Replaced a 20 year old Jenn Air that probably cost twice as much. We almost went Bosch but the racks felt like dragging metal on concrete and we loved the ball bearing racks on the LG. I've been using this dishwasher nightly for 2 weeks and am ready to review. TL;Dr - It's fantastic! We use equate brand liquid dishwasher detergent and dry aid. So no frills. I run auto > steam > dry boost > night dry options. Wash quality: Dishes come out spotless and most importantly, bone DRY. EVEN TUPPERWARE. This has never been possible before with our Jenn Air. Bonus: The 3rd rack is useful for big knives, small lids, and some other utensils. Size: This thing is huge!! But it sticks out less than 1/2 and inch from the counter. The metal prongs are extremely sturdy and easily folded to make room for other size dishes. I like the LG's more standardized layout vs the Bosch 800 which felt like pure chaos. Finish: We love the non finger print stainless. For those concerned it looks JUST LIKE STAINLESS and not a cheap sticker. Matches our unbranded Samsung fridge and Jenn Air appliances 100%. Lighting: We love the interior lights. It's a little extra touch. Noise: Sound? What sound. This baby is so quiet I can't even hear it while standing in the same room. Drying: The night dry option with the fan that blows moisture out of the interior throughout the night is GENIUS for people who aren't there to immediately put away clean dishes. Summary:For the price I think this is the Bentley of dishwashers and I'm very happy with our purchase. It's also easy to install yourself. You only need a new dishwasher water line. Everything else is in the box.

I replaced my 15-year-old Whirlpool, which was a total workhorse but had started shorting out. After a lot of research, I initially went with a Bosch 500. It was whisper-quiet, but I couldn’t stand the lower rack design and had alignment issues with the middle rack’s back nozzle. Since we were still within the Best Buy 15-day return window, we swapped it out for this 42dB LG, even though I was a bit hesitant due to LG’s reputation for reliability issues. PROS: Rack Design: Absolutely love it. Super customizable and user-friendly! Interior Lights: Game changer. Makes loading and unloading so much easier. Buttons: Intuitive, simple, great options! App: Easy to use CONS: Noise Levels: This was the biggest disappointment. Despite being rated at 42dB, the LG pumps water out multiple times during a single cycle! And it’s LOUD! Poor Sound Insulation: The fill line is positioned right at the front of the unit, so you hear everything. The kick plate does almost nothing to buffer sound, and the bottom of the unit is essentially open, allowing even more noise to escape. Inconsistent Cleaning: We rinse dishes thoroughly before loading, yet sometimes food residue still remains. We've had to stick to the Normal cycle, since the Heavy cycle seems to have 6–9 separate fill/drain cycles, which gets super annoying and LOUD. Drying: Dishes still come out with water on top of coffee mugs and on plastics. Need to test with longer dry functions. Summary: When it’s in a washing phase, it is quiet, but the frequent draining and filling really kill the peace you'd expect from a 42dB machine.

Cleans decent and is very quiet. Drying could be better especially at this price point of a dishwasher. I have found that you need to hit the dry boost button twice to put it in high mode. It has a night dry which runs a fan periodically at night too. I love that all of the tines fold down on the first two racks and some fold down on the 3rd rack as well. There is no spray bar for the 3rd rack so keep that in mind when loading it. Everything loaded into the 3rd rack has to be almost completely clean beforehand or you will be washing them again. First 2 racks clean fine. Love the height adjustments on the racks. I have included a picture to help you visualize the room available for washing. As you can see it will fit normal sizes dinner plates with an oversize slushi machine container and still fit the tumblers on the second rack. It also has a built-in light which i didn't realize how nice that is until i got this dishwasher. Overall its a nice dishwasher, i got it on sale display model for 450 and would definitely buy again at that price point. However if you're looking to spend 1000+ which is what it normally costs i would look to a newer model that pops the door open to help drying, and perhaps cleans a bit better instead of this one.

I read so many reviews and looked at all the dishwasher brands/models on display in stores. This model has all the features and bells/whistles available without spending $2k+ #1 interior led lighting is a big plus! #2 built-in ph app control w/Alexa & Google with having to buy a separate module #3 real steam for pre-wash/wash cycles #4 10 cycles options & programs #5 changeable ending cycle songs #6 quad lower spray arm #7 real blower hot air drying #8 The best adjustable racks I've ever seen in a dishwasher. I've had different dishwashers for over 50 yrs and this one's been the very best at cleaning, drying plus so very very quiet too! And yes, I sure did buy the 5 yr service warranty coverage too for more peace of mind.

I recently purchased the LG dishwasher with 42dba that allows for conversations to continue uninterrupted, even in close proximity to the appliance. This is a game-changer, especially for those who value a peaceful home environment. Besides its quiet charm, the cleaning capabilities of the LG dishwasher are commendable. It tackles tough stains and dried-on food with ease, leaving dishes spotless. The adjustable racks and well-thought-out interior design make loading and unloading so much easier.. if you're in the market for a quiet, high-performing dishwasher, the LG model is certainly worth considering. I am pleased with my purchase and would recommend it to those seeking a top-tier dishwasher with a focus on quiet functionality.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the LG dishwasher for our new construction home and it does a great job cleaning our dishes and silverware.

I tegret biying this unit. It leaves my dishes sopping wet. The shortest cycle is over an hour and the longest cycle which is what you need to get a full load done and less wet with the so called “air dry” is over 3 hours. A dishwasher is supposed to help you save time and money using less water. Tbis unit is a fail!

We bought this a couple months ago. We are loving how quiet it is. My husband installed it himself and said it was pretty easy to do. What I don't like is that the racks have folding slots, and they are always coming down when I don't want them to.

I bought this dishwasher in a package of 3 appliances for a kitchen renovation. I love the sleek outside with no visible buttons, the ease of use, the space inside, and the powerful jets that clean very well. My main concern was noise level as we have an open concept home, and this dishwasher is so quiet I forget that it's running. Well done, LG.
