Product review (2 stars): Mediocre Performance
Performance-wise, the only good thing about this machine is that it's super quite. Unlike our ten-year old Maytag, it's barely inaudible...however, also unlike our Maytag, it has mediocre cleaning performance. Nothing but Power Scrub mode will get all of the dishes clean all of the time, and that's still not even a guarantee. I can't count the number of times under normal wash that a pot has come out of the machine still dirty...pots placed face-down, unobstructed at the bottom of the machine in direct line with the spray nozzles. These aren't hard baked-on stains either. These are stains that require a gentle scrub from the soft side of a sponge to get rid of. Same goes for various silverware and cooking utensils.

This model's mediocre Normal mode cleaning is barely offset by its silent operation and stainless-steel/aluminum construction. However, factor in the price and you end up with a dishwasher with a poor price/performance ratio. I can't speak for the other LG models. Hopefully, they fare much better than this one.
