Third-party reviews

What we like about LG F4NX5009TKC

  • Energy use of 29 kWh per 100 cycles keeps bills low.
  • A 68 L drum takes a large load.
  • The 71 dB spin is easy on a late wash.
  • Water jets and AI technology are included.
  • Wi-Fi lets you start or check a wash from a phone.
  • Smart diagnosis helps track down faults.

What we don't like about LG F4NX5009TKC

  • There are only 12 washing programs.
  • There is no overflow protection, so a fault can spill water onto the floor.
  • There is no AquaStop system.
  • The delay start can be set only up to 19 h ahead.
  • There is no automatic dosing system.

Verdict

A 68 L drum and 29 kWh per 100 cycles make the LG F4NX5009TKC a sensible choice for a busy kitchen. A 9 kg load has room to move, and the spin runs at a modest 71 dB, so late washes are less of a bother. Water jets and AI technology are included, and Wi-Fi lets you start or check a wash from a phone. Smart diagnosis is a useful extra if something goes wrong. The fastest cycle takes 14 min for a quick load, and the spin can drop to 400 RPM for delicates. The trade-offs are 12 programs, no overflow protection and no AquaStop system. It suits a family that runs the machine every day and cares more about power use and a big drum than a long list of cycles.
