Reviews of the LG F12B8WD8 washing machine

You are interested in the silver LG washing machine, and therefore you want to know more about it. We will be happy to share information, briefly talk about its characteristics, and, by analyzing user reviews, we will try to understand how well it works and whether it breaks. You can make the final conclusion whether it’s worth taking it yourself.

Characteristics of the machine

So, the narrow washing machine LG F12B8WD8 belongs to the budget class, its price does not exceed $390. The software “filling” of the machine is optimal; this is quite enough for everyday washing. In total, this model has 13 washing programs, including:

• stain removal program;
• washing children's and sportswear;
• quick wash;
• washing down products.

In the “Cotton” mode, you can load a maximum of clothes and linen into the washing machine, this is no more than 6.5 kg. In other modes, such as “wool” or “delicate”, the manufacturer limits the load in order to maximize the washing quality.

In any case, you should not overload the drum of the machine, giving it maximum load. Thus, the machine will last longer and the laundry will stretch better.

The control panel has a display; programs are selected by turning the toggle switch. The car has basic protection, in addition there is a delayed start. The maximum spin is carried out at 1200 rpm, while the noise level does not exceed 76 dB.

I have been testing the washing machine on different modes for three days. So far I'm happy with everything. The old washing machine broke down and went to the country, so I took the risk of buying an LG machine.In general, it washes normally, is not noisy, and a lot of things fit into the drum. A minor drawback: there is no “Bed Linen” program, but it doesn’t matter. After a while, I will try to add something.

The best purchase I made in 2016 was the LG F12B8WD8 washing machine, which I had to look for for a very long time. This machine has an attractive appearance, a set of modern and optimal functions, direct drive, thanks to which the machine lasts longer and does not rattle. Mobile diagnostics is the ability to report a malfunction via phone, very cool. In addition, I like the fact that the washing machine is equipped with overflow protection and a child lock. Holds a lot and washes great. Reasonable value for money.

We purchased the machine not long ago, and I am happy with it. The machine runs quietly, and therefore I mostly wash at night, especially since the sound signal turns off when finished. I discovered one drawback - you cannot turn off auto-weighing, which is very annoying. The fact is that I have a small child, whose clothes often have to be soaked before washing. Wet laundry naturally weighs much more; if you put it in the drum and turn on a program that involves auto-weighing, for example, “Baby Clothes,” the machine will wash it for half a day. To be precise, about 4 – 4.5 hours, which is a very long time.

My parents have had an LG washing machine for about five years. That’s why I decided to choose the same brand for myself. I am happy with the purchase, as the machine washes quietly and efficiently. The only thing that remains is water in the cuff after washing, this is probably a problem for many LGs.

The LG washing machine has been working flawlessly for three years now. The load volume is really large and the machine washes very well.However, after each wash you have to tinker to completely drain the water from the drum. I do this through the emergency drain, near the filter, otherwise the water will stagnate and stink. And you also need to wipe the gum, which also contains water. The rest is fine, I'm used to it.

I really didn’t like this washing machine; it didn’t deserve more than 1 point out of 5. The drum is not of good quality, there is a seam, like some budget cars from Beko, for example, or Indesit. In addition, it buzzes loudly and vibrates.

My husband and I planned to buy a built-in washing machine; we even made room for it in the new kitchen unit. But after analyzing the prices for such equipment, they abandoned this idea, as it was somehow too expensive. The salesperson in the store advised me to take a closer look at the LG brand, as their top cover can be easily removed. This hem model fits into a niche. In general, everything turned out well and on budget. It washes efficiently and also spins 5 points. And it does not move anywhere from its place when the drum rotates quickly, even though it is installed on the laminate. We recommend!

Good washing machine, washes clothes effectively. The noise level corresponds to that declared by the manufacturer, it’s quiet, it spins quietly, I don’t notice any vibration. There are many modes, but out of habit we often use the same ones. No shortcomings were identified, the flight was normal for two years, excellent technology.

We bought a washing machine on sale a year ago. We chose among different brands, including Bosch, Samsung, but settled on LG because of the promotion. The old machine worked for us for 15 years, so everyone compared it to it. First of all, I wanted a narrow device that wouldn’t cost more than $250; the color didn’t matter, although silver looks unusual.

The main disadvantage is water in the elastic after washing, which always needs to be wiped off.

There are also disadvantages: small things, such as socks, get stuck in the elastic band, and therefore you have to wash them in a special bag. The machine is loud when it drains water, and the drain hose bends. As for the pros:

• perfectly performs its task - washing;
• I like the “Baby Clothes”, “Duvet”, “Delicate”, “Wool” modes, things didn’t get damaged after them;
• at maximum spin, the laundry is almost dry, at 800 rpm it also spins well;
• It works quietly, does not vibrate, the main thing is to install it correctly;
• Sound signals can be turned off.

The peculiarity of this model is that there is no separate spin, but it is there and is activated like this: the “spin” button, select the speed, press the same button, press “start”. For some reason they forgot to describe this in the instructions. In general, a good machine.

We needed a machine that could be placed in the bathroom. The LG F12B8WD8 washing machine met this criterion. I respect this brand. The load in the car is large, weighing even more than a standard set of double bed linen. It washes great and the result is almost dry laundry. The noise during the spin cycle, like most machines, is nothing special.
