Third-party reviews

What we like about LG F2X50S8TLB

  • 33 kWh per 100 cycles keeps running costs low.
  • The spin runs at 71 dB, which keeps the noisiest stage calmer.
  • Wi-Fi and the LG ThinQ app let you control a wash from your phone.
  • Hygiene, anti-allergy, wool and outdoor cycles cover more fabrics.
  • A 48 cm depth suits a narrow utility room.
  • The Mini Load function suits a single shirt or a small load.

What we don't like about LG F2X50S8TLB

  • Ten programs means fewer settings to choose from.
  • The delay start stops at 19 h, short of a full day.
  • Spin-drying class B means clothes leave the machine a little damp.
  • An 8 kg drum is small for a large household.

Verdict

Small bills are the main pull of the LG F2X50S8TLB, which uses 33 kWh per 100 cycles. At 48 cm deep and 59 kg, it fits a narrow utility room and stays put during spin. The 8 kg load suits a couple or a small family. Steam is built in, and Wi-Fi with the LG ThinQ app lets you start or check a wash from your phone. The spin runs at 71 dB, and the hygiene, anti-allergy and wool cycles cover more fabrics. The limits are ten programs and a delay start that reaches 19 h. The Mini Load function suits small washes such as a single shirt. It suits a first home where space and running costs matter most, and a large household with bigger loads should look elsewhere.
