LG - 24" Front Control Built-In Dishwasher with QuadWash and Stainless Steel Tub - Stainless steel

We may be a little biased since this unit is so much better than our 20-year-old, plastic tub washer. Now the question is whether this will have the same longevity. Ole Betsy may not have looked good but it did clean and it has worked for years. Cleaning: A good amount of cleaning settings, but I've always found that I settle on a single setting and always use it since I'm a creature of habit. You can clean zones (upper/lower), do a heavy, normal or quick wash. We mostly put it on auto-sense. Even though it uses more energy to have it heat the water more since we found that it improved performance. The first couple runs on normal saw some food still on the silverware, on the normal run without the extra hot water. Switch to auto-sense and the hot water and haven't had an issue. Space: There feels like there is tons of room in this. There are some tines on both racks that can be laid flat. On the bottom, this really opens it up to putting in large pots and big bowls. We can fit in so much more than our last machine, so we love it, but this may be less of a difference for you if you had a newer machine. Drying: No heating element. We wash daily but do so in the evening, so we set it to night dry. We haven't put jet dry in and it has still done an admirable job. Plastic will not get dry since it just doesn't get hot enough. The metal tub will pull the condensation to it and away from the dishes, in addition to the fan blowing through. So if you don't use plastic much, I think you'll find the drying is solid. Looks: Great stainless steel look. It does show up fingerprints fairly easily, but I don't know how it compares to other stainless steel units. Value: We got it around the holiday sale time, so I think this was a great value but only time will tell.

My old one had lasted almost 20 years before giving up the ghost. I have a smaller than average space and it limited the number of units I could use. I settled on this one for various reasons, but ultimately it was the best available in my price range. PROS: --It is so quiet compared to my older unit. I was so used to hearing it upstairs on the other side of the house. --Yes, the drying cycle is 3:10 with extra dry on. However, I run it overnight or odd hours. No worries. Most dishes are dry. The only issue seems to be my mugs which hold water on top of them. In this case, it is the item in the unit and not the unit itself. --Stainless steel inside so there is no smell or yellowing over time. My old washer was annoying to clean and smelled. I would have to run a wash with vinegar or finish every other week. There was no reason for this except age. --Installation: the gentlemen were quick, quiet and professional. Everything was done and I was hovering a bit to ensure I knew what was going on etc. They explained everything, showed me what they were doing and were quite pleasant about it. The main installer actually showed me how to fix minor (super simple) issues should they come up. CONS: --The silverware unit is overly large. It ends up taking some space away from where dishes can be placed. I am looking at a smaller piece I can put in the washer itself. --It is so much smaller on the inside compared to my older unit. This will be an adjustment for me. I have had to reevaluate how I put items inside it as well as how often I run it. Overall, I am happy with it. If that changes, I will update this post.

Looks great and has many (too many?) settings to fuss with. My unit malfunctioned about two weeks after installation, code AE, which meant there was a water leak. Well everything seemed dry. But you can't operate it when this occurs. Bummer. And it beeps and the LED lights are on all the time telling you about the error. Only way to stop was to shut off power at the circuit breaker. Warranty repair took about a week to get scheduled, which was not that good. The day before the repair was to happen I turned on the power to the machine and the error code was gone. Go figure. So I called the repair shop and told them what happened and decided that we would use it over the weekend and see what happened. It worked fine - so repair was put off. And then it errored out again in about ten days. The repair person found some looseness in the tub which he tightened up and we haven't had a problem for over two months now. Knock on stainless. It really is remarkably quiet, you have to listen hard to hear it in the normal mode and it can't be heard from the adjacent rooms. Quite a change from the older GE model we had which almost drowned out the TV in the living room while it was running. Overall I would say it is a nice item. The factory defect, although minor, once repaired seems to be a thing of the past. I would take a look at this if you are in the market, oh yeah, the dishes are very clean!

I will never buy an LG product again. Dishwasher was delivered to the residence with a hole in the drain hose. After setting up the service appointment and having the repairman cancel on me 5 times, 3 times on the day he was to arrive, the part LG ordered came in. Unfortunately it was the wrong part. They reordered the part and when it arrived it was the wrong part again. After a month I was told that the part is not warranty covered. I had to order and pay for it myself. When it arrived and was installed, the dishwasher ran....for about 10 minutes. The display screen went out and the unit would not restart. Called LG again on a Thursday. Was told service would arrive on Monday. Service repair man called Monday and advised that LG never sent the work order to them. Called LG again and was now told that it would be a 3 to 5 day wait to process the work order. Now on hold with LG for the last 35 minutes awaiting a response from them. I've had the dishwasher for a month and have been able to use it for a whopping 10 minutes. I would not recommend this product to my worst enemy. I rated this one star only because I had to as there was no option for negative stars or a zero star.

I researched dishwashers for several months and I finally pulled the trigger on this machine and am so glad that I finally did! This machine met my criteria for the perfect dishwasher...1) It's beautiful, sleek and modern looking 2) it cleans and dries dishes efficiently. BTW all modern machines take about 3 hrs. and there is a quick load, which is about one hour. 3) this machine dries dishes by using fans and evaporation, like the European machines. I did not want steam to exit machine and into my cabinet! (most of the machines I looked at do exactly this, which is crazy!) I guess it's not attractive to have steam vent on the face of machine, where it can't harm cabinets over time. 4) I wanted to have controls and timing display where I can see it during cycle. 5) collapsable tines in upper and lower racks 6) top rack is adjustable 7) quick load option 8) quiet 9) stainless interior 10) smudge proof stainless. 11) $600 range. Look no further, just buy it! I'm so happy I did.

We purchased this to match the other LG products in our kitchen that we have been very happy with. The look is great. Very sleek. The first couple of days we were disappointed in performance then realized we were not supposed to be rinsing our dishes… Imagine that! Since then it’s been cleaning and rinsing very well. Two small disappointments: 1.the bottom rack has a fairly large open row with no spikes…kind of a no man’s land. Perfect if you have a lot of large things all of the time, but a bummer if you have lots of plates or bowls. Also, the top rack has four rows of slanted spikes which,depending on usage, can be frustrating if you’re trying to put in a lot of cups( they don’t slide on nicely up and down.) 2. I can’t remember how long my old DW ran for, but this normal cycle is 2:28. Seems long to me but maybe it’s the digital display that makes it seem like it’s taking forever as it counts down minute-by-minute. Overall pretty happy and it beats handwashing so I’m not disappointed in my purchase at all:)

Bought an LG set of appliances....we are happy with everything but this really bad dishwasher. My house is only 14 years old, new plumbing, I even installed new copper pipes to make this a near perfect install. ran the few cycles and followed manual instructions before running load of dishes. We are a family of 5 and we rely on our dishwashers. First few loads were absolutely terrible...not just spots, but a slimy , almost oily coating. We used Jet Dry to help the situation, and after about 6 loads now...still as bad as the first or second. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, so unhappy I wouldve taken the entire LG set back if I knew this dishwasher was going to be so bad. Oh well, it is what it is, guess I'll be washing dishes in the sink a lot more now! Will go back to another appliance brand after this experience. no more LG

This dishwasher replaced an 8 year old whirlpool unit that was noisy beyond repair. I read the reviews and bought his one on sale. I was very happy with how quiet it operated. The only thing you could hear was water swishing around inside. It’s three months later and the decibels have gone from ~45 to 65db. Not happy. Calling fo warranty repair tomorrow. One item to note for other buyers, this unit does not have heating elements in it. That is why it gets such a great energy rating. It dries dishes through very hot water and a fan that expels moisture. This works great if you make sure “Extra Dry” is selected, and the night mode is selected. Night mode cycles the evaporation fan for 6-8 hours, and helps any wet dishes dry out a bit more.
