Verdict

The LG DB597TXSW is a 60 cm fully integrated built-in dishwasher offering a 14 place setting capacity and operating on an exceptionally efficient Inverter Direct Drive motor that achieves a Class A -20% energy rating, consuming just 9.5 liters of water and 44 kWh per 100 cycles. Key performance pros include its powerful 100°C TrueSteam technology for streak-free sanitization, a 4-arm QuadWash system for multi-directional cleaning, a highly adjustable EasyRack Plus layout with a dedicated 3rd cutlery rack, smart Wi-Fi management via the LG ThinQ app, and an ultra-quiet 43 dB noise level paired with an automatic door-opening feature for improved drying. On the downside, its standard eco-cycle duration is notably long at 285 minutes, and plastic items can occasionally retain residual moisture due to the reliance on natural condensation drying.
