LG F1296SD3 Washing Machine Reviews

LG washing machines are known to be assembled in Russia. This has left some buyers puzzled, wondering how reliable these machines are and whether they're worth buying. It's difficult to give a definitive answer, as reliability depends not only on assembly but also on components, which can vary between models. Users are the best ones to describe how a machine works and what features it offers, so below you'll find their reviews.

I give this washing machine five stars. Its design and size perfectly match my interior. The control panel has attractive buttons, a beep sounds at the beginning and end of each cycle, and it operates without any noise or vibration.

Because the drum is small and can't hold much, it's not suitable for a large family. Choosing a machine isn't easy, as information gleaned online and from salespeople can leave you dizzy. Your biggest fear is that the machine might break down quickly. But thankfully, I've been lucky with this model; so far, so good. The machine is inexpensive, and water and energy costs are minimal.

The LG F1296SD3 washing machine is a wonderful helper. The narrow frame is perfect for a small bathroom. It washes well on the Quick 30 setting and spins well too. I'd also like the low noise level, the wide range of programs, and the child lock feature. Overall, I'm very happy with the washing machine. The drum, while small, is sufficient for my needs. There are a couple of drawbacks:

1. Annoying sound at the end of washing, although it can be turned off.
2. There is some water left in the powder receptacle, you need to wipe it out every time, otherwise it will go out.

Overall, the equipment justifies its price, but it is not an option for a large family.

We received this washing machine as a gift from our parents; we had to leave our old one behind. It's already three years old and has never let us down. I think it's very roomy, and it fits a blanket easily. It washes effectively. The design is a bit unusual, with a silver drum.

I like the sound notification feature that alerts you when the wash cycle is finished; in a large house, it's a lifesaver if you're far away in another room. The drum cleaning option is also convenient.

I bought the LG F1296DD3 narrow washing machine after my son was born, and I don't regret it one bit. It's quiet, washes beautifully, has an excellent selection of modes, and even has a sound system. I believe LG appliances are reliable, and I've tested them time and time again. If there's a problem, such as with the water supply, it will notify you. error code, in short, a “smart” washing machine.

On the 30-minute cycle, oddly enough, everything washes out well, which is very important, especially if you have children.

I was looking for a washing machine exclusively in the budget, meaning inexpensive, range, and the only one I could find was an Indesit. But my mom advised against it, citing its noise, lag, and lag. Ultimately, I spent a little extra and bought an LG washing machine. I understand the difference myself. It's evident in everything: the design, the features, and the build quality. It's a great washing machine, by all accounts.

Standard features are complemented by various options, such as drum cleaning, intensive wash, and smart diagnostics. In short, this one clearly stands out from the crowd, even with a 4 kg capacity instead of 3.5 kg. I highly recommend it.

I've had this washing machine for two years now. I haven't regretted my choice for a minute. The load capacity is perfect for me, the cabinet size and design are pleasing. It also has quite a few modes, although I only wash on Intensive or Quick. It cleans everything perfectly, and if the stain is particularly stubborn, I just add stain remover. The child lock feature was a lifesaver, but the manufacturer forgot to include a power-off button; it doesn't turn off with this feature.

At the end of the wash cycle, you won't forget to take out the laundry, as the machine will notify you with a pleasant melody. As with other washing machines, water remains in the cuff, which I remove with a cloth after each wash to prevent mold. I'm happy with the machine, and I recommend it!

In fact, this LG washing machine washes half as much as advertised. If you put more than 2 kg of things in it, the washing time will increase more than 2 times. By and large, the manufacturer has nothing to complain about, since it can wash, but it takes a very long time. You can wash 2 kg twice and then run another wash for 30 minutes.

I determined the washing time experimentally, weighing the laundry before loading it into the drum. Even with 3 kg of laundry, the machine took a very long time to wash, and that's when I realized I couldn't load more than 2 kg.

It seems really strange that no one mentions this in their comments. Does everyone really erase so little? I spent two months poring over forum comments to make my choice, and no one mentioned this issue.

Be careful when buying a washing machine. Different manufacturers can do this, and it's unlikely that LG is the only one deceiving us. Of course, there's no way to check this in the store; perhaps you should buy a machine with a weight advantage. I used to have a 5 kg washing machine, and it worked for 10 years without any problems, washing as much as I wanted. I won't name the manufacturer to avoid advertising.

This washing machine is terrible. It had a lot of stickers promising a 10-year warranty on the motor. But mine gave up the ghost after just three years. The motor bearing failed, and the service technicians told us there was no warranty on individual motor parts (brushes, etc.). Now the repairs will cost 8,000 rubles, and we're shocked. We're wondering if we should buy a new one...or else something else might break. My advice: buy a washing machine that's inexpensive to repair.

Rodionova Natasha

I don't like this washing machine, even though it washes well and doesn't skip. But it's terribly noisy when draining. The drum is too small, with a stated 4 kg capacity; even 3 kg barely fits in. The rinse cycle is terrible because it draws very little water. Compared to my Indesit, which lasted almost 18 years, this one barely lasted a year.
