With its sleek top-control design, flexible interior layout, and AI-powered cleaning intelligence, it’s built to make everyday cleanup easier, faster, and more efficient.

In this article, we’ll explore what makes this dishwasher an excellent choice for today’s homes. We’ll cover:
Key Features
The LG Smart Top Control Dishwasher is full of intelligence, flexibility, and cleaning power.
TrueSteam® for Cleaner Dishes & Fewer Water Spots
High-temperature steam penetrates stubborn food residue and helps reduce water spotting by up to 60%.* It’s especially effective for glasses, silverware, and delicate items that often come out cloudy in traditional dishwashers.
QuadWash® Pro for an Ultra-Deep Clean
QuadWash® Pro uses high-pressure jets and multi-motion spray arms to reach every corner. Compared to standard QuadWash®, it provides stronger spray intensity and wider coverage, ideal for baked-on, sticky, or tough messes.
Dynamic Heat Dry™ for Faster, More Even Drying
Instead of relying only on heat, this system circulates warm air throughout the tub to dry dishes more quickly and evenly. Plastics, glasses, and utensils all benefit from reduced leftover moisture.
ThinQ® Smart Connectivity
Start a cycle, receive alerts, troubleshoot, or download specialty wash programs right from your phone. Voice assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant are also supported.
Fast 1-Hour Wash & Dry Cycle
One standout feature is LG’s exclusive 1-hour wash-and-dry option. Powered by QuadWash® Pro and Dynamic Heat Dry™, it delivers sparkling, table-ready dishes in less time — ideal for busy evenings or last-minute loads.
Design and Build Quality
The LG Smart Top Control Dishwasher is built to look great and last.
A hidden control panel and PrintProof™ stainless steel finish give it a sleek, minimalist look that resists fingerprints. Inside, the stainless steel tub enhances durability, improves heat retention, and stays cleaner over time.
Premium touches like LED interior lighting and smooth-glide racks elevate the overall feel, making loading and unloading easier and more enjoyable.
Flexible Loading With EasyRack® Plus, with adjustable racks, foldable tines, and a smooth Glide Rail on the upper rack, loading becomes easier than ever. Whether it’s tall glasses, cutting boards, or large pots, the interior adapts to your needs.
Cleaning Performance
The Smart Top Control Dishwasher is built to handle real-world messes, from everyday dinnerware to heavily soiled pots. With its 24-inch standard built-in size, it fits seamlessly into most modern kitchens while delivering cleaning power well above what you’d expect from a traditional dishwasher in this category.
TrueSteam® and QuadWash® Pro work together to target stubborn residue, helping remove dried or baked-on food without requiring a pre-rinse. The upgraded multi-motion spray arms move in several directions, reaching angles that standard two-arm systems often miss. Powerful removal of dried and baked-on food.
Adding to this precision is the AI Direct Drive™ motor, which automatically senses soil levels and adjusts power accordingly. Instead of running a one-size-fits-all cycle, the machine fine-tunes spray pressure and duration to match what’s actually inside. This means improved cleaning performance without unnecessary water use, making each cycle both effective and efficient.
Drying Performance
Drying is another area where this model stands out. LG's Dynamic Heat Dry™ system circulates warm air consistently across the 24-inch tub, producing a more even result, especially on hard-to-dry items like plastic lids and containers. Because the warm airflow moves through the entire interior rather than concentrating in one area, dishes come out noticeably drier and ready to put away.
For added convenience, certain cycles include Auto Open Dry, which automatically opens the door slightly at the end of the wash. This simple feature releases trapped humidity and speeds up natural evaporation. It also helps reduce condensation on the interior walls, leaving glasses spotless and minimizing the need for hand drying.
Together, these systems deliver faster, more complete drying with fewer water spots and significantly fewer towel touch-ups, an upgrade that users notice immediately in daily use.

Smart technology is a major highlight of this model. Through the ThinQ® app, you can:
-
