LG V6 FWV696WSE Steam 9kg/6kg Freestanding Washer Dryer

Product Information

Weighing the washing at the end, 40% additional weight was added through water retention, which is in-line with other washer-dryers but high compared to the best standalone washing machines. Prevent fabric damage with AI DD™, LG's 3rd gen beltless Direct Drive. Using the brilliance of artificial intelligence to analyse load weight & softness to automatically adjust movement during a wash. LG are so confident they give a 10 year warranty on their Direct Drive motor. Stain removal was pretty good. Starting from left to right, we have red wine, cooking oil, ketchup, orange juice and gravy. As you can see, the red wine stain was still very visible but the other stains were gone. In terms of design, the washer dryer is white, freestanding, and features an LED display with dial and touch controls. The 30 cm porthole and 150-degree door opening make it easier to get your laundry in and out of the drum.

LG has designed their FWV696WSE to make your life easier. With a large capacity and a Wash+Dry programme, this washer dryer will clean all your clothes to perfection. Designed for Every Family I tried out the drying programme, next, which used a massive 1.69kWh of power and 5-litres of water. Still, the clothes were completely dry, although total removal accounted to 108% of the dry weight, showing that a fair amount of fibre was lost through the process and that the LG TurboWash FWV796STSE isn’t as gentle as some. Stain removal was excellent, though, with the red wine stain largely gone. On a darker garment, you’d have no idea that it was even there.

In terms of design, the washer dryer is white, freestanding, and features an LED display with dial and touch controls. The 30 cm porthole and 150-degree door opening make it easier to get your laundry in and out of the drum. LG Technology With its low E rating for washing/drying, these figures are quite high and are a combination of high cycle cost and relatively low drying capacity. A standalone tumble dryer will have a much larger capacity, requiring fewer loads to dry the same amount of clothes, and lower running costs. With allergy and baby care programs, steam technology sanitises your clothes with pure water. Awarded the British Allergy Foundation Seal of Approval, clothes are noticeably softer on your skin. With its 9kg drum, the LG TurboWash FWV796STSE has a fair amount of room for washing, and a large porthole. Performance As this is an LG ThinQ machine, you can add it to the LG ThinQ app for remote control. As with all smart laundry products, remote control is only available with the machine loaded, the door shut and Remote Start enabled via the control panel. This is for safety reasons.

As always, it’s worth pointing out that if you buy a separate washing machine and tumble dryer, you’ll get better results and lower runnning costs. Still, if you want an all-in-one machine for space or convenience, the LG TurboWash FWV796STSE is a good choice. LG has equipped the FWV696WSE with some innovative technology not only to care for your clothes but to make your life easier too. This model provides a bigger drum capacity in the same size appliance, so you can get more done in one go without taking up more kitchen space.This versatile LG appliance has 14 wash programmes to suit all colours and materials. Cycles include Cotton, Mixed, Delicates, Hand Wash, Wool, and Easy Care. You’ll also find a handy Wash+Dry programme which dries 6kg of laundry automatically once the wash cycle has finished.

To get a level playing field, I use the EU energy label to work out the average cost per full cycle. I then work out how much washing in total weight is done in the UK, assuming 274 loads per year, and individual cycles of 6kg (high use, 1644kg per year), 4.5kg (medium use, 1233kg per year) and 3kg (low use, 822kg per year). Controls are fairly standard for this type of machine, with a programme dial letting you select the washing cycle that you want. These are all labelled in English, which makes them very easy to understand, so you shouldn’t have to refer to the manual too often.

LG washing machines secure laundry drums in place for minimised movement, meaning less space is needed inside the washing machine Any extended warranties offered by Peter Tyson are free.

LG's products are built to last, minimizing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.

Lifters in the drum prevent clothes from tangling together inside the drum during washing cycles. A lifter made of stainless steel is more durable and more hygienic than plastic materials.

Decent performance and quiet operation are the two features that make it stand out but running costs, particularly for the tumble dryer are a little higher than the competition. Design and features

To test how well the washer dryer performed, I put it through my standard set of tests. First, I began with a 30C cotton wash, loading the machine with my test washing and inserting a stain strip. Here, the LG TurboWash FWV796STSE used 0.38kWh of power and 43.1-litres of water, which is very competitive.
