    The first number in the "Best rankings" table above indicates the product's rank among all products in our database, while the second number (in brackets) represents its rank among available products only. | The "average product" rating mentioned below reflects the median values calculated across all attributes for products within this category.

    Verdict

    The LG V3 F4WV312S0E is a large-capacity 12 kg washing machine with an 81-litre drum, featuring innovative AI DD technology for wash cycle optimisation and 18% better fabric protection. The direct-drive inverter motor and load balancing system deliver reliable performance, while the Smart Diagnosis function allows immediate problem-solving via smartphone. The machine operates quietly during spinning with only 71 dB and integrates steam technology for superior results. However, it has significant consumption figures, with 62 kWh per 100 cycles and 57 litres of water per cycle. Its limited 14-program configuration, including just a single 14-minute quick cycle, is a drawback, as is the lack of features like foam control, consumption statistics, anti-crease, and a hygiene cycle.
