LG FH0C3ND Washing Machine Reviews

Sales experience has shown that during the economic downturn, consumers are abandoning the pursuit of sophisticated washing machines and increasingly turning to simpler, more reliable models. Manufacturers are trying to respond more flexibly to demand, offering more affordable appliances. Recently, we took a look at just such a machine – the LG FH0C3ND washing machine. What are its advantages and disadvantages, and is it worth buying at all? No one can answer these questions more truthfully than consumers themselves.

Opinions of the stronger half

I needed an affordable, roomy, and compact washing machine. Naturally, I wanted it to be at least mid-range quality. The LG FH0C3ND met these requirements, so I decided to buy it. It fits perfectly in the bathroom, perfectly in the space I'd planned, has a 6 kg capacity, and is extremely easy to use. I'd also like to point out a few other things.

1. There's no display, but it's not really needed since the washing machine is automatic. Some people might find it fun to monitor the program progress on the display, but I don't need it at all.
2. The sound notification is loud enough and not obnoxious.
3. Direct drive. This is a feature of all LG washing machines. This technical feature significantly extends the service life of such machines.
4. Correct selection of washing programs and the ability to turn on rinsing and spinning separately.
5. There is a child protection system, although it is a bit crooked and does not block the on/off button, which my children constantly use.
6. It spins wet clothes really well, yet gently.

This model has an adjustable spin cycle and the drum can rotate at a speed of up to 1000 rpm.

7. It looks simple, but the design is universal. It fits our bathroom perfectly.
8. Easy installation. I installed the washing machine myself and didn't need to buy any additional parts.
9. Although the machine is budget-friendly, it does have some useful features that help improve washing, such as automatic weighing and half-load.
10. The LG FH0C3ND is a bit noisy in operation, but it doesn't bother us too much.

I've come to the conclusion that it's a good machine. It's definitely worth the money I paid for it. And if you ignore the little details, it's a truly magnificent piece of equipment. Incidentally, it seems very reliable, at least judging by the build quality and the material used for the case.

The machine doesn't have a touchscreen, which immediately pleased me. The price is reasonable, just right for me. It saves energy and water, while washing well. It looks simple, but it's reliable and practical. I think I made a good purchase; I recommend this washing machine to everyone, well, maybe not everyone, then at least to most.

Igor, Moscow

When my wife and I were choosing a washing machine, we decided on three criteria: it had to be affordable, have a child safety lock, and have a drum that weighed at least 6 kg. We liked two machines: this one and another, an Indesit. We ultimately chose the LG because the Indesit didn't have a child safety lock, and our youngest daughter is constantly getting into the machine and trying to tinker with things. We were pleased with our choice. The machine turned out to be very good; it's probably our best choice together.

The LG FH0C3ND is a good machine, solid, nothing extra. It's been working flawlessly for three years now. I wish I had more machines like this, otherwise I can't find a decent dishwasher. I threw it out two weeks ago. Candy CDP 4609 dishwasherIt's so upsetting. I need to find something new.

Ivan, Rostov-on-Don

A modern washing machine without a display is unimaginable. Why even spend money on it? My sister bought an LG FH0C3ND and still raves about it. What good is a machine that doesn't interact with the user? And what if it breaks down?

Alexander, Yekaterinburg

I like that you can wash large, bulky items in this machine. I recently washed a large blanket and thought it wouldn't spin properly, but no, it did. The blanket dried without losing its shape. I'll try washing a jacket in a few days, and I think it will be fine too. It's a good washing machine; the Korean engineers have thought it through well.

Women's opinions

Ksenia, Novosibirsk

We've been using it for a year now; we bought it at a very low price, and we see no downsides. What I like most is the machine's spacious drum. A drum like that is needed for washing large items. Small items can be washed in batches over 2-3 loads, but a jacket or blanket needs to be shoved in all at once. If I only put a few things in the washer, I turn on a half load, this way I can save water.

Julia, Vladimir

The machine is passable, but I'm not thrilled. Firstly, it often freezes right before the end of the wash cycle, after the spin cycle. It can hang there for a long time until I turn it off with the button and force the door open. Secondly, it's very picky when starting the spin cycle, categorically refusing to spin some items, like my husband's jacket, even though it washed, rinsed, and spun my jacket without a problem. I haven't noticed any other downsides yet, and maybe there aren't any, but I'll keep an eye on them. For now, I'd give it a four out of five.

Tamara, Penza

The washing machine is unreliable. It washes and rinses poorly. Clothes smell of detergent after washing, and there are noticeable traces of undissolved granules left on the clothes. A month after buying it, the door seal came loose, preventing the door from closing. Luckily, my handy neighbor helped me put it back. The only good thing is that I got it cheap.

As my neighbor explained to me, when assembling the machine they forgot to put on the clamp, that’s why the cuff came out.

Irina, Irkutsk

I decided to buy this machine after reading expert reviews online. The store offered me a good discount, so I was happy with the price. The only problem was that the LG FH0C3ND was out of stock, and I had to wait 10 days for delivery. After some hesitation, I made the payment and was enjoying my new machine within a week.

LG washing machines are truly good. Even though I got a budget model, it's built well. There's no rattling or clanking, and it stays perfectly still during the wash cycle. It washes quite well and isn't very noisy.

Svetlana, Tomsk

It washes flawlessly, sometimes even perfectly. I've been using this machine for a year and a half and can't find a single bad word to say about it. It's very reliable and easy to use, has all the necessary features, and is inexpensive.

Lyudmila, Ivanovo

I've owned three automatic washing machines in my life. The LG FH0C3ND is the most basic. It's roomy, economical, doesn't break down, and looks good. Plus, it's completely uncluttered—it's a real people machine.
