Amana - 24" Built-In Dishwasher - Stainless steel

I received this product about 3 wks ago. Replacing a $20 old used dishwasher I had. I should have kept the old one! This dishwasher does not dry at all. Some water spots expected maybe drying the bottom of cups where water has gotten stuck and sitting. That is not the case. The entire tub/washer area is soaking wet. I am using a drying agent as directed. I've also read it can take 2 wks for the dishwasher to be "seasoned". Season is over moving on. Luckily I called best buy on my 15th day (return or exchange time limit) and I have a GE dishwasher on the way to replace this one. Its not worth the hassle, don't bother with purchasing this dishwasher.

This dishwasher is one of the cheaper models but we were looking for a basic dishwasher without all the whistles and bells. It looks good, cleans well, and it's fairly quiet. If you use the "normal" setting it takes a long time to do the job. The "1 hour" setting is faster but not as energy efficient. In either case, when the cycle is done the dishes are clean and dry but there's a lot water left in the dishwasher. It's all over the sides, the bottom, and even the utensil tray is dripping. I called the help line and was told that it was normal for it to do that. They said that in order to make the units more energy efficient that the water doesn't get as hot. We always use the rinse aid but there's still a lot of water left inside. The help line person did say that the dishwashers with the stainless steel interiors don't have that problem. I would not recommend this product.

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!

Good efficient cleaning. Just lil frustrated on the drying part.

Nice looking dishwasher with low noise, but once the cycle is completed the dishes are still wet. U get what u pay for!

This dishwasher works well and is very quiet. Buying online worked well too. Had issues with delivery. Wish the racks were bigger and silverware tray was on the door.

It washes good but doesn’t dry too well. Half the price as the high end ones so for me it’s not a big issue

The dishwasher exceeded our expectations, the installers were punctual, courteous and did a great job of setting it up and taking the old unit away. A very nice experience!
