Third-party reviews

What we like about LG DF273FVS

  • Excellent cleaning capability backed by QuadWash four-arm spray system
  • TrueSteam technology effectively loosens dried-on food and reduces water spots
  • Flexible loading with adjustable middle rack and customizable EasyRack Plus features
  • Convenient dedicated third rack for cutlery and long cooking utensils
  • Highly energy-efficient operation with an A rating and low water consumption
  • Very quiet operation thanks to the Inverter Direct Drive motor
  • Auto-open door feature at the end of cycles helps steam escape naturally
  • Smart features through the ThinQ Wi-Fi app allow remote monitoring and program downloads

What we don't like about LG DF273FVS

  • Drying performance can be inconsistent, particularly for plastic items
  • Standard wash cycles with extra steam or dry boost modes can take a long time
  • LED display indicator light can feel overly bright in nearby spaces after completion
  • Higher initial purchase price compared to entry-level models
  • App connectivity and some specialized smart settings may feel unnecessary to certain users

Verdict

The LG DF273FVS is a full-size freestanding dishwasher featuring a 14 place setting capacity, 10 wash programmes, and a highly efficient A energy rating, consuming 54 kWh per 100 cycles and 9.5 litres of water per wash. Key characteristics include TrueSteam technology to eliminate 99.99% of bacteria, a multi-directional QuadWash four-arm spray system, and an Inverter Direct Drive motor that ensures exceptionally quiet operation at 44 dB. Major advantages include its flexible EasyRack Plus system with a 3rd-level cutlery drawer, a Dual Zone Wash feature for custom rack pressures, an automatic door opening mechanism for enhanced drying, and smart Wi-Fi connectivity via the LG ThinQ app. On the downside, some configurations lack an integrated overflow protection sensor, it requires a dedicated cold fill water supply, and its smart app reliance may complicate setup for non-tech-savvy users.
