Lagan dishwasher reviews

Lagan dishwashers are a relatively new offering from the Swedish company IKEA. This dishwasher is an in-house development, from assembly to design, allowing for a lower cost and more accessible product. The price of a Lagan dishwasher is the first thing that attracts consumers, but is it worth trusting? Is it reliable? Does it perform well? To answer these questions more accurately, let's look at the reviews of people who have already tried the Lagan dishwasher.

Reviews from consumers who have been using Lagan for 2 years

In March 2014, I was completely renovating my kitchen and was strapped for cash. Then IKEA launched a new product: the Lagan built-in dishwasher. I liked the look of it; it was neat, uncluttered, and it only cost $120 at the time. I decided against buying it right away and googled it, but I couldn't find any reliable information: no instructions, no detailed specifications, and customer reviews were even more nonexistent, considering it was brand new.

So, I counted the money, realized I wouldn't buy any other dishwasher anytime soon except for the Lagan, and I made the decision. It fits perfectly in my new kitchen, and the technician connected it up without any problems. I've been using it for two years now and have no complaints. It washes dishes well, has a large capacity, and uses all detergents and tablets, even the cheapest ones. I give it a cleaning every three months, washing the filter and mesh, and washing the walls. I mainly use the "Normal Wash" program—it's the best. The machine is practically silent, at least it doesn't irritate me, although I have nothing to compare it to. I give the Lagan dishwasher a solid A.

The Lagan dishwasher is one of my best and most successful purchases. I'm not a technology expert and am usually cautious about such purchases, but I decided to go for it, succumbing to the salesperson's persuasion. I've been washing dishes for two years now, and it's been going well. I wouldn't say I wash it often, but it's about two or three times a week, since I live alone and don't accumulate dishes. I use Finish detergent. I've bought it and refilled it several times. Finish dishwasher salt, as I've heard that without salt the machine will break down quickly. Overall, it's a good dishwasher, I recommend it to everyone, you won't regret it; it's cheap and cheerful.

Getting a dishwasher in my family was a very pleasant surprise, and I'm still thrilled. My friends gave it to me as a housewarming gift; I'd never really considered buying a dishwasher until then. It's so wonderful not having to scrub mountains of dishes by hand. I'm the only one washing dishes in our family; everyone else just puts them in the sink, but since getting a dishwasher, my husband has taken an interest in it and is now learning how to use it. We have a built-in Lagan dishwasher from IKEA, and it's been working for a year and a half. It holds a lot of dishes, has three wash cycles, and cleans everything well, even greasy pans. I'm very happy with the gift; I give it an A+.

I searched for an affordable built-in dishwasher for a long time. My father and I scoured every store, and finally found what we needed at IKEA. I never expected to find good appliances in a place where they sell good furniture, especially for such a low price: a Lagan machine cost $130. After almost a year and a half of use, I haven't found any significant flaws. The only thing I'd like is for the manufacturer to include a child safety lock, but otherwise, everything is great.

Feedback from a consumer who has been using Lagan for less than 1 year

A friend tried to talk me out of buying this dishwasher, but I ultimately ignored her and bought it anyway. And, indeed, I should have listened to reason: the brand was strange, the price was incredibly low, and, in short, I paid for my shortsightedness. Four months after purchasing the "wonderful" Lagan dishwasher, the circulation pump failed. At least, that's what I was told at the service center where I returned it for warranty. Now, two months later, I haven't been able to get my dishwasher back. I'm giving the Lagan dishwasher the lowest rating, even to Ikea, the company that came up with it!

In conclusion, I'd like to share the opinion of experts who claim that the first batches of Lagan dishwashers produced by IKEA were excellent. This included both the components and the assembly. Over the past year, the quality of these machines has noticeably deteriorated, as noted by service centers, as the number of inquiries from people who purchased this model has almost doubled. It's difficult to say whether this trend is natural, but it's definitely worth paying attention to.
