Rated 5 out of 5 Best Dishwasher I've Owned
Delivery was fast - less than a week. The taller tub creates a few challenges if you're replacing a standard dishwasher and the instructions aren't the best. But if you read all of the instructions first, it'll go OK. All of the connections are at the front and there's very little clearance underneath. I had to use a longer than normal supply line - about 6'. Access to the height adjustments are at the front for all four feet so leveling / raising it easy.
I've had it for a month now and it is working great. No issues, dishes are clean on Normal cycle with "green" dish soap. There is no heated drying which is fine by me - just open the door a little when the cycle is done and dishes dry just fine. Cycle time on normal is about 2 hours, but I never hear it in the rest of the house - it's much quieter than it's predecessor. Highly recommended.

Rated 3 out of 5Â by alye a little better than average.
purchased this about a year ago. within 6 months LG was out to replace something where the water comes out, they said it was a manufacturer defect they realized after this model was released. ( sorry, not the best at mechanics) that was no big deal until it started turning off by its self mid-cycle and leaving standing water in the bottom of it. yet again another LG call out. the dishwasher was quiet for about the first month and now its constantly making grumbling loud noises while running. It does get my dishes wonderfully clean and they always sparkle. Clean it once a month and i always rinse the food off before putting them in the washer. overall its a nice washer, its just been a real hassle to deal with considering it was brand new.

Rated 1 out of 5Â by Poor Quality Motor out in two years
This dishwasher is nice looking but the quality does not live up to it's name. I am disappointed in my LG purchase. It is really easy to use but doesn't clean the dishes very good. I pre-wash the dishes, so it doesn't have to work hard anyway. Then after only two years the motor went out, I had to pay $$$ to have it fixed! I say not worth the money!

This dishwasher is a piece of junk. I would'n't even try to sell it to someone because it doesn't work in the slightest!!
