We bought this dishwasher as the one we had wasn't cleaning our dishes very well and was very loud when running.  I just love the LG dishwasher, my dishes are very clean it is very quiet and so many features to choose from. I can do a half a load if I need to or wash a very large load. I has a steam feature to allow you glassware to come out sparkling clean with no stops.  Next time you need a dishwasher look for LG and read about the many features they have. You can't go wrong.  Oh did I say it is has 10 year warranty.
