LG F1296ND4
Narrow washing machine with 6.5 kg load and "6 Care Movements" technology
MODEL OVERVIEW
Thanks to the steam function, the device is 20% more energy efficient than a class A machine. In terms of 1 kg of laundry, it consumes only 0.17 kWh of energy. To produce steam in a steam generator, significantly less water and electricity are consumed compared to the cost of heating the entire volume of water in the drum.
The steam function is used in half of the machine's programs. Steam straightens the fibers of fabrics, promoting more efficient washing, it also reduces the number of wrinkles and allows the detergent to penetrate the fibers of the product as efficiently as possible.
With the help of steam, disinfection occurs in the hypoallergenic washing mode.
In the “refresh” mode, steam removes odors and returns glossy areas to their normal appearance, acts gently, and fabrics look like new.
The mode settings are set using a large selector; the buttons enable options and a timer.
One of the most noticeable features of the machine is the 6 Motion technology - these are six different algorithms for rotating the drum. Basic rotation is activated in combination with five additional algorithms: “reverse rotation” (for effective dissolution of the powder), “saturation” (for uniform wetting of the entire volume of laundry), “twisting” (gentle action with low noise level), “rocking” (gentle washing delicate items and wool), “smoothing” (against the formation of folds and creases).
Washing programs are designed for all types of fabrics, there are modes for cotton (dark and light, at high temperatures), synthetics, delicate items, for mixed loads of items made of cotton and artificial threads, washing wool (the program is certified by Woolmark). A special regime is provided for the care of down products, items made of membrane fabrics and microfiber (“sports”). Silent washing will not interfere with night comfort, as it uses appropriate drum rotation algorithms and spin speed.
The preferred mode with the set parameters can be saved in memory and turned on later by pressing just one button. If necessary, you can reduce the cycle time by activating the time saving option. The buttons also activate additional 1 or 2 rinsing stages or a super rinse, which ensures intensive rinsing of detergent residues.
The design of the sidewalls of the machine has been developed in a new way: a pattern in the form of arches (catenary) is used for it, it guarantees dynamic stability and vibration absorption.
WASH: class A. 14 programs: cotton, delicate, wool, duvet, refresh, quick 30, eco cotton, mixed fabrics, intensive 60, silent wash, dark fabrics, sportswear, casual, hypoallergenic; intensive, preferred, 2 extra rinses, super rinse; self-cleaning.
SPIN: class B, 1200 rpm.
ECONOMICAL: class A+, electricity consumption 1.2 kWh/cycle, water 56 l (cotton, 60 °C).
CONTROL: electronic, LED display, program selector, buttons for selecting temperature, spin speed, turning on options, timer (3-19 hours); control of imbalance and foam level, protection against leaks on the body, self-diagnosis.
DESIGN: Inverter Direct Drive, True Steam function, six drum rotation algorithms programmed in washing mode, drum with bubble surface, sound indication, hatch diameter 35 cm, opening angle 170°, noise level 54-67 dB.
GUARANTEE: 1 year + 10 years for motor.
SUMMARY
ADVANTAGES: The car is really quiet. The no-fold option works! We mainly use Biowash, Delicate Wash, Hand Wash and Cotton Quick Wash. The design is very stylish and modern. Overall, very happy with the purchase!
RESTRICTIONS: It takes in water quite noisily, with jerks and crashes. There is no way to “remember” changes to standard programs for temperature, spin, etc. How much is needed is another question or price.
OVERALL RATING: A good set of programs. Convenient controls. End of wash melody. Quiet spin and wash. The machine sits well on the tiled floor and does not “run around”. The no-crease option really works.

1. Cleans well. You take out the laundry and it is softer and more pleasant to the touch (compared to the previous machine) 2. Quiet. Of course, it’s not super quiet, and you can hear it perfectly, but it’s much quieter than the previous one. 3. Placed on silicone stands and level - at 1200 rpm - it turns smoothly, vibrations are insignificant. 4. nice appearance. In general, I like gray/silver cars, because white ones always turn gray and yellow over time, but this one will always be like new until it breaks someday

Doesn't know how to load laundry in and unload it after washing.
Not a very significant minus - the hatch is easily soiled, the power cord is not very long and the powder container seemed small, but this is an appearance, otherwise it has no minuses.

1. as they wrote in other reviews - a little water remains in the elastic band after washing - not critical, but just for show
2. maintainability (I spoke with a washing machine repairman, he reported the poor maintainability of these direct drive inverters), but what to do - this is the price for silence. Well, I hope it will serve well...

The child lock does not block only the on/off button, which the child presses and everything goes down the drain, because after turning it on again the machine starts the program all over again. It doesn’t rinse well, you have to run a second rinse cycle. The super rinse function is not available with all programs. The “Marseillaise” executed by the machine when turned on and off is unbearably annoying! very noisy squeaking sound from the machine.
It probably washes well, because... We never ran the wash again, but this is rather an advantage of expensive powders, I believe. I don’t remember what else is bad, but for a year it infuriates me every time I use it...
no separate spin. For me this is a minus. necessarily with rinsing.

This time, the manufacturer decided not to be modest, launching a modern solution for home life on the market - the LG F1296ND4 washing machine. The model includes a number of innovative technologies developed exclusively within the company. We will describe in more detail about all the product capabilities below.
Washing machine LG F1296ND4
Main features of LG F1296ND4
- Stylish case design, consisting of an extravagant combination of white gloss and silver metal inserts. This solution gave the model an attractive, timeless appearance. On the market you can find options with two types of colors - standard white and silver.
- The body dimensions, usual for washing machines of this class, are 60x44x85 cm (WxDxH), which do not require additional space at the installation site.
- The user interface gives the washing machine owner full access to all cycle control systems. The LED display allows you to track digital timing indicators.
- An inverter motor with a maximum power of 1200 rpm provides the model with A-class washing efficiency.
- The Smart Diagnosis system greatly simplifies the procedure for analyzing faults on the LG F1296ND4, making it remote.
- Volumetric bubble drum with a capacity of up to 6 kg. The 6 Motion rotation technology significantly expands the washing machine’s capabilities for cleaning different types of items.
- Energy consumption class A++ with a maximum load of 0.17 kW per hour. for every kilogram of washing drum load.
In view of the fact that the listed advantages of the model are considered its main trump cards on the market, we decided to look into each of the features in more detail. Let's take a closer look at the insides of the washing machine.
Hardware filling
As it was written, LG F1296ND4 received an inverter motor installed according to the Inverter Direct Drive project, which involves attaching the motor shaft directly to the drum axis. Thanks to it, it was possible to reduce the noise level during the washing and spinning process to 55 and 76 dB, respectively. Also, the washing machine received the company’s proprietary technology “6 Motion”, which endowed the drum with several types of rotations to increase the adaptability of the device to different operating modes. Note that there are only five innovations in the algorithms, working in combination with the basic program (which is considered the sixth).
"6 movements of caring"
- “Reverse rotation” creates vortex flows in the water mass, thanks to which the dissolution of washing powder occurs much faster and better. This not only significantly improves the quality of washing, but also prevents the formation of large lumps of detergent residues settling in clothes.
- The “Saturation” algorithm was created for the balanced distribution of a large volume of laundry throughout the drum space and its uniform washing. In this type of rotation, the water forms something like a “cyclone”, preventing individual things from falling out of the general flow.
- “Wiggle” is used in modes that involve washing thin fabrics that are sensitive to mechanical stress. The algorithm minimizes the friction of clothes against the walls of the drum during the working cycle.
- “Twisting” is considered an economical and quiet type of rotation, in which the engine speed is noticeably reduced, allowing things to slowly roll over the drums. The latter, thanks to its bubble design, carefully treats the surface of the laundry with directed streams of water and detergent. This algorithm also minimizes mechanical stress on the fabric, greatly increasing the efficiency of dirt removal.
- “Smoothing” can be classified as a universal algorithm, useful in any operating mode. It is activated at the spin stage and evenly distributes things throughout the drum space, preventing the formation of folds and their stretching.
Combined with 13 washing modes, the 6-move care system allows you to achieve high-quality cleaning of the most difficult items, including woolen items and linen with internal fillings.
Washing modes
Mode selection wheel LG F1296ND4 with LED backlight - Cotton - light colored items made from cotton.
- Cotton max. — previous mode with economical power consumption.
- Mixed fabrics - 3 kg. linen made of different materials, in addition to special ones.
- Taking care of your health - using the “Reverse Rotation” algorithm to clean clothes from chemical detergents.
- A duvet is one large item with inner filling.
- Wool - delicate washing of small items made from natural wool.
- Baby clothes - gentle cleaning of baby clothes with minimal mechanical stress.
- Sportswear - application of several “Smoothing” and “Twisting” algorithms for harmless washing of fabrics based on fils and Coolmax.
- Everyday wash is a shortened wash cycle for clothes that do not require ironing.
- Intensive 60 - long wash cycle with increased power and energy savings.
- Quick 30 - quick cleaning of light colored items with minimal contamination.
Ease of use
Description of the user panel
Control panel LG F1296ND4 The top panel of the washing machine body is reserved for the user interface for setting work cycles. In one row there are buttons for turning on the power, starting and stopping washing, spinning and temperature mode. The LED indicator system constantly monitors the drum speed, water temperature and remaining wash time. There are also buttons for switching washing modes and activating its various stages.
The wheel used to select the main washing cycle program is traditionally located in the center of the panel with text labels for each mode. To the left of it there is a compact tray for detergents and powders.
Safety
The LG F1296ND4 case is equipped with a partial leakage protection system, sufficient to seal the main systems of the machine from moisture. There is child access restriction technology that blocks the buttons on the user panel. During the washing process, the drum is regulated by an imbalance control algorithm and a foam level limiter, preventing it from filling too much of the working space.

Review of LG F-1296ND4
Wash
The drum capacity is 6 kg. This is the maximum load rate and corresponds to cotton linen. For woolen and delicate fabrics it is smaller and amounts to 2.5 - 4 kg.
The model is equipped with 13 modes, which can be divided into standard and special. The standard ones include several modes for washing cotton, synthetics, and a daily mode for mixed fabrics. Special modes are designed for washing delicate silk and woolen fabrics, children's underwear, sportswear, large items with filling (pillows, blankets, jackets).
There is an accelerated wash mode lasting 30 minutes for uncontaminated items.
The intensive wash program is designed for the most economical washing of moderately soiled items in 60 minutes. For particularly delicate underwear fabrics, it is useful to use the Health Care mode, during which the powder is rinsed out especially thoroughly. A mode that deserves attention is that you can program it yourself by choosing the sequence of washing stages. By default it offers Rinse + Spin.
The machine achieves high quality washing and preservation of the appearance of things thanks to the “6 care movements” technology. The drum has several rotation options, suitable for different types of fabrics, both for intensive (torsion) and delicate washing (rocking, reverse rotation).
Spin
The maximum spin speed reaches 1200 rpm. The user is also able to select values of 800, 400 revolutions and the ability to cancel the spin. The standard value for most washing machines is 1000 revolutions. In terms of spin performance, the model is assigned class B, which indicates very good, but not excellent quality. In this case, the residual moisture content of the laundry can be 45 - 54%.
Additional functions
The LG F1296ND4 washing machine is equipped with a delayed start function with a timer from 3 to 19 hours, allowing you to start it at night or in the absence of the owners of the house.
The automatic drum cleaning mode is activated by pressing a combination of buttons and does not require the use of detergent.
The technology for mobile diagnostics of errors and problems will help determine a possible malfunction remotely. The machine emits a certain sound combination, which codes the type of malfunction. A telephone specialist deciphers the code and recognizes the error.
From a safety point of view, there is partial protection against leaks, auto-balancing of laundry in the drum, which cancels intensive spinning in the event of strong twisting of its contents, a foam suppression system in case of excess detergent, and door locking during operation.
Control
The machine is equipped with electronic control, carried out using an intelligent washing program. This does not require much participation from the user in the process of selecting washing parameters.
The built-in laundry recognition system automatically selects the most suitable program, which the user can edit by reducing the wash temperature, spin speed, adding an additional rinse or canceling the spin altogether.
The control panel consists of a rotary program selection dial, additional function buttons, a display and indicators. The display, equipped with a bright backlight, has 4 icons for each stage of the operating cycle. The machine emits melodious sound signals that accompany the pressing of buttons and the end of the wash cycle. The sound is muted if necessary.
The control panel can be blocked from accidental pressing, but it does not apply to all buttons. The pause and shutdown buttons remain active in any case.
Design and dimensions
The LG F1296ND4 washing machine looks especially impressive. The case is made in silver, which makes it stand out from the general model range. The chrome-plated loading door also stands out against the background of the enamel body.
The tank is 44 cm deep, allowing the car to be classified as narrow. The remaining dimensions correspond to the standard: width – 60 cm, height – 85 cm. Adjustable legs vary the height within 10 mm, which avoids distortion even on an uneven floor. If necessary, the top cover of the housing can be removed and the machine can be built into a kitchen unit.
Conclusion
Advantages: large capacity with compact dimensions, intelligent washing system with automatic laundry recognition, mobile problem diagnostic technology, non-standard silver color.
Flaws: incomplete locking of the control panel, lack of a spin speed of 1000 rpm.
The LG F-1296ND4 washing machine is an example of a good price-quality ratio. At an average cost, the model provides high-quality, automated, high-tech washing of linen and bedding.
