After some wavering between the F1480QDS (steam system) and this machine, I have decided for this FD-model which, although no steam system (for I somehow no meaningful use) but for a higher loading capacity.
Delivery: On New Years Eve I had ordered the machine, 3 days later, Hermes reported and announced that the machine should be delivered the next morning at 7 clock. Promptly at 6:55 stopped the truck in front of the house and 2 friendly suppliers managed me the machine to the first floor, without a murmur because of compelling to external staircase ... and then they were gone again - I call that a prompt delivery. The box was a bit depressed at one corner and I already feared the worst when I unpacked the machine, but it was well packed and without prejudice - it was only the cardboard. I had by the early delivery still so much time that I set up the machine yet, connect, adjust and was able to test the short program before I made my way to work just fine.
First impression: As expected, the new F1480FD high on the same good level as the old one, a bit more programs, some more advanced washing technology (6 different drum movements), with 9kg whole 2kg more load volume, 10-year warranty on the motor and before especially more economical in water and electricity consumption, while nice and quiet - these are the key figures. On the list of all the technical data I want to do without, because that can be found in the product description or on the LG website. The machine is now on a solid base, which is why I now hope for an even longer life. Various wash programs I could try out already and so far I am completely satisfied, which is why I forgive so far 5 Stars. For a more intensive assessment but it still requires a longer test period. The experience I will add on occasion times.
