Cons: Does not dry dishes well, upper and lower racks are poorly designed, no "Clean" indicator.
The Bottom Line: While the LG unit looks good, it is not well designed. There are better units available at a similar price. We recommend AGAINST purchasing this LG dishwasher.
honestreport's Full Review: LG LDS5811ST Stainless Steel 24 in. Built-in Dishw...
Stylish stainless design inside and out. It looks good.
The size of the cabinet opening required is a bit larger than for most other dishwashers, making installation more difficult. Installation of the drain must follow manufacturer's directions exactly. The drain position, we were told by an LG technician, has an influence on its ability to dry dishes properly (we never could get to dry dishes completely). It has no heating coil to assist in drying, and there is no way to adjust the heating time or cycle.
The unit was purchase at Home Depot and installed (improperly) by one of their installation teams. LG was not helpful, pointing to the installation by Home Depot. Home Depot asked that we deal with LG.
After more than a month of frustration Hone Depot agreed to exchange the unit. We chose another brand.
There is no heating coil in this unit, so it does not dry dishes well or completely.
The lower rack must be lined up carefully to be rolled back into the cabinet. The lower rack often caught on one side or the other of the cabinet and would jam, making loading and use difficult compared to other dishwashers we have had.
The upper rack is not well designed. Tall glasses tend to fall over, hitting (and occasionally breaking) another glass next to it. Glasses sit at an odd angle, and there is no obvious and easy place for soup/cereal bowls.
We recommend NOT purchasing this particular LG product.
