We bought the machine recently, so I haven't had time to explore all its nuances, but I can share my first impressions. The machine immediately impressed me with a number of technical features that my old washing machine didn't have, namely:
- a five-kilogram drum, which allows you to wash large items such as blankets and throws;
- it's quiet, so I even run the wash at night;
- It washes well, and most importantly, rinses clothes well (there were problems with the old machine);
- high spin speed – 1000 rpm, although I wouldn’t mind if the speed was higher;
Modern washing machine models have a minimum spin speed of 1200 rpm, but it's unclear why this isn't implemented here.
- The inner walls of the drum are smooth enough and do not damage clothes.
The washing machine, by all appearances, is of good quality, despite the fact that it was assembled in Russia, but I did notice one drawback. Small items get stuck in the rubber seal around the door and can't be washed. One time, my daughter's sock got stuck under the seal and we couldn't get it out. Now I'm afraid it will get stuck somewhere inside and the machine will break. A friend told me that this happens. laundry bags, they'll keep small items from getting lost. I'll buy some later and try them out.

I really wanted to buy a Bosch washing machine because I already had one and it lasted almost 17 years. It's still working, but it's starting to creak. We took it to the dacha to give it a little more time to work. So, I was considering a Bosch, but I ended up buying an LG. The salesperson was so aggressive, he seemed to like me. He explained so passionately, almost breathlessly, why I shouldn't buy the Boschs I was considering, that I finally gave in and bought it.
It was a bit of a hassle that the specified machine wasn't in stock, and I had to wait nine days for my order, but the result was worth it. The machine arrived in immaculate condition; I personally checked everything, including the detergent drawer and the door. When the technician installed it, I found it to be quiet and reliable, and it washes beautifully, especially if you don't skimp on the detergent. I've had this machine for a year now, and I have no complaints. I haven't noticed any downsides!

Six months ago, an LG washing machine was delivered to my bachelor apartment. Over the past six months, I've become so lazy that I've completely forgotten what hand washing is, because you get used to good things quickly. There are lots of washing modes, but I don't use them all. My favorite is the 30-minute mode, because it cleans well and is fast. Bottom line: it's a fantastic machine, and, by the way, very inexpensive.
I paid only 320 bucks for this machine, and in return I got a good “home assistant”.

At first, I was wary of this washing machine, feeling it was too crude, but as soon as I started using it, all my suspicions vanished. It washes, rinses, and spins flawlessly, the electronics never glitch, the door doesn't leak, and the dust filter is always clean. It's immediately obvious that the manufacturer has thought of everything; it's a high-quality product.

My husband and I weren't happy with this brand's washing machine. We finally came to a unanimous decision. Firstly, the machine flat-out refuses to wash clothes with a small load, and if you cram the load too tightly, it stops mid-cycle, and some scribbles appear on the screen. We even called the repairman about this and described the problem, and he said this behavior is normal for LG machines.
Secondly, after a month, the seal came loose, and the hatch wouldn't close. This time, we didn't bother anyone; my husband removed the clamp and reinstalled the seal, then installed a new clamp. That's about it, I think. In short, I fixed the problem myself. You know, we weren't expecting this kind of use when we bought the machine, so we weren't happy with it at all. We don't recommend buying it!

This washing machine was handled by incompetent people. I got this impression during the installation process. I followed the instructions and double-checked everything.
- Strengthened the floor under the washing machine.
- By adjusting the legs, I leveled the body of the machine.
When I was tightening the legs, I was surprised that they were dangling in a strange way. It was good that the weight of the body was pressing down on me, otherwise the machine would have fallen on me.
- I left gaps on all sides so that the body would not hit objects on the right during operation.
- Well, of course, I connected it according to all the rules.
What's the bottom line? So, when my wife put her son's down jacket in the drum and started the wash, after 40 minutes the machine nearly fell over. And then it started jumping around like crazy during the spin cycle. When I started to take it apart, it turned out that the legs were barely holding on to anything, apparently a manufacturing defect. So the car only gets 3 out of 5 points from me, and that’s because I’m in a good mood today.

I didn't like the machine right away, even though I respect my mom's opinion, but I was adamant about it. I first saw this washing machine at my mom's place, when she decided to show me off her recent purchase. I scrutinized it from every angle and pronounced it a complete dud! It's big, bulky, looks like a Flintstones washing machine, and the controls are awkward. After a while, my mom changed her mind, especially after washing some bulky items, and I'm extremely glad she did. Now she'll buy herself a proper machine, like mine. I told her, don't skimp on a washing machine.
In conclusion, this brand's washing machine has far more supporters than detractors. Many experts also speak in its favor. Our technicians, by the way, also have good things to say about this model, so draw your own conclusions. Good luck!

I didn't like the machine. The programs are stupid. Is it really necessary to wash for 3-3.5 hours? You can wear out all your laundry in six months. A timer is absolutely necessary. The 30-minute program washes at 20 degrees (cold water)—what kind of wash is that? The "Rinse and Spin" program should start by pumping out the water. For example, I stopped the "long" program and decided to rinse and spin. But no such luck—the machine pumps a new portion of water into the drum.
