Customer Ratings & Reviews

Got this at a great price; cheaper than I could find it anywhere else. I've never been disappointed with a Whirlpool product. And this dishwasher is no exception. Dishes come out sparkling clean. And you can carry on a conversation right next to it. I was looking for a machine that's quiet. And this one definitely is. A huge improvement over our old GE (lower end) model. I'm completely satisfied with every aspect of this purchase. My only slight complaint would be the functionality of the silverware basket. I'm not a big fan of the in-the-door baskets. I realize they save space in the racks. But the "slots" you use to keep individual pieces separated are a bit of a pain to use. If you're adding a lot of pieces, it can be time-consuming to have to add each piece, one at a time. And the slots aren't wide enough for some of our larger-handled pieces. You can flip it up, but I'm not sure how well that would work either. Plus, the in-the-door style means you can't add silverware and dishes at the same time. You either have to add the silverware, then pull out the bottom rack, or the other way around. So again, a bit annoying. Our old machine just had the basket in the lower rack. So you could add both dishes and silverware at the same time. Much simpler. But again, these are minor issues. I would still buy this dishwasher again, given its other outstanding attributes. Just some food for thought....

Who really wants to shop for a new dishwasher? It is one of our little luxuries in life. With so many choices out there, how do you decide? Well, for starters, if you only remember one thing, remember this - know what YOU want your dishwasher to do and shop for one that performs THOSE tasks! There are so many brands and so many features (many that I find frivolous), that you have to shop for YOUR NEEDS! For me, I was looking for Quality, Brand Reputation and Simplicity...pretty simple requirements. I shopped and compared...oh boy, did I shop and compare! For what I was looking for - WASH, DRY, SANITIZE and NYLON covered rack surfaces - this was just right for the price! I don't care about the "eco" settings or even the "1-hour wash," "Over-night wash" or delay feature (although I have used this once or twice and it is pretty nifty!) :) The only difference between this one and the "Gold" version is the stainless steel tub - mine does NOT have this. I did NOT want it due to hard water and the staining that can occur in these, not to mention I have heard rumors they will melt any plastic or tupperware type items you put in there. Oh and the buttons may be on the top, but I didn't care about this. I could not be happier with my choice and I compared MANY brands - some costing much more. My dishes are finally sparkling clean! I do use Quantum tabs, a liquid gel for pre-wash and a rinse aid. It is not totally unaudible but it is super quiet! We have a Kitchen/Family room concept (dishwasher about 10 feet from closest seating surface) and it is not a sound issue at all! Sure, you can hear it running, but it is not annoying at all. My two fish tank filters in the family room are louder - as a comparison. Honestly, my ONLY con ~ I wish it could remember my choice of wash settings - Normal + High-Temp Wash + Sani-Rinse + High Heat Dry (see, told you I didn't care about the eco settings) - when a cycle is complete but I have to push these 4 buttons every time. Oh well! No real biggie. Love it! Made the right decision - for me! Highly recommend!

I had no problems with this dishwasher other than the fact it was going into an old house and I needed some special fittings to hook up to the water supply. I suspect this would have been needed regardless of the manufacture/dishwasher. The dishwasher is quiet, holds a lot, and washes everything clean.

My wife is thrilled with the new dishwasher. It does a great job cleaning dishes and the unit is very quiet. It looks great and really upgraded the look of our kitchen. The full wash cycle does run longer than expected but I usually run it when I go to bed so it is not an issue. It does have a short cycle if you are in a hurry. I ended up installing it myself. Get the install kit. I did not need the power cord but the new hoses and clamps came in very handy. It is a great unit for the money.

Our previous dishwasher had a lot of miles on it and decided to give out. We shopped around and had picked one from Best Buy to for our new purchase. The salesperson was really friendly; knowledgeable and helpful. Once shown the choices we decided the Whirlpool was a better purchase for the price. We are pleased with this dishwasher, it is very quiet and the performance is great.

This dishwasher is simple to use and has basic functions. The utensil tray on the inside of the door is an added plus and can be moved to the lower tray instead. I was told it would be on the noisy side but this is not true at all. This unit cleans well and the price was right.

I absolutely love the design. Very spacious with top & bottom load. With a toddler, the hidden controls is & absolute plus. It is very quiet & runs smoothly.

Bought this dishwasher on an out of the box special. Was able to buy the 3 year warranty. Installed it easily myself. Looks great. Is pretty quite and gets the dishes a lot cleaner that my old machine. Has plenty of features. I feel good about this purchase.

Bought this to replace 17 year old dishwasher and we are in love with it! Works great, noise level low, had no idea just how used to the old one we had become. No issues with cleanliness of dishes, easy to load, Door does seem stiff-have to pull it open then push it down to get the bottom rack out, old one just kind of dropped down so that is taking some getting used to.

We paid about $350 (well worth that price) for this and my main thing was that it cleans dishes well, and it does that. Quieter than I am used to...rack design gives plenty of stacking options

Very easy to install. Offers many cycles. Runs quiet. Dishes come out clean.

Runs well and quietly. Dishes are clean. Use the rinse agent and no problems with drying. LOVE the ability to put larger pots/pans in bottom shelf and have no issues with them bumping into spray arm. Seems to have a lot more room than our last dishwasher. We run it everyday so it has to perform!

For the most part I love the dishwasher. The dishes are clean and the machine is quiet. I don't like the silverware rack in the door too much. There have been times I feel the silverware could be cleaner.

As above whirlpool has the silverware basket in the door which I love. Would like to have had more instructions explaining the stopping and starting and emptying would have better understood. I thought something was wrong with the dishwasher.

Much better than our old dishwasher. The dishes actually get clean! And very quiet. Only issue so far is it did not come with an owners manual!

I love love love this dishwasher. Not even a garbage disposal but this washer leaves the dishes so clean! There's so much room inside of it, its crazy! I will never wash a dirty pot again!

The dishwasher does a good job cleaning dishes. It seems to take longer that previous dishwasher. does not truly dry the dishes....they still have quite a bit of water on dishes when drying cycle is done, even when on 'HI Heat'. I thought the location of the utensil rack would be a great use of space, but it is not. Interior of dishwasher seems to have less space than previous dishwasher. I like the look of the dishwasher and where the use buttons are located. It runs very quiet.

Really nice dishwasher. Cleans well. Pretty quiet. I would buy again.

Overall, this has been a great upgrade to our 10+ year old dishwasher it replaced. Much quieter and dishes seem to be getting cleaned without any residue or leftovers.

I am very happy with the dishwasher! I am not happy with the installation deal offered! Charged me $75.00 for a 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch coupling on the hot water line. Complained to Best Buy by e-mail, but they have not addressed the rip off!
