Some models marketed as Hybrid will use both materials in the tub, often using stainless steel on the interior door to increase durability on the part of the appliance with the most common wear and tear.)

  • Features
    • Hard Food Disposer: false (This feature has blades to chop and disintegrate hard food particles, making them small enough to easily drain away. This prevents them from being recirculated back onto dishware and allows for easy maintenance.)
    • Drying Method: Heated drying (Appliances that use heat to dry the dishes will include a heating element or minerals which transform moisture into heat. A fan or vent then circulates the hot dry air throughout the tub during the drying cycle. This may reduce drying time and the risk of water spots. Appliances that use minerals to produce heat are considered more energy efficient than those that include a heating element. Appliances that use condensation drying are considered more energy efficient than those that use heated drying. Instead, high temperature water is produced during the final rinse cycle which warms the interior and eventually condensates and drains out of the machine.)
    • Operating Sound Level: 39 decibels adjusted (Today's appliances are pretty quiet. To get a sense for how quiet you'll need, think about having a conversation in the same room.

Q: Does this dishwasher have a stainless steel interior?

A: Yes, this dishwasher has a durable stainless steel interior.

Q: Does this dishwasher have a cycle for a quick wash?

A: Yes, this dishwasher has an express wash cycle.

Q: Is there a third rack in this dishwasher?

A: Yes, this dishwasher has a third level utensil rack.

Q: Does this dishwasher use sensors to adjust the wash cycle?

A: Yes, this dishwasher uses sensors to measure soil levels and adapt the wash cycle.

Q: Does this dishwasher have a heated drying option?

A: Yes, this dishwasher has a heat dry option.

Q: Are the dishwasher controls located on the front?

A: Yes, the controls are located on the front of the dishwasher.

Q: Can the height of the middle rack be adjusted?

A: Yes, the middle rack is adjustable to fit taller items.

Q: How long are the cycles? I used to own a KitchenAid dishwasher that took four and a half hours to finish normal cycle. Thus, only one wash a day. It took me two days to finish cleaning after a family party.

A: First thing I would say is that this dishwasher is very quiet. You can barely hear it running. So far we have only used the Normal cycle with the heated dry. The best I can tell the Normal Wash cycle takes about two hours and the Heated Dry possibly 30-60 minutes. I'm not sure on the length of drying time as I haven't caught it precisely yet. We are very pleased with the operation of this dishwasher and I love how quiet it is. Our old one sounded like a M60-A1 Army tank going through the neighborhood.
