The LG F4V5RGP2T Vivace is a front loading washer dryer combo. It takes a 10.5kg wash load and dries up to 7kg, so a load can go in dirty and come out dry without being moved to a separate machine. The cabinet is brushed silver with a dark glass door and a chrome ring around it.

Cycles are chosen on a single metal dial, with the full list printed on the panel: Cotton, Cotton+, Mixed Fabric, Easy Care, Silent Wash, Allergy Care, Baby Steam Care, Delicates, Hand/Wool, Sportswear, Quick 30, Duvet, Tub Clean and Download Cycle.

Key Features

One machine does the washing and the drying. 10.5kg wash capacity and 7kg drying capacity in the same drum, so laundry does not need a second machine or a line.
Steam cycles for the things you want properly clean. Allergy Care and Baby Steam Care are marked in red on the panel as part of the steam cycle group.
Clothes come out with less water in them. Spin can be set at 400, 800, 1000, 1200 or 1400 rpm, or switched off for delicate items.
Set it going from your phone. Smart ThinQ with Wi-Fi is built in, shown by the ThinQ badge and the wireless icon on the display.
Small loads do not need a full cycle. Quick 30 handles a light wash, while Duvet, Hand/Wool and Sportswear cover the harder items.
Wash temperature is yours to choose. The panel offers cold, 20C, 30C, 60C and 95C.

The detergent drawer pulled open at the top left of the machine, showing the blue and white compartments inside — The drawer sits at counter height and pulls straight out, so refilling detergent and softener means no bending down.

Extra options on the display include Intensive, Rinse+, Pre Wash, Delay End and Add Item, which lets you put in a forgotten piece after the cycle has started.
