Because of an accident that left our previous dishwasher unusable, we were forced to search for a new one.  We've never owned a LG appliance of any kind, but after a bit of investigation, we were pretty comfortable making the decision to buy.  After about 2 weeks of steady use, the dishwasher has performed as good or better than expected.  After learning the basics of operating the unit, we are very pleased.  The unit cleans well, leaves no spots and is quieter than our previous unit.  We would definitely recommend this dishwasher to anyone needing a new one!
