Product review (1 stars): Should be called a Dishdirtier
We splurged on this dishwasher for our new house. We couldn't really afford it. Now, I have nothing but a VERY VERY expensive dish drying rack. You can put clean dishes in and they will come out dirty. IF you clean the dishwasher in between each wash, wash your dishes thoroughly before putting them in, run the hot water until it is scalding before starting the washer, clean the pipes surrounding the washer weekly, run your garbage disposal for several minutes before using it, load it to half it's capacity, make sure you always have rinse aid in and set in on the 3+ hr pots and pans setting with an extra rinse cycle your dishes might, if you are very lucky, come out only slightly dirty rather than with the typical results - covered in a thick white film and a layer of particles cemented on to each dish requiring a long soak and hard core scrubbing to remove. I HATE this dishwasher more than I have every thought it was possible to hate an appliance but we spent so much money on it that we can not afford a new one. We have tried everything to make it work properly. I even took it apart to clean it thoroughly. It has a filter at the bottom that you cannot remove or clean that collects filth that gets sprayed on your dishes every time you use it. It was almost passable for the first three months, because the filter hadn't collected enough filth yet I suppose, and so we didn't take it back in time unfortunately and I deeply regret this. I will never ever even consider another LG product and I warn everyone I know about them because of this dishwasher. Garbage. I used to have an old cheap Kenmore that got the job done just fine in my old place.
