LG F1495BD review

WASH PERFORMANCE

To find out how good the LG F1495BD is at cleaning clothes, we put it through a series of tests using our stain strips. View our gallery to see all of the cleaning examples: dirty cloth is at the top of each sample; the clean one is at the bottom.

Wash performance was generally very good, with both the Cotton 30C and Cotton 40C cycles producing similar results. We slightly preferred the 40C wash, which made a better job of dealing with our red wine stain strip, as well as the carbon black/olive oil staining.

We found that the 40C Cotton wash (bottom) produced slightly better results with red wine stains than the 30C Cotton wash (top)

At 30C we were pleased with the cleaning action on our blood stain strip, with the F1495BD doing a good job of reducing the staining.

The 30C Cotton wash did well with our blood stain strip

It might have used more power in our tests, but we were pleased with the quality of the 40C EasyCare clean. It did the best job overall with all types of stains, noticeably cleaning up most of the red wine and doing an excellent job with the carbon black/olive oil stain strip.

Carbon black/olive oil stain removal was very good using the 40C EasyCare cycle

Blood removal was mostly very good, too, although there’s a noticeable blemish of cloth that wasn’t quite cleaned thoroughly. Cocoa removal was very good, though, and we were pleased with how much of the staining the washing machine cleaned up.
