Customer Ratings & Reviews

This dishwasher is a great value. It's extremely quiet and easy to use.

Quiet operation..........hidden controls............smooth surface..............

I purchased this dishwasher 3 weeks ago and it was working nicely. But now I am getting the error code LE. I contacted customer service and here is their reply: The LE error code means a Motor Error, indicating the unit has sensed something wrong with the motor operation. This could be caused by the motor or the wiring harness between the motor and the control board. This will require service. This being a brand new dishwasher, I would expect it to work longer than three weeks. I was told that the quality of LG is very good but with this I am not see it. I am giving the 1 star rating because quality has more to do with value for price than features or performance.

Two years and two calls to repairman, total junk. Had it two years and calling a repairman for the second time, probably has stopped working 10-15 times but usually can get it going again. Don't ever buy

Unit constantly seized and would chime/run constantly. Had to cut power and get service three times. Needed up replacing with a warranty to another brand.

After Best Buy techs installed the machine they discovered a broken door latch making the dishwasher unusable. Best Buy did not have any more LG's in stock, forcing me to buy another brand dishwasher. I am very disappointed with the whole transaction.

Pros: -Oh so very quiet -Many options, upper, lower, stronger spray selection -Looks great -Many dish options, movable interior -Lowering of top tray, awesome for fitting many large dishes -Sings to me when it's done -Touch panel is great (needs to be lighted though, it;s not) -Clean dishes -Need to use gel dishwashing liquid then all is good -May power options -Fits large pots perfectly -Great interior setup -Built well -Looks awesome, clean look -Did I mention it's super quiet? Cons -Touch panel needs to be lighted -Water stains on outside of stainless steel needs vinegar and baking soda to clean it Overall this is a 5 star dishwasher. The negative reviews says it breaks down after so many months. Has not happened yet but cautiously optimistic so far. I use it daily and it makes me very happy. I can start a wash right before bed and I barely hear it, if at all. I'm 15' feet from it as I live in a small house. I would highly recommend this washer but I'm starting to think about a warranty for it just to be safe. As with anything fully electronic I'm wary but so far I'm 100% satisfied.

I am so glad to have a new dishwasher, but it does take some time to figure out how to load the upper rack. Doesn't seem like the glasses have a place where they fit the best. This isn't a deal breaker for me, just so used to my old one I guess. Overall, it's super quiet - you can hardly tell it's on. Their advertising about that is right on. Cleans very well and am happy with it.

I would not buy this product again, based on the poor dry cycle

Like the dishwasher overall but you do have to stoop very low to fill it. The racks are a laid out a lot different from my old dishwasher so I struggle a little with how to get dishes to fit, but the prongs are adjustable but this takes time and most of the time I don't bother and just move the dishes around until they finally stand up the way I want. Love the music it plays at the beginning and end of the cycles. It's fun to all of the sudden hear a tune being played from the kitchen. Cleans very well and dishes are always dry when I take them out.

After taking the advice of numerous so called experts some years back I bought a kitchen aide dishwasher . A major piece of trash requiring two pump changes, broken door hinges, faulty food disposal mechanism, frequent odors, poor drainage , mega noise and worst of all poorly cleaned dishes. best moment for the kitchen aide is watching it being removed from my home two months ago. Enter the lg stainless steel dishwasher. Two months in and all is spectacular. Clean dishes, no odors, no remaining water in the tub after the cycle is completed, quiet operation and low and behold squeakily clean dishes. This dishwasher is a great find and superior value for the price. As for best buy they had the best price, with free delivery and the whole transactions was pleasing and seamless. If your in the market for a new dishwasher save some dough and some headaches and balk on the kitchen aide and move into an lg.

I had this first generation LG dishwasher 7 years ago. Hopefully they have all the bugs worked out. The IE message showed up (2X) and the water wouldn't drain, but it was all covered under an extended 3 year warranty. I recently purchased a Bosch. I saw another review where their Bosch only lasted 7 years as well. I used my LG dishwasher every day and sometimes twice a day, and could fit all the pans and dishes into a single load. The Bosch is smaller so the dishes and pans do not fit in a single wash. The normal cycle is nearly 2 hours and the bottom of washer is plastic with an odd odor. The LG is quieter than the Bosch. You are suppose to rinse the dishes b/f you put them in a dishwasher. That is normal for any brand to extend the life of your dishwasher. Watch out when you pull the adhesive plastic off the Bosch door. It popped open and the top of the door cut / bruised my forehead after delivery.

It is a really good dishwasher and cleans very well. The cycle is fairly long and does not dry the dishes which is a bummer but overall I am very happy with the performance of the dishwasher. It is also very quiet and makes fun sounds when the cycle is over.

This dishwaser was a good value for the price we paid. It will hold a lot of silverware and dishes. The racks on the bottom can be configured in a variety of ways. I'm still working on finding out the best way to place my plates so that they don't fall over. There is no heating element so you can place plastics on lower rack, however some dishes don't get completely dry. I usually open the door a bit after the cycle to help them dry completely. I really like that the controls are on top of the door and hidden so that children can't easily push them.

I went to Best Buy looking to replace a dishwasher that was only 7 years old and was intent on buying a Bosch. Then I saw this LG. As a family of two, we use the rinse feature a lot, because we can sometimes go 3-5 days without running a load. Not only did the LG have this feature, but it also has what I'll call a customizable dish layout - nearly all the tines can be folded away in "odd sets", so you can go from many to some to none with ease. The problem is that some tines, when holding many dishes that are pressing them, will sometimes collapse on their own. This doesn't mean that the dishes fall over, it just means the tines are no longer locked in place, but they haven't fallen over, either. A few things I've noticed in the month we've owned this: 1. It's quiet. Not whisper, I'm not sure it's on quiet, but I can't believe this is as loud as it gets quiet. In addition to being well insulated, it also runs (according to the manual) either the upper or lower sprayers one at a time, never together, to maximize water pressure and minimize noise. 2. It has a green "I'm working" light. It's a small LED on the front that makes the room look a little like a UFO is landing. Not that it's crazy bright, just the way it projects a green blinking circle across the room. 3. The blue "I'm done" light doesn't mean that the dishes are clean, just that the chosen cycle is done. This is a disappointment, because when I run a rinse, the blue light makes it look like the dishes should be clean. 4. I have overloaded this sucker and everything came out acceptably clean. Yes, where a few dishes were touching there was a little grit, but that's a few spots out of many touching dishes, no pre-rinsing, and we're talking a dinner party with 6 adults with appetizers, an entree with sides, dessert, coffee, and wine, and I fit everything including the serving bowls and stemware. My old dishwasher was not up to that task by a lot. 5. Because the tines are adjustable, I can make sure everything fits in properly. Plus, the top shelf is adjustable, so I can raise or lower it depending upon whether the dishes are oversized or the stemware is tall. 6. There is no heated dry, but because it heats the water, it uses some sort of internal fan to circulate air for very dry dishes at the end of the dry cycle. This doesn't add any noise to the operation. 7. Last and most important, it looks good. Nicely finished and well built. I installed it myself (I have done this before), and had to make a few changes to the layout of the hoses going to and from the sink. Not a big deal at all.

The reviews all said the rack design was lacking. Once we played around a little bit, we got them to work ok. Bowls seem to be the problem. For ours, spreading the racks slightly worked just fine, I imagine it would be different for each style of dishes. The dishwasher is very quiet, very quiet. Bought the matching fridge, the really dress up the kitchen- now we'll have to get a stove. Can't really complain about anything, we love both appliances. My wife wishes the settings weren't so complicated, I'm sure we'll get used to it. PS: our delivery process was a nightmare, ended up installing it myself, store Manager did what he could to make it right, & assured us they would rectify their issues- I HOPE SO!

I recently renovated my kitchen and bought this dishwasher. I also love the movable spires that lets you fit any large pot, pan or dish. It's so quiet and does an amazing job. I highly recommend this dish washer if you are in the market for one.

I needed to replace my worn out dishwasher and decided on the LG for two reasons: 1) good reviews and 2) I had putchased an LG gas range earlier this year and love it, plus the style matches. This dishwasher has many, many adjustments, the top tack is deep so even my tall wine glass fit without having to lean them over. It is so quiet I had to check to see if it was really running the first time I used it. The hybrid drying system works well, leaves no water marks or streaks (you MUST use a rinse aid however). The only negative I have is the tine sections on the lower rack seem to collapse with very little pressure, I wish they were a little stiffer.

Bought July 2013 and have hated it almost immediately. The tines fall over and do not stay locked into place. The top rack is horribly configured and cereal bowls do not fit easily. Glasses on the top rack are jammed together. There is no heated dryer function so I'm forced to use a rinse agent on every cycle. If I run out, I know it immediately because the dishes are spotty and food particles are everywhere. It takes 2 hours, 30 minutes to run a regular cycle, which is waaaaaay too long, especially since it doesn't dry completely! And to top it off, only 8 months after purchasing I have a service call tomorrow morning because it won't drain. I would never buy this model or brand again.

This dishwasher is one of the quietest I have heard, which is a plus. However, the adjustable tines WILL NOT stay up, causing the dishes to fall over against themselves. I also have to practically wash the dishes before loading, or 25% of the bowls and plates do not come clean, even with the 'power' detergents. The cycle is very long (over two hours on normal). I would not purchase this again. I miss my old, loud dishwasher, that cleaned everything the first time, even with cheap detergent.
