Looking for the best value for money washing machine? Then the LG E1096SD3 is for you!
A comment
The old washing machine worked worthily for 9 years, so choosing a new one among many new models of machines was quite difficult. I wanted to find a high-quality washing machine that could serve for a long time, did not cause problems in operation, had all the necessary functions, and was compact in size.

As a result, the choice fell on the model with direct drive brand LG E1096SD3. This machine was produced in Russia, but the motor drive unit is delivered from Korea. The warranty is given for 10 years, which is fine with me.
The lid of the drum is chrome-plated, and due to this, the machine looks generally stylish and elegant. Management is simple, there is a display on which absolutely all the established operating modes of the washing machine are displayed.
pros
Functionality, convenient modern controls, high-quality drive to the drum.
Minuses
A pause holds only 4 minutes.
Term of use
more than one year

A direct drive washing machine is a worthy invention.
A comment
I doubted for a long time about choosing a washing machine between SAMSUNG and LG, in the end I decided to opt for a LG Direct Drive with direct drive. The washing machine has been serving my family at the moment for a little over a year, although the service life is short, I can already say that I do not regret the purchase.
It actually works silently, only during the spin cycle can you understand that the machine is turned on. Compared to a conventional drive, it’s like heaven and earth.

The dimensions are compact, it takes up little space in the bathroom, but it fits up to 6 kg of laundry in the drum. By the way, the warranty on the drum of this model extends for 10 years, agree a considerable period.
Naturally, I will campaign, everyone will buy cars with direct drive, the invention is good and worthwhile. For such a washing machine it is not a pity to give so much money, quality and comfort are at their best.
pros
Quality, practicality and convenience
Minuses
A little expensive
Term of use
more than three years

The LG F8091LD washing machine with direct drive, I was not pleased.
A comment
At the wedding, relatives presented a washing machine with direct drive from the manufacturer LG F8091LD. This was 3 years ago. The first year I did not know any problems with the washer, the truth worked, not noiselessly, what the manufacturer promised, but everything is bearable.

And after a while I noticed that during work, she literally started jumping on the floor, during the spin cycle, horror generally happened, I even had to keep it so that it would not run off to the middle of the room.
After some time, I began to notice a rattle during the operation of the washer, I do not think that this is a good sign, most likely in the near future I will have to send it to the after-sales service for repair.
As such, I did not see the advantages of a direct drive, so I do not think it makes sense to overpay. Parents have the simplest washing machine and have been working for years now without any problems.
