My wife and I haven't hadf a working dishwasher for almost 20 years. They've been in our kitchen's, but we didn't use because they didn't get thge dishes clean, so we just hand washed. After getting our new LG dishwasher, we are kicking ourselves for waiting so long. It cleans, it sanitizes and its quiet, yes...quiet. our open concept house has the kitchen and living room right next to each other and we can run the dishwasher and still hear our TV show. The first few times we were using it, we kept checking it, thinking it wasn't running. But, sure enough, it was, just quietly. Like I said...."why did we wait so long?"
