LG dishwasher Review Summary

Viewpoints reviewers don’t seem impressed by LG dishwashers. While some find the sleek design appealing, most agree you don’t get what you pay for in quality or service. The LG dishwasher received low ratings for warping parts, a short product life span and poor customer service. According to reviewers the refined look (and steep price) of some LG products isn’t worth an undependable product. Some consumers recommend this dishwasher and say it “cleans dishes better than anything I have used” but if you’re not convinced, keep reading dishwasher reviews here.

If you are looking for a great sleek styled machine this is the one for you!  Everything LG is so nice I use them for all of my products.

Not only does it look great, but cleans my dishes better than any other machine I have used.  It is also eco friendly to use a dishwasher rather than wash the dishes...

We purchased all new LG appliances - Fridge, Range, Microwave, Dishwasher.

I installed them. The Fridge door mounted control panel was defective from the get go.

Emailed LG - no reply. Called Home Depot, they sent out a repair tech who ordered the fridge part. He looked at the dishwasher and said "well...

We bought an LDF 7811 ST, it was $1000 and it was horrible from the very beginning. It never really dried well. After 6 months it was no longer washing well either and then we got an error message so we had to call for a repair. The repair guy opened it and said that it would take a month for parts (we hand washed for a month) and they replaced EVERYTHING except the tub! The wire harness had melted into the acoustic material and the repair guy said they had recalled it because of fire issues. Within weeks it was obvious it wasn't ever going to dry well. After another 3 or 4 months, it was so bad...

I purchased LG dishwasher, washer, dryer and refrigerator.  All top of the line SS units.  Trust me on this.......Not so top of the line!  In fact, the cheapest unit I've ever owned worked way better.  I bought these thinking they would look so pretty in my home.  Didn't consider that they might make my house stink.

Buy LG dishwasher if you desire to remove the dishes from the dishwasher and handwash them.  For those that come semi clean, they will need to be dried because even after LG replaced the entire front panel of my dishwasher with a reengineered front, it worked even worse.  The...

LG LDS 5811ST dishwasher I have had nothing but problems with this $900 LG dishwasher. I had a new pump and motor sent as my dishwasher was out of warranty at 2 years. I paid another $100 for labor. Now for 6 months I get more angry every time I wash dishes before I put them in this expensive drainer.

I have an LG dishwasher Model # LDS5811ST. It's a beautiful appliance but, unfortunately, looks aren't everything and believe me - in this instance I paid more and got less. Shortly before the expiration of my manufacturer's warranty, my dishwasher stopped cleaning the dishes. The piece of plastic that the bottom spray arm attached to became warped and got hung up on the bottom basket and the dishes were not getting cleaned. I called LG and was given a repair service to call. That repairman was on vacation so they gave me 3 other repair services to call. When I called the first number, the telephone...

I purchased this machine because it had everything I was looking for in a dishwasher. Looked great, hidden controls, stainless steel tub, quiet, and matched my other appliances. I purchased it 2 years, 1 week ago. The machines motor just burned out - started flashing "LE" code. I spent $900 for this machine thinking I was gettin top of the line - or at the very least close. The warranty expires after 2 years - called LG - thinking they might have mercy on me since it took a month from the time I bought it to get it - nope - 2 years from the date of purchse - period. Then they proceed to tell me... review »

We bought our LG dishwasher after reading Consumer Reports reviews.  Also, we had heard that Maytag's quality is not what it once was.  (We left a Maytag behind in our former home that was 7 years old.  It was noisy, but worked great.)  Our LG  (~$500) IS the quietest dishwasher I've ever heard in at any price point and the dishes, pots and pans do come out clean.  The two drawbacks--much of the load is still wet when the cycle finishes, even if I wait until the next morning to unload, so I'm stuck drying!  The silverware is never dry.  My other complaint applies to most dw on the market...

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 11.0px Verdana;">I was originally going to purchase their lower priced dishwasher, which I had researched, but there was a sale on this fancier model which made it the same price.  I assumed it would be as well rated as the cheaper model, and I bought it on the spot.  Well, it is pretty, but it doesn't clean dishes.  It says it is super-quiet, but its noisy.  The first time we used it, it made a burny smell.  We thought it was just a "first time hot" smell.  But the dishes were dirty.  Not just poorly washed, but pieces of limp food laying...

Bought a LG dishwasher 2 years ago and it's broken already. Need to call for repairs and just to come out to the house it's close to $100.00  I would have been better buying a cheap one and throwing it out in 2 years. Paid alot  of money for something that looks good but doesn't work.  I will never buy a LG product again.

We bought a new LG dishwasher and oven.  1 1/2 years later we have already had to have the dishwasher replaced (after approximately 8 service calls), 2 parts repaired on the replacement dishwasher and 2 service calls on the oven - - - - very inferior products with poor customer service!!!

I bought my LG a year ago and have been dismally dissapointed in it from the very beginning.  It does not clean dishes that I pre-rinse and it leaves a cloudy film on everything.  This was an expensive dishwasher and I expected a quality product.  DON'T BUY THIS BRAND!!!!

My Fiance purchases all LG products for our kitchen remodel. Besides the problems with the refrifgerator day in and day out - the dish washer is better used as a dry rack when hand washing the dishes. We stated to noticed a helicopter landing pad noise that shakes the entire kitchen every time we wash dishes (issue one).....NONE of our dishes come out clean (issue 2). Food particles are stuck to the glasses(issue 3), a nasty residue-film is left on all glasses (especially the fine wear)(issue 4). We have to wash one load on strong cycle, 2 times to even get 3/4 of the load clean total waste of... review »
