LG F1296ND3 Washing Machine Reviews

Some people prefer simple, budget-friendly automatic washing machines. Others chase sophisticated models that cost as much as a good used car. And still others need a middling model that washes well and lasts at least a few years without breaking down. The slim LG F1296ND3 washing machine is perfect for this third category of buyers. Whether these machines are truly good or not will depend on the buyers themselves, but it's already known that experts give this model positive reviews.

Positive opinions

Timofey, Tolyatti

To choose the right washing machine, I read customer reviews on the pages of one of the largest online stores. I want to thank everyone who shared their opinions. I learned a lot from them, and that's what ultimately led me to this washing machine.

I'm happy with everything about it, especially its large load capacity and high-quality washing results. I take good care of the machine: after each wash, I wipe it with a cloth, and after three washes, I unscrew and clean the dust filter. For a year of operation, the machine did not pull off a single serious trick. I can confidently recommend this machine to all small and medium-sized families. For families of six or more, this machine may not be suitable; it's better to choose a machine with a larger capacity.

This machine is suitable for washing outerwear. Even if I stuff the largest jacket in the drum, it washes it without a problem.

I used it for about a week LG F1096SD3 washing machineUnfortunately, it had a serious manufacturing defect, so I had to return it, pay extra, and get this machine. In retrospect, I'm actually grateful for this, as my new machine is superior to the F1096SD3 in every way. Firstly, it has a larger load capacity. A 2 kg difference might not seem like much, but in reality, you can't wash outerwear properly in a 4 kg drum, while a 6 kg one is perfectly fine. Secondly, this machine washes wool items well. Thirdly, its auto-weighing function works correctly, which is a really cool feature.

This washing machine is much quieter than any other. I was actually surprised; I even turned on the spin cycle at 1200 RPM to listen to a fighter jet takeoff, but I didn't hear anything out of the ordinary—great! The electronics are simple and straightforward. The machine looks beautiful. I didn't specifically look for any flaws, and none surfaced, so I have nothing bad to say about it.

At first, I thought I'd gotten a useless washing machine. No matter how much laundry I loaded, something would never wash, and the rinsing cycle was a complete disaster. Then I realized I should have read the instructions. It turns out I shouldn't have filled the drum to the brim. When I started loading less laundry, the problem resolved itself. I'd bought a good washing machine after all.

Natalia, Kamensk-Uralsky

I thought a washing machine with such features was just a dream, as it would have to be very expensive. It turns out there is a washing machine, an LG brand, that has these features and is inexpensive. It runs quietly, which was important to me because I have two small children who are scared by loud and sudden noises. There's a child lock, which is very intuitive and useful, since my little thugs are always trying to get into the machine. I give this model five stars.

Negative opinions

My husband and I really liked the washing machine at first. It felt like it had no downsides, only advantages, but of course, that's not true, and we soon realized it. It all started with freezing. The machine would seem to be washing, finishing the wash, starting the rinse cycle, and then the fun began: it would spin five times and sit for about 10 minutes, then spin five more times and sit again.

After a week, the machine started to freeze completely. We contacted a service center, and the technician thoroughly examined the electronics and concluded that the electronic module needed to be replaced. Luckily, the machine was under warranty, so the repair was done at the seller's expense. We had to wait about a month. Then we used it comfortably for almost a year until the pump broke. We replaced it ourselves. The overall conclusion is this: the machine washes well, and that's the main thing, but it's very unreliable. Using this machine, I realized that Korean appliances are still far from perfect.

I didn't notice anything good about this machine. A 6 kg load is nothing these days; you need at least 7 kg to wash large items without any problems. I work in a laundromat, and at home I have an 8 kg machine—that's amazing. My sister didn't listen to me and bought an LG with a 6 kg drum, and now she's struggling with her outerwear, bringing them to work and dropping them off at the dry cleaners. So there you have it!

I told my husband to get a washer-dryer, because there's nowhere to dry clothes, our apartment windows face the street, and the house is damp. My dear, he decided to save a little money; he needs to be supervised, damn it! Tomorrow we're going to return the car to the store because it's completely unsuitable for us; it's so ugly, and there's no dryer, either.

In conclusion, we'd like to point out that there are very few negative reviews about this LG washing machine model, literally counting them on one hand. However, there are hundreds of positive reviews! We'll leave the conclusions to you. Good luck!
