After years of owning a basic white GE Profile dishwasher, I upgraded to this stainless steel LG steam model.  I decided to go with the LG brand after recently buying an LG washing machine and dryer that I've been pleased with.  The dishwasher is much quieter than my previous model was and I like the extra capacity it has with 3 loading trays.  The steam feature does a great job cleaning dishes and I recommend using that to wash every load.  I also like the interior light which makes it easy to see during loading & unloading.  It also plays a pretty musical melody to signal when the cleaning cycle is complete.  The main drawback to this model is the door which apparently wasn't made with a strong enough hinge to keep the door up when it isn't closed all the way.  I like to leave my dishwasher slightly open between cycles so odors don't build up inside, but the door on this model ends up falling halfway down.  While the machine was still under warranty, I had a repair person come out to adjust the hinge, but it didn't last for long and ended up falling back down to the half-open position again. The only other issue, which has been minor, is the inabiity to see the digital control panel display when the door is closed (because the panel is on the top edge of the door instead of the front).  My countertop covers the top view of the door when it's shut and the angle of the digital display can't be read from a horizontal position.  Sometimes, it would be convenient to see the remaining time left of the wash cycle when the dishwasher is running.

I have the LG9810ST-01  and have been using it for about two years now.  It was an expensive model, however, we don't seem to have luck with dishwashers and I've had kitchen aids as well as others.  I like this one the best.  I haven't had any problems except with the door gasket which got a tear in it and leaked.  The tear was our fault so I can't fault LG.  This is a large washer, it has a third tray on top for knives and flatware which I love.  The bottom shelf has loads of room and I've never had a dishwasher where I could fit so much into.  The second shelf is adjustable and also holds a lot.  It is very practical as there are so many adjustable areas, I can fit pots and pans as well as dishes and glassware.  it is quiet and has many settings and i absolutely love that I can adjust the spray from light to moderate to heavy - I use this feature all the time and have never had a dishwasher with an adjustable spray flow and would never want one again without this feature.  We run this machine a minimum of once a day and many times twice as I love to cook and try new recipes, and there are 4 adults living here and all like to cook.
