- Features
- Hard Food Disposer: false (This feature has blades to chop and disintegrate hard food particles, making them small enough to easily drain away. This prevents them from being recirculated back onto dishware and allows for easy maintenance.)
- Drying Method: Condenser drying (Appliances that use heat to dry the dishes will include a heating element or minerals which transform moisture into heat. A fan or vent then circulates the hot dry air throughout the tub during the drying cycle. This may reduce drying time and the risk of water spots. Appliances that use minerals to produce heat are considered more energy efficient than those that include a heating element. Appliances that use condensation drying are considered more energy efficient than those that use heated drying. Instead, high temperature water is produced during the final rinse cycle which warms the interior and eventually condensates and drains out of the machine.)

Pleased
Capacity is good, and with a little bit of rinsing aid, performance is great. This washer is quieter than our previous one, and seems to be far more efficient with cleaning. It does a better job of getting junk off the plate as well. Cleaning time however is a bit long. 2 to 3 hours? Maybe this is for energy efficiency? But that doesn’t make sense. Install installation process was a breeze and we are pleased with our purchase. We have owned this product for about six months and the only thing I can say is that rinsing aid is very important. I heard that there are some issues with leaking depending on the unit but our unit is fine and we have had no issues with leaking.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing cleaning + super quiet — totall
I normally never buy dishwashers when I move into a new home, but our old one finally gave out and I decided to do some research to find a solid replacement that didn’t cost a fortune. After watching reviews on YouTube and checking around online, I chose this LG — and I’m SO glad I did. The cleaning power is unreal. I have before-and-after pictures of a pan I thought was ruined, and this dishwasher made it look brand new again. It’s honestly the best wash and dry performance I’ve ever had in my lifetime of using dishwashers. It runs extremely quiet, fits a ton thanks to the 3rd rack, and everything comes out spotless and fully dry. I’ve never been this impressed with a dishwasher, especially at this price. If you’re hesitant like I was, don’t be — this one is truly worth it. I absolutely love it!

Great dishwasher
I’ve been using the LG 24" Front Control Built-In Stainless Steel Tub Dishwasher for a few months now, and I have to say, it’s been a game changer in my kitchen! The sleek stainless steel finish looks fantastic, and the front control panel is super easy to use. I love how the QuadWash technology gets my dishes sparkling clean without all the noise—it's so quiet at 48dBA that I barely notice it’s running. The extra third rack is a lifesaver for fitting in all my utensils, and the flexible loading options make it really easy to organize everything. While I’ve noticed that some dishes come out a bit damp, it’s still been an excellent choice for keeping my kitchen running smoothly!
