This has been a powerful cooking machine - it preheats quickly and boils rapidly. Weirdly, the markings on the front dials rubbed opff within three months, making stovetop cooking pretty dicey.  It took almost eight months of repeated emails and phone calls to get these replaced by LG. We are now having the same issues with the tine holders in our dishwasher - all of our appliances are pretty new (1-2 years) LG, and are really great except for a tiny little thing that's completely failing.  Will probably look elsewhere when buying my next major appliance.
