Big disappointment
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely disappointed. Less than a month old and already doing what the one I replaced it with was doing. Stopping mid cycle for no reason. Will not work on delayed setting. I’m call a repairman, but am not optimistic.

Kitchen Aid dishwasher
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works like every dish washer should. I have been testing it by adding dishes without pre-wash and every item has come out sparkling clean. This probably my 10th dishwasher and I have never had one that performed like this.

Drain pump broke after seven months
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve had this dishwasher for eight months. We started having problems with it at seven months. It started playing a song at the end of the cycle and water would remain in the bottom of the dishwasher. We also started noticing a burning smell. We’ve had a technician out twice and the one today says we need a new drain pump- however, it’s not in stock! No one can say for sure when it might arrive and be able to be installed but it’s a huge inconvenience to not have a functioning dishwasher for weeks and now for who knows one. This experience has definitely made us decide against buying a Kitchen Aid refrigerator we were days away from purchasing. It’s unacceptable for a seven month old appliance to need a drain pump.

Would be a great product if it worked
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just bought it, ran through 2 cycles, won’t stop flashing the clean light. Power cycle it for 3 minutes, start a cycle, runs for 30 seconds, trips to clean shuts down. Absolute junk. After the LG ELITE I spent $1200 on that wouldn’t dry, then this mess I think I’m finally done with dishwashers.

Quit after one month
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Motor burned out after one month of usage. KitchenAid (Whirlpool) has no idea when they can replace the motor. Don't bother with Geek Squad protection either. It is as worthless as this dishwasher

Awesome performance and cleaning - vs Bosch 500
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love everything about the dishwasher. Great options on cleaning. No need for wi-fi to get all of your cleaning options. Plenty of room and very large silverware basket. The very top drawer folds very small height bowls. 2nd middle drawer holds very tall drinking cups. Plenty of height for large dishes in the bottom drawer. I never do pots in my dishwasher, so not sure if it’s workable for those that do. The reason I’m doing this review is so others know that I did buy the 5 yr warranty (I always do) and after 4.5 years it errored out and the technician couldn’t fix meaning a replacement for me so I chose a Bosch at the recommendation of the tech and my husband. My thoughts on the Bosch - 500 Series 24" Top Control Smart Built-In I got is MEH. The racking system is meant for doing pots in the bottom so upper shelves are jacked up with less space and no adjustment available. I did notice the silver basket was very small so I kept the very large kitchen Aid one which fits thank goodness. It did take quite a few try’s to connect the WiFi which gives you the other options. I’m puzzled on the bottom light because it did show red while operating but when I looked in the morning it was not showing green for completed so no idea if it completed but the dishes appeared to be clean, rinsed and pretty dry. Overall I’d choose this KitchenAid again

Big Problem
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The installers were unable to install the dishwasher due to a pipe protruding from the back wall. The people that came by on Wednesday did not remove the old dishwasher and therefore did NOT see the pipe. Also the plug could NOT be plugged in due to the presence of the electrical unit that operated the garbage disposal. The Wednesday crew also did NOT see this problem. I am NOT a happy customer. I Now have to hire a plumber and electrician to solve these problems. this work could have been done prior to the delivery of the new dishwasher.

DO NOT BUY THIS DISHWASHER
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE OF JUNK. I bought this $1,100 dishwasher in September. Within six weeks it started making strange noises during operation. In November the Kitchen Aid repairperson told me that my brand-new dishwasher needed a new motor. It is now December, the dishwasher is “mooing” like a cow, the new motor is on backorder, and I am hoping my dishwasher doesn’t break. Very unhappy with this dishwasher and very unhappy with Kitchen Aid. I will never buy a Kitchen Aid, or a related brand, ever again. I strongly suggest that you don’t buy one either.

Not working properly
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this dishwasher and had it installed in my Florida home. However, I only attempted to use it after 10 months, and I'm very disappointed with its performance. It's not cleaning the dishes effectively, and more importantly, it's failing to dry them properly.

Inoperative after one wash
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m so let down by this product. I purchased all Kitchen Aid appliances and I love the look and features of Kitchen Aid except this dishwasher broke down after one wash. I counted the flashes and I get 8. The dishwasher was installed by me as Best Buy is not offering installation at this time. I followed step by step instructions and I’m very patient and meticulous with the setup. I verified all the troubleshooting information from the manual and on the internet. Still does not function. Keeps beeping and flashing white lights. Hopefully I get a replacement or repair soon and hopefully Best Buy will come and pick up their defective product.

Machine leaks, be careful!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awful product and Customer Service even worse!! Have had one change of machine and both a disaster with leaks and damages. Hoping the 3rd machine will do its job; not what is expected from a premium brand like KitchenAid and more so from Best Buy where they have not shown much empathy in this situation!!

Buyer BEWARE
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Complete JUNK. The MOTOR in this dishwasher broke after just 6 months. After hours and hours spent on hold with KitchenAid, I was told that no replacement motors are available to order “because of COVID”. Worst quality of an appliance I have ever purchased and absolute WORST customer service of all time. Because I financed the purchase, I am still paying for a dishwasher that looks great in my kitchen but is completely worthless.

Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Installed on a Friday and went to use it Saturday and it wouldn't work right. What's worse I now have to wait three weeks for another one after waiting five weeks for this one. Next time I'm spending a little extra and buying from one of them local appliance stores where they actually care about the customer and the service is better.
