F4WR5009A6M

  • Only 5 washing programs leave little choice for delicate or special fabrics.
  • It is self-standing, so it cannot be fitted under a counter.
  • Steam refreshes clothes, but it does not replace a full wash.
  • A full 9 kg load is heavy to lift out of the drum.

Verdict

People who wash big loads and hate splitting them up will like the LG F4WR5009A6M, a black front-loader with a 9 kg drum. Its spin reaches 1400 RPM, which takes out much of the water before the dryer or the washing line. Energy class A is a good rating, and the motor has a 10-year warranty. Steam is built in, handy for freshening a shirt between washes. AI technology is the feature that sets this one apart. The trade-off is choice: there are only 5 washing programs, so delicate or special fabrics get fewer settings. It is self-standing, so it works in a kitchen or utility room. It suits a buyer who washes often and wants a big drum and a long warranty from a simple machine.
