LG F1409TDS

I found the drum size good and we found it very stable on a solid floor, our previous LG machine was good and very reliable but did not like out of balance loads

I thought the instruction book could be much improved, the information is there but needs a bit of digging

We have yet to find anything bad to say about this machine as we have only had it for a short time, but it has exceeded our expectations up until now.

easy to use - nice big opening - takes plenty of clothes - we got it for the energy efficiency but it performs well - I like the steam cycle and please note it does spin only cycle - one of the previous reviews said it didnt

it is silent when in spin cycle and with an open plan kitchen diner and sitting room its a god send.

none really could say the annoying little tune it plays when it has finished its cycle, and off course the price a little expencive but for silence its worth it.

I like being able to select the temperature, additional rinses and spin speed. It seems to wash the clothes well, rinse them thoroughly (if additional rinses are selected) and spin speed.

It looks awful - far too much chrome and bling for my Victorian kitchen! I'm dismayed to find there isn't a separate rinse cycle and it seems to be wearing out my clothes - the hand wash cycle in particular isn't gentle enough and I will probably...

Large drum, can change the pre settings e.g 30 minute wash change spin to 1200 instead of set 600. Nice and quiet spin compared to my past machines.

if you accidently switch machine off, you have to start wash from beginning.

Steam Clean Option

The LG is incredibly quiet and easy to use. It is extremely efficient, and its 1400 spin speed reduces drying time considerably. It is undoubtedly the best washing machine we have owned.

Some of the washing cycles are very long - but if this is a consequence of the machine's high efficiency, it is a small price to pay.

I use cloth nappies and this machine washes them beautifully, they are softer and brighter than they were when I bought them! Because it's bigger I am using it less often.

Cycle times are long unless you use the 30 minute option which isn't good enough for heavily soiled things.

near silent, fast plenty of options for different washes.

can seem a little complicated at first.
