We bought ours 12 years ago and the only failure was the clutch that has just gone. It's been a very solid machine but we best buy new since there could be more issues around the corner - it's lasted longer than we expected. Sure the lint issue were present, and wow, the drum underneath was disgusting, but that might just be our detergent choices and it obviously didn't effect reliability. Well done LG for the direct drive system, it lasted. I'm very concerned on the current LG lineup for >10kg machines (massive Lint issues), so I don't want to change brand's but I might have to (though we just bought an LG Dishwashwer last week to replace an aged Ariston). Thanks LG, please focus in on the recent feedback, hope to see you again soon.

We bought this machine 10 years ago and it only just gave up today. We miss it already :( We are a family of 7 and it has definitely worked hard over the years! It has never had a single problem and we are now faced with the daunting task of finding a machine as good to replace it.

I bought it 6 years ago and still working as new. Never ever had any problems so far.
