LG 6Motion 8kg 1400rpm Smart Washing Machine - Slate Grey vs 13kg 1400rpm Washing Machine - White — Comparison

The F4X1008NMK is the LG F4X1008NMK 6Motion 8kg 1400rpm Smart Washing Machine in Slate Grey, priced at £419. The F4Y513WWLN1 is the LG F4Y513WWLN1 13kg 1400rpm Washing Machine in White at £499. In LG’s range, the F4X1008NMK is the smaller smart, fabric-care focused model, while the F4Y513WWLN1 is the larger-capacity family machine with newer AI Direct Drive and TurboWash emphasis.

The F4X1008NMK has an 8kg drum, 1400rpm spin, 10 programmes, LG ThinQ Wi-Fi connectivity, 6Motion Direct Drive, LG’s Steam Technology and an A energy rating. The F4Y513WWLN1 raises capacity dramatically to 13kg while keeping 1400rpm and an A rating. It adds AI Direct Drive and TurboWash, but the supplied specification does not list Wi-Fi, steam or 10 programmes, so its advantage is load size and fast intelligent washing.

Choose the F4X1008NMK if your household is smaller, you want app connectivity through LG ThinQ, and steam care or 6Motion wash action is more useful than a huge drum. It is also £80 cheaper and comes in slate grey. The F4Y513WWLN1 suits big families, shared homes and anyone washing duvets or large weekly loads, where 13kg capacity and TurboWash can save time across fewer cycles. For installation planning, also consider that both are front-load washing machines in the same category, so day-to-day ownership will be shaped less by brand feel and more by drum size, cycle speed, energy rating, finish, and whether you will actually use the smart, steam, hygiene, delay or auto-cleaning features regularly over the next few years.

Bottom line: "choose F4X1008NMK if you want a cheaper 8kg smart LG with ThinQ, 6Motion and steam / opt for F4Y513WWLN1 if you need the 13kg drum, AI Direct Drive and TurboWash for heavier family laundry."
