SHH... QUIET
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher is the quietest I’ve ever owned and I’m 61. The 3rd rack is convenient and the adjustable 2nd rack makes it even better! A lot of reviews mention drying issues... you must use a good rinse/dry aid in ALL new High efficiency dishwashers! I am very happy with my purchase and Best Buy installation was outstanding.

Love my new dishwasher!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was so used to my Frigidaire dishwasher I was worried I’d have a hard time getting used to a new one. But I’ve had it about a month and it works great! It even dries my Tupperware on the top shelf! My old one always left things wet so I had to dry them off. I love the third rack for measuring spoons, knives, spatulas, etc. you can fit a lot up there. The only thing I wish it had was a little bigger utensil baskets. They are a little small and deep. I don’t put them in the little slots one by one. And I don’t get the utensil holder on the door???? We put it on the side. I can get way more dishes in this dishwasher than my old one and I believe they are the same dimensions. I just like how the racks are configured. Even without the installation package I think it is a little pricey, but it seems to be good quality.

Love the 3rd rack
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great dishwasher for the price. We found it on sale at a different store and Best Buy matched it with no problem. It is very quiet and the dishes come out so clean! I love the third rack to put wooden spoons, spatulas and extra silverware to free up space in the second rack for glasses, mugs, bowls, etc., The silverware basket is not as large as some other models, but the nice thing is it is narrow and it can be moved to three different locations depending on your preference. I normally run a 1 hour was and heated dry cycle which takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes.

Very quiet!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I will say, it’s a very quiet when it runs. Def love my top rack for large utensils. Seems to clean & heat dry as well as my prior Kitchen Aid. They recommend you use pods for better efficiency & avoid a white film but, you can use liquid dishwasher soap. Again, love the black stainless colors/appearance. Silverware rack is inside the door to save space. (You can remove it to use in the bottom rack)You can’t put heavy knives in the ends of the rack if it is on the inside door. The knives will stick up or fall out. I put them more in the center of the rack. Be careful..once and awhile a knife will get stuck upward a bit & will get caught on the lower rack when rolling it inside. Otherwise, enjoying my new appliances.

Great Dishwasher!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The unit looks nice and works flawlessly. It's pretty quiet and has lots of settings in case you want to get a deeper clean. The 3rd rack is pretty flat but its good for lids and some spatulas. The top rack is deep and recessed which is good for large cups/glasses to not hit the top of the dishwasher when pushing the rack back. The silverware pockets in the front save space elsewhere to add more plates and they come out nice and clean. The internal stainless just looks nicer than the old plastic ones we've had in the past. I would def buy this again.

Super quiet and effective
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This replaced a very dysfunctional dishwasher, so my standard of comparison is weak, but we love it. It is super quiet, and dishes come out clean. We don't use a heated dry cycle, and they seem wetter than they were in our old washer when done, but it mostly only affects the plastic items, which I think is typical. It holds a shocking number of plates for us. We have run out of clean plates more than once since we got it because it holds so many. The third rack is a nice addition too.

Could have been better
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was really looking forward to my new dishwasher. My old whirlpool gold one was about 20 years old. I decided to go with this model in stainless since I am changing all my kitchen appliances to that, and with a stainless steel tub. While it cleans well, it doesn’t dry well. There are always items that are wet and I’m forever finding food particles on the flatware. The third rack is good in theory, but since the water doesn’t evaporate in this tub, we end up with items holding water on this rack. I do like how quiet it is, but would gladly give up the quietness for the food grinder in my old dishwasher to get rid of all the random particles I find at the bottoms and on the door of the dishwasher. I really thought this would be a step up from my old model, but sadly the older model was better. I’m disappointed that the whirlpool quality went down and will have to really think twice next time about getting the same brand when I have to replace this one.

Great dishwasher, however...
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this dishwasher because mine crapped out and this matched the refrigerator I bought last year. It has so much more room than my old dishwasher and runs so quietly! The silverware holder on the door and the small third/very top rack mean that I run out of clean dishes before it’s even full and needs to be ran, which is great because I feel like I ran my old one every other day. The only reason I rated it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the heated dry could be better. My dishes are always still very wet after the dry cycle and, as far as I can tell, you can’t run the dry cycle by itself to finish the job. I usually have to leave the door open for a few hours to let the dishes air dry or dry them with a towel while putting away.

Love our new dishwasher
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We replaced our old Whirlpool Gold dishwasher that broke that we had used for 11 1/2 years. We were very surprised how this new dishwasher is very quiet. We like the feature of having a 3rd rack. We hope this dishwasher lasts as long as the previous one.

So quiet you don’t even know it’s on
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve been a fan of Whirlpool products for years (I grew up on them) and this dishwasher doesn’t disappoint!!!!! I replaced my previous Whirlpool dishwasher (which lasted nearly 10 years) with this model and it performs outstandingly - quiet noise level, third rack functionality, clean and spotless dishes are all 5 star and it looks good as well and is finger print resistant. This is an excellent buy for the money.

Quiet
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.What else does it need to do? Cleans all the dishes and is quiet. I love the 3rd rack. Perfect for the sharps. So much room. So much improvement from our past dishwasher. Happy with our purchase. Owned for almost a month. Hoping it continues doing a great job for years to come.

Looks great...sounds great!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We got this dishwasher to complete a Whirlpool appliance collection. We love it. It’s quiet and looks great. We also like that we can see the remaining cycle time at the top of the dishwasher even though the controls are concealed when its closed. Also like the third rack...it does make it hard for washing really tall glasses though. So far so good!

Super Quite
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher is excellent. Lots of room for your dishes. The top rack keeps small items from falling down to the bottom. I really like how it gets the dishes dry and it is really quite. My only complaint is that the silverware rack's holes does not allow for most of our silverware to fit down in.

Extremely quiet
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had this dishwasher for a little over a month now. I am still amazed at how quiet it is. It gets the dishes clean and looks amazing in the kitchen. The third rack is perfect for large knives and cooking utensils. I found it at Best Buy on sale and got a great deal on it.

Great dishwasher for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There are many dishwashers out there, but not all of them have these features for this price. The top rack for miscellaneous stuff is amazing, and was a definite selling point. The dishes get clean AND dry and it's so quiet I can barely hear it if I'm next to it and the whole house is silent.

Quiet & Effecient
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice replacement for us - runs extremely quietly and does a great job of cleaning the dishes. Nice top flatware rack for convenient placement of larger utensils. Multiple settings (as most have) for the type of wash you want (Quick, Soak, Normal, Sensor, etc.)

Works Great, Quiet
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Run this thing through 3 loads since I've had it installed. Very quiet, usually can't tell it's running unless I'm in the kitchen. Followed the recommended use of the cascade platinum pods and rinse aid and haven't had any problems at all with streaks. 3rd rack rocks.
