3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best LG product I have purchased, August 7, 2008

This review is from: LG LDF6920ST Fully Integrated Dishwasher with 5 Wash Cycles, 3 Spray Arms, SenseClean System, Delay Start, Food Disposer and Self-Clean Filter: Stainless Steel

We bought this stainless steel dishwasher about a month ago. I loved the look and the price, along with its touted quality. After many uses, however, I am not very impressed. I hope that with a different detergent I will get better results.

Pros:
-it's pretty.
-you can put a lot of plates in it.
-it's very quiet.
-it has lots of timing options.
-it has a cool sounding ding when you press the buttons (which are hidden: an added pro).
-price, considering its appearance.
-built-in garbage disposal. (I do feel that this is somewhat misleading, since if you put your dishes in with that much food on them, the likelihood of them coming out clean is low.)

Cons:
-I have only used one detergent in it (Electrasol Advanced), but have repeated trouble with unclean dishes, even when using the power scrub setting. Granted, I am putting knives coated in peanut butter in the dishwasher, but considering the brand and price, I think this is not unreasonable. The knives generally come out streaky and I have to scrub them and rewash. Ceramic plates seem to come out fine (plastic children's ones not so much, for some reason - more caked-on PB?), but I have trouble with cutlery and anything that had food stuck to it.
-the top rack does not adjust.
-the bottom rack, when pulled out all the way (like "normal" all the way, not "on the floor" all the way), ALWAYS comes off track and you have to fight with it to get it back in the dishwasher. This is perhaps my biggest pet peeve about this dishwasher.
-when opened, the handle rests on the floor. Mildly annoying, except when your foot happens to be in its path.
-due to the poor wash quality, I almost always have to use the power scrub setting.
-it seems that the wash cycle takes FOREVER. I realize I am using the power scrub setting, but really. My old Kenmore did not take nearly as long, and cleaned better. I can't believe I am saying this about a Sears product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Dishwasher!!!!, March 13, 2010

This review is from: LG LDF6920ST Fully Integrated Dishwasher with 5 Wash Cycles, 3 Spray Arms, SenseClean System, Delay Start, Food Disposer and Self-Clean Filter: Stainless Steel

After reading so many negative reviews about this dishwasher, I had to double check mine to make sure they were talking about the same dishwasher. I am not sure what the problem is.

First of all, the dishwasher's appearance is beautiful and matches my other stainless appliances very well. It cleans very well, uses less water and detergent, and my dishes come out spotless!!!

Some negative reviews had mentioned that the dishes came out wet since there is no heating element. My dishes come out "piping" hot and dry just as if there is a heating element in the bottom of the dishwasher, but without the worry of melting plastic items that might fall through the racks.

This dishwasher is so quiet, I hardly notice that it is running. I only notice it when I first turn it on when the water is running, even then it is very silent.

This dishwasher is full of options yet very simple to operate. I am so pleased with this dishwasher, I would definitely buy it again and recommend it to anybody looking for a good deal.

UPDATE 5/26/2010:
I have used this dishwasher now for a few months and it is still working for us great!! My family runs at least one load per day and the dishes still come out spotless. I have noticed that when it runs out of rinse aid, that the dishes tend to come out spotty. RECOMMENDATION: Keep your rinse aid topped off!!! There is a handy sensor
on the display that lets you know when it is running low.

A previous reviewer said that the built in garbage disposal is misleading since you have a lesser chance of getting clean dishes if you leave food on them. Wrong. There is also a built-in soil sensor that detects this and adjusts the wash accordingly. Still loving this product from LG!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Run, screaming, away from this dishwasher! (Just MY Opinion!), October 1, 2009

This review is from: LG LDF6920ST Fully Integrated Dishwasher with 5 Wash Cycles, 3 Spray Arms, SenseClean System, Delay Start, Food Disposer and Self-Clean Filter: Stainless Steel

This review has nothing to do with Amazon.. it is strictly about the LG LDF7932ST dishwasher and the experience we've had with it.

We acutally purchased it from a very well-known company that sells appliances. We purchased this to replace our GE Profile that was recalled (for a potential fire hazard issue). We (thought) we hated that GE dishwasher.. really loud, steam hole spouting up from the top, falling apart inside, two motor replacements, you name it - and now, it was a fire hazard.

If I could find it in the dump heap and re-install it in place of this LG, I would!

Things we like:

It's quiet - really quiet - I love this about it.
It plays nice little "tunes" (my daughter thinks that's creepy)
It looks good from the outside
It looks good from the inside (the first day).
mmmmm...thinking... thinking.. nah.. that's it.

Things we're not crazy about:

Control panel: inside on the top of the door. This seemed to be the trend with a lot of the new dishwashers. OK if you don't want to see it, but we prefer the controls on the outside, we've learned!

The ODOR: It STINKS! This is the real deal-breaker for us. The first few times we ran it, I thought it was just "new dishwasher smell", but it smells so bad when it is washing.. it stinks up the whole kitchen / family room area. Like a mix of hot, detergenty, dirty, thick water. We use the same detergent & rinse agent that we used with our GE, but I can say that the GE machine NEVER smelled... Only normal, fresh, clean, smell. To this day, I keep coming in saying.. "what's that odor?".. and the kids reply.. "oh, it's just the dishwasher".

The pump is fine.. there is no residual water in the bottom, so it's not stagnant water
anywhere (that we know of), but the thing just smells REALLY BAD. I thought having the stainless steel interior somehow would make things even "cleaner".. but well..

The cleaning: In my opinion, it does NOT clean very well. Take advice from the previous reviewer that said that it was wise to use the rinse agent. Otherwise, there is a definite haze over the dishes, and even tons of residue streaks on the inside stainless door that are left from the liquid diswashing detergent as it comes out of it's little panel door. That said, when the rinse agent is used, they do come out a bit cleaner, but honestly, not as clean as the old GE.. we thought this might improve with time (somehow), but along with the awful smell it leaves, it just leaves the dishes smelly and not feeling clean. :(

The detergent door: Not an earth shattering issue, just a note. Instead of every other dishwasher I've owned, where you twist the detergent door closed, this one has to flip up, popping open toward the inside of the dishwasher.. so, once, when my daughter put a cookie sheet or other pan (can't recall) in the front of the bottom shelf, and ran the dishwasher, the detergent door was too close and couldn't flip open, so, we had to wash again after re-arranging the pans. If the detergent door could twist open, it wouldn't have been an issue. Not sure why they went with that flip open design.

Racks: As for an earlier review description of the rack versatility, that is very accurate, and there is a lot of flexibility there. We've never had a problem with them going off the track. They seem nice and sturdy, and stay where you put them. For some reason, our old GE had a bottom rack that would roll back in by itself.. we would have to hold it out to fill it. Personally, though, I think that the rung/prong angles are just a bit strange (some tilt outward like a "\/" shape instead of straight up "|") and I find it difficult to throw a pot on top because it won't go straight down over the rungs.. I'm not crazy about it, but then again, there's not much about this dishwasher that I do like.

We will be replacing it - if anyone wants one, free.... ; )
