LG DUAL Dry 11kg Wash 6kg Dry 1400rpm Washer Dryer vs Series 3 Counter-Depth MAX 8kg Wash 5kg Dry 1200rpm Washer Dryer — Comparison

The LG DUAL Dry 11kg Wash 6kg Dry 1400rpm Washer Dryer - FWY916WBTN1 at £799 and the LG Series 3 Counter-Depth MAX 8kg Wash 5kg Dry 1200rpm Washer Dryer - FWY385WWLN1 at £479 are same-brand alternatives in LG's washer-dryer line-up. The FWY916WBTN1 is the premium high-capacity model, while the FWY385WWLN1 is the compact Series 3 option. The comparison is practical: 11/6kg connected performance against counter-depth 8/5kg affordability, and whether the price difference buys capacity, integration or extra convenience.

Spec-wise, FWY916WBTN1 offers 11kg washing, 6kg drying, 1400rpm spin, TurboWash 360, Steam, AI Direct Drive, LG ThinQ and a D energy rating. By contrast, FWY385WWLN1 offers Counter-Depth MAX design, 8kg washing, 5kg drying, 1200rpm spin, Steam Function, AI Direct Drive & TurboWash and an E energy rating. The DUAL Dry gives 3kg more washing, 1kg more drying, 200rpm extra spin speed, ThinQ connectivity and a better D rating; the Series 3 saves £320 and fits shallower spaces. The decision is therefore about space, load size, drying routine and which features you will genuinely use.

The FWY916WBTN1 suits large households, frequent laundry days and users who want remote control features. It makes sense for buyers who can justify £799 for capacity and connectivity. The FWY385WWLN1 suits smaller homes, apartments and kitchens where counter-depth fit is a bigger priority. It keeps useful LG technology and steam, but trades away capacity, spin speed and the stronger energy rating. Consider weekly washing volume, how often you dry full loads, and whether the appliance must hide behind cabinetry or can stand freely.

Bottom line: choose FWY916WBTN1 if you want the biggest LG option here with 11/6kg capacity, ThinQ and TurboWash 360 / opt for FWY385WWLN1 if you need a cheaper Counter-Depth MAX washer dryer with 8/5kg capacity and Steam Function.
