Not worth the money., July 29, 2006
This review is from: LG Electronics LDS5811ST 24-in. Under Counter Dishwasher, Stainless Steel Finish
It has some great ideas - large tub, upper rack that moves, steam is recycled and not blown into kitchen, energy saving upper / lower rack washes - but does not do the job. It does not wash my dishes well even if rinced, even on the strongest setting. Disappointing. Also, the main board and the display board had to be replaced within the first four months. Not worth the money.

Breaks better than it cleans, January 8, 2007
This review is from: LG Electronics LDS5811ST 24-in. Under Counter Dishwasher, Stainless Steel Finish
I've had this dishwasher for a little over a year. I've had to call the company twice to send me replacement rollers for the racks, and one of the plastic holders for the movable racks broke. It's very frustrating to not be able to use the functionality of changing rack position or pulling out the racks to unload. I get better results for cleaning difficult food when using the powerscrub and strong spray settings (with Electrosol tabs). However, I still need to take some dishes out and wash them by hand.

Don't Buy This Dishwasher, March 2, 2007
This review is from: LG Electronics LDS5811ST 24-in. Under Counter Dishwasher, Stainless Steel Finish
I've had this dishwasher for 2 months now.
* It does not clean dishes very well, even on strong spray setting. I have to rewash many from each cycle. Nothing ever comes out feeling very clean, even with a rinse agent added.
* The rinse/dry cycle consistently emits a smell of scorching plastic. I placed a service call and am having to wait THREE WEEKS for service.
* The placement of the tines in both upper and lower racks makes it very difficult to load anything except cups and plates. When you push the upper rack in without a full load, the glasses tip over and break.
* The lower rack jams when I push it in, so I have to physicallhy lift it up and jiggle it back and forth before pushing it in.
* The machine has a loud chime when the load is finished washing that you cannot turn off. Because we can hear the chime from our bedroom, we can't wash a load of dishes at night without the ending chime waking us up.
* Calls to LG for help result in long, long wait times with obnoxious musak.
We hate this dishwasher and I am in the process of trying to get Home Depot to take it back. Our old Maytag did a far better job for half the price.
