Why buy LG
Since 1958, LG have built a hard-earned name for making their customers lives better through constant product innovation. Their durable, do-it-all dishwashers are no exception and are among the most popular dishwashers in Australia.
“Designed to make clean-ups feel effortless, LG’s advanced dishwashers come with clever tricks like adjustable racks to give you the flexibility to accommodate many sizes of dishes and pans in one load, superior stain removal technology for even the most stubborn spots, and Wi-Fi connectivity to make every cycle work best for you,” says Tania.
What’s more, the latest LG dishwashers, such as the LG QuadWash® Dishwasher in Stainless Steel, sport a sleek and understated exterior design that’s sure to enhance the look of any modern kitchen.

#3 Smarter service
Want to do the dishes on your terms? Switch to a cutting-edge LG dishwasher and take total control by hooking up to the LG ThinQ® app on your smartphone or connected smart home hub. You can download new customised wash cycles such as 'Pots & Pans' or 'Night Care' (great for curbing condensation when you want to clean dishes overnight), get alerts when your dishes are done, or trouble-shoot your appliance.
#4 Streamlined wash-ups
Forget “one cycle fits all” thinking! With LG’s handy Dual Zone Wash tech you can gently clean your delicate glassware in the upper basket while giving your dirty pots and pans the more intense treatment on the lower rack. A flexible upper rack that can be adjusted to three different heights also means easier loading for even your most awkward or bulky items.
#5 Convenient cycles
Don’t want your half-full dishwasher getting a little (well) ripe while you wait for a full load? No problem! New LG dishwashers have a Half Load Wash option that adjusts water and program times for smaller loads, saving you on water consumption and energy bills. Need the dishes done pronto? Select the Turbo cycle to wash lightly soiled dishes in less than an hour.
