esaperst's Full Review: LG LDS5811ST Stainless Steel 24 in. Built-in Dishw...
This was a major disappointment … my Kitchenaid died an untimely death and I finally agonized and ended up with an LG based on the ratings of being extremely quiet and seeing it was all stainless steel. We purchased this machine April of 2006. The first disappointment we faced was that it took absolutely forever to wash dishes, the power scrub lasted almost three hours and the normal was still over two hours! This was annoying enough, but the end result is it didn’t clean anywhere near as good as the Kitchenaid did, nor as good as my other dishwasher which is a GE. It was quiet though … The next disappointment came about a month ago when we realized the dishwasher simply wasn’t cleaning; now May of 㢫 … so just over a year old. We called to engage our extended service plan (which oddly was a GE program) Disappointment followed suit when GE takes about three weeks to find a service center, then doesn’t even bother to tell me they finally found one until I call in spending another 45 minutes on the phone with them. I’ll follow up on how this goes, as I am still without a working dishwasher waiting for the service appointment date in July. Apparently there are not many companies servicing LG, and they are constantly failing so the backlog is deep with companies that do offer to repair them.
More to follow!
And the more - 10/7/2008 - Dishwasher is down again, has been for 2-3 months been too lazy to get it fixed. Sad part is the GE in my bar area works fine and given the rediculous fiasco of getting "GE Service" to fix the LG ... I may never buy another GE either!
Guess at some point we'll get it fixed, and see if it dies again!
