KitchenAid - 24" Front Control Built-In Dishwasher with Stainless Steel Tub, ProWash Cycle, 3rd Rack, 39 dBA - Stainless Steel

I purchased this KitchenAid 24" Front Control Dishwasher back in November 2022, and it’s hands down one of the best appliance decisions I’ve ever made. From day one, it has delivered exceptional cleaning performance, and after two years of daily use, it still runs like brand new, average operation 1-2 per week. The ProWash Cycle automatically adjusts to the load and has never let me down — everything from delicate glassware to pots with baked-on food comes out spotless. The 3rd rack is a game changer; it gives so much extra room for utensils and smaller items, freeing up space on the lower racks. This was a must-have for me and it has definitely lived up to the hype. What truly stands out is the quiet operation. At just 39 dBA, it’s so silent that I often have to check the indicator light to confirm it’s even running. That’s been a huge plus in an open-concept home where kitchen noise usually travels. Compared to my old GE (no shade) which we could often hear in operation from our upstairs bedroom. The PrintShield stainless steel finish still looks fantastic, resisting fingerprints and smudges far better than my old dishwasher. It still looks brand new, which is impressive after nearly two years of regular use. Overall, this dishwasher has been a perfect mix of style, reliability, and performance. If you’re on the fence. When we had the repair tech from Geek Squad come out to look at the old machine, we asked his opinion on replacement items (repair wasn't worth the cost) and Kitchen Aid and Bosch were high on his list of recommended brands. I can confidently say it’s been worth every penny.

Before purchasing this product, I spent a fair amount of time to decide which dishwasher was the best one to buy. It was worth the time reading reviews and that’s how I made my decision. Hands down…… best decision ever . I paid for the install and the crew did a fantastic job. I also purchased the separate hook up kit which was installed. They cleaned up and made sure it was ready to go. I have filled up the dishwasher 5 times now with no problems. I CANNOT believe how quiet this machine is !!! My husband asked me a few times, did you start it? I am very happy with everything. I haven’t used the top rack yet !! Clean squeaky glasses and plates and silverware . I used the Finish samples inside the unit. I highly recommend this machine. Lots of room inside. I couldn’t have picked a better dishwasher !!

We’ve had KitchenAid products before and a KitchenAid dishwasher in our previous house. They’re not cheap but you get what you pay for. I installed this myself and it took three hours. It would’ve been closer to two had I worked with another pair of hands but being a stubborn idiot I was adamant I didn’t need help. Slow and steady wins the race. The dishwasher itself cleans very well. We really only use one setting - normal + dry. It’s quiet (the sound insulation does the trick) and does easy to operate. I prefer simple operation panel and this has that. I found our previous Samsung a bit slow to respond when I pushed the buttons. This responds right away. Could have been the machine, could have been a Samsung thing. Don’t know. Either way, I like this thing. The top third rack was a new feature for us and we really like it - for jar lids, larger utensils and silverware. Being at the top of the dishwasher, it makes it a nice quick transfer to the silverware drawer at the same height in the kitchen rather than pulling out the movable silverware container. That’s fine too and bigger than previous containers. The top is a little finicky to “slide” off but it’s a not a big deal. It’s too early to see if this thing will cause problems but so far so good.

Love the look and style of this dishwasher. Very quiet when its running. Third rack is great as well. Dishes come out very clean. Functions well. Biggest disappointment was that it began to show signs of rust on the top of the dishwasher and the protective coating is peeling off on the bottom of the dishwasher when it was only 9 months old. I mentioned it to two friends that also have KitchenAid dishwashers and one of them showed me rust on their dishwasher that was a little over a year old, and the other friend showed me the coating peeling on their KitchenAid dishwasher as well. I live alone, I am OCD clean type person and can't stand a water stain, so I ensure any and all drops of water are dried up with a towel if they splash on this dishwasher when loading it. I can guarantee this is not due to the user and it's the quality of the product which no longer exists. I can say I'm really disappointed as I do love the look and style of this dishwasher and the how it functions. Unfortunately, with it rusting in under a year, it's only the matter of time before I have to replace it. I paid a premium for quality and a product I expected to last.

This dishwasher is the best we have ever owned. We love 3 drawers. The best part is that all of our old glasses and glass lids that had water stains on them are completely spotless and look brand new! Absolutely amazing! It’s so quiet you have to stay very still near it to hear it. We replaced our old kitchenaid dishwasher that we had from 2004! It finally broke after 19 years. Was a great dishwasher also so we will definitely stay with the kitchenaid brand. Cannot beat the lifetime value for the price.
