Review: LG FH4G1BCS2 Freestanding Washing Machine

The LG FH4G1BCS2 is a whopping 12KG washing machine with an impressive 1400 spin and enough extras to conquer everybody’s washing mountain. It hosts an unworldly amount of features, all of which contribute to a huge capacity and top quality efficient wash, crammed into a good looking machine.

The Six Motion Direct Drive enables the drum to move in six different patterns for optimal results: stepping, filtration, scrubbing, tumble, rolling and swing. The type of movement used during the wash depends on which cycle setting you choose. Regardless of whether your washing is heavily soiled and in desperate need of scrubbing, or you have sacrificed your best cashmere jumper to the laundry gods in an effort to avoid that dreaded hand washing, there is a drum motion best suited to your needs.

It also includes a steam function that supports Allergy Care, Steam Softener and Steam Refresh programs to deliver thorough cleansing and garment invigoration without the aid of harsh chemicals. Potential buyers will also be pleased to note that this machine has been awarded the prestigious British Allergy Foundation Seal of Approval. Whether you suffer from hay fever, pet allergies or just need to freshen up that shirt you wore for a few hours, the steam function will work wonders for you.

In addition to this, the Turbo Wash setting completes a standard wash programme in a mere 49 minutes, benefitting both families and those who prefer smaller wash loads. By using a jet spray alongside a filtration spin motion, it not only cuts the overall wash time considerably, but it also boosts its wash efficiency with less water used without compromising on cleanliness.

Another great technological asset is the incorporation of ‘Smart ThinQ’ with Wi-Fi. This feature is perfect for those who are always in a hurry; it allows you to control your washing machine from your own mobile while you are out and about. By using the app, you can also troubleshoot your machine, should there ever be a problem, saving you valuable time should an engineer ever have to visit.

Now, aside from all of the fancy features this machine has, it also has some great internal features such as the two-inverter direct drive motors. This not only enhances your wash performance but also reduces vibration, noise and costs with a higher energy efficiency rating than those with a standard motor.

All in all, this is a good-looking, high-spec machine with a large capacity. It has many useful daily features such as Turbo Wash and Six Motion Direct Drive, while also maintaining a high level of efficiency and a superb A+++ energy rating. It may not be the cheapest offering by LG but the premium features you receive in return are worth the price tag. This machine is a great all-rounder and its extended five-year warranty makes this machine an amazing investment that is built to last.
