Customer Ratings & Reviews

Super quiet, gets dishes and the like shiny clean. Does not always completely dry some articles, particularly plastics with embossing or over-lapped lips. The 3rd top tray is versatile and highly useful. We think it is a great unit. Note: It was installed only 3 weeks ago. It is a crap-shoot if you get a good BestBuy 3rd party installer or not. BestBuy (GeekSquad support on the phone), was very helpful with the installation concerns that occurred

When our previous dishwasher developed an occasional minor leak, we chose to replace vs. repair. The old dishwasher was a holdover from when we purchased the house a few years ago and was never our favorite. This Kitchen Aid has the features we want - steel tub, third rack, very quite operation, and a design that matches our new Kitchen Aid range. The capacity and quite operation (almost silent) are a nice upgrade from our previous dishwasher. We are very pleased so far and expect to be for years to come.

I've had this dishwasher for almost a year and it has run with no problems. It's very quiet and does a great job cleaning. I wasn't sure I would like the third rack, but it's very helpful for plastic containers and long utensils that would take up too much room on the second rack. My brother bought a KitchenAid dishwasher a few years ago and really liked it. When I checked Consumer Reports, they were recommending other brands ahead of KitchenAid -- but their choices all seemed very small inside with the racks looking too small to accommodate my dishes easily. I hadn't expected to spend this much on a dishwasher, but I'm very happy so far.

This dishwasher is tops in just about all areas. It gets stuff CLEAN, it can hold a lot, and is very quiet. The shelves/drawers seems to move on ball bearings they move so smoothly. We are definitely loving this beauty. Only drawback is had to modify how hoses routed from old dishwasher because the cabinet for this one is larger, and so the hoses had to route lower to the ground. Definitely highly recommended,

Item does an excellent job washing dishes . Quiet and efficient.  first off it was the styling of this unit drew me to it. I wanted one with a bar handle, and this has one of the nicest looking bar handles I could find. Second were the added features, including the third rack for washing, which was a must. This one on the third rack has room for many of your small cups which is a nice added bonus to the unit. 

This dishwasher works great and is nearly silent. We still can't believe how quiet the unit is. One thing about the installation is the water inlet is the size of a garden hose and not a 3/8 fitting. I did have to go back to the hardware store and purchase an installation hose kit that included the particular 90° fitting. My cabinet is a little short for the unit and all of the insulation that surrounds the exterior. There is a perforated hump area that I had to remove per instructions and the unit slid in easily on the dishwasher plastic tray. This tray has a lip on 3 sides that if there is ever a leak, it directs the water toward the front and you would see it on the floor in front of the unit. Slightly raising the legs for the irregularity of the floor and this plastic tray may have contributed to the tight fit with that extra little portion of insulation. As far as the function of this dishwasher it is great. I had coffee cups with tea residue/ stains and this dishwasher cleaned it off! The 3rd row is the reason I purchased this unit over others. It's very practical you can put cups and glasses on the top shelf! It has 2 horizontal rotating wash tubes that really get the inside of your cups and glasses on that top shelf clean. I like the top shelf silverware tray too with individual support for knives. I am able to keep my steak knives separate from the normal silverware which will help keep them sharp. The silverware basket has removable top inserts. I found it tedious placing every handle in its own slot in the standard silverware basket and these are easily removed. Unlike many dishwashers these days, there is a heated dry along with a fan heated dry! I have no regrets and very happy with my purchase. The cleaning, functionality, layout of the tines to support the dishes, and how quiet this unit is deserves the 5 star rating.

I love how quiet this dishwasher is. I also love how roomy it is. The best part is the extra glass space on the third row. I feel like it dries much better than all my previous dishwashers.

I love this dishwasher! It's my first time having a 3rd rack and I love it! The deeper 3rd rack is awesome for small storage containers, large utensils, and measuring cups. I also love the silverware holder, as it keeps the items separate and has bonus spaces for oddly shaped or larger utensils. It's very quiet, so I don't have to wait until bedtime to run it! This dishwasher holds so much stuff!

It is so quiet! The space is so much larger and with three drawers it is amazingly organized. The dishes come out appareling shiny clean and they are dry!!! Love it! The customer service was exceptional.

This is by far the best dishwasher I have ever owned. I have never had a dishwasher that could get the dishes this clean. The cycle is long but the results are worth it. No leaks and very quiet.

I love my new kitchen aid dishwasher for so many reasons: it so quiet, cleans so efficiently, has so much adjustable spacing for large pots & pans dries spotlessly glass wear & silver wear & has special creative spigates that sanititizes everything. & I can get so much in one load that I don’t need to operate it as much. Simply Love My BESTBUY!

I love my new KitchenAid appliances. The dishwasher is solid. Its huge inside. Dishes are spotless after cycle. Its extremely quiet. Door is quality. Solid. Highly recommend. Best Buy was competitive with pricing and delivery men were careful and considerate. I will buy from Best Buy again.

Not sure when appliance makers decided to price their products sooooo expensive, but I learned a long time ago its better to pay a few hundred dollars more to get top of the line models than compromise and be sorry later. I must say that this Kitchen Aid did not disappoint! It's whisper quiet compared to our old Kenmore we were replacing, and the 3 shelves really come in handy as we can fit so much more in each load. Everything comes out spotless clean and 99% dry... so much more efficient than any other dish washer we've ever had. I would highly recommend this appliance to anyone looking for top quality dishwasher that hopefully will give us many years of service in the future.

Big fan of this dishwasher. It’s quiet and gets dishes clean. 3rd rack is nice - prefer the configuration of the less expensive kitchenaid but still very helpful. Would highly recommend.

So far the quality is good, really like the style and 3 shelves

Great dishwasher very spacious cleans very well, super quite

Love our KitchenAid dishwasher. Super quiet and does a great job washing and drying the dishes. The third rack holds all of our knives, large kitchen utensils, and lids to the coffee mugs. We originally purchased the Cafe dishwasher and returned it to purchase this one.

We've had the dishwasher for a little under a year now, and still believe this is one of the best appliance purchases we've made (we bought a house a few years ago, and have made quiet a few appliance purchases since). It's easy to operate, super quiet, and has withstood our hefty toddler trying to climb all over it while emptying the dishwasher. And we love the third rack! I didn't know we needed one, but it's one of my favorite parts. I also love that the second rack is adjustable, so when we have bigger pans to load, we can "raise the roof" to accommodate. If you're considering this, you won't regret it!

I'm happy with my decision! The 3rd rack has the best design above the competing brands. I hesitated to purchase another Whirlpool since my previous Whirlpool dishwasher only lasted 7 years. But the price was right and the 3rd rack was the final sell. It does an excellent job cleaning dishes, bowls, and all the gadgets you put in the washer. Quiet wash and a handsome design. I like it.

Very nice dishwasher, 3rd rack is very useful. Most 3rd racks are utensils only but this one accommodates glassware plus utensils. The door itself is very solid as compared to others. Adjustable 2nd rack is very useful and is used often. Cleans very well. Kitchen/living room is open area but I cannot hear dishwasher at all. Free installation with purchase was an added treat.
