Don't do it
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought Four Whirlpool gold appliances 4 years ago. The microwave died (now lg)have had service in the refrigerator 4 times, the range was serviced once and the oven still does not start the first time, and my dishwasher has been serviced once. The racking inside will break and the latch to close it broke. Spend a little more money and buy the Bosch or lg. If not, be sure to get the 5 year extended warrant, it will pay for itself.

Disappointed
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher is not robust the bottom panel keeps falling off. The cutlery compartment is in the door which has to be removed as you cannot load the washer with dishes and cutlery at the same time.

Do Not Buy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lasted three years. Died slowly. First, the racks rot. Then the plastic filter on the bottom started to warp, letting gunk into the pipes. This clogged the arms and drains. Eventually, the pump started to make weird noises and the water stopped being sprayed. Horrible dishwasher.

Maybe mine is just a lemon
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased based on the reviews. My dishwasher stopped working after 3 months. Best Buy will not replace, only give you Whirlpool's number to have repaired. It's 3 months old, but the only recourse is to call Whirlpool to have them service a brand new dishwasher. It is also very loud, louder than my old one, which was 15 years old. I would not recommend this dishwasher to anyone.

Piece of crap
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a dishwasher with the silverware basket in the door and not in the rack and that’s not easy to find. I read the reviews on this one and they were really good so I gave it a shot. What a piece of crap!!! I shouldn’t have to dry my dishes!!!!

Do not buy
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My dishwasher stopped washing dishes after three years... just long enough to get you outside the limited warranty. This thing should last at least ten. I definitely DO NOT recommend this model!

Best Buy's Installation is pathetic
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Go elsewhere. Their treatment of customers is not tolerable. We have to schedule to install in our building. 3 week wait - guy misses window. another 3 weeks - guy shows up late (2 hours after 6 hour window) and doesn't have the right parts. 10 days later - guy comes - doesn't have the right part, but goes and gets it - but isn't able to carry the old one away. That pickup guy misses the appt. next day there's water in the dishwasher without the tenant running it. 45 minute call. another 45 minute call. no remorse. still going.

Go with a different dishwasher!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this dishwasher back in August and wish I had chosen a different one. This dishwasher does not dry the dishes what so ever. I tried a couple of different brands of rinse aid to see if that would make any difference in the drying but it did not.

Do not buy this dishwasher
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This dishwasher doesn't dry dishes all the way, even with a rinse agent. It also has a bad smell when the door is opened, especially with dishes inside. I never had this issue with my last dishwasher, even if it sat for a few days. This one smells immediately when dishes inside. Very unhappy with this purchase!

Posted .Your dishwasher is designed to use rinse aid for good drying performance. Without rinse aid, your dishes and dishwasher interior will have excessive moisture. The Heat Dry and ProDry™ options will not perform as well without rinse aid. Rinse aid improves drying and reduces water spots and filming. Water "sheets" off dishes rather than forming water droplets that cling and leave spots. Rinse Aid can also help your dishwasher retain less moisture on the interior walls and door. As for the smell we recommend using affresh tablets at least once a month. Thank you for the review. We hope this helps.

Disgruntled
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife and I have been loyal Whirlpool shoppers for many years. However, This has changed. In February 2019 we bought 4 new Whirlpool appliances, from our local Best Buy store. Gas Range, Side by Side Refrigerator, Dishwasher, and convection Microwave. In July of 2019 the Refrigerator stopped working while we were away on vacation. Then in November 2019 the gas Range quit. Both these appliances were covered, fixed, under warranty, except for the spoiled food in our refrigerator. Then in February of 2021 the dishwasher quit. Since February of 2021, we have changed 2 Control Boards, and two wash pump motors, and now this last control board has failed. And replacement control boards are OUT OF STOCK everywhere. Whirlpool has not held up to the quality appliance it once was. You’ve been warned. Buyer beware.

Terrible Dishwasher
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best thing about this dishwasher is the look. Other than that, it is absolutely terrible. Doesn't dry dishes even with the recommended drying agent. Doesn't clean the dishes thoroughly. I've tried multiple different detergents and drying agents with no luck. I even called Whirlpool & they sent a service tech out to look at the dishwasher. The tech ran diagnostics on it and nothing got better. Absolute total waste of money. Very disappointed!!

Planned obsolescence
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Junk that simply doesn't last. It will be cheaper to replace than repair when the inevitable early-failures begin.

Awful had to get serviced after 6 months ...
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do not recommend this product it broke after 6 months. Customer service is awful. I spoke to two customer service mangers and they could not help at all. Recently purchased all new Samsung appliances and they are way more efficient my electric bill has also decreased by $15/month!
