Verdict

The LG LDNPM654S FlushFit Dishwasher fits flush to your kitchen countertop and is a smart, efficient appliance with ample power. It offers flexibility, highlighted by a top rack adjustable to three positions. However, it would benefit from a cutlery rack with a sliding compartment for taller glasses. Its cleaning performance is commendable, with steam as an option for heavily soiled items.

Performance

• Cleans well in most cycles
• Good operating costs
• Heavy loading tackles stubborn stains.

Testing the LG LDNPM654S FlushFit on all standard programs, starting with the Normal cycle, showed it costs approximately 15 cents per run. Cleaning performance was generally satisfactory, effectively handling items like dirty coffee and tea cups.

My mac and cheese bowl and used cutlery were cleaned thoroughly, although the cycle struggled with microwaved scrambled eggs, leaving residue.

Switching to automatic cleaning adjusted the cycle to 27°C, improving performance, particularly on the eggshell which was mostly clean.

In the heavy wash mode, costs rose to 48°C, but the steam option and higher temperatures proved effective, thoroughly cleaning heavily soiled items like the eggshell.

The 1-hour cycle worked well for lightly soiled dishes, costing 21 cents, and provided a quick cleaning solution, albeit less efficiently than the normal program.

Should You Buy It?

You want a neat, powerful dishwasher

The LG LDNPM654S offers ample interior space, a sleek installed look, and efficient daily programs with powerful cleaning for heavily soiled items.

You need even more flexibility

If you require greater interior adaptability, consider models with a top sliding cutlery basket for more bottom space.

Final Thoughts

Efficient and powerful when necessary, the LG LDNPM654S FlushFit dishwasher is ideal for busy households. Its FlushFit design enhances kitchen aesthetics, and while mostly flexible, a more adjustable cutlery basket would improve utility.
