Overall this dishwasher which cost about 25% more than my prior LG dishwasher, but is louder, with less options, and the components feel cheaper. We replaced our prior LG dishwasher with this one because we thought it was the newer model of the prior one that had been discontinued. And the only reason I was able to convince my husband to buy another LG (after a nightmare warranty issue that lasted 11 months with LG - thank you Costco for honoring their warranty!) was because black stainless is not an industry standard color across brands and I wanted my full kitchen to match. Well, this black stainless was different than the prior LG black stainless

The warranty service company has a replacement motor on order, but because of "COVID" (I've grown tired of that excuse for everything), they have no idea how long it will take for the part to arrive, and once it does, they have no idea how soon they'll be able to schedule someone to come out to replace it because they're backlogged because of (cough cough) COVID
