Is the LG Series 4 AI Direct Drive F4Y513WWLN1 worth it?
Yes, if you wash duvets at home and have the depth.
It's LG's 13 kg version of the F4Y511WBLN1: 1400 spin, direct drive, AI DD, steam and an A energy rating, and it uses a little less energy per 100 cycles than the 11 kg. Owners love the big drum and how quiet it usually is. But it's 61.5 cm deep, and the unhappy owners mostly describe it shaking or walking on the spin, plus some damp loads and a drum that felt smaller than they expected for 13 kg. No independent test we can read has been published, so this verdict rests on LG's specs and verified owner reviews.

How we reached this verdict
No independent test we can read has been published. The specs come from LG UK: 13 kg, 1400 rpm, A energy class at 44 kWh per 100 cycles, 72 dB on the spin, 61.5 cm deep (65.5 cm with the door), AI DD, steam, no Wi-Fi and an Eco 40-60 cycle of 240 minutes. The Currys pool (Currys, AO and other shops, white and grey) has 549 verified owner reviews of the 13 kg model, and 13 rate it 3 stars or less. Owners most often praise how quiet it is and how much it holds; the unhappy ones mostly describe shaking on the spin, then damp clothes and a drum smaller than they hoped.
