Verdict

A 13 kg drum is the main reason to look at the LG F4WR7031, and it suits a family that washes big loads often. Energy use is 44 kWh per 100 cycles, a strong figure for a machine this size. It has AI technology and an energy saving mode, which are less common extras. The 14 min fastest cycle is handy for a quick top-up wash. Wi-Fi and Smart Pairing connect it to a phone. The trade-off is water: 58 L per cycle is a lot, and the 240 min ECO programme is slow. It is also heavy at 73 kg, and the 61.5 cm width needs a proper gap. It suits a busy household that wants a big drum and does not mind waiting for eco washes.
