Verdict

The LG DF273FW is a 60 cm freestanding white dishwasher that accommodates up to 14 place settings and features an outstanding Class A energy efficiency rating, consuming just 54 kWh per 100 cycles and 9.5 liters of water per eco cycle. Its primary characteristics include an Inverter Direct Drive motor, ThinQ smartphone app connectivity for downloading custom cycles, an adjustable EasyRack Plus system with a dedicated third cutlery tray, and multi-directional QuadWash spray arms that thoroughly clean from every angle. Key pros include its exceptionally quiet 44 dB operation, an automatic door-opening feature that enhances natural drying performance, a reliable AquaStop leak protection system, and 10 integrated programs including Eco, Turbo, and Delicate cycles. On the downside, the standard Eco cycle has a notably long duration of nearly five hours (4:59), and unlike some higher-tier LG models, this specific variant does not include TrueSteam technology.
