Reviews

LG 8kg Front Loading Washing Machine with 12 Programs - White (Series 5/WV5-1208W) is rated 4.4 out of 5 by 133.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Monika from Terrible Terrible machine takes me so much longer to do laundry. The machine often stops on the spin cycle so you wait the entire cycle then it just keeps going and going without changing the time left. This means you can’t just leave the laundry on and leave the house because you don’t know when it will malfunction. If I could return the machine I would.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Broadbeach buyer from Always confident buying an LG So far it’s great. I think generally all the LG products are quality, so I knew it wouldn’t be a risk. I like the energy and water rating and it’s perfect for what I need - especially a short wash cycle that’s actually short.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Helenmp from Takes way too long to wash We bought this washing machine after 20 years with our old washing machine.... I'd go back to the old one if I could. The quick wash only allows 2kg washes! So a normal load takes between 2 and 4 hours because of it AI technology that decides how much water it's needs and how much washing it requires.... Who has 4 hours to wait for the washing to finish. We are really disappointed with this machine and will be buying a new machine.... It drives me crazy. Do not recommend.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ColinP from Read the small print ! Small print as well as small size is the key with this washer. Good value for money works well, easy to controll and locate. A good compact front loader. But only when you get it home and read the manual do you realize that it actually will only do a load as little as 3kg, on some programs with some types of fabric. A solid 4 out of 5 stars but try to read the manual or the on line spec befor you buy.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Koen from great machine Love that it can be connected to the smart home/wiFi. Programmes don’t take super long, and seem to actually be accurate indications. It makes a lot of sound when turning on and off, but that can be turned off. Steam cycle seems to be at the end of every cycle which i don’t like. Havent worked out how to turn that off yet

Rated 1 out of 5 by Migs from Issues from day one. Don't but this machine. After having our old machine for 11 years which died, we recently purchased this Front Loader. By week one it had issues getting stuck on wash cycles, Even with the smallest loads it struggles. It occasionally also leaks. I wouldn't recommend this machine.We are in the process of returning swapping it out for another machine.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Clem from Very Unreliable machine I have this machine for the past 8 months, running smoothly without any issues. From the last two months , I noticed that the machine taking long time as it stuck at some points ( even for 30- 45 minutes) repeating the same cycle again and again, doesn't move forward. If you are planning to go out after finishing the wash, you will disappoined as it doesn't finish in the stated time

Questions & Answers

What is the difference between the series 3 and series 5 LG 8kg front loader machines please

Asked by: Pammi

Thanks for your question Pammi! The key point of difference between the Series 3 and the Series 5 models is the access to the ThinQ app on the Series 5 models, which offer Status View, Remote Start, Download Cycle, Notifications, Energy Monitoring, and works with Google Assistant. Hope this helps clarify! ^CO
