LG F1281TD

When a washing machine has got an A for everything it’s sometimes difficult to pick out what’s so great about it, but there's so much to talk about with this white whizzkid!

The main hero is the Direct Drive motor. It's the latest innovation in washing machine technology and it is guaranteed for 10 years by LG. The old belt, pulley and motor system are gone and have been replaced by one orbital motor attached to the back of the drum. Magnets are used to hold the motor in place without it actually touching the drum, therefore there’s no friction, no chance of broken belt and much more life in this washing machine.

The LG F1281TD has a maximum spin speed of 1200 rpm but this can be tailored to suit a specific wash. You can do the same with the temperature settings too to ensure your delicates don’t get too hot and your cottons are super-clean.

It has a delay timer function that can hold the wash on standby for up to a whopping 19 hours! This is great if you wish to run the machine during the night or if you want your wash ready for when you arrive home from work. The handy LCD display will keep you up-to-date on where it’s up to just in case you forget. There’s also a rinse hold option which will hold the clothes in water until your manually tell it to spin so you're clothes can come out of the washing machine when you want them too.

There’s programmes a plenty too; duvet, baby care, easy care, sports wash, dark wash, wool, cotton, cotton eco, mix, stain care, delicate, silent, intensive 60 and quick 30. Surely there’s one in there to suit every stain, crease and smell.

"What a great machine"

Pros: Quiet, Good build quality, Value for money

"Never had an LG before until my old machine brokedown. I didn't know what machine to buy, so we visited all the local shops and found the LG direct drive which my other half decided we had to have. So after looking on the internet and taking in everyone reviews on these machines I decided to buy one. Yes it plays tunes to you when you switch it on,and when it finishes its program, but not to a level it becomes annoying. When we did our first few washes we realised how bad our old machine was. The machine as others had said is very very quiet even when it's spinning at 1200, I was very shocked I did expect it to be a bit noisy. All the options you have when programing a wash is great, however, I agree with everyone else the instructions or very lack of instructions is not helpfull as the first look at the machine can be off putting, I am still working them all out but not complaining. The 30 min quick wash, washes very well and yes the clothes come out very clean. Anyone who is thinking of buying one of these LG's I can only say buy it, it's great and great value for your money. I love mine and I can not beleive I am saying that about a washing machine."

"Shhhhh"

Pros: Quiet, Good build quality

Cons: Complicated

"Can't believe how quiet this is compared to previous washers. There is also a signicant lack of vibration.

Shame however about the instructions. They are woefully lacking on detail of how to use the functions. I have looked on the LG web site and there is nothing of help there either.

Would have been 5 stars if the instructions were better."

"Great Machine"

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

"We must have looked at hundreds of machines and after reading reviews we decided on this one. The 10 year warranty on the motor was a good selling point. It was a little more than we wanted to pay but looks amazing and so far is fab. Plays a lovely tune when washing is finished and turns itself off when finished! Great 30 min quick wahs and a good selection of longer washes although we have only used the cotton quick and intense so far. Great cleaning and no problems. Instructions very basic but we worked it out ourselves really. Would definately reccomend!!!"

"carefree washing"

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

Cons: full wash load take approx 2.5 hours

"The machine does everything that I expected it to. It looks very stylish, is quiet and I like the large chunky controls and clear labelling on the machine. A max capacity wash load can take approx 2.5 hours. Better to split the loads and do 2x60 minute washes. Quick 30 wash very good to freshen up items."
