The quietest KitchenAid Dishwasher provides quiet cleaning without compromising performance, so there’s no need to wait to run a wash cycle. A third level utensil rack holds silverware, serving utensils and spatulas, and an adjustable middle rack adds flexibility to fit tall items. Choose Stainless Steel with PrintShield Finish that resists smudges and fingerprints.
39 dBA
Provides the quietest cleaning available from KitchenAid Dishwashers, so there’s no need to wait to run a wash cycle while entertaining and enjoying meals, even in open concept kitchens.
ProWash Cycle
Uses sensors to measure soil levels throughout the cycle and adapts wash time and water temperature as needed for tough messes or lighter loads, because no two meals or the dishes that result are exactly the same.
PrintShield Finish
Resists smudges and fingerprints. The specialized coating for stainless steel is easy to clean with just water and a soft cloth, so you can spend more time cooking and less time cleaning up the kitchen.
Heat Dry Option
Heats both the final rinse water and the air inside the dishwasher to help dishes come out dry and ready for your next creation.
Third Level Utensil Rack
Provides additional space for long and flat items like silverware, serving utensils and spatulas.
Extended Heat Dry Option
Extends the Heat Dry Cycle time by 14 minutes for items that need extra drying time.
Durable Stainless Steel Interior
Offers the beauty and benefits of stainless steel inside the dishwasher. It resists streaks, stains and odors, while retaining heat to help improve drying.
SatinGlide Rails in Third and Middle Racks
Move smoothly for easy loading and unloading.
Express Wash Cycle
Cleans in less time, so you always have the dishes you need while prepping, cooking and entertaining.
Adjustable Middle Rack
Adds flexibility to fit tall items like a stand mixer bowl. Lower the rack to place large dishes inside or raise it to make room for platters, pitchers, blender jars and more in the rack below

- A: AnswerFirst thing I would say is that this dishwasher is very quiet. You can barely hear it running. So far we have only used the Normal cycle with the heated dry. The best I can tell the Normal Wash cycle takes about two hours and the Heated Dry possibly 30-60 minutes. I'm not sure on the length of drying time as I haven't caught it precisely yet. We are very pleased with the operation of this dishwasher and I love how quiet it is. Our old one sounded like a M60-A1 Army tank going through the neighborhood.

- A: AnswerI just purchased the stainless 39 Dba KitchenAid dishwasher. It is 24 1/2” deep, 22 5/8” if you exclude the door. The black stainless must have the same dimensions. Most regular size dishwashers are 24 1/2” deep, I believe. I hope this helps you.

So far okay
Dishwasher arrived on time and installation was completed by a Best Buy contracted 3rd party. I've only used it a couple of times so far and can confirm its super quiet. The 3rd rack is nice for larger utensils and the adjustable 2nd rack is also a nice feature. I would have given 5 stars if not for a couple of annoying things that were not explained at time of purchase. First, I've now discovered that you can NOT use the rinse cycle with the heated dry option, you have to use one of the other wash options which will make it a longer cycle to complete. Secondly, after signing up for a Best Buy Plus Membership ($49 for a year, but it did give me an extra $100 discount on the price) a free 3 month subscription to YouTube Premium was to be included. However, it was not explained that this is ONLY if you're a new subscriber to any YouTube product, which I am not, so that offer was rendered useless. I may be rambling on and nitpicking now about things that aren't totally related to the dishwasher itself, but more so Best Buy in general - it seems in the fine print this offer expires on March 2nd, 2024, which is odd because my purchase was made on March 28, 2024. Not sure why I would receive an email from Best Buy regarding this offer if it has expired. Don't be me, make sure all your questions get answered. Here's the fine print........................ (Active My Best Buy Plus™ or My Best Buy Total™ required for free trial . Offer only available to users who are not currently YouTube Premium or YouTube Music Premium subscribers; have not been YouTube Premium, YouTube Music Premium, YouTube Red or Google Play Music subscribers; and have not participated in a YouTube Premium, YouTube Music Premium, Google Play Music or YouTube Red trial before. Offer must be redeemed by March 2, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. PT. A valid form of payment is required at signup, but you will not be charged until the trial period expires. At the end of the trial period, you will be automatically charged the individual subscription price, currently $13.99/month, on a monthly recurring basis. You can cancel your trial at no charge at any time before the trial is over through the YouTube app. No refunds for a partial billing period are available. Additional terms and conditions apply)

Merry Christmas! Thanks Best Buy!!!
My wife saw this washer at Lowes in Pittsboro and this is what we wanted. Ours had stopped working days before Christmas and we were expecting guests over the holidays. As luck would have it, they were on backorder until the end of January with both Lowes and Home Depot stores within 50 miles. On Friday night, Best Buy told us they could have one delivered and installed Monday morning. They came through for us! It was delivered and installed as promised! Awesome selection! This is so quiet we weren't even sure it was running (39db). We actually had to get within about a foot before hearing it running. The 3rd rack is an awesome option and it does a superb job! Thrilled!!!

Solid, quiet, nice features
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.
