After trying other dishwashers that were "rated higher", such as a Bosch, nothing compares to a Kitchenaid. When others leave spots, dirt, and strange odors...Kitchenaid gets the job done right everytime! I am very satisfied

This dishwasher is so quiet when in use. Very easy to operate. Buttons are extremely sensitive so you don't actually have to push them, just tap! Dishes comes out clean every time!

We are very happy with the dishwasher except for the fact that now they have a smaller water hose which means there is less water in the machine so you can't load it up like I did in our old machine even though they are the same brand. A bigger hose means the warranty is voided.

Best brand and performance after months of research. Cleans well. Only failure is a large glob of peanut butter on knife in utensil basket. Still can hear it during noisy part of wash cycle. But it holds lots of dishes. Overall we think we made a wize choise.

We love the new Kitchen Aid dishwasher. Very quite and looks and works great. Best Buy was awesome in every way to work with. We are thinking about a new oven and microwave next year and will definitely going to go yo Best Buy again

Purchased as a replacement for a Jenn Air unit. Extremely quiet and looks good. The heated dry function could be better, but as I understand it, most manufacturers have eliminated that feature altogether now, so I won't complain!

Very sleek looking dishwasher. Love that the controls are hidden. Very simple wash options. Operation is very quiet. You barely know it's on. The indicator light is very helpful The handle sticks out a little built further so remember to account for that if you have a close drawer like I do.

Love stainless steel. I purchased this dishwasher because it matches my refrigerator. This is a very quiet dishwasher. If it weren't for the light on the front you wouldn't even know it was running. I only gave it 3 stars because it's just ok. It does have a lot of cleaning features, however we are still pulling bowls out of the top with food dried on them. I probably should have listened to my husband and went with the Samsung.

After researching many dishwashers and reading even more reviews, I chose the architect II and so far it has more than met my expectations. I owned a kitchen aid dishwasher years ago and it was the best one I had ever owned until this one. It just got old and I replaced it with a samsung. It was a problem from the start. (Did not clean well, dry well, racks fell apart and smelled rotten, even after washing a load of dishes). Needless to say, I was gun shy about any dishwasher. Even though I read some negative reviews about the architect II, (and most dishwashers have them) it seemed to meet my needs. I have really put it to work during the past few months and it has performed beautifully! Dishes are clean and dry and some of my older pots and pans have cleaned up very nicely. I don't have one complaint and so far I'm very pleased with my choice.

I love the features on the dish washer. It does a great job of cleaning and I do not have streaks... My favorite feature is the dropping of the top rack. Makes washing wine glasses easy! =)

This dishwasher washes well but I think it's overpriced with limited functions. It does not dry plastic very well and does NOT have a floor protection sensor for malfunctions. We have a GE Cafe in our other house and highly recommend it!

I was surprised how quiet this unit is. There are others that are rated quieter than this unit but I am not sure how they can be. Dishes are clean so I am not sure what else you need. I installed the unit my self and it wasn't the easiest but not the hardest thing I have ever installed either. I would definitely recommend you buy the installation kit.

The dishwasher is nice and quiet and looks really good. The cleaning is not up to par by any means. Expected better cleaning on tougher stains even after trying various cleaning cycles.

Far outperforms my 7 year old GE Profile that sprung a leak and leaked water under our island for who knows how long.

We recently purchased a Kitchenaid Dishwasher from Best Buy. We had checked prices and found the lowest one at Lowe's. When we shared this with Best Buy they matched not only the price but were able to set up fast delivery and installation. We are very happy with their service. The dishwasher performs outstanding!

This is not the most affordable KitchenAid dishwasher, but it offers good quality for the price. It is whisper quiet. So quiet that my wife and I have both looked in the kitchen for someone sneaking around, but found it was the dishwasher making barely audible noises! The new dishwasher does a good job of cleaning the dishes, even my dried oatmeal from yesterday's breakfast bowl. I hope this dishwasher lasts a long time. It seems to be a good aid in the kitchen!
