LG QuadWash XD3A15MB (Matte Black)

It's a quiet and good quality machine until it's not. We had it for 6 years and then it kept getting errors. I would have expected it to last at least 10 years for the price. Would not purchase LG again. Show details

Excellent product. Not perfect, but really good – After a few months of ownership, and having the chance to use the Bosch and Miele premium products, I've gone back and upgraded to 5 stars. This dishwasher is a lot better than the other two brands offerings in terms of dryness and wash quality. Does a great job washing dishes, is quiet and looks good. Can't comment on the reliability yet. Some… Read more ·  1

positives: • Buttons are on top of door, which is a great location • Automatic opening of the door at the end of cycle is fantastic for dry dishes • Dishes and plastics come out very clean and very dry • Quiet operation • Efficient with water and power • Notifications (on app) when cycle is finished is useful • Dishwasher looks great • Is easy to clean and doesn't fingerprint easily • Racks are adjustable in height, tines can be lowered • Cutlery drawer is such a great addition over a basket. It creates so mcuh space for larger items in the racks,

Improvements: • Colour is gun metal grey, not matte black as advertised • Inlet water hose has a large object near the end, requiring a larger hole in the cabinetry. • Instructions for installing the sound deadening material are poorly written • The app lacks functionality (can't control the dishwasher, only get information or push messages from it)

Great product, so easy to use! – Easy use, no issues to complain about, fits all the glassware, pots, cups and even sings to you when the load is done! Greatly recommended to everyone its time saving. Show details ·  1

NOT MATT BLACK – Purchased for mainly matt black appliances but product is gun metal grey. Very disappointing. It sits under a matt black sink so color difference very noticeable. Should not be allowed to advertise this color when it is not Show details ·  1

Very quiet, no more bending with top cutlery drawer & it dries plastics and opens the door at the end – After much umming and aahing I couldn't decide which dishwasher to buy. I had put off buying one for 6 weeks as our old dw had begun to sound like it was reaching the end of it's life. I have always used productreview.com.au to check before buying any major appliance. However this time, it & most other review sites seem to be mostly full of… Read more ·  1

reviews complaining of problems only and hardly anyone seems to bother writing about an appliance if it's good and keeping them happy. So I decided I should make the effort to report on our findings re the LG Matte Black XD3A15MB Dishwasher.

I have to say I am very happy with it. Don't regret buying it at all. Due to covid stock depletion, cheaper models were out of stock, so too were the white door versions. But the Matte Black door is actually looking pretty good in place next to my Tassie Oak cupboards and is not too finger mark prone; and it looks much better than I thought it would. It is exceptionally quiet. It cleans the dishes really well. It has programs to open the door at the end slightly, or you can turn it off, depending on your preference. I am very happy with the dishwasher and really like the cutlery drawer at the very top. No more bending down to pull out the lower tray and trying to load the cutlery into separate squares of the old basket. The top cutlery rack and middle Glass/small plate rack are also both adjustable in height, and although I wondered before purchase if I could get all types of cutlery and utensils in, I need not have been worried as this dishwasher has ample variations in rack position and has ample room for potato mashers on the middle rack too. It almost dried fully (bar 2 drops of water left on just 1 container edge) of 6 plastic containers and 6 lids that were of reasonable size and filled up the middle rack. That is a first, as my old dishwasher never dried things like this. Plastic used to always come out covered in heaps of drops of water and always needed manual drying or a long while resting in the sunny dishrack above to fully dry. This will save lots of time allowing me to put the plastic items away immediately.

Turbo 65' Express cycle used so far. I think I will stick with it. I rinsed the dishes first as the manual suggested. They weren't pristine looking, but rinsed of excessive food scraps/crumbs. You can connect your phone to this dw, and be reminded when it wants me to run the cleaning cycle, but I have no desire to do that. I will watch for it on the display instead.

It has a good printed english manual, and is relatively intuitive to use after you've read the manual. I will write further and update this if anything changes, but for now I'm giving it 5 stars. Bought from Harvey Norman at $1399. No discount price but it was in stock and delivered less than 24 hrs after I bought it to my rural address for $49. Easy as.

Energy and water efficient, very good cleaning result. Steam result is very good. Very quiet – After a 3 week wait for delivery and a huge job ripping out cabinets and plumbing work to extend pipes to the cabinet area I created. I am very happy with this dishwasher and thankfully zero faults or problems. Hand washing is extremely inefficient with water. We are noticing a reduction of water usage and the energy consumption is neglible. … Read more

This unit is a good price point as far as energy and water efficiency is concerned at 4 stars and 5.5 WELS rating.

I was able to pick it up for $1350 lower than RRP. If you are not concerned about delivery time Billy Guyatts is OK. But I had to micro manage them and call them 10 times about delivery. It was still worth that effort for that price. The unit had to come directly from LG and the delivery people took an extra week to get to me.

It is extremely quiet, the water inlet tap is much louder than the unit in operation.

We are using an eco setting with stream, although with the steam enabled, another optional setting on the console for energy reduction is greyed out. Meaning the steam uses more power. It's not necessary until you actually need it, for cat bowls and caked on utensils etc. The steam is optional so not on all the time.

The cleaning result is very good. Drying is good but some water sticks around on top of cups and anything large that may capture water. There is a function to automatically open the door after cleaning for further air drying, this is different to others.

The rack space is large enough and adequate, but there is the usual issue of long glasses hitting the cutlery tray.

I am happy there is no faults with the unit as other brands with the same ratings have faults. If you don't need black stainless steel, you can get the platinum stainless steel with the same 5.5 WELS rating at a much cheaper price.

My concern with the unit is I was unable to figure out how to attach the rubber parts to fit around the cabinet to supposably reduce noise. I am still trying to work out how to get rubber strips 85cm high to fill the gaps on the side and use the supplied strips to attach to the bottom to block the space around the legs to stop foodstuff and dust getting underneath.

I tried to get support from LG. But they were terrible and truely shocking. I had rude people on the phone refuting what I was seeing in the manual. It is currently unresolved. They were hard to get information in regards to keeping the useless wireless "smart" systems off also.
