In response to people spending more time at home, appliance manufacturer LG Electronics USA has introduced an updated line of Wi-Fi-enabled, smart QuadWash dishwashers featuring drying technology to help eliminate water spots and drying by hand.

The dishwashers are certified to sanitize dishes.

“U.S. households are using dishwashers more than ever,” the company says. “Designed for advanced cleaning and flexible capacity, the updated line of Wi-Fi-enabled, smart LG QuadWash dishwashers feature Dynamic Dry technology to help eliminate water spots and drying by hand, and they are certified by experts to sanitize dishes, glasses and more.”

LG says certain models with TrueSteam are the only ones in the industry to deliver two separate blasts of real steam from powerful steam jets for better cleaning and drying that eliminates water spots by up to 60 percent.

Featuring the company’s QuadWash technology gets, the dishwasher cleans dishes the first time with four powerful spray arms instead of the standard two, LG explains. The Multi-Motion arms rotate back and forth while spinning to power-clean dishes from multiple angles throughout the entire cycle, saving users the time and headache of having to prewash or rewash dishes by hand.

In addition to the cleaning, the new unit dries dishes better with fewer water spots. As the company explains it, Dynamic Dry technology built into the units “delivers faster, more complete drying of dishes, glasses, utensils, containers and more so they are ready for storage or your table right off the rack,” LG explains. “Dynamic Dry enhanced with TrueSteam (models LDP6810, LDP7808, LDT7808), transforms the power of steam into ultimate drying for 60 percent fewer water spots for brilliant, sparking glassware and more— no more wasting time and effort wiping spotty glasses by hand.”

Only LG TrueSteam delivers two separate blasts of real steam for better cleaning and drying. The four powerful steam jets on the door, plus additional jets on the interior top and bottom, deliver powerful steam at the start of the cycle to penetrate caked-on foods while LG QuadWash powers through debris leaving no trace behind so you can skip the sink with no pre-rinsing needed. At the end, steam helps super-heat the interior for drier, sparkling dishes and glassware.

With sanitization a priority, LG integrated a sanitize feature in its models as well. All 2020 models are certified by the National Sanitization Foundation to reduce bacteria on dishes by 99.99 percent and reach a final rinse temperature greater than 150 degrees Fahrenheit when operated on the steam cycle of TrueSteam models or the High Temp Cycle of other LG dishwashers, the brand says.

Another feature of the dishwashers is a height-adjustable third rack to hold more items. Perfect for everything from flatware and long-handled utensils to small espresso cups, the adjustable main upper rack offers three height settings to make room for tall stemware on top or oversize pans below. Plus, the customizable tines offer more flexibility for loading large platters, bowls and pots without compromising performance, the company says.

The line comes in PrintProof finish options to make it easy to keep the dishwasher looking clean. LG QuadWash dishwashers are available now.
