Features

  • QuadWash Technnology

    LG’s exclusive QuadWash technology gets dishes clean the first time. With four spray arms instead of just two, QuadWash uses Multi-Motion arms that rotate back and forth while spinning to power-clean dishes from multiple angles throughout the entire cycle.

  • Dynamic Dry Technology

    Drying clean dishes by hand just to be able to unload the dishwasher is a huge time suck—but not anymore. Dynamic Dry technology on all LG dishwashers uses a 2-stage drying system for faster, more complete drying.

  • The high-temp final rinse heats dishes while the stainless interior cools and pulls moisture away. A fan in the door then vents the warm, moist air and draws in dry, exterior air. So you get drier dishes and more time back in your day.

  • EasyRack Plus

    EasyRack Plus lets you fit more dishes, run fewer loads and make short work of after-dinner cleanup. With three height settings, the upper rack adjusts effortlessly and smoothly to make room for tall stemware on top or oversize pans below.

  • Customizable tines offer greater flexibility for loading dishes of all shapes and sizes without compromising cleaning performance.

  • Third Rack

    From flatware to long-handled utensils to mini tart pans, items that may otherwise need to be washed by hand finally have their place in the dishwasher. The convenient 3rd rack holds more items so you can save time and wash fewer loads.

  • PrintProof Finish

    PrintProof finish resists fingerprints and smudges to keep your kitchen looking its best. All the things you love about stainless steel appliances - the premium look, professional-grade durability - without needing special cleaners or constant attention.

  • Front Control Panel With LED Display

    The control panel is conveniently placed on the front of the dishwasher for immediate access to every feature and setting. And with the easy-to-read LED display, you can check the status of your dishes with just a glance.

  • LoDecibel Operation (48 dB)

    Run the dishwasher whenever you want—day or night. The 48 dB cleaning cycle is whisper-quiet, so you won’t worry about interrupting post-dinner-party conversations or naptime. Especially important for homes with open floor plans where sound readily travels.

  • NFC Tag On Technology

    What if you could customize your washer or dryer so it only has the cycles you want? LG’s NFC Tag-On technology lets you download new cycles directly from your smartphone. Download the app, select your new cycle and touch, or “tag,” your LG appliance to download your selection.

  • What else can NFC Tag-On do? From one-touch cycle options that help you choose the right setting to instant solutions to your troubleshooting questions, LG puts smarter, simpler dishwashing in the palm of your hand.

  • 10-Year Warranty on Inverter Direct Drive Motor

    LG’s efficient Inverter Direct Drive motor has fewer moving parts and no belts for powerful cleaning that uses less energy and saves you money. It performs so reliably it’s backed by a 10-year limited warranty for added peace of mind.

    ENERGY STAR Certified.

    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.

    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!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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 though a tad slow

    Cleans & dries well & easy to operate. It is much slower though than the machine it replaced (granted that was a Kitchenaid that cost over $1k), taking nearly 3 hours on auto. There is a turbo mode that I haven’t tried yet. We generally run it overnight so speed isn’t a big deal. The machine is quiet, maybe just a hair louder (if that) than the much more expensive Kitchenaid. Installation from Best Buy was fast & easy, though we did need to get a GCCI outlet installed which we were not aware of which the installation people charged an extra $125 for

    Excellent dishwasher, with unique features.

    I have had this wonderful dishwasher for almost 4 weeks, and I could not be more satisfied. It appears to be well made, so I anticipate being extremely satisfied. Some interesting details: it is very quiet—not silent, but quiet enough that it’s not annoying even when I’m in the kitchen. It’s very efficient and cleans even baked on food—with a caveat: the instructions MUST be followed! I usually use it’s “automatic” cycle, which sets its functions to do it’s thing in the best way. But that doesn’t work on baked on food. The instructions have the solution! They recommend doing a rinse cycle after putting the baked on dishes in the washer. It’s only 12 minutes, without soap, and there’s no drying—everything stays damp literally all day if that’s done in the morning before doing a normal “automatic” wash cycle. And then, presto, everything comes out clean as a whistle. Wow! So believe the instructions. The instructions also insist that a liquid rinse aid MUST be used. And that’s also true, because the drying cycle is different from every other dishwasher. There is no heating element, only a fan and time. So I run the “automatic” cycle at night before going to bed, and I set “overnight dry”, which is a form of extra dry. In the morning, the dishes are spotlessly clean, and they are completely dry. Wow! Besides the “rinse” and “automatic” settings, I have used the “heavy” setting once, to wash the grids from my gas range. Wow again! They came out absolutely clean. Incidentally, I installed the dishwasher myself. The installation instructions are clear and easy to follow. The only difficulty I had was that the old dishwasher had been installed with truly cobbled plumbing, which I had to remove before doing it right. I’m not a plumber, so that took some effort. Also, because there’s not a lot of room under the dishwasher because of its large cavity, I’m glad I have small fingers to connect the plumbing and electricity. Lastly, I have to complement the guys who brought it. Just like every other appliance I have purchased from Best Buy, it was delivered early—scheduled for 2 to 6, and delivered shortly after noon, and they brought it in carefully. Great service!
