Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'll start with the positives. This dishwasher cleans well, is very quiet, and the unit has a well-constructed sturdy feel to it. However, at this price point more is needed to win me over. The negatives: This unit has a heating element for drying. This means nothing plastic can go in the lower rack, unless you turn off the drying option for the cycle. Shame on me for not catching this in the specs, but every other dishwasher I've seen at this price uses hot air drying. After 10 years of using a dishwasher with hot air drying (that is, not worrying about plastic down low) I'm not looking to go backwards. The drying is not great. You need to use the extra dry option to get acceptable drying. The vent in the door (the cutout in the upper-left near the handle) leaks water on the floor when you open the door to unload the dishwasher. The wash options are pretty limited, and there's no time indicator (just a light on the front). And finally, the rack layout it not practical. I thought the cup washing section of the 3rd rack would be a great option, but in reality it is a huge limiting factor. It takes away all flexibility in the use of the 3rd rack. The "flat" part of the 3rd rack (right side) is pretty small, and is usually taken up by anything plastic, like kids stuff. Likewise, the 2nd rack is very height limited underneath the cup section. Even on the right side, the 2nd rack doesn't have great clearance. My wine glasses are too tall to fit in the stem holder area. Also, a bike water bottle (standard 26 oz bottle) does not fit. And this is with the 2nd rack in it's lower position. Back to the cup section: I don't have oversized cups by any stretch, yet they barely clear the dishwasher "ceiling" (and sometimes rub the gasket when I close the rack). And the bike bottles don't fit here either. These are the things you don't really figure out until you start trying to use the dishwasher in your home with your stuff. Bottom line, the cup washer is more gimmick than useful, and really cramps the layout of the whole dishwasher. At this price point, these are too many concessions for my needs. So, the unit will be returned. This was my second choice anyway, but I needed to go with this model due to an urgent need to replace a dishwasher that died. Now, I need to go elsewhere to find my first choice of dishwasher. One final point, to end on another positive: the installation was fairly easy due to the generous amount of clearance underneath. However, the electrical connection was difficult because the junction box is JUST too high to easily get to it. Despite that, it was an easy install (and will be an easy removal, too).

excellent quality .. runs very quiet ... awesome third rack .. easy install ... Good price and fast delivery ...

I love my new Kitchen Aid Dishwasher. It is quiet and it works excellent The Service Delivery was outstanding.

So far so good! This dishwasher does a great job on dishes and is super quiet. During the first few loads, it was a bit loud but it seems to have worked itself in, as others have said.

Great purchase. It’s easy to use, operate and view the controls on top of the door. Lots of room. Extremely quiet.

Excellent dishwasher. Very quiet. Cleans great. Totally satisfied.

Works great, and is quiet as advertised. Dishes very clean!

Purchased this to replace a Bosch Dishwasher this one has much more space and is very quiet. Wife is happy now!

Does a thorough job of cleaning everything. Not great at drying though - our older model dishwasher (also made by Whirlpool) did a better job. Now I guess you need to pay more for the models with fan as well as heat. The third rack is mostly helpful, but does limit height of items in the middle rack. Having only two stemware holders in this model seems cheap of the manufacturer. It is a good dishwasher, and so far we are mostly happy with our purchase.

Cleans and sanitizes my dishes excellently! Very quiet and efficient!

This equipment has made the difference among others that I have had before, I consider that it is a good recommendation to take it as an option when choosing which one to buy.

Very well built dishwasher. It does a good job of cleaning and drying. It looks very good from and appearance standpoint.

Had this approximately 3 weeks and I love it. There is so much room to load me is quiet. The best feature is the I conspicuous led light glows blue when washing, red when drying, and white when clean, and is barely noticeable when it’s not on. The drawers felt the sturdiest of the brands we looked at including Bosch. The unit is filter maintenance free, with an easily removable strainer for the bits of food you weren’t able to catch first. Brilliant ideas.

Love my new Kitchenaid Dishwasher!!! It is so quiet and does a great job.

Great dishwasher. Easy to use and the third rack reall allows you a lot of leeway for loading the washer.

Looks great. Very quiet. Replaced older model KitchenAid. Nice improvements over the years.

It's a good quiet dishwasher and beautiful in my kitchen. What I don't like about it is most of the slots in the middle rack are too narrow for my coffee mugs so I have to put them in at an angle and then they have water in them after I run the load. Also, I find the top rack to be not very useful as I can't figure out what to put in the angled section. It is a waste of space for me.

We have used it for a couple of weeks and been very happy with. Nice and quiet, no app to pair with it

Dishwasher is quiet, cleans dishes well, and drys well. Best we have owned so far.

So far it runs great! Much quieter then my last one (GE) and bigger! I especially like the sanitize feature!
