Third-party reviews

What we like about LG DB597TXSW

  • Highly energy efficient, exceeding the minimum Class A requirements by 20%
  • Excellent cleaning performance powered by the multidirectional QuadWash 4-spray arm system
  • TrueSteam technology effectively dissolves tough grime and sanitizes while minimizing water streaks on glassware
  • Operates very quietly at 43 dB
  • Flexible loading with the three-basket EasyRack Plus system featuring adjustable elements and a dedicated cutlery rack
  • Smart features like WiFi connectivity and compatibility with the LG ThinQ app

What we don't like about LG DB597TXSW

  • Some wash programs feature very long cycle times
  • Drying results can occasionally be imperfect or leave certain items slightly wet
  • Heavily greased items require highly precise positioning directly facing the water jets to clean properly when using energy-saving options
  • Issues with using certain detergent tablets, which can occasionally cause the machine to stall or fail to dissolve completely

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.
