||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The tray seemed like a good idea. It just gets in the way of stacking the top shelf
No, I would not recommend this to a friendunreliable technology that breaks down frequently!
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.the control board went bad within 6 months of purchase, fortunately it was covered by the protection plan so there was no cost to repair it other than a few weeks of inconvenience without it while waiting for the parts. It went broke again in 8 months. Now it is out of protection plan, I have to pay to diagnose the problem, and then labor and parts to fix it, I am better off buying a brand new one with another brand. never had any issues with other dishwashers that i have/had, includiing the ones that I bought in Homedepot.

Does not dry
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was very excited to get an entire LG appliance package, as i had heard all great reviews. Unfortunately, this dishwasher did not meet me expectations. No matter what settings i put it on, it does not dry the dishes. I have to hand towel dry almost every dish before i put them away. I will say all of my other products from LG have been fantastic.

Dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Some of the dishes don’t get cleaned as they should be. Nice features looks good
I would recommend this to a friendBad ma home.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Top control pad broke within 8 months cracked right through middle in several areas of it. Happened again 14 months of use same thing. Also a loud sound of a motor wearing out. The rack has pegs that fall down when you put in dishes you always have to adjust it back straight so they hold dishes up. Spaced oddly so plates tilt and fall forward. Have to have water running hot before you start machine or they will be wet. It's just not a decent machine. Stating to think no matter what price you spend they just don't last. This one was more higher end and lasted the least.

Best Buy=Best Lie
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The dishwasher is okay. Doesn’t dry at all but that’s manageable. I’m more upset with BestBuy. I wasn’t told about the fitting for the hose, so I paid for an installation that never happened. When I got in contact with bestbuy, they ended our chat almost immediately. I just want my money back for the installation.

Unfortunate circumstance
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The dishwasher broke on the 3ed wash. I must have received the bad one. The wait for a replacement was over 3 weeks so I decided to go with a different brand that was available but was rated the same or better.

I would recommend this to a friendDoes not dry
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We wanted a Bosch, but they were sold out. This looked like a good backup especially for the price, but this works worse than our previous dishwasher which was 40 years old. The dishes are still wet, and always have a film on them. The owners manual says it "does not rely on a heating element for the drying process," meaning it hust doesnt dry the dishes. Returning this and going without a dishwasher until we can get a bosch.

Smart as a bag of chips
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.LG advertises this unit as a smart dishwasher. It is not. It doesn't have wifi. In order to connect this unit to the app (presumably to get the smart diagnosis feature), you need a phone that has NFC enabled. iphones do not have this feature. So ios is out. When you go switch over to that old android phone, the app refuses to launch because it thinks the phone is rooted, which it hasn't. First app I have seen on Android to kill itself based on a flaky root detection. I have banking apps on the same phone that work just fine. Haven't had a chance to really see the washing capabilities of this unit, but I am not optimistic of what follows.
