A great second choice
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We are satisfied with this machine so far. Had bought a Bosch 800 series but when it was installed it turned out to be faulty. We were unable to get a replacement so we bought this LG. Seems to be doing fine and was $500 cheaper.

Open box dishwasher purchase.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looks and works great. I intuit myself in under 2 hours watching a UTube tutorial. The dishwasher was an open box as is and it was in perfect condition.

Not a fan
||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.

Great dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We’ve had this dishwasher for a few years now and it’s still performing like it was when we first got it. Definitely give the LG dishwashers a look!

||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.

I would recommend this to a friend Great dishwasher at a great price. Highly recommen
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Excellent dishwasher at a price point less than GE, Whirlpool and other brands. I've had a Bosch dishwasher at more than twice the price that wasn't this good. The dishes come out spotless and dry. If I had one criticism it would be that when the water drains, its a bit loud, but I can live with that since its short portion of the cycle and works so well otherwise. I like the configuration of the inside, including the top slide out rack for knives and other items. I much prefer having the controls in view for ease of use and never liked the handle sticking out on my old one and on most models. This is perfect

Quiet but...
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super quiet, but the wash cycles are extremely long. Some go 3 hours!
I would recommend this to a friend Good Dishwasher But...
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its a nice dishwasher and I would have given it 5 stars, except I wanted the same features in an LG dishwasher that wasn't smart and I couldn't find one. It makes no sense to me to have a smart dishwasher, which I'm sure I'm paying more for. LG not everyone is interested in smart appliances. Another issue I find, is don't lock the door after you clean out the dishwasher. It causes condensation inside when you add rinsed dishes for washing. A tip - Leave it unlocked so it will dry out.
