  • The spin reaches 1400 RPM at 71 dB.
  • Six spin speeds and 14 washing programs cover most loads.
  • Wi-Fi, AI technology, water jets and a Night/Silent option come built in.
  • Steam and a fast function help with quick refreshes.

What customers don't like about LG R7 F4R709TAIDD

  • The delay start stops at 19 h.
  • There is no anti-vibration design, so it may shake on an uneven floor.
  • No automatic dosing means you measure the detergent yourself.
  • No anti-crease function, so creased clothes need ironing.
  • A 9 kg drum takes less bedding in one go.

Verdict

LG R7 F4R709TAIDD is a sophisticated 9 kg washing machine that combines advanced technology with excellent performance features. This A-rated energy-efficient model stands out with its AI DD technology, which uses sensors to detect fabric weight and softness, leading to 18% better fabric protection through optimized wash motions. The machine runs quietly at 71 dB during spinning and includes TurboWash 360° with high-pressure nozzles that can reduce washing time by up to 20 minutes. It features six spin speed options ranging from 400 to 1400 RPM and consumes 44 kWh per 100 cycles. The smart capabilities include Wi-Fi connectivity, voice control through Amazon Alexa or Google Home, and smart diagnosis for troubleshooting. The machine comes with 14 washing programs including AI Wash, Cotton, Mixed Load, and Quick 14 for rapid washing. The TurboWash function saves up to 40% of wash time, and there's a specialized silent mode for night operation. On the downside, the machine lacks an anti-crease feature and hygiene cycle, uses 50 L of water per cycle, and has a 19-hour maximum delay start. The ECO cycle takes 228 minutes to complete, which is longer than some competitors. Despite these limitations, the machine's comprehensive feature set, including steam technology and advanced load balancing, makes it a strong choice for modern households.
