Buying guide

Which LG appliance to choose based on your household and budget?

At Nimestore, LG means around fifty appliances, mostly laundry and cooling. To find the right one, start with your household, your space and your budget. Here are our concrete picks, with the questions to ask yourself before coming into the shop.

In brief
  • Start with the household size and the space
  • Washing machine: the Direct Drive from €499.99
  • Cooling: the class D fridge-freezers are the best compromise
  • Always compare with the Nimesclub member price

The three questions to ask yourself first

  1. How many people are in your household? Household size determines the washing machine's capacity and the fridge's volume.
  2. How much space do you have? Width, height and depth of the space, and the route through doorways to the room.
  3. What budget, and which priorities? Quietness, energy use, comfort, connectivity?

At Nimestore, LG is mainly available in laundry and in refrigeration. For dishwashers and cooking, we only stock one model of each from the brand: we cover them at the end of the page.

Energy use: a small difference on the bill

Almost all LG washing machines are in class A. Between a 9 kg at 49 kWh per 100 cycles and the X Series at 31 kWh, the gap is 18 kWh per 100 washes. At 200 washes a year and €0.35 per kWh, that works out at roughly €13 a year. That's worth having, but first choose the capacity, the quiet and the comfort. Exception: the 15 and 17 kg models in class E use around 100 kWh per 100 cycles, twice as much as an 11 kg. The 20 kg F20F12WST, in class A, is more efficient.

Do you need a tumble dryer?

  • You dry clothes often : a heat pump tumble dryer, such as the RH8N15WH (8 kg, €649.99) or the RH9B15WH (9 kg, €749.99).
  • You have a very large washing machine : the RH8P12WH (18 kg, €1,599.99), with self-cleaning condenser and Smart Pairing.
  • You're short on floor space : the WashTower F214WT8PB (€2,599.99), a 12 kg washer and 10 kg dryer in a single 60 cm column.
  • Only room for one appliance : a washer-dryer, such as the F964R35WRS (9 / 6 kg, €799.99). Drying uses more energy and the drying capacity is smaller.

Here, energy class matters

A fridge runs day and night. Between the GBBSJ10EPY in class E (253 kWh a year) and the GBBSJ10DEP in class D (202 kWh), the difference is about €18 a year for a €100 difference in list price: the class D pays for itself in five to six years. For an American-style model, the GSXE in class D (276 kWh) uses about €25 less a year than a GSLC40 in class E (347 kWh).

Fridge-freezer, American-style, multi-door or twin set?

  • 60 cm fridge-freezer : the most common solution. Check the height: 186 or 203 cm.
  • Twin set: single-door fridge plus freezer (GLT71 and GFT61): the equivalent of an American-style fridge-freezer in two independent 60 cm appliances, to be placed side by side.
  • American : 91 cm wide, ice dispenser, often a water supply to allow for.
  • Multi-door : a full-width fridge on top and a drawer freezer below. The GMG860 models are 83.5 cm wide, slightly narrower than an American-style fridge-freezer.
C
Clément's tip

Come with five measurements: the width, height and depth of the space, plus the width of your front door and kitchen door. For an American-style fridge-freezer, also check whether there's a tap behind the fridge. With this information, we can rule out straight away anything that won't fit.

And for the kitchen?

LG only has two kitchen appliances with us:

  • The dishwasher DF030FL (€499.99): freestanding, 13 place settings, class E, 46 dB. A simple model for a small budget; if energy use matters, compare with better-rated models in our dishwasher buying guide.
  • The built-in oven WS5D7230S (€699.99): 72 litres, class A, AirFry function.

For the hob and extractor hood, you'll need another brand. Our expert sales adviser can help you put together a coherent set.

Before you visit the store

  • Your measurements : location, doors, staircase.
  • For a washing machine: the space to open the door and access to the water tap and drain.
  • For an American-style fridge-freezer: the presence of a water supply.
  • Your old appliance : in Belgium, the Recupel scheme lets you hand in your old appliance when you buy one of the same type. Ask us how it works at Nimestore.

Frequently asked questions

Which LG washing machine for a family of 4?

9 to 11 kg. The F14R15WHS (11 kg, AI DD, €599.99) offers the largest capacity for the best price; the F94R35WHSA (9 kg, €799.99) adds automatic dosing and Wi-Fi.

Which LG fridge-freezer for a small kitchen?

A 60 cm fridge-freezer. The GBBSJ10DEP (333 L, class D, €799.99) is the most energy-efficient; the GBBSJ20DPY (375 L, €849.99) offers more capacity if you have 203 cm of height.

Is the WashTower worth the price?

If you're short on floor space and dry often, yes: you get a proper washing machine and a proper heat pump dryer within 60 cm of width. Otherwise, a washer and dryer pair side by side costs less.

Can you kit out your whole kitchen in LG at Nimestore?

Not entirely: we only have one LG dishwasher and one LG oven, and no hob or hood. For the kitchen, pair LG with another brand.

Do you need an 18 kg LG tumble dryer?

Only with a 15 to 20 kg washing machine. For an 8 to 11 kg washer, an 8 or 9 kg dryer is enough.

What budget for an LG washing machine?

From £499.99 for a basic 8 or 9 kg model, up to £799.99 for a 9 kg AI DD with ezDispense, and over £1,000 for very large capacities. Member prices are often lower.
