I am embarrassed to say I bought this appliance for a reason I never dreamed I would use - it was the only black stainless steel dishwasher the three store company had.  It was important that I have the appliance quickly and that it fit in with the other major appliances. It was great serendipity!  It is efficient, easy to use, quiet, energy efficient and cleans incredibly well.  I really like it and am happy I stumbled into purchasing this appliance.  I had done my research for a new dishwasher; was aware of this product and its good reputation.  But the final choice for selecting it was because it is what I needed and it was available when I needed it.   It was a very lucky day for me!  Any time I have to replace appliances I will always keep LG on the top of the list!  Experience with the product has been the best recommendation!
