The LG LDFN454HT is built around the QuadWash system, which adds mini spray arms to the main arms for full coverage of every dish. TrueSteam technology reduces water spots and helps the drying cycle. The PrintProof finish is a fingerprint-resistant coating that actually works, and the 44 dBA noise rating keeps the kitchen quiet. LG includes a 10-year limited warranty on the direct drive motor.
DishwashersI shopped around for months and the LG LDFN454HT is the best combination of price and features. The QuadWash system, TrueSteam, and the direct drive motor are all premium features at a mid-range price. The PrintProof finish is a nice bonus.
The normal cycle runs about two and a half hours, which is longer than I would like. The cleaning is excellent though, and the QuadWash really does make a difference. The TrueSteam feature is great for glassware. The 44 dBA is honest.
After a year of heavy use, the LG still cleans and dries as well as the day I installed it. The direct drive motor warranty is reassuring. The racks are flexible and the third rack is well designed. The PrintProof finish holds up to fingerprints.
The QuadWash system cleans everything, including my tough baking dishes. The TrueSteam feature reduces water spots on glasses. The Wi-Fi connectivity lets me start cycles from my phone. The 44 dBA rating is honest. The control panel is a bit complicated at first.
The four spray arms, including the two mini arms on the top rack, give every dish direct water contact. I have never had to rewash a dish since installing this. The TrueSteam feature really does reduce water spots. The PrintProof finish actually works.
