After months of debate on the right dishwasher, I’m extremely happy with our choice. We have a toddler...so lots of weird shaped plastic pieces and little hands always looking for trouble. The third rack is actually functional...it holds sippy cups, juice glasses, coffee cups, small bowls and still has space for cup tops, cooking utensils, etc. The second rack has enough space for the usual suspects even with the deeper third rack. The bottom rack easily accommodates bulky plates and food containers and the silverware is nicely spaced in the rack. It has more capacity than we’re used to as we’re running out of dishes and silverware before it’s totally full and that’s never happened before. The dishwasher is quiet, everything is clean and even the plastic comes out essentially dry (I’ve only had a few small wet spots in nooks and crannies). The pocket handle is a win with a toddler that wants to open everything and the screens in the front and top of the door are convenient for delay, times and status. The non labeled front is great in a kitchen that isn’t all KitchenAid. The only improvement I could add would be a child lock (not sure why top control dishwashers don’t utilize this feature).

This baby can really hold some dishes. It takes a couple times to find the ultimate loading configuration. The third rack is fantastic. It also is truly whisper quiet as a mouse. Of course most importantly, it will clean and dry to utmost satisfaction. The display of current wash cycle is really nice. We are extremely pleased with this unit. I did replace a still working 15 year old KitchenAide for a marvelous upgrade. Installed by myself was fairly simple. Did I mention it's quiet? You will love this dishwasher so much, that you will look at it constantly. Oh, and boy is it quiet.

Performance and sleekness was a factor in choosing this incredible dishwasher, not to mention made in the USA. Washing cycles may take longer then the old KitchenAid dishwasher of 20 years ago, but it is worth the wait. A third shelf is a great idea and will be useful. Very quiet while in running mode.

I was concerned with this purchase after reading some of the reviews. It was between the Bosch 600 and the KitchenAid, but the salesman seemed to prefer this model. I made the final pick considering total cost, and with free installation, selected KitchenAid. I was replacing a 14 year old working Bosch, but wanted everything to be stainless, after kitchen remodel is completed. The KitchenAid dishwasher holds more dishes, the racks are excellent, runs very quietly, and using express wash, with pro-dry, the dishes are both clean and dry. I did however, purchase the extended warranty.

Quiet, cleans well, love the 3rd rack. Fits lots of dishes, pots, pans, glasses, & silverware. Everything comes out nice and clean. Expensive but worth it. I’m very happy with my purchase. Love kitchen aid products. Looks great and gives great performance.
