Third-party reviews

What we like about LG F4A10S8NDK

  • An 8 kg drum takes a good weekly load.
  • The 47 cm depth fits shallow spaces.
  • The laundry detection system adjusts the cycle to the load.
  • Water jets are included, which is an uncommon extra.
  • The LG ThinQ app lets you check and control it from a phone.
  • The anti-allergy and gentle cycles suit delicate or sensitive clothes.

What we don't like about LG F4A10S8NDK

  • Only 8 programmes means fewer choices for special fabrics.
  • The fastest cycle takes 30 min.
  • 8 kg is too small for a large duvet in one load.
  • Many features need the LG ThinQ app, so it suits buyers who are happy with apps.

Verdict

If you like controlling appliances from your phone or by voice, the LG F4A10S8NDK suits you. It holds 8 kg of washing and is only 47 cm deep, so it fits shallow spaces where deeper machines do not. Its 60 kg body keeps it steady during the spin, and the 1400 RPM spin gets water out quickly. The laundry detection system sets the cycle to the load, and the AI technology and water jets are less common extras. The smart diagnosis function helps when something goes wrong. The LG ThinQ app gives remote control. The trade-offs are choice and time: only 8 programmes, and the fastest cycle takes 30 min. It suits a home that wants a smart, steady machine and does not need many programmes.
