KitchenAid - 24" Built-In Dishwasher with Stainless Steel Tub - Stainless Steel

We purchased the dishwasher from Bestbuy and had it delivered with no installation. We installed it and it took a while, but it's plumbing, plumbing is always a pain. The delivery was fine and they took away the old dishwasher, which was a Kitchenaid we had for 10 years. We compared the LG and Bosch to this one. The LG quality didn't seem on par to the other brands so it came down to this and the Bosch SHE53T55UC. In the end we decided on the Kitchenaid since we were familiar with the product line and had more features for this price point. In the end I think the Bosch line is good, but at a higher price point. It's a dishwasher so do you really need to spend $1000+? No, just get a good brand, decent warranty you're send. In the end we really like this dishwasher. The controls are easy to understand and it's so quiet I don't even know that it's on. I believe it runs at 44dbs and that's very quiet.

My home has a very open floor plan and the first criteria for a new dishwasher was that it must be very quiet. I reviewed dishwashers performance extensively before making my decision. The pros: - This model is very, very quiet and probably generates a very low hum if you are listening for it. - It is very sturdy. One quality I look for is the solid-ness of the doors to see if it will give a good seal. This model does as with other Kitchenaid products that I've purchased. - The utensil basket is great! There are removable covers on the sides so you can either use with cover to provide slats which help separate the utensils, or slide it open to put things like bottle tops, can tops in the basket. Or you can remove a cover to put larger - wider items that don't fit in the basket. And the basket is quite sturdy. - Adjustable rack is wonderful for putting those taller items in the top - The bottom rack tines are straight and have plenty of spacing for a variety of dish sizes. I feel I can load this dishwasher quite full. Other models I looked at have angled tines which prevent you from loading odd shaped dishes / pans. Cons: - Bottom rack only has 1 adjustable row of tines. It would be nice to have another row for adjustment.

Was going to buy a Bosch but the dishes I use that I brought to the store to try in the dishwasher didn't even fit inside any Bosch even the high end ones! Make sure to bring several dishes and glasses and mugs!! This dishwasher had great reviews and everything fits inside it very easily. It is also extremely quiet I love it!

Pros Noise: Extremely quiet. You don't hear it at all Racks: Adjustable. Accommodates larger/taller vessels. Space: Lot of space Rack Design: It is good in a sense that it does not move the objects while washing Cons: Side Vents - It has side vents. You want to make sure that the side vents are not blocked by the cabinet walls Installation - I got it installed by BB installer. He had difficulty aligning this dishwasher door, and he said it was because the walls of this dishwasher were not rigid, so it does not sit well if the cabinet walls are not completely straight. Not sure if this is right or wrong. But, What I know is that he spent a lot of time aligning the door. Washing - I tried normal, pro, and tough so far. In my opinion, tough wash gets better results. Normal and Pro is very average. And, this is for dishes that are not dirty. I usually prewash and remove any tough sticky stuff before putting it into the dishwasher. Heat/Dry - If I don't put rinse-aid, the heat/dry option does not come out good. My previous old, inexpensive Whirlpool dishwasher did a fantastic job just with air/dry. And, I find it a bit hard to pour Rinse-aid to that small hole without spilling all over. I had to use a funnel!! Also, it is difficult to see if I have filled it fully with the Rinse-aid.

Listen up KitchenAid/Whirlpool - this is the perfect dishwasher in every way except one. It's so quiet I had to open it to make sure it was running. It's spacious inside - larger than any dishwasher I've ever had, enough for plates and bowls and pots. The silverware basket is huge. But...the deal breaker is that the heated dry doesn't work well. The steam doesn't go anywhere and recondenses on the inside of the dishwasher. If it's going to be a few hours before you unload it, it starts smelling like a pond. I'm returning it all because of that. Such a shame - you'd have a real winner if you'd fix that problem and now I'm going to have to settle for something less but with a heated dry that works.

We bought a brand new Samsung dishwasher 4 yrs ago and had nothing but problems, constinatly having to hand wash dishes and clean the dishwasher itself daily. One day the motherboard gave out and was going to be $250 to replace. We decided to just buy a new dishwasher and the rep was very helpful in assisting us with selecting a dishwasher in our price. We have nothing but great things to say about our new dishwasher. It has great space, awesome setting selections, and cleans ever last dish!!!

The dishwasher is the quietest washer I ever heard, it dries plastic also

Purchased dishwasher 2 years ago and it has to be replaced. Problem with control panel. Front controls are very sensitive, you can brush by the dishwasher and it starts the dishwasher. The top rack wheels broke shortly after purchase. Bottom rack comes off tracks very easily. Dishwasher also smells. Will never buy another kitchen aid dishwasher again.
