Cleaning Ratings
Spray Jets	Supplemental spray jets are not available with the LDF6920BB model. Uncommon feature but high-pressure jets are effective on dishes with baked-on food or grease.
Steam	Does not have the capability to generate steam. Steam cycles are only found on a few higher-priced dishwashers and they can really help loosen stubborn food deposits.
Wash Levels	Dishes are washed from 5 different levels, which is standard. Streams of water from several different angles and directions is important for thorough cleaning.	✔
Sensor Washing	Uses one or more sensors to measure soil content, load level, and/or water temperature. Sensors automatically make cycle adjustments to ensure optimum cleaning.	✔
NSF Sanitize	Includes a sanitary cycle that is NSF certified to remove 99.9% of germs and bacteria. Water temperatures reach approximately 150-degrees to help disinfect your dishes.	✔
Cycles & Options	You can choose from 12 different cycles and options, which is above average. Higher cycles and options gives you more flexibility to fit your lifestyle and get your dishes clean.	✔
Food Disposer	Includes a built-in food disposer. Helps keep the wash water clean and free of debris, which in turn minimizes food particles that can deposit on dishes.	✔
High-Temp Option	Includes the option to choose a high-temperature wash cycle. High temperature water is one of the most important ingredients for producing really clean dishes.	✔

Drying Ratings
Heated Dry	Includes an option to dry the dishes faster with an internal heating element. Heated drying can also help to reduce spotting on dishes and especially glassware.	✔
Tub Material	Stainless steel interior helps dry dishes faster and more efficiently. Stainless steel has natural heat-retaining and water-condensing properties that help dry your dishes.	✔

Loading Ratings
Number Racks	The LDF6920BB has a standard 2-rack design with both upper and lower racks. A few dishwasher models have 3-rack designs, but two racks are adequate.	✔
Spray Arms	Uses a superior spray arm design instead of a central tower. Spray arms provide more wash levels and don't take up rack space or limit loading flexibility.	✔
Adjustable Racks	One or more of the racks can be adjusted to move up, down, and/or tilt. Adjustable racks create additional room for larger items such as cookie sheets or large pots.	✔
Removable Racks	Like most dishwashers, the racks cannot be removed. It's a little less convenient for those rare occasions when you have huge items that won't fit with both racks installed.
Fold-Down Tines	Rack divider tines cannot be folded down. Not a major issue, but it does limit your ability to create additional space as needed for larger loads.
Cup Shelf	Does not have an additional cup shelf that allows you to stack more glasses and coffee mugs or to secure delicate stemware after a large dinner party.
Silverware Basket	The silverware basket has premium features such as being movable, dividable, or fitted with covered slots. A flexible silverware basket can make loading and unloading easier.	✔
Utility Basket	Like most dishwashers, this does not have an extra utility basket or tray that can store utensils, cutlery, or other items that don't fit in the standard basket.
Detergent Dispenser	Uses a standard detergent dispenser that you fill each time you run a new wash cycle. A few models have reservoirs that can hold multiple cycles of detergent.

Capacity Ratings
Place Settings	This 24-in tall tub dishwasher is designed to hold 16 place settings of dishes, which is 2 place settings higher than average. A family of four needs about 14 place settings.	✔
Tub Size	Super-capacity tall-tub with about 20% more interior room than standard tubs. The additional tub height allows you to load taller items in the upper rack.	✔

Efficiency Ratings
Energy Star	The LG LDF6920BB is Energy Star qualified. It uses 8% less energy, and 32% less water than the maximum allowed Energy Star standard.	✔
Energy Ratings	The estimated annual electricity use is 285 kWh according to the EnergyGuide ratings. This is 2% better than the average new dishwasher.	✔
Water Ratings	The estimated water usage is 3.4 gallons per cycle according to data from the US Dept of Energy. This is 18% better than the average new dishwasher.	✔
Energy Saver	No option to select an economy or quick-wash cycle that uses lower temperatures or less water when your dishes have minimal food deposits.
Half-Load Option	You can save water and energy by washing a partial load in just one of the racks. After-party clean-up is economical when you only have glasses or stemware to wash.	✔
Delay-Start Option	Includes an energy-saving option to automatically run the dishwasher overnight or during off-peak energy hours when electric utility rates are often substantially less.	✔

Sound Ratings
Sound Level	Sound decibel level is 52 dBA. It is 1 dba quieter than average with sound ratings in the top 36% of the best dishwashers. A 3 dBA decrease is like doubling the distance.	✔

Style Ratings
Door Panel	Standard black or white front seems to never go out of style. It's easy to color-coordinate with the rest of your kitchen and is more economical than stainless.
Tub Material	Stainless steel tub and door lining looks high-tech and is stain-resistant, rust-resistant, durable, and less likely to absorb odors. Helps dry dishes quickly.	✔
Control Console	All-digital touch-pad control console is fully integrated (hidden) on the top door edge for a clean, seamless look from the front. Currently the most popular style.	✔
Digital Display	The LG LDF6920BB does not include a digital display in the control console that shows cycle time remaining or other wash status information. Not necessary.

Price Ratings
MSRP	The MSRP is $799. Sale price is usually 10%-20% less. It is priced about average when compared to other new dishwashers.	✔
