The Ultimate Dishwasher Buying Guide

At LG, you’ll find dishwashers that are designed to fit seamlessly into your kitchen for a modern finish. LG dishwashers can be placed anywhere in your kitchen, although they do need to be plumbed in. They’re easy to install and a good option for renters or those who move frequently, because you can take it with you when you leave.

When choosing a dishwasher, design and functionality go hand in hand. LG offers two distinct styles — Top Control and Front Control — to fit seamlessly into your kitchen and lifestyle.

For a sleek, minimalist look, LG Top Control dishwashers feature a hidden control panel located on the top edge of the door. Controls are easily accessible when the door is open, allowing for a clean, uninterrupted exterior — ideal for modern and premium kitchen designs.

For those who value quick access and visible convenience, LG Front Control dishwashers place the control panel directly on the front. Easily view cycles and adjust settings at a glance, making it a practical choice for busy households that want both style and efficiency.

When shopping for a dishwasher, be sure to check product specifications for its external dimensions. The standard LG dishwasher has a width of 600mm, usually referred to as ‘full size’. You’ll also find the depth and height listed, so compare these measurements to the available space in your kitchen, regardless if you’re considering a freestanding or built-in model.

The capacity of a dishwasher – that is, how much tableware it can clean in one go – is measured by the number of place settings it can hold. A ‘place setting’ refers to the dishes, cutlery and glassware used in a three-course meal. Keep in mind that this measurement serves as a general guide, as tableware comes in varying shapes and sizes. However, since tableware comes in all shapes and sizes, this measurement should be taken as a guide only.

At LG, you’ll find 14 place dishwashers, which are ideal for households of almost any size, including larger families of four or more.

In Singapore, all dishwashers come with a Water Efficiency Label. This rating helps you understand how much water the appliance uses, allowing you to choose a model that supports both eco-friendly living and long-term savings.

When reading the label, remember: the more ticks, the higher the water efficiency. A dishwasher with more ticks uses less water per cycle, helping you save on utility bills while reducing your environmental impact. 

LG dishwashers are packed with lots of handy features that are designed to make the after-dinner clean up even easier: here are a few of them.

LG True Steam^® technology uses steam to penetrate food residue thoroughly to clean dishes with fewer water spots*. It is designed to reach a final rinse temperature greater than 80°C to reduce bacteria on dishes by 99.999%*.

_{*80°C final rinse and E.coli, Listeria & Salmonella bacteria reduction tested using "Eco" cycle with High Temp and Steam options. Water spot reduction tested using "Eco" cycle with Steam option and using the inbuilt water softening system (dishwasher salts).}

Some of our dishwashers are equipped with Auto Open Dry Technology, which automatically opens the door at the end of the wash cycle. This allows steam to escape from the dishwasher, ensuring your dishes dry thoroughly. With this convenient feature, you’ll rarely need to reach for a kitchen towel before putting your plates away — just effortless, spot-free drying every time.

With LG ThinQ™, you can easily manage, monitor, and connect compatible LG appliances — including selected fridges, washing machines, and dishwashers — all through the ThinQ™ app*.

All LG QuadWash® dishwashers come with ThinQ™ compatibility, allowing you to personalise your wash cycles and download new ones. You can also troubleshoot issues directly from your smartphone and set reminders for cleaning cycles*, helping your dishwasher stay fresh and continue performing at its best.
