LG washing machine weight

Even its owners will not be able to name the approximate weight of an LG washing machine. This is understandable, since many buyers are more interested in the capacity of the drum, the number of washing programs and other technical characteristics of the machine. At the same time, information about how much the machine weighs will help you not only get to know your “home assistant” better, but also extend its service life and make installation easier. Why are kg so important and how heavy are LG models?

Various models and their weight

The basic characteristics of LG models, despite the common brand and similar design, vary greatly. Thus, the weight of washing machines varies from 45 kg to almost 150 kg, and the parameter depends on the type of load, capacity, type of installation and other operational indicators. Conventionally, all washing equipment can be divided into three groups: heavy, “medium” and light. A brief review of three weighted slot machines will help you find out how they differ.

• LG TW7000DS. One of the heaviest washing machines in the LG range, the weight of which reaches 148.7 kg, and the width, depth and height are 70 cm, 84 cm and 135 cm, respectively. Moving and transporting such a colossus will be problematic even for two adult men, but the machine offers rich functionality. This is a freestanding front model with a hatch capacity of 20.5 kg, direct drive, display and timer. Efficiency and energy consumption classes are at level “A”, and the spin speed of the drum reaches 1000 rpm. There are 14 standard modes, including night, express, children's, sports, as well as steam, washing down, wool and bulky clothes.
  

Most washing machines from LG weigh 65-75 kg.

• LG TW351W.This model is one of the lightest washing machines from LG. The weight of the TW7000DS is only 48.7 kg, and the height is 36 cm. Externally, the machine does not even look like a household appliance: it looks like a metal drawer. Despite its rather modest dimensions, the washing machine can hold up to 3.5 kg of laundry with the ability to reload, has a display and is controlled from a smartphone. But other technical characteristics are clearly inferior to full-size models. Thus, the energy consumption class is marked “B”, the washing efficiency is at the “G” level, and the spin cycle with a maximum of 700 revolutions reaches only “E”. The list continues with six basic modes, automatic control of foam formation and drum imbalance, complete leakage protection and dashboard locking.
• LG F-1496AD3 Models weighing 60-70 kg are considered the “golden mean”, and one of them is the LG F-1496AD3 with a weight of 62 kg. This is a “medium” front-facing machine with a load of up to 8 kg, a display, direct drive and body dimensions of 60/55/85 cm. The advantage of the machine is the presence of a dryer with a capacity of 4 kg and engine acceleration of 1400 rpm. Energy consumption is in class “B”, but the washing efficiency is maximum due to 13 programs and a delayed start of up to 19 hours. The manufacturer has also thought out a safety system, since the “Aquastop” function is built-in, the dashboard is child-proof, and imbalance and foaming are controlled automatically.
  

Finding out in the store how much an LG machine weighs is not difficult. The manufacturer indicates the parameter on the factory sticker, and the seller duplicates the number of kilograms on the price tag or labeling. This information is also written down in the user manual in the general characteristics section.

Why do we need such information?

It is worth finding out the weight of the washing machine you are purchasing not only out of interest, but also for purely practical reasons. In some situations, it is necessary to find out how many kilograms a machine gun weighs at the stage of selecting a suitable model.. For example, the weight indicator must be specified if:

• Delivery of the machine will require climbing to a high floor. First, elevators have limited lifting capacity. Secondly, loaders must know how much weight they will have to work with;
• The mobility of the model is important. Those who move frequently should check in advance about the weight of the washing machine. Otherwise, the next move will be complicated by transporting a heavy washing machine;

The heavier the washing machine, the less it will vibrate during washing and spinning.

• a narrow machine is selected. Compact washing machines are excellent space savers, but because of this they are lightweight and small. support area. As a result, the washing machine can “jump” and vibrate strongly during the cycle, which threatens the wires, communications and internal elements of the unit. Therefore, it is recommended to give preference to heavy models or look for equipment with a built-in “Auto-balancing” function;
• It is expected to wash heavy and bulky items. If you often wash down jackets, blankets and other bulky items in the machine, then it is better to avoid lightweight models. In this case, a clogged drum will quickly throw the machine out of balance, which will lead to strong vibration, “jumps” and other troubles;
• I want a free-standing model with a load of 7 kg. As a rule, built-in washing machines are more stable due to their attachment to the furniture frame. Standard machines cannot boast of this, so very capacious units with a drum volume of 7 kg or more must be heavy.

When buying a washing machine, you should find out all its characteristics, from the body material to the set of factory washing programs. We pay special attention to weight, since the duration of operation, speed of delivery and complexity of installation depend on the dimensions of the machine.
