LG TrueSteam™ Built-In Dishwasher DB425TXS
LG dishwasher takes washing…

Have taken this new LG TrueSteam™ QuadWash™ Built-In Dishwasher - Stainless Steel DB425TXS to replace a 12 year old machine from another known brand that always worked perfectly well.
Like most people we tend to mostly use only two programmes The Eco programme - it saves water and energy and it takes just over 3 hours, so we run it overnight, but everything is sparkling clean and dry unless you have very dirty plates/pots in which case I suggest one of the other ones, personally my favourite is the Intensive as it manages to clear also the most dirty casserole dishes.
Being used to the cutlery caddy I found using the cutlery drawer strange at first but it just took some time to get used to and it was absolutely fine after a while and washed well.
Our old machine used to display a light on the floor to show it was on but this one shows you the amount of time the programme has to run, a nifty feature which also complements the ability to show the time left on the LG app.
The LG ThinQ app was simple to download and set-up, having another LG smart appliance I was used to it, unfortunately setting up the dishwasher was a challenge and proved impossible using the auto settings therefore I had to resort to the manual installation which fortunately worked immediately.
I find the app functions useful, but not life changing and probably not worth the “premium” price tag, still it is a nice added feature, same for the steam option which works well but have not noticed a major difference from the normal cycles, so overall I am very pleased with my purchase as another positive note is how quiet the machine is and I sometimes have to check the app to make sure it is actually on!
I think another most useful feature is the automatic opening function at the end of each cycle which helps to make sure everything inside is sufficiently dry to not need a manual intervention before going back in the cupboard, especially if run overnight.
A side note to LG customer service. I was extremely let down that, although I was offered free delivery and installation on this model, when the delivery company showed up as planned, they quite rudely informed me that because it was an integrated model, they would not install it (or even take it out of the box) and take away my old dishwasher. At this point LG customer service was useless and told me I had to arrange for my own installation and they could only ask again for the old dishwasher to be collected.
