KitchenAid - 24" Top Control Tall Tub Built-In Dishwasher with Stainless Steel Tub - Stainless steel

We installed the KDTM354ESS in a new lake home last fall. We didn't get to use it much at the end of the season, but focused on it in April and proved to ourselves that it was cancelling in mid cycle and waking up all by itself when no one was anywhere near it...cancel and drain or some other cycle. We contacted KitchenAid and had 5 (so far) warranty repair calls with no luck. After the 5th visit, I just bought a brand new unit from BB thinking our first unit was a lemon and it was time to just put it on the curb, so to speak. I picked up the new dishwasher...same exact model...from Best Buy last Friday and installed it. There was some minor mechanical damage to the frame when I inspected it, but it was no visible externally and I didn't think it would affect performance so I installed it and tested it out. After 5 days of testing, this one is going back to Best Buy. It starts up by itself and cancels out by itself. Something is screwy. It passes all of the diagnostic tests, but doesn't work in real life. I don't know what's wrong with this model, but I won't buy a third one. We will move to some other brand. Too bad since we have other KitchenAid dishwashers and have had good luck with them.

as in other posts, i bought all Kitchen Aide appliances, great designs / accents, easy to use, sharp looking appliances

If you're looking for a quality built, highly efficient dishwasher, the KDTM354ESS is an excellent choice. The price is very reasonable, it's easy to load, and I love the way it looks. I have a Bosch 800 (which is also wonderful) and I've found the KitchenAid to be every bit as good. This one does not have a third rack like the Bosch, but, while it's a nice feature, I just don't use it that much and it's not worth the extra $300 or so. The quality, the looks, and the price differential make the KitchenAid the one to buy.

I replaced a 20 year old dishwasher, so I assumed this one would blow my mind with how it cleaned and dried my dishes. It's definitely an improvement, but I guess it's not as magical an experience as I was expecting. I'd still buy it again, even though rainbows don't shoot out of the door and my plastic containers don't dry. Call me when the magical unicorn edition comes out!

I bought this to replace a Whirlpool that broke down after 2 years and it is working much better than the previous one!

As all the reviews indicated, the KitchenAid is a great dishwasher, and oh so quiet!

Particularly love how smooth the racks slide and how quiet this machine is

So far so good! Love the matching look with other appliances.
