Third-party reviews

What we like about LG F14X56WHST

  • Energy use of 31 kWh per 100 cycles keeps power bills low.
  • The 68 L drum and 11 kg capacity take big loads.
  • The 71 dB spin is quiet enough for an open-plan flat.
  • AI technology adjusts the wash to suit each load.
  • Water jets spread water over the whole load.
  • Smart Pairing and Wi-Fi link it to a phone.

What we don't like about LG F14X56WHST

  • The fastest cycle takes 39 min, so a quick wash is not very quick.
  • The ECO cycle runs for 240 min, which is long on a busy day.
  • Delay start stops at 19 h, so you cannot set it days ahead.
  • Only 12 washing programs means fewer specialist cycles.

Verdict

31 kWh per 100 cycles is the main reason to look at the LG F14X56WHST, a premium machine for a family that washes every day. An 11 kg capacity and a 68 L drum take bulky duvets without a squeeze. The spin is 71 dB, quiet enough for an open-plan flat. AI technology picks the settings for each load, and water jets spread water over the laundry to help the wash. Wi-Fi and Smart Pairing link it to a phone, and a self-cleaning function cleans the drum itself. The fastest cycle takes 39 min, the ECO cycle 240 min, and there are only 12 washing programs. Delay start also goes no further than 19 h. It suits a home that runs the machine most days and wants low power bills more than quick washes.
