Pros

• Great wash & dry capacity for families
• Smart features & app control
• Steam care for hygiene and crease reduction
• Durable direct drive motor with fewer moving parts

Cons

• Takes up more floor space than a separate washer
• Drying capacity (7kg) is smaller than wash capacity — for very large wash loads you may need to dry in batches
• Price can be higher than basic washers — you pay for smart & drying features

Buying tip: If you plan to dry heavy items (blankets, large quilts) regularly, check the dry load recommendation in the manual — front-load washer-dryers have limits for heat-drying bulky items.

Best use cases & program suggestions

1. Daily clothes: Use a normal/cotton program with quick wash if lightly soiled.
2. Allergy-prone family members: Use steam sanitise or allergy-care program.
3. Delicates: Choose the gentle / delicate program and avoid high spin speeds.
4. Mixed heavy loads: Split into two loads if drying; wash everything together only if within the weight limits.

Verdict

The LG FHD1107SWM is a premium, smart washer-dryer that combines strong washing performance with useful drying and fabric-care features. For households that need a reliable all-in-one machine with smart controls and steam hygiene functions, it is worth the investment. If you only need basic washing and are on a tight budget, a separate washer and a simpler dryer (or air drying) might be more economical.
