LG has equipped the FWV696wSE with some innovative technology not only to care for your clothes but to make your life easier too. This model provides a bigger drum capacity in the same size appliance, so you can get more done in one go without taking up more kitchen space. Stain removal was excellent, though, with the red wine stain largely gone. On a darker garment, you’d have no idea that it was even there. Prevent fabric damage with AI DD™, LG’s 3rd gen beltless Direct Drive. Using the brilliance of artificial intelligence to analyse load weight & softness to automatically adjust movement during a wash. LG are so confident they give a 10 year warranty on their Direct Drive motor. High tumble drying costs are the main problem of washer dryers, as they both consume more electricity than heat pump dryers, and they also use water to condense the vapour for drainage, adding to the cost. Controls are fairly standard for this type of machine, with a programme dial letting you select the washing cycle that you want. These are all labelled in English, which makes them very easy to understand, so you shouldn’t have to refer to the manual too often.

With its low E rating for washing/drying, these figures are quite high and are a combination of high cycle cost and relatively low drying capacity. A standalone tumble dryer will have a much larger capacity, requiring fewer loads to dry the same amount of clothes, and lower running costs. To test how well the washer dryer performed, I put it through my standard set of tests. First, I began with a 30C cotton wash, loading the machine with my test washing and inserting a stain strip. Here, the LG TurboWash FWV796STSE used 0.38kWh of power and 43.1-litres of water, which is very competitive.With its 9kg drum, the LG TurboWash FWV796STSE has a fair amount of room for washing, and a large porthole. Performance Weighing the washing at the end, 40% additional weight was added through water retention, which is in-line with other washer-dryers but high compared to the best standalone washing machines. This versatile LG appliance has 14 wash programmes to suit all colours and materials. Cycles include Cotton, Mixed, Delicates, Hand Wash, Wool, and Easy Care. You’ll also find a handy Wash+Dry programme which dries 6kg of laundry automatically once the wash cycle has finished. If you are interested in buying the LG V6 FWV686WTE washer dryer, make sure you don’t pay over the odds. LG has designed their FWV696WSE to make your life easier. With a large capacity and a Wash+Dry programme, this washer dryer will clean all your clothes to perfection. Designed for Every Family

Starting from left to right, we have red wine, cooking oil, ketchup, orange juice and gravy. As you can see, the red wine stain was still very visible but the other stains were gone.

Get a washing machine that fits without compromising on laundry load. LG washing machines secure laundry drums in place for minimised movement, meaning less space is needed inside the washing machine As this is a washer-dryer, there’s also a standard wash and dry programme (limited to the drying capacity of 6kg), plus a dry only mode.

As this is an LG ThinQ machine, you can add it to the LG ThinQ app for remote control. As with all smart laundry products, remote control is only available with the machine loaded, the door shut and Remote Start enabled via the control panel. This is for safety reasons.
