Don’t count on dishes coming out dry
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Dishes come out clean. However cycles take way(!!!!) too long, especially the drying cycles. And the part that frustrates me the most is the drying of dishes…..they still are wet after the extended dry cycle runs & so is the inside of the dishwasher. After 4hrs of the dishwasher running on just extended dry!! Not what I would expect for a $749 dishwasher. Before I read the these reviews, I thought I was being too picky. Apparently not as this sounds like a common complaint. Whirlpool you can do better than this. (the pictures show the dishes & inside of dishwasher after running the extended dry cycle 2(!!!) times. That is 8hrs of drying time)

Installers damaged it badly & installed it badly
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.**Beware** We bought this dishwasher in March. We just found out that the reason it is not drying the dishes is because it is not draining properly. On one of my many times mopping out the excess water, I just found a huge dent in the inside casing going from outside to inside (see bottom right of picture). This had to have happened upon install. The bottom water arm is bent as well so it's scraping at the casing, damaging it and it's loud when running. I tried live chatting with someone from Best Buy and they said I can call the geek squad, who I'm sure will charge me a ton of money to fix what the installers did. Very disappointed and upset.

Don’t purchase a hunk of junk
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t purchase this product. The employee convinced me to purchase this one vs one that I had researched. This has been a nightmare since day 1. The first one came damaged, they had to return it. The 2nd one came and the guy said it would not fit even though I measured and measured. Best Buy sent someone out and said it would fit so then they delivered again. Then less than 18 months later the display doesn’t work. I only use this once a month and this happened? I was also told if I buy the total tech for 2 years the warranty is extended. I am on the phone and Best Buy tells me nope that’s not true and I have to pay $99 to get this repaired. So this sales person not only sold me a crap product but also lied to me. Don’t invest in the total tech it’s useless

Doesn't dry avoid for sure ! You have been warned!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Avoid this dishwasher is you want your dishes dried. About the 4th time using this dishwasher. Let's just say the one we used previously that was 13 years older did a better job drying. Due to the reviews we decided on this whirlpool. We were on the fence with a Bosh. Big mistake getting this whirlpool. We thought hey they make kitchen aid which is a great name. But yea we were proven wrong. Terrible build for sure and certainly wouldn't recommend !

Factory Failure
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got my new dishwasher installed on Nov.9th. We were not living in our house jet. We moved in on November 15th. That day I tried to run the dishwasher for the first time and it didn’t run. I still yo this date have not used it. We called Best Buy and they schedule an appointment got the technician to come and check the dishwasher. He said it was a factory problem. I am getting a new one. Hopefully then, if it works I’ll let you know.

Silent Night (due to my Whirlpool dishwasher)
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have not have had this installed a little over a week ago. The installers were very good. The unit runs very well. The dishes are spotless. The unit is very spacious on the inside even with the extra rack on top for steak knives and look utensils. I run it with a rinse aid, as recommended. Prior to purchasing this unit I reviewed a number of online reviews and one complaint common to most of the new dishwashers is the cycle time when heat drying. These newer units do take 2.5-3 hours for a complete cycle. I only run the dishwasher once a day or every other day but if you were running multiple loads daily you would likely have to carefully look for a unit that has a faster cycle. This unit is very quiet and has an easy to remove filter at the bottom they recommend you remove and empty monthly. The true review will be in 5 years or more - hopefully it will last at least that long without any issues. Most of the appliances we have purchased run very well the first few years at least.

Horrible junk!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Horrible machine! Leaves dishes dirty, sometimes have to rerun the load 2-3 times to get food off of simple plates, not sure how this product has such high reviews. I use cascade dish washer pods and I follow the recommended instructions. Too late to return. But should have never purchased this.

Quiet, nice looking, and works great.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super quiet, well built, and plenty of space. Too utensil rack is very nice along with the middle shelf being adjustable. Easy clean out debris filter at the bottom of the unit. For self-installs, the drain hose is a bit of a pain to attach given its location and if you don’t have enough wire to wire up outside of the cabinet, it can be a bit of a pain to get the wires bent around the terminals (I had to back the screws all the way out and put them back in while laying on the floor - which isn’t impossible, just frustrating). I wish they would have just left loose wires to connect to from the dishwasher vs. screw terminals that are too closely placed to allow for easy installation in all cases. Cleans great.

Poor pocket handle design
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything is excellent except of the pocket handle design. The Steel panel is not attached to the plastic handle. The steel panel comes a bit forward from the door and there is a noticeable gap between the plastic handle and the steel panel. Over the time dust and dirt will get into that gap and the steel panel will detach from the door even more . I have to exchange my dishwasher to the bar handle model.

Whirlpool dishwasher with 3rd layer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I recently purchased a Whirlpool dishwasher with the third rack, and I couldn’t be happier with it. The extra rack is a game-changer for utensils and other small items that usually take up too much space in the lower racks. It makes loading and organizing so much easier. What I love most is how quiet it is—you can barely tell it’s running, which is perfect for an open kitchen space. It’s also very straightforward to use, with simple settings that get the job done without being overwhelming. Dishes come out sparkling clean every time, even when I don’t rinse them beforehand. Overall, it’s efficient, quiet, and thoughtfully designed. Definitely worth it!

Great dishwasher!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I spent a lot of time looking at dishwasher reviews before I finally decided on this Whirlpool model. Our old Maytag bit the dust, and we needed to get a replacement ASAP for this family of five. No one had the coveted Bosch models in stock ready to ship, and Best Buy was able to deliver this one in a couple of days (a flawless delivery!). My husband was able to install this himself (never having done this before), which got us up and running much faster than having to schedule a technician. We didn't realize how noisy the old washer was until we got this model, so much so that we weren't even sure it was running! It has a larger capacity in the main racks than the old one, and the addition of the 3rd rack is icing on the cake. The sleek finish is wonderful, and definitely upgrades the look of our kitchen. As for performance, my dishes are as clean as I would expect them to be. I've seen that people complain about the dishes not being dry, but I don't set a particularly high bar in that department of expectations. Sometimes there is a little bit of water pooled on top of flat surfaces, but less than I had with the old washer. To me this is not a big deal at all.

I love this dishwasher!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Three weeks in, I love this dishwasher. It is so quiet, my dishes are always clean at the finish, even plastic items are dry, and there's a good amount of room. Our glassware comes out sparkling clean. While I don't use the third rack very often (I can't figure out how to optimize loading it), it's been useful. I do not put my plastic lids on the 3rd rack because they wouldn't dry, but they dry fine on the 2nd rack. It does take a long time to run, but I just run it in the evening, and everything is clean and dry by morning. My only complaint is I cannot read the time as it is in the top of door. While I like having the controls there so my toddler doesn't fool with them, I cannot read the time once I shut the door. Overall, I am very happy with this dishwasher.

Happy with this purchase!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Wow...so quiet (my last GE machine was 15 yrs old) as compared to my last. Complete cycle is longer, but I'm in no rush. I don't use dryer...prefer to let air dry, yet there seems to be plenty of heat/steam when I open door. Small family, so am able to run every other day. Well designed interior. Like the hidden control panel. If you bend to peek into top, you can see how many minutes remain in cycle. It looks great in the kitchen...very modern and blends in nicely. It is plenty big enough and actually like the third rack. It makes it easier to remove the silverware and if you input it into the 4 separate areas already sorted, it makes it easier to put back in the drawers at end of cycle. Stores several weeks of dryer fluid. Cascade packet drawer is a little tricky to latch...you just have to do it real lightly.
