Artificial intelligence, steam, and automation technologies are changing the routine of planned kitchens.
The new generation of LG dishwashers brings together features focused on speed, efficiency, silence, and washing adaptation, in a proposal that transforms household tasks without abandoning the discreet finish of built-in furniture.
LG has introduced a new line of built-in dishwashers capable of completing washing and drying in one hour, combining artificial intelligence, microbubbles, high-temperature steam, and automatic adjustments defined according to the level of dirt identified during operation.
Primarily aimed at planned kitchens, the set brings together features intended for bottle cleaning, organizing utensils of various shapes, and noise reduction, without abandoning the proposal of discreet integration between the appliance, cabinets, and other elements of the environment.
Artificial intelligence analyzes the level of dirt
At the heart of the automation system is the AI SenseClean cycle, which uses a digital turbidity sensor to examine the water condition during pre-wash, main wash, and rinse, monitoring the changes caused by residue removal.

Based on these readings, the device identifies the degree of dirt present in the load and guides changes in the program, reducing the need for the user to manually define each parameter before starting the cleaning of dishes, glasses, pots, and cutlery.
Among the elements automatically adjusted are the water temperature, the number of rinses, and the volume of detergent used, creating an adaptable operation that modifies the treatment according to the conditions verified inside the compartment throughout each stage.
According to a statement released by LG Electronics, the combination of these variables allows for up to 32 different configurations, used to tailor the washing to both lightly soiled loads and utensils with more difficult residues to remove from surfaces.
Also integrated into the process, machine learning participates in the choice of configurations and allows programs intended for light loads to use different parameters from those applied to sets that require greater washing intensity, temperature, or number of rinses.
For loads with a lower level of dirt, the program aims to reduce time and energy consumption, while more demanding sets receive treatment compatible with the condition detected by the sensor and monitored during the different phases of the cycle.
Microbubbles enhance the action of the detergent
Another feature highlighted by the manufacturer is the QuadWash Pro, a system that produces microbubbles to help the detergent penetrate adhered residues, enhancing the contact of the cleaning solution with plates, glasses, pots, and other utensils placed in the baskets.
Even when the load includes pieces of different materials, shapes, and sizes, the circulation of water seeks to distribute the cleaning action throughout the interior of the machine, while the microbubbles help reach residues stuck to surfaces during operation.
In addition to strengthening the detergent’s action, the system is designed to reduce the need for pre-rinsing, a step often performed at the sink before loading, especially when dried food remains adhered to the utensils used during meals.
This reduction eliminates an additional task before automatic washing and allows plates, dishes, and pots to be placed directly in the baskets in more situations, without relying on the same manual preparation required by conventional programs.
Fast drying and high-temperature steam
Once the main cleaning stage is completed, the Dynamic Heat Dry+ technology takes over moisture removal, using a material that produces heat by absorbing the steam present in the compartment and promoting the circulation of hot air among the utensils.
Designed to speed up drying, the mechanism also aims to reduce the energy consumption associated with the process, acting after rinses to decrease the amount of water that remains on glasses, cutlery, plates, and internal surfaces of the machine.
The TrueSteam adds high-temperature steam when the user selects this option, focusing mainly on reducing water marks that may remain visible on metallic, transparent, or glossy finish utensils.
Integrated with the other technologies of the platform, this feature participates in the cycle that combines washing and drying in 60 minutes, a period announced by the manufacturer for a complete operation that combines microbubbles, rinsing, moisture removal, and optional steam treatment.
New built-in dishwasher was presented at EuroCucina
Presented in April 2026 during EuroCucina, an international exhibition held in the context of Milan Design Week, the new platform represents the first complete redesign of LG’s built-in dishwashers in nine years and was developed for the European market.
This commercial orientation also appears in the dimensions, finish, and installation method, as the flat front was designed to align with the cabinets and drawers present in integrated and planned kitchen projects.
By occupying the reserved space in the furniture, the machine maintains the visual continuity of the surfaces and reduces the presence of visible controls, a characteristic valued in environments where appliances need to match the doors, panels, and finishes of the cabinets.
Instead of adopting a prominent external design, the proposal allows the equipment to be incorporated into the kitchen set, preserving a discreet appearance even with the presence of artificial intelligence technologies, steam, internal lighting, and automatic control.
Adjustable baskets accommodate utensils of different sizes
In the internal compartment, the EasyRack Plus system allows the position of the baskets to be modified to accommodate utensils of various sizes and shapes, expanding the possibilities for organizing plates, pots, trays, glasses, and other items in the same load.
This flexibility prevents all washes from relying on a fixed configuration, as the space can be reorganized according to the pieces used, favoring the use of internal capacity without compromising water circulation between the utensils.
For bottles and deep glasses, the Bottle Wash function uses upper nozzles that direct jets into the interior of the containers, reaching areas where conventional spraying may find greater difficulty during different cleaning stages.
In addition to the specific jets, the internal lighting improves visibility when loading and unloading the pieces, while a hidden LED panel informs the remaining time without altering the external design when the equipment remains off.
Silent operation can reach 37 decibels
Depending on the chosen version, the noise level also becomes relevant in the user experience, especially in homes and apartments where the kitchen shares space with living rooms, dining areas, or rest areas.
In one of the selected models from the line, the operation can reach 37 decibels, a level presented by LG for a configuration aimed at reducing sound interference during conversations, meals, and activities carried out near the equipment.
This silent operation gains importance in compact properties or open-plan layouts, where the sound produced by motors, pumps, and water circulation can easily spread to other spaces during longer cycles.
Associated with noise reduction, the built-in installation reinforces the integration proposal, allowing the appliance to operate near social areas without permanently displaying buttons, lights, or components that disrupt the visual pattern of the furniture.
One-hour cycle combines washing, drying, and steam
The combination of washing and drying in one hour aims to tackle one of the most well-known limitations of dishwashers, as complete programs can require extensive periods when they combine residue removal, successive rinses, and moisture removal.
Instead of offering just an accelerated mode with reduced functions, the platform concentrates microbubble technologies, drying, and optional steam treatment within the announced period, maintaining automatic adjustments made according to the load condition.
To achieve this adaptation, turbidity reading occurs at different moments, as the water condition changes as residues are removed, dissolved, and transported out of the compartment throughout the selected cycle.
During pre-wash, the sensor begins evaluating the particles removed; in the main stage, it monitors the dirt present in the water; later, in the rinse, it provides new information so that the machine adjusts the continuity and intensity of the process.
Among the automatically made decisions is the detergent dosage, accompanied by changes in temperature and the number of rinses, a set that forms the 32 combinations disclosed by LG for different usage conditions.
Thus, lightly soiled loads do not need to receive exactly the same treatment reserved for utensils with stubborn residues, allowing the program to alter specific parameters without forcing the user to understand or select all available possibilities.
Energy efficiency accompanies automatic adjustments
Besides speed, energy efficiency is among the pillars of the new platform, with important models from the premium and higher commercial volume ranges classified in category A according to the European standard informed by the manufacturer.
This classification accompanies the use of sensors, adaptable programs, and drying systems that adjust operation to the load characteristics, avoiding applying the same combination of time, temperature, detergent, and rinses in all situations.
When the sensor detects a lower amount of residues, the programming can employ parameters compatible with this condition; in more demanding loads, the equipment enhances the treatment according to the data obtained during water circulation.
The feature does not eliminate user participation, who remains responsible for choosing optional cycles, organizing utensils, and selecting functions like TrueSteam, but transfers part of the technical decisions to the automation system.
TrueSteam helps reduce water spots
Available upon selection, the TrueSteam cycle does not necessarily operate in all washes, as its application depends on the choice made before starting the program and the need to use high-temperature steam.
When activated, the feature aims to reduce the marks left by droplets after rinsing, especially on glasses, cutlery, and surfaces where mineral residues from the water may remain more visible after drying.
In parallel, the hidden panel preserves the clean appearance of the front, displaying the remaining time only during operation and preventing luminous information from being visible when the machine is not in use.
In a planned kitchen, what would weigh more in choosing a new dishwasher: the complete one-hour cycle, the adjustments by artificial intelligence, or the operation of only 37 decibels?
