TORONTO, May 12, 2026 /CNW/ – LG Electronics Canada (LG) today released new national survey findings exploring how Canadians load their dishwashers, as part of the introduction of its LG FlushFit™ Dishwasher.

According to the research commissioned by LG, Canadians bring strong and often differing preferences to how the dishwasher is loaded. Nearly half (47 per cent) believe there is a definitive right and wrong way to do it, while more than one-third (37 per cent) admit to re-loading dishes after someone else has already done it.

“Dishwasher loading might seem like a small task, but it’s one people feel strongly about,” said Melissa Maker, cleaning expert and LG Brand Ambassador. “Everyone has their own system, and that’s often where opinions differ. Whether you put the tines of the fork up or down, the LG FlushFit™ Dishwasher is designed to take the pressure off, with technologies like TrueSteam® and Dynamic Heat Dry™ that help deliver great results.”

LG’s research also found that:

Two in five Canadians (41 per cent) have a specific loading system they prefer others follow
Half (50 per cent) say they feel genuine satisfaction when the dishwasher is loaded properly
Three-quarters (76 per cent) believe certain items should never go in the dishwasher

These behaviours point to a consumer who is highly engaged in everyday routines, with clear preferences for how tasks get done and expectations that their appliances keep up.

In response, LG pairs meaningful consumer insight with thoughtful innovation, designing appliances that reflect how people actually live. At a time when Canadians have strong and often conflicting opinions on how a dishwasher should be loaded, the LG FlushFit™ Dishwasher (LDNTH862S) is designed to help remove the guesswork, supporting consistent cleaning and drying performance, across a range of loading styles.

Designed with both performance and aesthetics in mind, the LG FlushFit™ Dishwasher delivers a seamless, built-in look that integrates cleanly into modern kitchens. Its FlushFit™ design allows the appliance to sit nearly flush with surrounding cabinetry, helping create a streamlined, premium appearance while maximizing usable kitchen space.

With capacity for up to 16 place settings, it is built to handle everything from everyday meals to larger gatherings. The dishwasher operates at a low noise level of approximately 39 dB, supporting a quieter kitchen environment that allows it to run comfortably at any time of day, including in open-concept spaces.

The dishwasher features LG TrueSteam® technology, which uses steam to help break down tough, baked-on food while reducing water spots, helping eliminate the need for pre-washing. It is paired with Dynamic Heat Dry™ with AutoVentDry™, which circulates hot air and automatically opens the door at the end of the cycle to support faster, more complete drying¹.

With a one-hour wash and dry cycle, the LG FlushFit™ Dishwasher is designed to help Canadians spend less time on cleanup and more time enjoying everyday moments at home.

The LG FlushFit™ Dishwasher is available at select major retailers across Canada and through LG.ca. For more detailed information, including pricing and availability, visit LG.ca.
