Review of LG washing machines with a 5 kg capacity

Single young people or, conversely, older couples often don't want to overpay for a large-capacity washing machine, and why bother when a 5 kg LG washing machine is perfectly sufficient. Indeed, when washing a small amount of laundry, it's easy to consider saving on a "home helper," and LG offers just that. In our review, we'll present the best models with a 5 kg drum capacity. We hope this information will make your choice easier.

LG-F10B8LD0

Looking at this washing machine's specifications, we can't say it's cutting-edge technology, yet consumers consistently choose it. Why?

1. The LG-F10B8LD0 has stood the test of time, and the technical solutions used in it have long proven their worth.
2. The machine has a removable lid, which makes it easy to install under a countertop.
3. The equipment is stable and reliable, powerful counterweights effectively counteract centrifugal force.
4. Direct drive model.
5. It has an excellent digital display and electronic controls.

The LG-F10B8LD0's many advantages are endless, even though it lacks some of the features found in the most modern washing machines. It spins at a speed of only up to 1000 rpm, but the spin quality is acceptable. It has a 5 kg load capacity. The width of the machine is 60 cm, the depth is 44 cm, and the height is 85 cm. The simple design immediately identifies it as a budget model, but the washing quality is excellent, thanks to 13 wash modes. The machine is very reasonably priced at $290.

LG FH-0B8LD6

This machine is similar to the one described above. It has the same 5 kg drum, the same slow spin cycle at up to 1000 rpm, direct drive, and a ton of safety features. The body is completely protected from water leaks, which is monitored by a special sensor. Other sensors monitor for imbalances and excessive foaming, while a smart program protects the control panel from child tampering.

The LG FH-0B8LD6 delivers excellent washing results. The key is to select the right program from the available 12 wash modes. Additional features worth noting include a drum cleaning system, a "Health Care" system, and a stain removal program. The loading opening diameter is 30 cm, and the door opens 180 degrees. This model's dimensions (W x D x H) are 60 x 44 x 85 cm. Price: $306.

LG F-80B8LD0

Need to fit your washing machine under a counter in your bathroom or kitchen? Choose the LG F-80B8LD0. Its removable top cover allows for seamless installation. The machine's design is classic, as is its white color. The electronic controls are intuitive, and the display is quite informative. It can wash up to 5 kg of laundry, and spins at 800 rpm, which is actually quite low. This model is quite quiet—72 dB maximum, according to the manufacturer.

The washer does a decent job, although the spin cycle could be more efficient. There's plenty to choose from, and the 14 programs were clearly developed by experienced professionals. There aren't many additional features, but the essentials are present. The delayed start feature is especially noteworthy. How much does the LG F-80B8LD0 cost? The average price is $300.

The manufacturer also announced additional functions: drum cleaning and the “Health Care” program.

LG FH-8B8LD6

Buying the LG FH-8B8LD6 is a great savings, as it costs just over $276. What kind of machine are you getting for that kind of money? The load capacity is already clear – 5 kg. It features state-of-the-art electronic controls that even allow you to connect your smartphone to the machine. And of course, it also includes a display.

The model is equipped with an inverter motor and a system direct drive, which adds considerably to its reliability. Unfortunately, laundry can only be spun at 800 rpm, which is quite weak by modern standards. But it does have an excellent selection of washing programs. Users say it's a great value for the money, and they're probably right. They also note the model's high stability and its heavy weight. By the way, how much does the LG FH-8B8LD6 weigh? According to the manufacturer, it weighs 59 kg.

LG FH-0B8LD7

While the previous models were decidedly budget-friendly, the LG FH-0B8LD7 boasts slightly more advanced features and a corresponding price. It's available for $384. It features a removable lid and a 5 kg drum, but it can also spin at up to 1000 rpm. The LG FH-0B8LD7 features an inverter motor, 13 wash programs, and is fully protected against leaks and other risks such as imbalances and excess foam.

What's remarkable is its 30 cm loading door with a lid that opens wide, as well as an interesting set of features. Specifically, it has a "Health Care" program, a drum cleaning function, and an anti-crease program. The machine uses about 48 liters of water per wash—which seems like a lot, but it washes and rinses clothes well, which is worth the extra 5-7 liters of valuable water.
