Assessment

The LG WS5D7230G stands out for a functional specification well above the category average. The 72-litre cavity — generous for a 60 cm oven — and 5 cooking levels allow multi-rack cooking without quality loss. The 11 programmes cover the full range of domestic needs: from conventional static and fan cooking to wide grill, Air Fry for crispy results with minimal oil, the dedicated pizza mode optimised for high-temperature cooking, and the proving function with controlled temperature, particularly useful for bread and leavened dough preparation at home. Pyrolytic cleaning drastically simplifies maintenance: simply collect the ash after the cycle completes. The 4-glass insulation keeps the outer door surface at a safe temperature, improving safety. The black finish integrates naturally with dark contemporary kitchens, pairing effortlessly with stone worktops and black surfaces.
