Don't believe you can buy a 7 kg washing machine for under $450? Consider the standard LG F12B8QD5 direct-drive washing machine.

Looking for the catch, we decided to consult reviews from owners of these machines. Perhaps they know some clever tricks and would like to share them with us?

Positive opinions

I snagged this machine with a great deal when I traded in my old machine. I've been enjoying my laundry for nine months now. The 7 kg drum can really cram a lot of clothes in, or even wash large items. My old machine wouldn't fit my husband's down jacket; apparently it was too big for the 5 kg drum. A standard LG F12B8QD5 washing machine doesn't have these problems. I even tried it. wash the tent in the washing machineThe result is amazing, no matter how much I toiled with my hands. In short, this machine gets a five-star rating.

I'd been dreaming of a washing machine like this for ages, but I always thought I'd run out of money. Then, a friend and I happened to be at an appliance store and saw the LG F12B8QD5. It immediately caught my eye with the number seven on the detergent drawer cap. And when I looked at the other specifications and then the price, all my doubts vanished. I thought, this is the machine I've been looking for, and most importantly, it's within my budget.

The machine lived up to all my expectations, the washing and spinning quality is high, the programs work like a Swiss watch, everything is super!

When shopping, I considered three washing machines: Bosch, Electrolux, and LG. I bought the LG F12B8QD5 because at the time, it offered the best value for money. I'm glad that it has a half load and automatic laundry weighing, which allows you to save water and electricity. The children's clothing mode was also very useful. I'm happy with the purchase.

Six months ago, I was really worried about buying a washing machine. Since I'm very tech-savvy, I asked a friend to help. We looked at about a dozen machines, including this one. Honestly, I was leaning more toward a Bosch machine—maybe the ads swayed me, I don't know; I wanted German quality. But my friend insisted on an LG direct-drive washing machine. I haven't regretted our choice of the LG F12B8QD5 at all; it's a dream machine.

• Protection from child interference.
• Direct drive, which increases the service life of the machine.
• Very capacious drum.
• Beautiful design.
• Very high quality rinsing and spinning at high speed.
• A variety of useful washing programs of varying durations make it easy to choose what you need.

I won't use any other washing machine from now on. From now on, I'm a fan of LG appliances.

I see only advantages in this washing machine.

• Firstly, the design is universal and will suit any interior design style.
• Secondly, the load capacity is 7 kg, so you can wash things that you would previously have dry-cleaned.
• Thirdly, the noise, even when the drum rotates at 1200 rpm, the machine is not too loud.
• Fourthly, there are various functions like auto-weighing, which is also good, although I don’t understand the purpose of all this.
• And fifthly, the washing machine isn't expensive; I got mine for $420. Draw your own conclusions.

When I bought the machine, I was amazed at how smooth the drum was inside. You could run your hand over the inside and feel no burrs. My old Indesit 2296XW, which is now working at my country house, is a different story. The inside of the drum is like a grater, you could use it to shred vegetables. So, how could laundry get damaged?

I also liked the LG F12B8QD5 for its appearance and the small display that shows the program progress. Of course, the main draw is the drum capacity—it holds a whopping 7 kg, so you can cram in a generous amount. What I used to wash in two loads is now done in one. It's a clear savings in time, water, and electricity. There's also a delayed start feature, which I also use successfully.

Negative opinions

Valentina, Vladivostok

I used a Bosch washing machine for 14 years, and it didn't make it to its fifteenth birthday a little less than a year later. When the repairman told me I couldn't return it, I mourned it like a pet. I bought a standard LG F12B8QD5 washing machine instead and was very disappointed.

It seems like a modern, sophisticated car, it should be incredibly cool, but in reality it’s a dud.

My old Bosch did a better job washing clothes. The LG leaves soap suds on clothes, even though it seems to rinse thoroughly and thoroughly. It's very noisy when spinning, but that's tolerable. But why it makes that annoying gurgling sound when filling with water is beyond me; Bosch doesn't do that. Besides everything else, after washing at a high temperature, the drum starts to smell like burnt rubber.

Pavel, Verkhnyaya Pyshma

This machine is terrible. During the spin cycle at 1200 rpm, it fell over on its side, crushing several bottles of liquid detergent. The mess in the bathroom was absolutely horrific. At least the inlet hose didn't come off, otherwise we would have flooded the neighbors downstairs. Why did I buy this machine? It was immediately clear that these "axes" are made in Russia, and nothing good is made here these days.

After the second wash, the door on this machine broke. It simply wouldn't close. The repairman arrived a week later. Even though he fixed the machine in 30 minutes, I'm still unhappy because I had to go without it for a whole week. Now I've developed a new problem: the display is glitching. The machine seems to be washing normally, but instead of useful information, the display shows dots and some kind of bars. I need to call a repairman again; I'm fed up with this washing machine.
