Amana - 24" Built-In Dishwasher - Black

We had an amana dishwasher before this one for 12 yrs or more without any problems. That's why we decided to buy another amana. I installed it in about a half hr including taking the old amana out. We ran our first load last night and it washed just as good as the old amana did. I don't understand why so many people say it didn't dry very well because every dish was dry including our plastic water bottles. This doesn't have the bells and whistles like delay or how many minutes left til it's done washing but who cares. For 298 it washes as good as the so called high end ones and the stainless steel is very nice. Matches everything in our kitchen. Now the only thing I found different was the racks were smaller than the one I replaced. I don't know why whirlpool, they are the makers, made the racks this way. It's pretty frustrating when the coffee cups and soup bowls don't fit quite right but we made it work. I also replaces the bottom rack with my old one from the machine I took out. Overall though I would recommend this washer to anyone who didn't want to waist their money on a washer that has options that at least we never would ve used. The best thing too is its made in the good old USA. Fantastic!

There's 3 modes on this dishwasher, heavy, normal, and 1 hour. These 3 modes translate to 3-hour, 2-hour, or 1-hour and though it gets the job done, it's super basic and it doesn't fully translate to a better wash. It's a cheap budget-friendly dishwasher, It might be nice to get something a little more capable if you're someone who cooks and generates a lot of dishes. but for someone who just needs some plates washed to remove the crumbs and some grease, this does the job and does it pretty well. Just don't open the door before the cycle ends because it fails to recover and you usually end up cancelling the job

I cannot complain because this thing cleans so much better than my previous washer, and looks so nice and clean to boot. But. I do wish it dried better - I expect a heated dry setting to actually get hot enough to totally dry the dishes.

We just bought a manufactured home that never had a dishwasher. Best Buy Amana was the only dishwasher that would fit, under $500 it is awesome and so quiet, better than my $800 I used to have.

Doesnt dry the dishes very well. I end up taking them out after the wash to air dry them.

Quiet and efficient Best dishwasher I’ve had in 15 years

I can keep my silence no more... we have owned this unit for 1 1/2 years and I'd disgusted with it. After every wash, I have to mop out the puddles of water left on the bottom and sides. The amount of mold that collects is unbelievable, also cleaned constantly. Yes, we have the heated dry on. We even leave the door hanging open for it to air/dry out. Save yourself the frustration, don't purchase this unit!

never had a dishwasher before and im very happy I made this choice.
