Dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Still has moisture inside once cycle is done. Don’t purchase this item
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from LGAnswers
Posted .Our dishwashers do not have a heating element, and drying performance is directly affected by the amount of heat that remains in the tub after the heated rinse is performed. If your dishwasher is far away from your home’s hot water heater, it may be necessary to run the hot water tap in the sink before starting a wash cycle, to ensure that cool water is purged from the hot water lines. This will ensure your dishwasher has a consistent supply of hot water from start to finish.
Using the High Temp setting also aids in keeping the inner drum temperature and dishes hotter before drying begins. LG dishwashers are designed to be used in conjunction with a rinse aid. Using a rinse aid will maximize the amount of water that has already been sheeted away from the dishes before the dry cycle begins. If a rinse aid is used and the performance still needs a boost, adjust the amount of rinse aid used. 2 is the default setting, but if necessary set the level to 3 so more rinse aid is used.
Water tends to bead rather than sheet of plastic and nonstick surfaces, making them more difficult to dry. If washing plastic items in a Normal cycle, select the Extra Dry or Night Dry option or both for better drying results. When the rinse aid is empty, the Extra Dry option is selected automatically.
Allow the dishwasher to completely finish the dry cycle before opening the door. If the door is opened in the middle of the dry cycle, the heat that is necessary for the hybrid dry system to work will escape. This will cause all of the dishes inside to remain wet once the cycle finishes. ^Jennifer

- Pros mentioned:Cleaning performance, Noise level
Cleans the dishes, very Quiet, Bang for your Buck!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Have owned this dishwasher for 3 years now. Very happy with the decision to buy this dishwasher. Very quiet and cleans the dishes nicely. The 3rd rack is handy for cleaning long utensils. This dishwasher is used almost every night and you will get the bang for your buck!

Working great
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had it for about a month and so far so good. Dishes come out clean with no spots. Only complaint is how long it takes to run but there is a speed wash option which still cleans great for when i want a load done faster.

Good dishwasher
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Used it now for a month and works well. Only a couple of minor annoyances. First, the front controls are sensitive, the power (and little tune) will come on if you back up against the counter or lean into. Recognized this when ordering, though, but couldn't get a top control when we wanted at the time we wanted. Second, the discharge hose was barely long enough to attach to the disposal and still make the "loop" up to prevent backflow. Our machine sits to the left of the sink so the hose has to reach all the way across the back and then a couple of feet (and up to the top of sink for the loop). It worked, but no slack left at all.
