LOVE this dishwasher!
|Posted .Our kitchen bar area is less than 10 feet from our living area, and so we wanted the quietest dishwasher we could get. We actually purchased an entire kitchen suite of KitchenAid to compliment this dishwasher, and we are extremely happy we did. This washer is EXTREMELY quiet. Without the indicator LED lights, it would be really hard to tell if it's running or not. It also cleans dishes really, really well--much better than our last dishwasher, which was a Bosch. This dishwasher has a small slide-in shelf above the two larger ones, and it is really nice for spatulas, food processor discs and other flat, hard to place items. (Here's a suggestion. Weiman Stainless Steel Wipes make cleaning the stainless a piece of cake.)

So quiet and full of features
|Posted .First let me say this dishwasher is so quiet I have to look at the status light on front to tell if it is running. I looked at many dishwashers at quite a few stores before I made this purchase. The Kitchenaid seemed to have the highest reviews and this model seemed to have the most features. It has 3 trays with the top excellent for large utensils or pot lids. The middle tray is adjustable up and down. The dishes are always super clean. After we settled on this model, we started shopping around for the best price and found Best Buy beat the next cheaper retailer by $100. The choice of Best Buy was a no brainer!

Takes some getting used to, but excellent machine
|Posted .The interior of the washing machine takes some getting used to after having a different model for the past 10 years. It cleans great, runs very quiet (can't hear it really) and the dishes come out dry when using the "heat dry" feature. Have only had the unit for 3 weeks, but so far love it.

So Quiet. Does Not Dry
Posted .We purchased this dishwasher because of the high ratings. Only had 9 days but have used about 6 times. 1. Very quiet! 2. Cleans well 3. Love the 3rd rack 4. DOES NOT DRY WELL!!!! Thinking about returning this. Not as much work to hand dry if you do it right after the cycle ends due to the heat. If you leave dishes in thinking they will dry, they won't. 5. Very nice design. Bought the slide in range (LOVE IT) to go with and was going to get the fridge (great design!) to match but need to see if the drying issue can be resolved. I called Kitchenaid and they said something about it taking a cpl of months and then the problem will go away. Not sure I want to take that chance. 6. Best Buy customer service has been excellent but it would be more helpful if they had more info regarding some of the common issues.

Beautiful and Modern.
|Posted .I was impressed with how this unit is built. The Kenmore unit we replaced had plastic housing but this unit had metal-stainless steel looking housing. It is extremely quiet! I have not washed a big load of dishes yet so I cannot comment on how it cleans but I love the look and features.

Dish Washer
|Posted .We love our dish washer. The dish washer is incredibly quiet, in fact, if it didn't have an light, when it is running, you wouldn't know it was on. It cleans well, is spacious and the runs super quiet. We are really happy with our purchase.

Supposedly the BEST dishwasher.
|Posted .It doesn't always release the soap at the correct time, resulting in a glob of detergent at the bottom of the unit. Which means, the dishes were only washed with water, no soap.

Q: QuestionDoes this dishwasher have a built in hard food disposal? I was told it did , I was just wandering because of the fact I still have to clean out the filter. Thanks:-)
Asked by Oliver.
- A:Answer I don't think it does. There is still a filter in the bottom of washer that is removable. I've only had it a week so I'm still figuring things out. I love it so far! Extremely quiet! Don't even know when its on!

Q: QuestionHi. does the bottom rack of this dishwasher slide all the way out (where it could slide onto floor--if one pulled on it too hard? OR does the bottom rack STOP at the edge of the dishwasher? THanks!
Asked by Momof3.
- A:Answer It stops. At least that works However, I've had mine for less than a week. I bought this because it has a heating element, which is very important to me. I hear about the new energy efficient dishwashers leaving your dishes damp. Well, this one leaves my dishes soaking wet, a big puddle on the inside of the door and condensation and a wet film on every side and bottom of the basin. Instructions say to used jet dry solution which I did. A tech is coming to look at it this weekend. They said that shouldn't be happening. However, I have seen many complaints online from others having the same experience. Let's hope they fix it or I'm returning it. I paid extra for that feature!

Q: QuestionHow much does best buy charge for installing a dishwasher? It is an.under counter kind.
Asked by Jannie.
- A:Answer Best Buy charges about $120 for installation in my area. KitchenAid recently had a promotion going with Best Buy, where not only was delivery free, but so was the installation. That's when I bought mine.

Q: QuestionThe handle is round stainless steel and protrudes apox 3". Is there a replacement that is more like a tapered handle. Like the ones that have been around the last 10 years. I would prefer this to match my other appliances. Thanks
Asked by ibicars.
- A:Answer If you go into the store you may be able to special order it that way. I was offered that as an option at a different store when I bought mine. I bought from best buy though because the price, warranty and installation were better. They might be able to do it as well if you go in store. FYI this is a really great dishwasher.... So quite that the light is the only way to know it is running.
