Andrew, Devizes Retired

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Quiet and efficient. Particularly impressed with the way it senses the load on the cottons cycle and adjusts the cycle time accordingly. Admittedly, by the time it died our old machine (not an LG!) was so loud it was like standing next to Concorde at full throttle, but this seems incredibly quiet even when spinning.

Gaynor, Calder Vale Busy mum or dad

Score 10.0/10

Good points:: Sturdy design. Easy to choose cycle and make alterations re spin speed etc. Wash times not too long and there is always the 60 min or 30 min cycle if in a hurry or time saver option to use. Child lock useful and easy to set. Turns itself off so not left on standby if doing a late evening wash. Generally very pleased with purchase.
Bad points:: A little loud when spinning but this only takes a few minutes so not a problem.

Product Features

Construction	Freestanding
Built-in machines have a cabinet door attached to the front of them so that they look like the rest of your kitchen. Freestanding machines can be seen and the machine can be placed in any position in your kitchen.
Drum size (Kilograms)	8

Type of loading	Front loading
This refers to where you can load the washing into the machine. Front loading is when the door is on the front of the machine and top loading is when you put washing in through an opening at the top of the machine. When purchasing a top loading machine, make sure you have enough room to open the hatch (top loading machines cannot be placed under a worktop). When looking for front loading machines, take note of which way the door opens so that you can make sure you have enough room to take washing in and out of the machine.
Energy efficiency	A**
The more efficient the product, the less energy it needs and the more you get for your money. ‘A’ rated products are the most efficient and ‘G’ rated products are the least efficient.
Width in cm	60

Height in cm	85
The distance from the very top of the product to the very bottom.
Depth in cm	59

Noise level (Decibels)	54
Measures how loud the machine is. For quieter machines, look for models with a noise level under 60 decibles.
