Quiet Powerhouse 2 1/2 years in
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this KitchenAid 24" Front Control Dishwasher back in November 2022, and it’s hands down one of the best appliance decisions I’ve ever made. From day one, it has delivered exceptional cleaning performance, and after two years of daily use, it still runs like brand new, average operation 1-2 per week. The ProWash Cycle automatically adjusts to the load and has never let me down — everything from delicate glassware to pots with baked-on food comes out spotless. The 3rd rack is a game changer; it gives so much extra room for utensils and smaller items, freeing up space on the lower racks. This was a must-have for me and it has definitely lived up to the hype. What truly stands out is the quiet operation. At just 39 dBA, it’s so silent that I often have to check the indicator light to confirm it’s even running. That’s been a huge plus in an open-concept home where kitchen noise usually travels. Compared to my old GE (no shade) which we could often hear in operation from our upstairs bedroom. The PrintShield stainless steel finish still looks fantastic, resisting fingerprints and smudges far better than my old dishwasher. It still looks brand new, which is impressive after nearly two years of regular use. Overall, this dishwasher has been a perfect mix of style, reliability, and performance. If you’re on the fence. When we had the repair tech from Geek Squad come out to look at the old machine, we asked his opinion on replacement items (repair wasn't worth the cost) and Kitchen Aid and Bosch were high on his list of recommended brands. I can confidently say it’s been worth every penny.

Dishwasher rusting at 9 months old.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love the look and style of this dishwasher. Very quiet when its running. Third rack is great as well. Dishes come out very clean. Functions well. Biggest disappointment was that it began to show signs of rust on the top of the dishwasher and the protective coating is peeling off on the bottom of the dishwasher when it was only 9 months old. I mentioned it to two friends that also have KitchenAid dishwashers and one of them showed me rust on their dishwasher that was a little over a year old, and the other friend showed me the coating peeling on their KitchenAid dishwasher as well. I live alone, I am OCD clean type person and can't stand a water stain, so I ensure any and all drops of water are dried up with a towel if they splash on this dishwasher when loading it. I can guarantee this is not due to the user and it's the quality of the product which no longer exists. I can say I'm really disappointed as I do love the look and style of this dishwasher and the how it functions. Unfortunately, with it rusting in under a year, it's only the matter of time before I have to replace it. I paid a premium for quality and a product I expected to last.

Good, but baskets/pull outs sit low.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good. I’ve had this dishwasher for about a month now. It is super quiet. Cleans well. Looks good. Dishes don’t get completely dry even on the extended dry. For some reason, I feel like the slide out drawers/baskets sit a little low. I can see how this would be an issue for an elderly person or someone with back issues. On the other hand it might be good for a wheelchair bound person.

Great value appliance, reliable and works great.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Still works great in 2025 since I bought it 3 years ago. Looks great, is quiet, cleans well, is ergonomic, does a great job of cleaning reliably without leaving stuff behind or scratching my dishes. Hasn’t broken down or had any issues. Will definitely get another KitchenAid.

Exactly what I was looking for!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had this dishwasher for about a month now. It’s incredibly quiet and does a beautiful job with my dishes! They come out so dry (my other dishwasher left most of my dishes so soaking wet each time). The top third rack is super cool, you can’t fit too much up there but I do love it. I also love that you can move the second tier up and down to fit your needs! It’s exactly what I was looking for!

Best dishwasher we’ve ever had!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher is the best we have ever owned. We love 3 drawers. The best part is that all of our old glasses and glass lids that had water stains on them are completely spotless and look brand new! Absolutely amazing! It’s so quiet you have to stay very still near it to hear it. We replaced our old kitchenaid dishwasher that we had from 2004! It finally broke after 19 years. Was a great dishwasher also so we will definitely stay with the kitchenaid brand. Cannot beat the lifetime value for the price.

SO QUIET!!!!!!!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We replaced our 20+ year old dishwasher with this and it’s night and day. It’s in order of magnitude quieter! The third tray is a revelation. The door feels very premium when opening and closing, and the trays feel smooth when pulling them in and out. It dries quite well, and I’m having no issue with it drying the third tray when one does the extended dry option. I’m loving the multiple delay options so it can just do its thing overnight. It’s super easy to use, and I couldn’t be happier with this purchase.

Excellent dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher is great. It is very quiet and easy to use. I love the 3rd top rack. Nice feature. This piece completes the set. Now I have matching appliances. Another thing I like is the fact that I can start the dishwasher right after dinner and it won't interfere with the television. We love the top mounted controls. Gives you lots of options even for baked on foods.

Overall Great Dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This KitchenAid dishwasher is mostly wonderful, with just one change I'd make in the design. The uppermost rack is not as useful as it could be. If there was one more indented area that would accommodate large items such as spatulas and cooking spoons, it would be an improvement. There is only room for about two large utensils on the upper rack, but there are lots of slots for additional silverware, which I mostly don't use. The machine is very quiet, does a great job of cleaning, even on Express Wash and Heat Dry. As a two-person family, we only run it every couple of days, so it's also economical. I would recommend this KitchenAid model.

Works like a charm
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We've had it for a couple weeks now and so far so good! Lots of space inside. It cleans well and is incredibly quiet. I sometimes have to touch the door with my hand to make sure it's working because it's so quiet! Installation with the best buy tech was very good too. The technician was quick and efficient. My only complaints are that the dishwasher door is a bit low to the ground and the buttons are touchy. I am average height and need to bend quite a bit to pull the door up or flat down. Not a deal breaker though.

It’s so quiet, and cleans much better than our previous unit. And the extra rack provides more room, and is so convenient. My wife loves the PrintShield fingerprint proof stainless steel, easy to keep sparkling!

Silent yet effective! Quality!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought a set of Kitchen Aid appliances on black friday 2022 and this unit was the biggest reason. 39 DBA! Just a number, but wow is it silent. We were recently doing a full kitchen renovation and I asked the contractor to turn it on to test it just in case. He stated it was already running, blew my mind! Glasses come out like new, and overall just been super happy with it.

Nice dishwasher!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher is very quiet and it cleans really good. The finish is beautiful and very easy to clean. The only con is the kick plate. It does not fit across the whole bottom of the unit. I see the sides and dust can collect under the unit. An easy fix would be to supply a longer piece. The kick plate be cut to fit since it’s plastic.

KitchenAid Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We replaced a Whirlpool Dishwasher during an kitchen renovation. The new KitchenAid Top Control Built in is performing as advertised. Not only is it an upgrade to our new kitchen, it is very quiet, cleans and dries well and is stylish. We're happy with the purchase, time will tell the full story. I expect we'll have this for a long time.

Dirt’s Worst Employee of the Month
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher has been the perfect upgrade from my previous model. The construction feels very sturdy and well engineered, and the overall build quality stands out right away. It operates so quietly that there are moments when it is easy to forget the dishes are even being washed. Plus all Stainless Steel inside - Not Plastic! Highly Recommend!
