Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love my new KitchenAid dishwasher is amazing! It is quiet, cleans great, dries nicely. My dishes actually shine again. There is so much room! The top tray is an added bonus.

We replaced our 20 year old dishwasher with this so we are a bit biased in rating. First off, it is VERY quiet in all cycles and our house is quiet. Second, the third racks carries lots of utensils and CHOPSTICKS (we usually put 10 pairs per wash). We cook daily and each wash the machine can clean all pots, dishes, bowls and utensils from 5 people. Now, it takes minimum 2 hours per wash so we wash during tv time and open the door once done, and everything dry in the morning. We found this method working well even without heat drying. Overall we love this machine from the experience of one month of using.

This is a well-designed dishwasher that seems to do a great job at its intended task - cleaning the dishes. I really appreciate the large silverware basket, which has different-sized slots to accommodate a variety of tableware. It is deservedly rated at 39db, with very little sound making its way through the ample insulation. Very easy to carry on a quiet conversation right next to it while it is operating. The bottom-line job of any dishwasher is to clean the dishes, and this unit has done that very well so far. I haven’t put any pots or pans with baked on gook in there yet, but I have tested it with plates that have sat for a day with spaghetti sauce and gravy remains very well dried on. Everything has come out as clean as can be. Reliability can only be judged over time, but I believe the KitchenAid brand has already earned a reputation for that. I would definitely recommend this unit.

This purchase was based solely on the need for a quite dishwasher and the 39 dBA was the feature that sealed the deal. Installation was easy and the amount of insulation was impressive. It is QUIET! I have been standing next to it and not aware it is running. Very happy with the cleaning performance and tray spacing.

I don't need a dishwasher that irons my newspaper and does my taxes; I need a dishwasher that washes and dries my dishes. This KitchenAid appears to do that quite well, though I have had it only about 1 month. The silverware basket on the bottom rack was loose when it arrived--inexplicably, it wasn't attached to anything. I secured it in place with a zip tie so it would not move around during the cycle. Others have complained that the door opening mechanism is stiff, and I agree. The racks feel lighter-weight and flimsier than my parents' Bosch dishwasher's racks. BUT: it appears to clean my dishes quite well, and dry them adequately also. And at the end of the day, that is what matters to me most.

Great dishwasher at a great price, with all the important features we needed. (Also, it was actually *available* and we were able to pick it up curbside, which is amazing considering the current supply issues with major appliances.) Best Buy was great to deal with throughout this purchase. This dishwasher is AMAZINGLY quiet - it's often impossible to tell whether it's running until you are standing right next to it. It does a great job on heavily-soiled dishes. Love the third rack (never realized how much top-rack space I was spending on all those long and awkward utensils). We appreciate that the control panel is on the FRONT (our old Maytag dishwasher had the controls on the top, and not only could you not interact with the dishwasher (or even see the lights) unless you opened the door, but the controls eventually got destroyed by water, which is why we had to get a new dishwasher). Despite having front controls, the dishwasher still looks sleek and elegant. We have just two minor complaints: (1) weirdly, the top rack of this (not cheap) dishwasher did not include any of those little curved plastic clips for securing jar lids and other smaller items. (2) The large silverware basket completely fills the only 4"-wide space on the bottom rack, which is the only place our biggish serving dishes will fit. We solved both (1) and (2) by stripping the corresponding parts from our old dishwasher (the plastic clips for the top rack, plus a much smaller silverware basket that fits easily in the front of our new dishwasher's bottom rack. (If we hadn't been able to reuse the parts from our old dishwasher, we would have purchased a smaller "universal" silverware basket online -- they aren't too expensive or hard to find.)

We love our new dishwasher. It cleans the dishes very well. It is so quiet you don't know it's running. Very easy to use.

I’m really happy with this dishwasher. Before this one, I went through two other brands that just didn’t last. Back in my old house, I had a KitchenAid and never had a single problem with it. That’s why I came back to KitchenAid again. Yes, it costs more, but honestly, it’s worth it. One thing I really like is that it doesn’t open the door at the end of the cycle. With my previous machine, that drove me crazy because my dog would run over and start licking the glasses the moment the door opened. The quality is just outstanding. Everything feels solid, it runs quietly, and I don’t have any complaints at all. KitchenAid really is a brand that stands for reliability and durability.

I love my new dishwasher. I have been using for about a month and love it, especially all the extra room (height) for the top shelf. Ver quiet compared to my last one. Using Prowah with heat dry cleans everything really well and doesn't melt or bend top shelf plastic. Delivery and installation was arranged by Best Buy (a holiday special low price) with a 4 hr window. They did not arrive until 20 minutes after the time slot (we waited at home 4 hours!). The finally called when i contacted the Geek Squad at the end of the 4 hours. Once they arrived they were great and the instal was perfect. They even helped my husband roll the old one out to the curb, which made up for the delay. My daughter needs appliances and I recommended Best Buy and Kitchen Aid to her.

We haven't had our dishwasher very long but so far, it is great....so quiet we don't even know it is running and the dishes come out clean. Love the 3rd rack!

THIS IS A GREAT DISHWASHER. QUITE AND EFFICIENT. DISHES COME OUT CLEAN AND DRY. WE HAD TO RETURN OUR LG AS IT WAS TERRIBLE AND EXCHANGED IT FOR THE KITCHEN AID SO HAPPY WE DID. THE THIRD, TOP RACK IS AN ADDED PLUS AND THE MACHINE IS STURDY AND HOLDS UP TO HEAVY PLATES.

This is a great dishwasher. My last dishwasher was a Kenmore and was over 16 years old. It was still kicking, but things were starting to go, and it was extremely loud. I was hesitant to buy a new one since it had lasted so long. I chose this model over the next with the full 3rd rack. I was worried I would miss the features like wine glass holders and adjustable parts of the racks. I do not, and am glad I didn’t spend the extra money in those features. This dishwasher cleans AND dries extremely well. It even gets old stains off my stainless steel pots. The only time things are wet is if they have a slight indent in the top, so if I angle everything to allow the water to drain off, everything comes out completely dry. I put all of my silverware, as well as larger utensils in the top rack. I pulled out the very large, non-adjustable utensil caddy (the only flaw) and use a very small utensil bin that I kept from my old dishwasher for utensils like spatulas and very small items that don’t fit well in the third rack. This also gives me more room on the bottom. The dishwasher is very quiet compared to what I had. You hear a bit of splashing and some motor noises, but they are not loud enough to disrupt conversation or interfere with audio from TVs or other devices. As sad as it sounds, I am actually excited to fill it up and turn it on!

So quiet!! Easy to use . Plenty of room. Has third shelf on top so you can put silverware or utensils or flat items.

the unit is quiet and cleans very good the full cycle is a little long but cleans very well good trade off

Extremely quiet and cleans magnificently! The Best Buy team delivered and installed perfectly.

We’ve been very pleased with this dishwasher. It’s quiet and does a great job cleaning, even on short cycles. Highly recommend it

We love this dishwasher, quietest we've ever owned, easy to use, cleans well, and seems very solidly built. As other have said, you almost can't hear it running - good that it has LEDs on front! The trays are easier to fill more efficiently than we could with our Bosch dishwasher.

Great dishwasher. The most quiet, with a great cleaning cycle. Dries dishes well. Of the the dishwasher I've had this is the best one so far

The Kitchen Aid dishwasher not only does an excellent job cleaning but is extremely quiet.

I rarely “love” an appliance, but this one gets that rating. It is amazingly quiet. I asked the installers if they could run a cycle to check for leaks before they left; they laughed and said “it IS running a cycle!” They said they have that same reaction every time they install this model. I had to put my ear next to it to confirm. Washing effectiveness is pretty universal on dishwashers, but this one also does a great job drying on even the normal cycle. 3rd rack is very handy and the easily adjustable top rack is wonderful. Recommending this to everyone.
