Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have a 26 yr old home and all appliances are less than 5 yrs old after replacement buy my Maytag dishwasher was going strong after all these years. I finally replaced it after my research for a couple years showed a preferred DW was on a great sale. So I bought this and I couldn't be more happy. It is so damned quiet you can barely hear is standing next to it. It drys everything including plastics and the 3rd rack so so deep it is amazing. I totally recommend this DW. It is beautiful and works flawlessly.

Love this dishwasher. Cleans very well. I collect handmade pottery so all are different sizes and it fits everything very well. The third rack is actually functional and I use it all the time. Second rack holds everything great and didn't break any glasses while washing. (Last LG did.) Quiet. Ditched the silverware sorter, who has time for that. Cleans silverware well. Yes, it is pricey but it works great.

I was always so frustrated that my dishes never seemed clean. I changed detergents many times trying to find something that really worked. "Luckily", my 3 yr old dishwasher went out. I did my research and explored options. My husband and I own a plumbing company and install a lot of "higher" end brands, which i will not name. My husband leaned that way just becuz so many nicer high class homes bought the brand. I questioned sales people....read reviews....compared features...and went with Kitchen Aid. So glad I voiced MY opinion. My dishes have NEVER been so clean (even without pre-cleaning)! I love the stainless steele tub and esp the 3rd rack! The racks on other brands seem very generic but this one is great! Its also very quiet! Never been this happy with a dishwasher!

-1 star cause installer said wouldn’t fit and had to return. Otherwise awesome Had to return cause installer said there was no way it would fit under my cabinet/countertop. I didn’t want to take the chance, so I cancelled the order. Went to a competitors store and they didn’t think it would be a problem. The second store was right. Fit just fine with no trouble at all. Yes, I made sure it was the same model number, and it is the one with the new improved 3rd rack design. Dishwasher itself is super quiet and gets dishes clean. Replaced a 9yr old GE Profile that was loud and left food debris on dishes all the time. 3rd rack is very useable. Adjustable 2nd rack is nice. Most the time you can barely tell it’s running unless you’re standing next to it, and even then I sometimes have to look. We really love it, just too bad we had to go somewhere else to finally get it.

Our last dishwasher was 20+ years old so this is a big step up for us. Very quiet and does an excellent job cleaning the dishes which were the two most important features. We like the racking which seemed more robust compared to the Bosch models we were also considering. Wasn't sure I'd like the controls on top of the door, but being taller it's great. Only thing I'd say negative is the wash cycle for ProWash/ProDry is long. We have a household of 2 most of the year and 3 in the summer months so not a deal breaker.

Unit is whisper quiet, holds twice as much as our previous unit. Dishes come out really clean. top rack accomodates trays well. Sleek control design. Performs above and beyond expectation. Love the utensil holder.

We bought this dishwasher to replace a 26 year old KitchenAid that was still working, but definitely showed signs of age. We were torn between buying one of the many highly rated Bosch models but ultimately chose this KitchenAid. It has a third rack on top which really does come in handy for many smaller items. We like the adjustability of the middle rack and the layout of the bottom rack, with one exception: placement of the silverware caddy. It sits along the right side of the bottom rack. So tossing in a last minute knife or fork is not as convenient as when the caddy sat across the front. Also, if you have taller flatware, knives for example, because they may lean to the right, they often hit the side of the dishwasher wall when trying to slide the rack back into place. Not a major deal breaker but annoying. We use the Express Wash cycle for all loads [1 hr 10 min] and find it does clean our dishes well. It is very quiet, especially when compared to our 26 year old model! We've only had this dishwasher for two months, so thankfully we haven't needed customer service. All in all, there are no regrets in choosing this unit!

I am really happy with this dishwasher. I’ve had kitchenaid quiet dishwashers for a very long time, but this is definitely the quietest. It cleans everything perfectly with no pod smell left afterwards. I did have to move the middle rack down a notch to hold taller things on it, and unlike earlier versions where one side of a rack can be higher than the other, both sides now have to be on the same level notch. I really like the 3 racks for extra room. The only part I’m not thrilled with is the top rack right side, which really can’t hold anything but skinny regular or cooking utensils, which I’d normally put other places in the dishwasher anyway. I love the drying too - does a great job! Naturally plastic bowls sometimes aren’t completely dry, but it’s better than dishwashers I’ve had before.

The KitchenAid Top Control Built-In Dishwasher is a standout appliance that combines sleek design with powerful functionality. Its top control panel offers a clean look while providing easy access to various wash cycles and options. With excellent cleaning performance, adjustable racks for versatile loading, and quiet operation, it's a reliable choice for any kitchen. However, i wish the the drying performance was a little more efficient compared to the Ge i had. Overall, it's a dependable dishwasher that efficiently handles daily loads with style and effectiveness.

Very quiet, lots of room. Love the third rack. Does a excellent job and very nice looking.

We've had several dish washers over the years and this KitchenAid is, by far, the very best we've owned! Its incredibly quiet (it was delivered with insulation to dampen noise) to the point that we check it to make sure it is stll running! The dishes come out sparkling clean (and so smooth!) The third rack is wonderful for spatulas, meat forks, small dipping dishes, etc. We highly recommend this washer and would buy it again in a heartbeat.

My dishwasher leaked and needed to be replaced. I immediately started looking for a replacement and did hours of research. Ended up going with this one. Best Buy price matched which was helpful. The dishwasher is a dream! Amazing performance. It is super quiet. Love the third rack on this. It is so much more than just a drawer. It is a true additional rack. The finger print resistant finish is great. The machine dries anything you throw at it. We are very happy with our purchase and will consider kitchen aid for future appliance needs as well. And it is made in America!

Our dishes are clean! We upgraded from a dishwasher where we had to hand wash and put through a cycle and they still came out gritty and greasy. Now that we have this Kitchenaid we spend half the time prepping dishes. They go through one cycle and come out spotless. It’s super quiet and you can hardly hear it running. I love the countdown feature on the top lip and on the front that indicate how much time is left. You can walk by anytime and know just what’s remaining. We never thought we’d use 3 racks, but we’ve used it almost every day since. And when we don’t, it comes out really easy if we have a bunch of tall items to wash. Our two sons have also realized it they take out the top rack, one of them can load it up while the other loads the main racks. Then they just put it back in when time to wash. We are very satisfied.

This is by far the best dishwasher I have ever had! It does a fantastic job cleaning dirty dishes. I have not pulled out a dirty dish yet and I have owned this dishwasher for almost 2 months (keep in mind I do not prewash my dishes before loading them). Another great feature of this dishwasher is it is very quiet. I love the fact when it is done, the front says clean sanitize. I am still adjusting to the 3rd (top) rack. Of all the 3rd Rack Dishwashers available I like the layout of this one the best. A slight disadvantage of the 3rd rack is that it eliminates space on the other two racks. The second rack does not adjust as high and there are limits on taller items fitting on the bottom due to this.

The best dishwasher ever!!! It’s easy to use, gets everything super clean, easy to load and fit awkward items in, extra quiet. Forget taking my washer dryer with me when I move, I’m taking the dishwasher!!

Replaced a 15 year old high end dishwasher (other brand) that I never liked from day 1. It went out again and we decided to get a new one. Did some research and this Kitchenaid model rated high. I installed it myself - the instructions were very well written and easy to follow. We tried out the power wash setting first with some pots and coffee travel mugs that had caked on coffee that never came clean. They came out almost like new. The top third rack is the largest I’ve seen and you can put actual glasses and small bowls there rather than just flatware. It’s quiet as a church mouse too. Love the controls being located on top. Clean look. My wife is so happy she named it (like people do their cars). Could not be happier and it was a great price for what you get. Highly recommend.

I initially purchased a different brand dishwasher that had a manufacturing fault and had to be replaced. It turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I'm pleased with the appearance, design, quiet run cycles and performance of my new KitchenAid

Installation and setup was easy. We have washed 5 to 8 loads of dishes so far. It seems to clean just as well as our 29 year old Kenmore that still worked but had started making a squealing noise, although it doesn’t dry quite as well as our old one. This new KitchenAid is so incredibly quiet. Also the display lets you know how much time is left in the cycle, and that the dishes are clean when it is done. It does not have a food chopper that we are used to, so sometimes has a little odor even though the filter is clean. Overall, we are very happy with the KitchenAid, and just hope that it serves us as well as our old washer did.

Very quiet, you do not even know it is running. I like the controls on top, so you do not have to bend over to see them (if they were on the front) Amazing performance, Glasses, dishes come out the cleanest I have ever seen. Maybe it's the Quantum soap I now use, but wow, everything is supper clean and sanitized. Draw backs, The normal cycle runs for 3 hours. When the clean light comes on, I can still hear the fan running forever after the wash cycle is supposed to be over. Biggest drawback: It did not come with a MANUAL. Nothing online to explain how to use it or if the the fan running is normal. I am really just up in the air about any of the features or just how to use the dishwasher in general. Big disconnect from the manufacture. Why would they not give you a manual? This is a pricey dishwasher. I love the dishwasher, but using it is trial and error and trying to guess what some of the buttons are for and guessing running times and guessing about everything. Come on KitchenAid, get your act together - give me a Manual.

Purchased after having great success with our Kitchen Aid refrigerator. So pleased! It’s quiet. Has multiple wash options. Sleek design. 3 racks. And it cleans better than I expected. Definitely recommended. And Best Buy install was a breeze, even in our 1955 kitchen.
