LG Direct Drive F1256QD

You can wash all sorts of clothing in the F1256QD thanks to the 13 different programmes, give you maximum flexibility over your washing. Everything from whites, delicates, woollens, synthetics and bedding has a dedicated cycle. Plus you have a choice of spin speeds and 4 different temperatures, allowing you to customise your cycles.

The bio wash and baby care cycles are fantastic as lifting out heavy stains – you don’t even need any stain treatments. It allows your detergent to work at your clothes for longer, giving you a very thorough wash without harming your fabrics. Very useful when washing your kid’s clothes, as they’ll stay very soft for much longer.

LG’s Direct Drive™ doesn’t use a belt or pulley system, meaning it makes very little noise. You don’t get the usual wear and tear either. It’s so well made, it even comes with a 10 year guarantee – excellent peace of mind for your new purchase.

It’s brilliant at saving water too. The load detection cleverly weighs your wash and chooses the right amount of water, energy and time. You get the best wash for each load without any energy being wasted. Amazing at keeping your wash costs as low as possible.

This machine doesn’t use any standby energy either. It might not sound that exciting, but this really saves you a lot of money too. After a programme finishes, your machine switches off completely, so you don’t have to worry about turning it off yourself.

Even with all the different functions, this machine is very easy to use. The stunning LED control panel displays all the information you need. It’ll even tell you how long is left on your cycle so you don’t have to keep popping in and out of the kitchen.

"A really excellent buy"

Pros: Quiet, Easy to use, Good build quality, Value for money

"I have bought quite a few LG products and really rate them, never been disappointed and this one is the best of the lot.

Very good build quality.

Once you have been through the user manual and programed the machine a couple of times, it is quite easy to program and flexible enough to stop and change if required.

There is a 2 year warranty on the machine as a whole and 10 year warranty on the electric drive motor and associated components which is a real bonus.

The machine is just so quiet and smooth in operation.

The LEDs and digital readout are great and the little tune it plays once the washing program has ended is a nice little touch.

Another good point and easy to use function is the start timer so you can program the machine to start in the early hours so the washing is done and ready to hang out when you get up. Because the machine is so quiet there is no problem with disturbing the families sleep.

All in all this was a great buy and I would have no hesitation in recommending this washing machine at all."

"Wish we'd done this sooner !"

Pros: Value for money, Easy to use, Good build quality, Quiet, looks good, washes well too !

"Eventually decided to go for an LG after years of owning Hotpoints and Indesits (and the trouble that comes with them).

First impression was very good build quality, but was even more impressed once switched on and working. It is virtually silent in operation (the water filling is by far the loudest part of the cycle) and our clothes come out better cleaned and need less ironing.

Well worth the small extra cost over the main stream manufacturers."

"Can't Fault It Really"

Pros: Value for money, Easy to use, Good build quality, Quiet, looks good

"Yes, it does what it says on the packet...., washes clothes. On the plus side, set up properly there is very little if any vibration on the machine, which is brilliant. The only time I could hear any noise was when the machine was filling up with water, and when it was pumping the water out,

The controls are easy to use, I like the little jingle it plays when you switch it on and when the program is finished, and I love the fact that it tells you how long it will be till the wash finishes.

On the minus side, nothing really, I would say that I am a bit disappointed with the length of the programs. It does have a quick 30 minute wash program, but the maximum load for that is 2kg. The next shortest "normal" wash is the "bulky" program at 59 minutes with a maximum load of 7kg, but the spin speed for that is 400, you can increase it to 1200, but that adds on 7 minutes to the wash time.

All in all I'm pleased with it. I did notice that the clothes seem to be a lot softer once dried than with my old machine. Maybe thats because of the longer washing times"

"LG7kg direct drive white amazing for it's price"

Pros: Value for money, Easy to use, Quiet

"Quiet, quick wash facility and whites whiter than white. Clothes so well spun my drying time has been over halved too. Less use of a tumble drier on wet days. Buy one!"
