Is there a setting less than 2 hours
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cleans very well and that steam is a plus. I need to study the instruction guide because all the settings go for over 2 hours and it must be user error on my end.

||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great dishwasher. Little disappointed that the Smart feature only works if you have an Android. May had skipped this model if I knew.
I would recommend this to a friendLoving it!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am loving my new dishwasher! I've never had a dishwasher with a 3rd rack, so I must say, it's pretty handy. Also, the regular top rack is adjustable in height (a few inches). The fingerprint-resistant stainless steel is also nice. So far, no problems!

Quiet but doesn't clean well
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this just over a year ago to replace a 20+ year old Frigidaire model. It looks great, is much quieter than the old unit, but doesn't clean dishes nearly as well. I've tried all the settings and use the best rated detergent pods, but still am left with spotty or dirty looking dishes.

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Terrible racks and it takes over 3 hours to wash a simple light load of dishes. Very disappointed but it does seem to clean well.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend - Cons mentioned:Control panel
Do not buy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The control panel is very finicky and requires multiple taps to turn on. I have run the dishwasher on normal and auto and it does not clean. It does not matter if the dishes have been rinsed first or not, and it still does not clean. If I had not had to pay so much for a plumber to install it, I would return it. I am not really sure how I will live with this thing for the next few years.

||Posted .

Constant error message after 2 years
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After two years, I'm getting constant AE error code which means the water flow sensor is triggered. The lower spray arm attachment keeps coming off. I don't know what is going on with this. This unit sucks.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from LG Digital Customer Care
Posted .Hi Eun. Thank you for reaching out to us with your experience with your LG dishwasher. We understand that seeing the AE error code and having the lower spray arm detach can be a difficult situation.
The AE error code is triggered when the dishwasher detects a water leak. This can sometimes be caused by issues with the water supply, drain hose, or other internal components. The lower spray arm can become detached if it's not properly seated or if there's an issue with the mounting mechanism.
The limited warranty on your unit is valid for one year from the date of purchase. If you need further assistance, please send us an email at lgdigitalcare@lg.sprinklrsupport.com.

LG 24" Front Control Dishwasher not a Best Buy.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately, this was not a best buy for our family. Always struggled with getting the the dinnerware plates to stand up and the drying power was not that great too. Always ends up with water after an over night drying setting. I would not recommend this product. This was probably the reason why it was on sale in the first place.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGreat dishwasher but rude delivery guy
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Oksy so I LOVE my new dishwasher! However, the delivery guy refused to wear a mask. We have 2 small kids and he refused after asking several times. Best Buy states that these people can wear one upon request.
