GE 24 in. Front Control Dishwasher vs LG QuadWash Front Control Dishwasher LDFC2423V

The LG is the better buy for most people. It runs at 48-50 dB versus 58 dB for the GE, has a stainless tub, a third rack, 15 place settings and QuadWash with four spray arms. The GE is a basic 13-setting unit with a plastic tub and a hard food disposer, and this particular unit is sold as a scratch-and-dent product. Owners rate the LG higher across a much larger pool of reviews.

• Choose the GE if you want a simple front-control dishwasher with a hard food disposer and a middle and lower wash arm setup, and you accept a scratched or dented unit.
• Choose the LG if quiet operation, a stainless tub, a third rack and flexible loading matter more to you than the lowest possible outlay.
