There is just nothing like seeing a big delivery truck pulling in to your driveway.
Especially when that delivery truck gives you a nice big box.
A nice big box with these words on it:
The wonderful folks at LG have just revealed their latest innovation, the TrueSteam Dishwasher.
And we were falling over from excitement incredibly honored when LG-One contacted us to see if we would like to give this dishwasher a “test run” and pass along the results to all of you!
Well, I suppose we could try it out…if we have to. We’re givers like that, you know?
Since Heather’s home is currently on the market it only made sense for me to be the one to receive this product. Ok, twist my arm!
I don’t know about your house, but in mine the dishwasher seems to always be running…and running…and running. And since I am still training my kids in the fine art of emptying the dishwasher without it looking like the kitchen exploded, it seems to fall to me to be the one loading and unloading multiple times in a week.
I think I’ve worn down the floor in the little space between the sink and the dishwasher
from standing there so long.
Can you hear the violins playing too?
I know, woe is me!
But, let’s face it, if you have to use something every.single.day then don’t you want it to be as functional as possible? And have it get the dishes cleaned without you having to do a lot of “pre-cleaning”?
And not sound like a small airplane landing in your house?
As soon as I opened the door of my new TrueSteam Dishwasher, it was love at first sight!
What’s not to love?
The idea of having my dishes “steam cleaned”, thanks to LG’s TrueSteam technology, and spending less time (and wasting less water) rinsing them off prior to loading them into the dishwasher is right up this mom’s alley. Especially considering how many dishes get left in the sink overnight.
Don’t tell my mother!
But there was something else as I looked inside that immediately caught my eye.
Can you see it peeking out?
It’s a third rack! Be still my heart.
This is such an awesome feature and it allows you to flip these racks around to adjust the height based on your needs.
Keep it higher for flat items like utensils and spatulas, or lower it a bit for things like measuring or espresso cups. Now I have a good excuse for getting an Espresso Maker!
The third rack is all part of the “Easy-Rack Plus System”.
In “Vanessa” language this translates to: loads more and I have to empty it less often.
Isn’t that a beautiful translation?
Another wonderful feature of this system are these little blue handles. Some of you may have something similar in your dishwashers but this was a new one to me!
They are the gateway to the secret portal I never knew existed.
The one in which I can finally put my large serving platters in the dishwasher instead of hand washing them!
Using them allows me to raise and lower this upper rack according to my needs.
Using them allows me to raise and lower this upper rack according to my needs.
Now I can give our Thanksgiving turkey the proper respect of being displayed in all of it’s glory on a beautiful platter all the while knowing said platter will just be popped right into the dishwasher at the end of the night. By my husband, of course. I mean, come on folks, if I have to cook Thanksgiving dinner I certainly shouldn’t be expected to clean up, right?
I know he won’t complain though because he will know just how easy it is to load it up since I’m sure he will get lots of practice too between now and Thanksgiving!
There are truly so many fantastic…wait…shhhhhh…can you hear that?
Me either!!!
That’s because this is one seriously quiet dishwasher!
When we purchased our previous dishwasher we were informed that it would run quietly.
Apparently there are different definitions of that word.
The first time I ran the LG TrueSteam I had to check it a few times to be sure it was actually running!
The motor and filtration system were designed specifically to make this one of the most quiet dishwashers available. And I can attest to the fact that it is definitely the quietest I’ve ever heard…or not heard!
Now, how about a little demonstration of the new LG TrueSteam Dishwasher?
I’ll just go hide my head under a pillow while you watch this.
As I said in the video, LG stands for “Life’s Good“.
Well, my life is pretty good already.
But this new dishwasher just made it a little bit better!

Love your new dishwasher! I love LG products in general and believe they are hands down one of the best! Loved your video, you are such a natural! Thanks for sharing! XOXO ~Liz
What is it what is it what is it????!! I have a giant LG fridge that came with our house and it is just the best! You did a fantabulous job with the video, and you looked pretty too! 🙂
Oh wow, what a fabulous dishwasher. So thrilled for you. Hugs, Marty
LG does make the best appliances, and your new dishwasher is amazing! Fabulous video too, you are the perfect spokesperson for the company. Congratulations on your new ‘gift’!

My dish washer broke a few years ago and I would love a new one so this is going on my wish list! Loved your video and you bet I’ll be back tomorrow…cheers to LG and At the Picket Fence. : )
How lucky are you! I wish I could get a phone call like that. I am sure that just made your day Vanessa!:) I need a call about a washer machine and dryer!;) Enjoy your new toy!:)
Vanessa, take your head out from under the pillow – you are so CUTE! I will think of you every time i see LG now and smile 🙂 Can’t wait to read your big announcement!
That is awesome. We have an LG and love it BUT it is on it’s last leg so we are trying to look for another one, thanks for letting me know about this and you are too cute.
XO

That is one gorgeous machine! The 3rd rack?! I’d get it just for that feature alone. VERY unique! Your video was awesome. 🙂 Congrats on your fab new toy!
A secret portal, no noise, less water, gorgeous looking – I think I’m in love (don’t tell my hubs)!
I’m nominating you for an Oscar Vanessa for that fabulous video – now I think I’ll go hide from my kids, that spot by the dishwasher looks like a good place!
Kelly
Love that dishwasher Vanessa. As you know, I have an LG dishwasher which I really like but it doesn’t have the top rack or the steam clean feature. I want yours!!!
Love, Mom
Sounds like an awesome dishwasher. We love LG products. So many cool features on the LG you have. Love it.
That is one awesome dishwasher…I am waiting for mine to implode to get a new “quiet one”…..Looks like the LG is in serious contention…..Love all the features…especially the steam!! Great video Vanessa!!…I see a new career ahead of you!!! Can’t wait for the upcoming giveaway…:)
Congratulations, Vanessa. That is just wonderful. Our dishwasher is always running here, too. I am glad you like it- I like the 3rd rack feature-xo Diana
If a dishwasher could be stunning this one would fit the bill. It’s a beauty! Can’t wait to see what the giveaway is!
Wow, wow, wow!!!! Fantastic.
What a great lookin dishwasher! Love the video Vanessa!
Just a few quick observations on this incredible post:
(1) Those are the most beautiful shots of a dishwasher I have ever seen.
(2) A third rack in the dishwasher….be still my heart.
(3) Could you be any cuter as a LG spokesperson kneeling in your kichen 🙂
You are a rock star, Vanessa!
🙂 me
I love your new dishwasher, you lucky gal! I loved the video! I don’t know what the prize is but if it’s from LG, I’ll take it. Love, love their products. You know, I really need a new refrigerator. I have 5 kids and we’ve about used ours to pieces, literally! But, I would be thrilled with anything. Cross your fingers! Twest70@gmail.com

It’s so beautiful. I think I would just stand and watch it while it was running. 😛
This is amazing! And I can’t imagine how excited you must have been to get it in your kitchen. When we moved last year, we bought a fancy new dishwasher and I truly don’t know how I lived without it. I’ve become particularly attached to the different settings and the stainless interior. What a difference that makes for drying.
(PS – I’m a new reader. Thanks for stopping over after our guest post at 2Seasons.)
It’s sad when you drool over a dishwasher right? When we moved to Wisconsin all the houses here were old. The one we first moved into didn’t have a dishwasher or a garbage disposal… I never thought I took my dishwasher forgranted, I used it often, loaded it unloaded it…I never took the time to just stare at it or listen to it run… I can’t even believe I’m saying this about a DISHWASHER! Anyways…we moved into another rental and this one has a dishwasher, only it doesn’t work. I think I’m just going to buy one for it and hope we get to buy this house, haha. At least mama has a garbage disposal because the Lord knows I HATED scraping food out of that little drain trap thingy…. just not my thing! Love your post, great job!! oh and I’m a tiny wee bit jealous ; )
Love it Vanessa! You are so cute in your video, and yes my heart went pitter patter at that third row. What will they think of next?!?!?
It is a beautiful dishwasher. Everything comes clean. The steam dry feature and racks flexibility is very useful too. Control panel is self-explained and simple, unfortunately timer on panel useless, because you cannot see it when door is closed. Quietness of this product is unbelievable.
This is so incredibly awesome! How exciting that you got a super awesome, new dishwasher! Great review too! 🙂

Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say that I’ve really enjoyed surfing around your blog posts. After all I will be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again very soon!
Jealous (in a good way) what a gorgeous dishwasher and steam cleaning to boot! If my dishwasher was that efficient I would not have to play dishwasher tetris!
Be careful, these dishwashers do not accommodate an 11″ plate, completely useless for my families needs
