This is another good example of a great LG product. This dishwasher is quiet, simple to load, comes with a ton of configurable options in terms of racking items for cleaning, and very energy/water efficient. The stainless steel tub is great, and the internal LED illumination helps loading/unloading. The only real drawback to this unit is the fact that the cycle times are quite long due to the energy and water conservation. Even a full load on the "Quick" setting takes about an hour and a half. Normal loads are closer to 2 and a half hours. Also - you may want to consider how the steam from the unit will affect your flooring - it vents from the bottom front. If you have a natural stone floor or other material that may discolor from the condensation of the steam, you may want to be sure of the impact before going this route. (That's not a drawback of just LG, but of any dishwasher that vents steam near the floor.)
Installation was a snap, though - pretty much a straight-forward dishwasher install.
