LG Dishwasher with stainless steel tub
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dishwasher looks great, appears to be well made, and works well. The multiple racks, untensil box and the stainless steel tub and 10 year warranty on the motor are nice features. The cycles tend to run long but the tag said the dishwasher only uses $34 of electricity per year.

Nice job LG!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I LOVE this dishwasher. I’m a cleaning kind of girl, so I read all the reviews and they were on point. Easy to figure out and my dishes have never been this clean. Definitely recommend.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would not purchase this product again. It has some features such as the third tray (which was not worth it for me.) and the ease of rolling the racks, but that is it. Having said that I don’t think any dishwashers in this price range are that different. The energy saver models do not clean like the old models. It’s plastic and I wonder if it’ll make five years.

Posted .Hello there, Joett. We understand your inquiry and appreciate you sharing your thoughts about the LDFN4542B. While features like the third rack and easy-rolling racks can be convenient, we hear you that they may not feel worth it if the cleaning performance doesn’t meet your expectations. We want to help you get the most from your dishwasher and address any concerns about longevity as well.
Troubleshooting Tip for Improved Cleaning:
Many modern energy-saving dishwashers use lower-flow spray arms and reduced-water cycles to conserve resources, which can feel different compared to older, higher-water models. To ensure your dishes come out thoroughly clean, try these steps:
Load Strategically: Place larger items—pots, pans, and casserole dishes—on the bottom rack, tilted slightly so they don’t block the spray arms. Ensure that nothing obstructs the rotation of the upper spray arms; even a single utensil or plate leaning at the wrong angle can prevent water from reaching all items.
Check and Clean Spray Arms: Periodically remove the upper and lower spray arms and rinse them under warm water. Small food particles can lodge in the spray-arm holes, reducing water coverage. A toothpick or small brush can clear those tiny nozzles so water jets spray forcefully.
Use the Right Cycle and Detergent: For particularly soiled loads, select “Heavy” or “Pots & Pans” rather than a quick “Energy Saver” cycle. Heavy cycles use longer wash times and higher wash-pump pressure to tackle stuck-on food. Additionally, make sure you’re using a high-quality dishwasher detergent that’s compatible with hard or soft water in your area; using a rinse aid can also improve drying and prevent spotting.
Reassurance on Durability:
The LDFN4542B’s interior tub is crafted from durable nylon-reinforced material designed to resist dents and high heat. While it may look different than stainless steel, it’s engineered to provide long-lasting performance. To help your dishwasher last beyond five years, keep the filter assembly clean (remove and rinse it at least once a month) and periodically examine door seals and gaskets for any wear or residue. A quick wipe-down after each cycle can prevent buildup that stresses hinges and seals over time.
We know it can be frustrating if a new dishwasher doesn't feel like an upgrade. If you’d like to explore additional cleaning techniques, troubleshoot any specific cycles, or discuss warranty and maintenance options, please send us a private message on social media @LGUSSupport. Our team will be more than happy to walk through any steps or recommendations tailored to your kitchen setup.

Average dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice and quiet. Wish third rack was more useful but we are just storing it because you can’t wash tall glasses when third rack is in place

Pros: Nice looking Easy Install - I DIY it Quiet Cleans well Not so good: App/NFC - you can not do much from the app for this particular model. Display - from some angles its not the best
I would recommend this to a friendNice and quiet dishwasher.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very quiet and gets the dishes sparkling clean. I like the third rack for small lids and larger flat utensils. I haven't used all the cycles yet, but normal and delayed start cycles work great.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a good dishwasher. A little bit noisy than my previous one. The only thing is the top row is very small and sometimes it does not clean the top rack items properly.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a decent dishwasher, but I find it disturbing that this more up-to-date dishwasher is not drying dishes as well as conventional dishwashers. It conserves energy but found it very unsatisfying the result of the drying function.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does a good job cleaning, but the cycle length is crazy long. Doesn't totally get the dishes dry in normal cycle.
I would recommend this to a friendTotally worthwhile dishwasher.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I find this dishwasher very quiet and I particularly like the display that shows the total time the cycle will take as well as when it ends. The tune at the end is pretty unique.

Drys great, but bad bottom rack
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I deducted one star because when you pull out the bottom rack, it frequently jumps the tracks and you have to line it back up again. I like the drying feature a lot.
