I really like this dishwasher but wish it had fold down tines on the top rack. I also found that the timing for the quick wash is 118 minutes and the other selections are, of course, even longer. Is this really supposed to save energy?
What's great about it: Really gets the dishes clean.
What's not so great: Timing is way too long.
This product is... Good for delicate dishes, Great for pots & pans, Quiet, Well-matched to my appliances, Easy to load adjustable racks, Able to deliver spotless dishes

Don't understand the low review for this dishwasher. This dishwasher is better than the expensive Bosch it replaced. We can pack it full of our Fiesta dishes which we found out we were not able to due with a new Bosch dishwashers with their new rack design. This LG model cleans great, dries great and is just as quiet or more than the expensive Bosch it replaced..which died only after 7 years of use. It has been a GREAT replacement and a great value for our money. Do not miss our old Bosch dishwasher.
What's great about it: Everything...especially the rack design.

Great looking, clean lines, good design interior and exterior. High quality stainless and interior materials. Does a very quiet job cleaning - can't hear at all - and does "expected" job of cleaning well. Doesn't overheat when drying. VERY satisfied with this dishwasher!
What's great about it: Design is excellent, space efficient, high quality.

We regret spending the money 3 years ago for this product. From speaking with repair techs to talking with different appliance salesmen, final conclusion is dishwashers and LG don't go together. Basically dishes are not cleaned and are left wet (not spotted - wet). After several service calls and part replacements final straw was the stainless steel liner began to rust. Make sure you invest in Best Buy's extended warranty.

TIRED OF LOW CLASS AND CHEAP DISHWASHER THAT HIT AND MISS WHEN IT COMES TO CLEANING DISHES AND POTS AND EVEN WITH DRYING AGENT, THE DISHES ARE ALWAYS WET.
SO WE DECIDED TO PAY BESTBUY A VISIT AND TO OUR SURPRISE TO FIND A MARKED DOWN TOP OF THE LINE LG DISHWASHER IN STAINLESS STEEL. WE IMMEDIATELY PURCHASED IT AND IT SOLVED OUR DISHWASHER DILEMMA AT HOME AND IT MATCHED WITH OUR STAINLESS STEEL APPLIANCES.

What's great about it: QUIET DISHWASHER. DISHES AND COOKWARE ALWAYS COME OUT CLEAN AND DRY WITH EXCEPTION OF PLASTICWARE (SOMETIMES WET).
What's not so great: NO TIME DELAY WASH.

The wife and I have owned several dishwashers in the past this is the best by far. It is elegant to look at, simple to use, cleans dishes and glasses very well, AND is quite quiet. The literature and decible rating show it to be decent but not so different from its competition. Wrong, this baby is quiet.
What's great about it: quiet operation, cleans quite well
What's not so great: seems to be all up side.

I bought this dishwasher as part of a set of LG appliances. I bought it with a microwave, fridge and range about 3 years ago. I am satisfied with the other 3 appliances, but the dishwasher has been junk since day one. The only positives I have to say about it is that it is attractive, quiiet, and is on a sturdy frame. It recently developed a motor problem that was going to cost more to repair than I was willing to invest in it. Instead, I bought another brand that was 1/2 the price of this one and does a better job. Some of its faults:
1. It always had an awful odor inside if it wasn't recently run.
2. The racks are terribly designed, so dishes don't fit well.
3. It didn't clean the dishes! If I have to wash the dishes first before using it, what's the point? Like buying a car where the dealer says "You just have to push the car for the first mile each time, then it will run fine."

When I removed this dishwasher, I set it at the curb, and I felt bad for the person who drove by and picked it up. They don't know what they're in for.
What's great about it: Quiet, looks nice
What's not so great: Smell, inconvenient rack design, dirty dishes.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this dishwasher 4 months ago, and I would give anything to get my money back and get something else. Every single time I run it, the unit stops halfway thru and gives me an E1 error message. I have to restart the unit all over again. LG said this is due to how my pots and pans are placed. Well guess what, I ran it with 3 plates on the bottom and 2 cups and a bowl on the top and it still gave me the error. It was virtually empty!! So now I have to call them again and get someone out here to fix it.
On top of that, the dishes never get completely cleaned and rinsed. I can still taste a little bit of dishwasher soap on the lid of a glass, etc. There is always dried soap residue on our cups. Even the silverware can't get clean, I have to re-clean them myself in the sink. This is the worst product I have ever bought. My gut instinct told me LG was a cheap brand, well, from now on I will always listen to my instincts. I will be fighting LG when they get here to just take the unit and give me my money back, we will see how it goes. Whatever you do, DO NOT BUY THIS DISHWASHER!!!!!

We bought this model 2 or 3 years ago. For the first 6 months, it ran fine, got the dishes fairly clean (not perfect, but reasonable), and was extremely quiet. After that, however, it started making noises (which LG told me was normal) and the dishes weren't quite as clean. Now, the noises are even louder and it started leaking (so now have to have it repaired). After doing some research online, this is a common occurrence with LG dishwashers, due to a poor gasket design.
What's great about it: started out quiet
What's not so great: already needs repair only 2 or 3 years after purchase
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We have had this dishwasher for over 6 months now and I can honestly say, No buyers remorse! We love it. I especially love the Child locks and sanatize option, It is super quiet and cleanes the dishes great. Only thing that I dislike it shows little handprints easily. always wipe off nice though. Seriously if you are like me and read a hundred reviews before you buy, Look no further.
What's great about it: Santize and child locks
What's not so great: handprints show all the time.

We got this model because it matched the other appliances we bought. It is a very quiet unit and does OK on light cleaning needs but doesn't work that well on some things. We have to re-clean coffee mugs for some reason. It doesn't get as hot as our old Kenmore unit. Nice looking unit.
What's great about it: Quiet. Low energy use.
What's not so great: Sometimes needs more than one cycle to clean thoroughly.

The cycles take about 2 hours and if you stop it you have to turn it off and restart the dishwasher so if you leave a dish out and open it you have to start completly over. It was super expensive and the book is not very helpful. It leaves a film on dishes even with jetdry and the dishes must be prewashed it will not clean stuff off them
What's not so great: see above
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've had this dishwasher 8 months. It runs very quietly and looks great in my kitchen but that is where the compliments stop. I consistently have to re-wash dishes. And that is after thouroghly rinsing before putting in dishwasher. I thought maybe it was because I was using the 'Quick' cycle which runs for 1:18 but even on the 'Normal' and 'Pot Scrubber' cycles which run 2 and 3 hours respectively, dishes still come out not always 100% clean. There is no' top rack only' option with this model either. Since the control panel is located on the outside of the washer we are constantly turning it on by accident when we are standing/working at the counter. I regret not having spent the additional couple hundred bucks for the upgraded model.
What's great about it: Quiet cycles
What's not so great: poor cleaning performance
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I was about to give this product 1 star as many did because my dishwasher wasn't drying my dishes. It had done a good job of cleaning, but I dreaded putting away dishes because I had to hand dry them. I read in the troubleshooting guide that the reason was probably the lack of rinsing agent. I topped it off many times without having to adding much to it. I figured is only held a little.
I also read that there was a dial to control the amount of rinsing agent that was set as 3 of 4 for the factory default. I figured I shouldn't have to mess with it if it was at 75% of max. Well today in another attempt to fill the rinsing agent I realized that the factory had set this to 1 of 4 not 3. I turned the dial to 3 and low and behold I found bone dry dishes at the end of the cycle.
I was at the point of calling LG to get someone out to my house to fix it or throw it in the garbage. The only complaint I have is that LG had this set to the wrong factory setting and it caused me a ton of extra work. I love it other than that. For those of you out there with the same problem. Check the dial in the rinse agent intake. If it is set to one you may have found your fix.
The only reason I posted was to hopefully help someone else avoid having to go through the same issue.
What's great about it: Looks great, very quiet, lots of space, cleans well, save energy and water, and did I mention how quiet it is.
What's not so great: Long cycles for even the short cycle, but how often do you need them done quickly. Factory settings messed up.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Super Quiet, easy operation. Installation is a little less than straightforward, but still not too hard, and it was my first self-installed dishwasher.
As for the complaints about not getting dishes clean or dry, I think those complaints are from people who didn't read the directions. Just use the rinse aid and make sure your water is hot enough and you won't have any problems. My water is super hard, and not only have my dishes never been cleaner, but they come out bone dry, even the plastic stuff.
In addition, I love the stainless steel interior, concealed heating element (lots of plastic baby spoons and other plastic reusables in my house) and the child lock is a real lifesaver. BUY IT.
What's great about it: quiet, clean, easy, efficient, child lock, concealed heating element, stainless interior
What's not so great: Long wash time (1-2 hours, if you care, I don't), no delay start (also not a concern for me)
I would recommend this to a friend!
