Customer Ratings & Reviews

My wife and I bought this after our old original unit which came with the new house was made inoperative due to a near-miss lighting strike on our home. The original was a builder's grade and I had to basically wash the dishes by hand first and use the dishwasher to "sanitize" the dishes. We decided to spend more on the replacement instead of getting another "builders grade" dishwasher so the machine would wash the dishes and not me. This was a smart decision as the KitchenAid model is fabulous. It cleans dirty dishes that I just have to do a simple water rinse in the sink first. Even if the dishes sit in the dishwasher for a few days until it is full. The 3 levels are a real nice feature and the adjustable 2nd level helps with some of our taller glasses. So far I have nothing to complain about.

This was bought as a gift for my daughter who has six members in her family. She loves it!!! The room in it is unbelievable!! The third rack/shelf is such a plus for someone with a larger family. It cleans the dishes well and they always come out dry. Excellent purchase.

Very nice love the 3rd rack and very quiet would recommend to purchase cleans very well

Outstanding performance and cleaning. Plus very quiet running. Sleek look and design.

This is absolutely the best dishwasher I've ever had. It is so quiet you must put your ear to it to hear it wash. It does a fantastic job. I certainly would recommend it to anyone. The third rack is also very handy. I put large utensils, lids and smaller objects in it.

I love my Kitchenaid dishwasher. I think its the best dishwasher I've probably ever had. Never had this brand before. Wish I would have gotten one sooner. Had nothing but problems with last two dishwashers (another brand) neither held up but a few years as well. Hopefully this Kitchenaid will last longer. It sure cleans & dries disher good. And quiet. If it does thats it only Kitchenaid from now on.

This dishwasher is quieter than our Bosch and we didn't think that was possible! The third rack is actually quite amazing and it now takes so much time to fill this bad baby up, that sometimes we run out of clean plates. It holds so much!

I was very tired of accidentally touching the control panel on my old dishwasher, which was on the front, and turning it on or off or messing up the cycle it was in at the time. This dishwasher has a recessed control panel. So much nicer. I opted for the tall tub with 3 shelves that was rated as slightly louder than the other KitchenAid Best Buy offered. I can tell the difference, but it's still very quiet. Love the third shelf, since small items like cups and glasses are what we seem to have the most of. No more partial loads just to wash glasses! Also love being able to put the big serving pieces on the top shelf. There is one thing I miss - this particular dishwasher doesn't have a count down timer. Hint, hint, KitchenAid! Also, the salesman who helped me was very knowledgeable and willing to answer the dozens of questions I had. I never felt talked down to. Thanks!

Very quiet and easy to use. Dishes are clean and storage space is very efficient. Best dish washer I have ever used.

I tried another highly rated brand and sent it back for the Kitchen Aid. It has a versatile third shelf that accommodates more than just silverware. It’s extremely quiet, loads easily and has excellent cleaning capabilities. I highly recommend.

Product design is excellent, love the 3rd rack and the ability to choose whether to use heat or air dry. May need to purchase more dishes as this unit holds everything we have with space to spare. The Best Buy installers were professional and did a great job.

We absolutely love this dishwasher. It is SO QUIET and does a great job cleaning. The 3rd rack is perfect for small glasses or bowls and long-handled utensils. Among the options are a High Temp Wash and Sani-Rinse buttons. I would buy it again.

Really happy with this so far. I got this installed in July and it's surprisingly quiet. The third shelf is really nice to have and my dishes have consistently come out clean.

It is everything we wanted in a dishwasher. Love the extra shelf, very quiet. Cleans everything very well. An excellent choice

Wow! The dishes come out so clean and the waher is so quiet while washing. The triple tray design seems to allow me to wash more items than my old one. If it holds up it will be worth every dime. It is a must buy!

Dishwasher cleans very well and is very quiet. Seems a little expensive, especially with installation and all the extra charges they added.

I would rate this 4 1/2 stars because I am disappointed that the drying cycle doesn't dry the dishes thoroughly, as well as our last Kitchen Aid. I also can't tell the level of the rinse liquid; the directions don't seem to match up. However, it is very quiet and cleans the dishes efficiently. The lights on our last Kitchen Aid were colored. These are just white for each "completed" cycle. I thought the top rack would be a bonus, but I can't see how it reaches all the items we put there. I expected more with how expensive it was. The installation went quickly and very smoothly, but he wasn't really familiar with this newer model. He was very pleasant and polite.

Very spacious machine, quiet and good-looking. Picked this model because the wait time for a Bosch was too long. So far we are pleased with how clean the dishes come out.

Overall I'm very satisfied with the quality of the wash. It's definitely an improvement over my 15 year old Whirlpool. The KitchenAid gets around 95% of everything off my dishes. If it's a pan or crock with burnt on food it obviously won't cut it, and dried on egg or milk rings in glasses can still linger if they're heavy enough, but it's a vast improvement over needing to pre-rinse everything. Even peanut butter usually disappears without a trace. It's also blissfully quiet. My wife has opened it on more than one occasion to add dishes only to realize it was already running. I wouldn't call it completely silent, but if you're having a conversation or performing other tasks, you rarely notice it at all. My old unit had a loud hum and you could hear the water jets cycling from 30 feet away in another room. The only problem is the quality of the dry cycle. It just doesn't work. I've used heated dry and extended dry and everything is still wet inside after the cycle completes. I just open the door a couple inches and let it air dry overnight, but I shouldn't need to do that. And unfortunately this appears to be an issue with many modern dishwashers. They're sealed so well for efficiency that they just don't let the water vapor out effectively. Overall I still love the unit though.

I am very satisfied with my KitchenAid front control stainless steel dishwasher. It’s quiet, efficient , and I love the third drawer. Ordering was easy and the delivery and installation were professional and on time.
