Buy something else!

Worst dishwasher I have ever owned or had to suffer using. Bought new from local retailer under their recommendation. The front "touch" controls are finicky at best and more than half the time don't register when you "press" them. The soap tray lid doesn't want to close most of the time. Dishes don't dry, even when left overnight. The bottom dish rack regularly jumps off it's guide track. And it plays a stupid musical tune when the cycle is done, and you can't shut this feature off. Honestly, I've had better experiences with dishwashers in apartments, and those are notoriously terrible for being bargain bin. As soon as this unit dies, I'm buying a different brand.

Nice dishwasher, beware installation

Love the dishwasher. Things are clean! Top rack for knives and utensils works great! The dynamic dry works well with less worry about melting plastics. Installation was terrible. No cord came with the dishwasher and even though I had a new cord, the installers didn't know how to connect it. Delivery was careful and old dishwasher was hauled away

stainless tub, 3rd rack, front display = good

Easy install. really liked the tilt (front/back) adjustment at front of dishwasher. doesn't require the 3/4 adaptor that other brands do. Dishes come out spotless and dry. It does not have a heater (for drying). so two things 1) it requires rinse aid. (not a big deal). 2) it requires hot water. This might seem obvious but if your house takes minutes to get hot water from tap then it may effect your drying cycle... Third rack is great. we don't use the utensil box at all (just the third rack). Really like ability to adjust the trays (lowering some of the fingers for different dishes). The different cycles are nice, the phone app extras are limited (only 4). The Rinse feature is handy as well, after you clean up the kitchen but the dishwasher isn't full you can do a rinse. Just helps prevent anything sticking to the dishes and not coming off when you run a full load the next day. Keep the manual so that you can navigate the menus. Hopefully this lasts years without issues. seen a bunch of reviews of the control panels failing (figures crossed).

Useless

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Had it about a month now and it's singly the worst dishwasher I have ever used, let alone owned. It doesn't wash well whatsoever. It's gotten to where it I have to basically almost handwash dishes before I use the dishwasher. It goes through rinse agent like it was going out of style. Often times the loads come out worse than they went in, often feeling gritty and covered with film. Even running half a load give the same results. It constantly throws gunk onto the dishes, and often bakes on things (like milk and soup) that should be easily washed. Top flat-rack stops water from uppermost sprinkler head from doing what it's supposed to.

Fraudulently advertised as a ThinQ unit.

Pictures that LG uses clearly show this as being ThinQ compatible, and therefore eligible for the free extra year warranty, but this unit DOES NOT have ThinQ. Very shady business practice by LG. Basically tricking people into buying a model in the hopes of having a 2yr warranty just to find out that they are only eligible for 1 year. I have Multiple LG items in my home, but unless LG makes this right by offering a free 2nd year like the item they used in the pictures to sell this model is eligible for, I will never purchase another product from them again.

Poor quality machine

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] the dishes don't come out clean more times than not; especially the cutlery on the third rack. Additionally, the front control panel has emotional issues. It looks like a strobe light when you try to turn on the machine and I have had to turn the breaker off and on again multiple times to try to reset the machine. It was non-responsive so I couldn't run a load of dishes. This happens 9 times out of 10. We ordered a new dishwasher (not this one) and will be saying goodbye to this one shortly. We purchased it in 2022. A dud in our opinion.

Hey Maurine. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your LG dishwasher. Great food starts with a clean place to put it, so we'd love to help. Common causes of improper cleaning in your dishwasher are usually a dirty filter, dirty interior from food residue, or improper loading. We recommend checking out our page at https://shorturl.at/O52pi for more information on the common causes and how to get the most out of your LG dishwasher. We'd also love to help out with your control panel on social media @LGUSSupport. We understand you've purchased a new dishwasher, but we want you to know we're still here and eager to help!

Defective junk

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I don't know if mine is defective, or if this is just trash. I bought this model in part because the photos showed the prongs on the bottom dish rack having curves to hold the plates up. The rack I received is not what is shown in photos, and the prongs will not stay locked in place. As soon as I put more than two plates, the prongs fall down, and then of course the plates all fall down. We purchased this to replace our old LG dishwasher which was leaking after only six years. We have probably $8000 of LG appliances in our kitchen, but I think we are done with them at this point.

Very Dissatisfied

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This unit was installed on April 9, 2024. Wash time on the Auto setting plus Extra Dry takes 2 1/2+hours to complete and I find the many dishes are not completely dry. Any bowl or glass that has any type of dip will have a pool of water. Furthermore I have already had to have the front electronic panel replaced!!! I am not happy with this appliance at all!

Sleek and Black

I have used the dishwasher only a few times. It replaced an older version that needed a new pump. I chose the old one because it loaded my cereal bowls, plates, and pasta bowls so well. The new one looks, from the outside, just like the first. However, there are differences which I do not like as well. The tines holding plates and bowls on lower shelf are not dog legged. Or they do not notch in at bottom to accept outside curve of plate or pasta bowl. Therefore, they do not stand straight up but like to lean on the one next to them. This causes rinsing not to be as effective and sometimes depositing and leaving food on the plate or bowl. It seems LG took a step backward. Also it seems to leave dishes wetter than the older model. I have found it works better when I do not use “energy saver” and do dishes early enough to open the door after the “end” comes on after the cycle. Almost everything is dry by morning when I unload it. I used the “auto” setting once, but my dishes were not clean. I went back to “normal”. I don’t really use the top shallow shelf right now. Maybe in the future. I am a person who does not put pans, large anything, large knives, wooden handles or utensils in the dishwasher. So, I do not know how they do. This is a black dishwasher which was my deciding factor.

Good Quality

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We liked this dishwasher because it has the features we wanted. We especially like the adjustable middle rack. We also like the third rack feature. It is quiet and has cleaned some dishes that I thought could not be cleaned in the dishwasher.
