The LG F4V5RYP2T is a front loading washing machine with a 10.5kg drum, driven by an Inverter Direct Drive motor. The dial on the control panel runs through 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, so you turn to the fabric you are washing rather than working out settings.

Close-up of the LG control panel showing the programme dial, the Steam badge, the Inverter Direct Drive 10.5kg label and the digital display with temperature and spin options — Temperature runs from cold up to 95 degrees and spin from off up to 1400, both chosen with a single button, so you can drop the heat for dark colours without changing the whole programme.

Key Features

Bedding and heavy loads go in whole. The drum takes 10.5kg, enough for duvets and curtains rather than splitting them over two washes.
Steam for bedding, towels and baby clothes. Allergy Care and Baby Steam Care sit on the dial as marked steam cycles.
Clothes come off the line sooner. The spin selector goes up to 1400 rpm, so more water is pulled out before drying.
A small load done in a hurry. Quick 30 handles a light wash without running a full cotton cycle.
Nothing gets left behind. The Add Item button lets you open up and drop in a stray shirt after the wash has started.
The drum cleans itself. Tub Clean runs an empty maintenance cycle to keep the inside from smelling stale.

The detergent drawer pulled fully out, showing separate compartments for detergent and softener with blue inserts — Detergent and softener load into separate compartments and the drawer pulls right out, which makes it easy to rinse off powder build up.

Adjustable feet at the front let you level the machine on an uneven floor, and a small hinged flap at the bottom right covers the filter for routine cleaning.
