A: Another vendor has a great breakdown of all the levels of the models, but there is an unlabeled version on the KitchenAid website, https://www.kitchenaid.com/major-appliances/dishwashers/third-rack.html (under STYLE Make it your own). Each includes the feature(s) of the lower level(s) plus the additional feature for that level. 404 = FreeFlex Third Rack 604 = Fan-Enabled ProDry System 704 = LED Interior Lighting 804 = Stainless Interior Accents
A: So I finally got in touch with someone at kitchenaid that was able to at least provide me some information. She said that the fan can run up to 8 hours after wash was completed or until the door is opened. I don’t think I have tried it for that long so I will let it hit 8 hrs and see if it turns off and report back
A: I was compare shopping the 404KPS and 604KPS. The big difference I saw was the "Pro-dry" feature on the 604KPS. We spent the $100 and got the 604KPS. My wife says the Pro-Dry is worth the money. She says it works very well. It dries much better than any dishwasher we have ever had.
Q: Does it have a food grinder for hard particles? Is the filter removable for cleaning?
A: Hi techno. This KitchenAid® Dishwasher does not have a food grinder. You are able to remove the filter for cleaning.
Q: can you remove third rack Flex Free
A: Yes, you can remove both upper racks and the middle one can be moved up and down. The very top rack has a utensil rack that can also be removed. We cook a lot, and both my husband and I love the way this machine loads. The company clearly has put a lot of thought into it.
A: Two different models of the same machine. One has a pocket handle and this model has a professional look bar handle with top controls.
Q: can I use this dishwasher if I only have cold water access?
A: The manual states the following: "The dishwasher has a water heating feature and also requires a connection to a hot water supply line."
A: Hi RPMM. The pump is protected from large objects entering it by the foreign object cup in the front and below the lower rack. The maintenance free filter system does not require any regular cleaning or maintenance. If this cup fills up with particles or objects, depress the tab in the center and pull up on the cup to remove it. Dispose of the contents and then replace the cup. To replace the cup, put into the opening and push down to lock in place. You can access the product help and demo pages for this unit by going to the following link: http://bit.ly/3eiskvp

First the positive: It is large inside, fits everything our family of four dirties in one day. It also cleans well. I usually soak dishes in some water if they'll sit around all day so any dishwasher should clean it well. Finally, it's quiet, very quiet. We've had it for two months and use it daily. My big complaint is that it doesn't have a quick wash. The 'express wash' is an hour and ten minutes. Really? And if you don't stop it right after that it goes on drying for hours. This isn't what I want. Why not a half hour cycle like my old one? It should at least be an option for those who want it. I stopped it after an hour just to see and everything was perfectly clean. Annoying. My electricity bill went up. Some efficiency standards! Things that run for longer don't save energy, they use more. Don't tell me it is more efficient, I won't believe it. One more thing - the top rack is awesome. You can actually fit a lot up there like cups and spatulas and shallow bowls.

I waited a month before writing the review. I think I have an accurate understanding of how this machine is. The bottom line is it’s a very solid efficient and super quiet dishwasher. I have never had a single cup or bowl come back dirty and my only complaint would be not understanding the bottom row on how to stack my dishes. Also not sure how important that third rack is it does have extra spray jets up there and I only use it for pot lids knives and spatulasBut as far as how it works runs and operates it’s been fantastic. I’d also like to mention it looks fantastic in the space I actually really like to handle so I can hang a dish towel on it I thought I’d be walking into it or bumping into it but that is not the case is very streamlined. Also Bestbuy did do my installation for free because of some issues w previous DW the install crew was awesome

This is the best dishwasher I have ever owned! I wish my old one would have died sooner! Dirty plates go in, sparkly clean ones (and they’re dry too!) come out. I can get 3 sauce pans, an instapot, 2 mixing bowls, soup pot, 10 dinner plates, 6 glasses and 6 mugs, a bunch of leftover containers all in one load and it cleans so well! Forget to run water over the dinner plate a few days ago? No problem for this dishwasher. I really want to just hang out at the store and tell anyone looking at dishwashers to get this one because I’m that thrilled by it. We have the 604 model with the extra drying power. The third rack is awesome and unlike other brands it can hold 12 glasses and a bunch of silverware. I put mugs with coffee marks on them or muffin in a mug with no prewash and it cleans them perfectly. It may be on the expensive end of dishwashers but it is absolutely 100% worth it!
