Customer Ratings & Reviews

The machine is likely a 4-star and installation cost and overall cost value are clearly each a 0-star. Thus 2-star. The machine cleans well, cycles are quite long, and machine has large effective capacity. Instructions are poor. Delivery and installation (including uninstalling old machine, taking it out and unpacking and installing the machine, "upgrading" electrical and plumbing took FORTY (40) MINUTES. For this Best Buy charged me $249.99 installation (plus an installation kit for $37.99) plus 49.99 for Haul away plus $39.99 for delivery. Then add $400 for the "upgrades" (perhaps 15 minutes work plus parts were needed--but that bill was NOT itemized). So a $649.99 machine had a total cost of $1473.45 including tax. Best Buy should be ashamed of themselves charging $290 for delivery and installation and letting the installer charge an additional $400 on top of that. They DID warn me there could be an additional cost; they said they didn't know how much. Given I paid them $250 for installation they needed to limit the rest--$400 for very little work. I estimate the parts were under $100 (from the Home Depot site). Summary: Best Buy is not a "best buy"; they were a party to the consumer paying more for installation than the cost of the machine. To add insult to injury it took Best Buy about two weeks to install--only after I was not happy about three weeks

I found this dishwasher to be very good. Its quiet and does a great job washing dishes. I love the third rack for utensils, it gives me more room on the bottom rack for big stuff.

very quiet, gets dishes nice and clean, holds a LOT of dirty dishes, love the third top rack, easy to use, has the nice delay feature, looks so nice in my kitchen

1 month in and I highly recommend. It’s very quiet operation. Lots of room for all the dishes. 3rd rack is great. Cleans great. 3 hrs for auto cycle 1 hr for quick cycle.

This dishwasher was relatively easy to install (self-installed) and works well. Please note that some 'universal' drain extensions will not, ironically, work on this model. To be upfront, you MUST use a liquid drying agent with this model or your plates will not be dry. It's very quiet when it's running and we can't hear it from an adjacent living room (open walls). The only thing we ever here is the drain cycle as we can hear the water through our sink. The dishwasher cleaned and dries as expected as long as you use a drying agent. Our model came with a door seal that was damaged in shipping or storage. We previously had a competitor model with issues and it was a nightmare to get a live person. Whirlpool... was NOT a nightmare. We called them, explained the issue, and they sent out a new seal with no fuss. It installed perfectly and we've had no issues since.

After using this dishwasher for about a month I can now give an honest review. Cleaning performance is excellent, and so far I haven't had any problems with dishes not getting dry as other reviews have stated. I don't like the top control on this model as it's hard to read and would have preferred to have the status lights on a front control. I didn't really want the 3rd top rack but found that I use it all the time. It is a quiet unit, however my previous dishwasher was a KitchenAid that I'd had for years and it was quieter than the Whirlpool. All in all this unit does a great job of getting every level of dishes clean and I would definitely recommend this model.

Although t=not rated in the quietest category it is a very quiet dishwasher. The tub is very tall tall and there is plenty of room even with the skinny third rack in the top. Because the tub is so tall the door and bottom rack are lower than older dishwashers. Cycles are a little long but i9t does a great job cleaning the dishes. The manual lacks decent information on the cycles- missing things like the temperatures it uses for each cycle and when or fif it will heat the water during some cycles.

We purchased this to replace our Bosch which had failed. It is whisper quiet! I enjoy the top (third) shelf as it allows for washing things like pizza pans and other large but flat items. I am still learning to accommodate pots and pans properly on the bottom shelf and that is my main complaint: there aren't enough ways to turn down rows of tines on the bottom shelf. Also, the full cycle is even longer than it was on the Bosch. So, only 4 stars, but generally quite happy and it was a bargain compared to other similar models.

This unit was a great purchase. It runs really quietly and cleans and dries the dishes very thoroughly. It has a quick cycle that runs in an hour. There are two drying settings on this unit, and it does a great job. You can use Gel or Tabs for the cleaning. We are very happy with this purchase.

We have went through 3 dishwashers in the last 10 years. This is the first Whirlpool brand appliance ever purchased. So far this dishwasher is the quietest and most efficient we have had. It has a 3rd row top rack for silverware that is amazing! Highly recommend even for a family of 5.

I bought a new dishwasher to replace my 11 year-old Whirlpool dishwasher. So far, this Whirlpool dishwasher performs even better than the old one did and I loved the old one. It is quiet and does a good job of cleaning. If you leave the dishes in for a while, they are completely dry. But if you open the door right after the cycle is finished, there is still some water on a few items. This is using normal dry and not the extended dry. this doesn’t really bother me all in all, I am completely satisfied with this purchase and look forward to many years of good service.

This dishwasher will have you checking it over and over to make sure it is running. It is super-duper quiet. Mine is not fully encased in the cabinet yet, but it is still whisper quiet. The dishes come out clean. They are steaming hot right after it finishes, so let them cool before grabbing them. The top rack has come in handy a few times so far. Nice bonus. You will not be disappointed with this machine if you are looking for quiet, basically silent

Cleans dishes well. The top (third) drawer is a nice place for the little things that can get lost or tossed about. The adjustable second drawer was a selling point but once we found the height we like we haven't adjusted it. Much quieter than our previous dishwasher; quiet enough to not disrupt family conversations ten feet away. It is nice to have an express option when time is short. Still cleans dishes, but perhaps they are not as dry at the end.

Ive had this for a year now and I love this dishwasher. It holds so much. My dishes come out clean and dry. Its very quiet. For a mid budget option with a stainless tub this is a great choice.

My dishwasher is great and has exceeded my expectation. First, it looks amazing in my kitchen with a stainless steel finish matching all other appliances. Next, the features are great and having a third rack aids in completing all dishes in one cycle. Also, adjustable racking allows for different size of pots, pans, plates, and other components (blender, juicer) fit which normally would need two cycles due to the overage capacity. The dishwasher isnt loud but still one can hear when using, also, most features require a long washing duration exceeding two hours with a max of 4 hrs. Overall, I rate this product 4.5 of 5 stars.

Very quiet dishwasher, does good job washing . It is difficult to see inside when placing silverware in place. It holds sufficient amount of dishes.

Very quiet with the stainless steel lining, and overall an excellent purchase. I love the design of the tub and the way I can fit so many dishes and silverware in (especially the utensil slots that space the items perfectly and the additional third drawer). Dishes come out clean if you scrub off most of the food first, and they're also dried well! My last machine was a GE that didn't do either well, so this feels like a big improvement.

Installation was pretty easy because my husband had installed our last one so he knew what he was doing. There were some unnecessary steps in the directions which was a little confusing so he just did his own thing. I have only had the dishwasher for a couple weeks so I’m still experimenting with different settings. A regular cycle takes a long time (3hrs) but I guess that is normal now. Quick wash setting (1 hr) works well but dishes don’t dry thoroughly on the regular dry cycle. I decided to try the extended dry cycle however that only works with the regular wash cycle. It adds an extra 10 minutes but did a much better job drying the dishes. There is a sensor cycle which takes 4 hours and a soak and wash cycle that is almost 8 hours but I haven’t tried them yet. I love the third rack but I’m guessing to allow for that extra room the dishwasher tub sits much lower than my old one. Racks are lower so it takes a little getting used too but not a big deal. Just a comfort thing, I love the finish, no streaks or finger prints so far. Some dishwashers I looked at had a cheap looking plastic interior This one looks good inside and out. It is very quiet running. All and all it beats washing dishes by hand and compared to some others the price was right.

Beautiful sleek design. Love that the controls are located in the top of the door. Middle rack gives you the option of adjusting the slots for larger items. The utensil holder is removable for ease of putting utensils away. This dishwasher runs so quietly I could barely tell if it was on. Also, has a tiny LED light that indicates that the dishes are clean. Not: you will need to buy an additional part to install. Best Buy offers the kit, but you can buy at a hardware store for a few dollars. Not sure why Whirlpool doesn't include this tiny connection part with the dishwasher.

Attractive and efficient dishwasher. Cleans and dry well! Long cycles but that’s the way they are now. I like the third rack and stainless steel interior. Very quiet.
