As I already have an LG washing machine, I was very much looking forward to using this LG dishwasher.
The LG DF455HMS dishwasher is a high-end appliance which shows in the design, looks and feature set. It is part of the LG QuadWash series which uses fours spray arms to enhance the washing performance. This model is also equipped with LG’s TrueSteam technology, which uses hot steam to sanitise dishes, eliminate bacteria and odours. The dishwasher according to the advertisement has enough room for 15 place settings, which is ideal for larger families and one’s like mine which seem to use more dishes and cutlery than most other families twice the size.
From the moment it arrived I was impressed; the packaging was well thought out and I feel plastic and non-recyclable materials were minimised. Before use, there is a small amount of prep which included, removing tear off film from the internal drawers, some foam spacers and fitting some rubber trim and additional sound deadening. Also if you have a porous worktop there was some tape supplied to install and prevent steam damage to the underside of the worktop (door pops open at the end of the cycle to help the drying process, this can be switched off). Once all the parts were fitted the machine is slid into place and levelled, the feet were easy to access and levelled easily.
Before running the first wash you need to setup the water hardness, and fill with salt/rinse aid. This again was an easy process as you can either look it up on the water companies website or use the included water hardness test strip.
Smart app setup is super easy and as I already had the app installed it detected the dishwasher seconds after pressing the Wi-Fi button. A nice touch was the dishwasher seemed to be automatically registered on my account and registered for warranty, as I received an email shortly after. There are a large number of features that can be turned on/off and you can also download ‘new’ cycles from within the app if there is something else you need over and above the standard ones.
All in all, this is a fantastic dishwasher that not only does the job superbly but also is super quiet and satisfies the techie part of my life. Now what other LG appliances can get for the home?
