Reviews of washing machines LG F12U1HDS1

Those who paid attention to the narrow automatic washing machine LG F12U1HDS1 do not need a regular washing machine, but at the same time they do not want to pay more than $1,000 for a super-sophisticated model. The LG F12U1HDS1 washing machine is a cross between luxury and budget appliances. Users pay attention to it quite often, and more and more reviews appear on the Internet. In this regard, we decided to make a brief review of this model, rewriting, among other things, people’s real opinions about this machine.

Characteristics of the washing machine

This LG washing machine with steam function It is classified as narrow, since its depth is only 45 cm. This fact did not affect its maximum load, because the drum can hold up to 7 kg of dry laundry. The washing machine looks quite stylish, and the controls are touch sensitive. You won’t see any bulky knobs or toggle switches, because they simply don’t exist.

The ergonomic design of the machine is emphasized by a wide hatch (33 cm), through which it is very convenient to load laundry.

LG washing machines have always been distinguished by clear controls, and this model is no exception. All programs and buttons that are responsible for them are signed in Russian. The display is really very ordinary, but it is quite enough to display all the information the user needs. This washing machine provides high-quality spinning of laundry, largely because the drum is capable of rotating at a speed of 1200 rpm, but it must be remembered: the higher the drum rotation speed, the greater the negative impact on the laundry fabric.

It is impossible to say that this machine is quiet.Imagine a drum rotating at 1200 rpm during a spin cycle; it will make some noise. However, some technical solutions helped keep the noise level within 72 dB. You don’t have to worry too much about this; spinning at maximum speed is rarely required, which means there will actually be less noise from the machine. Now a few words about programs and functions.

• Loosening laundry after spinning. Essentially, this is the procedure of straightening out laundry to reduce wrinkling. This makes ironing easier.
• Accelerated wash. This is a really super-fast wash that helps, as they say, to rinse non-dirty laundry. The program lasts from the moment it starts until the end of 14 minutes.
• Handwash. Very good for wool and other delicate fabrics.
• Removing stains. A unique program specially designed to remove old stains of various natures from different types of fabrics.
• Kids clothes. A mode that takes into account the characteristics of children's things and the dirt that may remain on them.
• Sportswear washing program. Here, we think, no explanation is needed.
• Outerwear. A program for washing outerwear that can be washed, except for down jackets, there is a separate mode for them.
• Bedclothes. The program is ideal for washing pastel linen.
• Dark fabrics. The program is suitable for washing black laundry, as well as dark-colored fabrics.

To effectively wash black items, you need to use a special black washing gel.

• Steam treatment and washing. This is the so-called “dry wash”. If you need to rid things of allergens (for example, plant pollen), or simply get rid of unpleasant odors without watering them, these modes are suitable.

An impressive list, isn't it?Here you can add an interesting mode called “animal hair removal”. By the way, the effect it produces is amazing. Also night mode, additional rinse, delayed start up to 19 hours. But that's not all. The system allows you to create one of your own programs and save the settings that correspond to it, the system will immediately remember it and you will be able to select it in the future, whenever you want.

The machine has a standard child lock, protection against leaks, and mobile diagnostics. The essence of mobile diagnostics is that the car itself connects via a smartphone to a virtual service center, which determines where the car has a fault. The washing machine is assembled in Russia, warranty from the manufacturer is 1 year. The average cost is about $615.

Consumer Opinions

Yana, Kostroma

The machine is not bad, it washes well, there are no complaints about the design at all, but something bad is happening with the electrics. First, the washing machine starts to glitch ungodly, and then, after about five minutes, it turns off and even knocks out the machine. The technicians have already been called twice, to no avail, nothing unusual has been found. We'll figure out.

The intelligent washing of this machine is simply kick-ass; if you give it the opportunity to weigh the laundry and estimate the expected washing time, then it will chat for three shirts for 2.5 hours. No matter how many times I used this function, the machine never determined the correct time, so I wash it using manual settings. With a turbo wash that lasts 14 minutes, strange things also happen. No matter how much I time it, the car never finishes in 14 minutes, usually at least 20 minutes.Otherwise, it seems like a good car, personally, the shortcomings don’t bother me, I’m already used to it and don’t pay attention to them.

In 14 minutes, probably not a single machine in the world can wash anything, so this seems to be nothing more than an advertising gimmick.

I've been using this washing machine for almost a year now, and I'm incredibly happy with it. I remember as soon as I bought it, I washed all the down jackets. You stuff a down jacket into an old machine, try to start the program, but it immediately freezes, because the drum is designed for 4.5 kg. There are no such problems with the new LG, since the drum is 7 kg. The machine spins no better, but no worse than my old washing machine, in principle it’s normal, it’s a sin to complain. Steam washing is an unclaimed function for me; I don’t need these bells and whistles. I recommend buying a car!

Valentina, Omsk

I love and respect LG washing machines very much. The first machine from this company worked for almost 9 years and probably would have worked longer if the movers had not pulled it down the stairs during the move. After that, I almost forced amputation of their limbs. The car was pretty badly damaged, almost nothing was broken inside, but the control panel cracked and the program switch knob jumped off, so I had to take it to the dacha and buy a new one home.

Impressions from this model are positive. There are a bunch of different interesting functions, I haven’t figured out half of them, but I think that’s ahead. The machine does not wobble or make much noise during operation. I give the machine five points!

Ilya, Pskov

The machine is simply super, a real expensive model at a relatively low price. My wife especially likes its appearance; when it was first installed, she said that it is now a new decoration for the bathroom.LG washes well, we especially like the function that allows you to clean clothes from animal hair. I can recommend this car to everyone without any fear!

To summarize, we note that not all users like the washing machine of this model. Some people are frankly not happy with her, fortunately they are a minority. Most people are not so picky and were able to appreciate the quality of such equipment. Good luck with your choice!
