Customer Ratings & Reviews

This dishwasher works well and is quiet. BUT, if you hear a loud grinding noise there is a filter in the motor that’s a metal screen and likes to shred itself apart, which leads to clogging the spray arms. Very common problem with these dishwashers. Happened after only two years.

Cleans good,quiet.simple directions. Easy loading racks

I have always been a fan of kitchen aid appliances and this dishwasher has not disappointed. I move often and have owned several third rack dishwashers and this is the first dishwasher that I have actually used the third rack. It is very functional and does not take away from the overall space. You can barely hear it running and the dishes always come out clean and dry. Completely worth the money.

So far so good. I've had it installed now for about a month. It cleans very well and is very quiet while operating. I've only used the normal cleaning setting so far. There are times when it's operating and I'm in the same room and I question if it is running or not. The third rack is handy, but it can be a little particular about sizing without catching larger cups when trying to close the rack.

Dishwater is typical KitchenAid quality that I am use to. It's extremely quite and does an excellent job of washing the dishes. The third rack is something I was unsure about, but I think it's great! Clean up is a breeze as there is plenty of room to fit everything after dinner is made. Rack moves up and down smoothly and easily. Easy to use and understand control panel, while the light on the front tells you when the cycle is complete. Excellent purchase for the money.

When it became apparent we were going to need a new dishwasher, I began doing research and reading reviews. We decided we really wanted the extra third rack and narrowed it down to this KitchenAid and a Bosch, both of which got good ratings. We decided we liked the depth of the top rack on the KitchenAid, as well as the fact it got great reviews. We've had it about a month and so far are very pleased. The extra rack does make it easy to get items like spatulas, whisks and other long utensils clean without having using up other space. However, to make room for that extra top rack, the bottom rack seems quite a bit lower than other dishwashers we've had. So when the door is opened, the towel bar on the door nearly reaches the floor. While this is not a problem for us, if you have back problems, you might find it difficult to load/unload dishes and silverware in the bottom rack. In terms of cleaning, we've been very pleased and would definitely recommend this dishwasher.

Very quiet; cleans great and has a lot of space. Love the 3rd tray.

Very pleased with this dishwasher which replaced my 15-year-old KitchenAid dishwasher. Love the extra deep (and adjustable racks! Dries everything thoroughly so no need to wipe everything down when unloading. Very quiet too!

This dishwasher is WONDERFUL! It is so quiet, you can barely tell it is running. I have put all sorts of yucky things in and they all come out perfectly clean and shiny. My most favorite thing about this dishwasher is the third rack. It is a game-changer. There were so many times with our old dishwasher that there wasn't enough room for all of our utensils. The third rack is the perfect place for serving spoons, cutlery, and smaller bowls.

Works great, very quiet. Dishes come out clean. Lots of room.

We love this dishwasher, so glad we upgraded. We have an infant and the third rack is great for bottles and pump parts. It's so exciting that the dishes are actually dry when they are done. Also its so quiet I can't even tell it's running most of the time.

We love this dishwasher! I can not believe how many dishes we can load in this. We can finally clean up the kitchen without having to do 2 loads! I have no idea why some people say it is loud unless it isn't installed properly or something. This is a very quiet dishwasher. And if that isn't enough it cleans the dishes very well.

Replaced an older dishwasher as part of updating our kitchen appliances, and went with the Kitchenaid brand throughout. This dishwasher is excellent. The third rack is a great feature and our dishes seem to get much cleaner. One thing we noticed right away is how dry our plastic items were coming out of the dishwasher.

My kitchen is now “the sounds of silence.” Love that it is so quiet. Silverware is shinier than my old dishwasher. Most importantly the racks work for our family’s needs. (The kid insists on a separate bowl for each component of the meal, so we have a lot of bowls to wash.) Heated cycle actually dries the plastic cups used by said kid.

So far this dishwasher is great. Sturdy well built doesn’t feel flimsy. Fingerprint resistant is no joke. I think I e wiped it twice in the few months I’ve owned it! Dishes are clean. Some water on top of cups etc is still left after even the extended dry but that’s my only complaint so far.

Very quiet and cleans great. Several modes make it easy to tailor to your needs.

The only reason I give it four instead of five is that the slide rails the racks are on seem a bit flimsy, so hoping they hold up over time. That being said, the machine is ROOMY, and you can adjust the middle rack up and down a bit. Dishes come out clean and it is fairly quiet. You notice the start-up noise, but once it's been running for a bit, you forget it's on. Only had for a week, but so far so good.

Soooo Quiet!!! Never misses a spot. Three adjustable shelves is great! Removable utensil trays. Bought on close out floor model for a fantastic price!

Our old GE washer gave up and we replaced it with this KitchenAid. In a word: WOW. Three racks are amazing. The silverware rack comes out and the lid is removable as well. We love that it's on the side which allows for more configurations and flexibility in loading. Silverware can go on the top shelf (also removable tray). The middle shelf is adjustable, but we haven't yet found a need to do so. The controls are on top of the door, which is tucked a little under our counter which is great for aesthetic, but makes it less easy to see. The best part for us: SUPER quiet. Reading other reviews we had no idea how to judge dBA's, but would not go with any other. It is so quiet that we almost don't know it's on, unless you get up close next to it and listen carefully. If it was any quieter, we'd be constantly concerned that its not operating. I would not go with any other. There are several wash options of course and it does take longer, but we discovered it uses less water and less energy with longer cycles. We haven't yet experienced needing to have a load of dishes washed in an hurry, so we're fine with less water/less energy and taking longer.

So far, I absolutely love this dishwasher. The third rack is a GAME CHANGER. It is SUPER quiet when it is running a cycle and washes/dries very well.
