    Reliable and Cleans Dishes Perfectly

    I’ve been very impressed with my Whirlpool dishwasher. It does an excellent job getting dishes spotless, even with tough, dried-on food. The cycles are quiet, efficient, and easy to use, which makes everyday cleanup much easier. I also like the spacious design that allows me to fit a lot of dishes in one load. Overall, it’s a reliable appliance that works great and has made kitchen cleanup much more convenient. I would definitely recommend it.

    Whirlpool Dishwasher is AMAZING!

    This Whirlpool dishwasher is it!! Smart design, tons of room, cleans very well, heated drying and quiet. Make sure you purchase heated drying, eliminates the black mold seen in all other 'efficient' models. The racks adapt to your needs; raise, lower, and plus a THIRD rack for larger utensils and such. Lot's of room! Highly recommend this model. Thank you Best Buy for helping us with all the choices.

    Stainless Steel: Quiet Perfection

    My condo has a small kitchen, space is tight and my bedroom is 25 feet away so noise is always a concern. After purchasing this in August and putting it to the test for over 60 days, I am finally ready to offer my review. Best Buy/Pacific Sales installers arrived on time, were very professional, had the installation kit with them and did an incredible job. Everything is absolutely perfect with this dishwasher except it doesn't dry some items completely. Even with the extra dry time setting, I still have to hand dry some items. I LOVE that it is Virtually quiet - the entire stainless steel tub and door is so MUCH better than plastic - it really absorbs the sound and is definitely worth the extra money! My last dishwasher kept me awake at night with all the racket - Not this one! You don't even realize it is on unless you are standing right next to it - I turn it on before I go to bed and NEVER hear a sound! Love, Love, Love it! I chose the model with recessed opening instead of a handle because it is located in a corner where I have to open cabinetry and was concerned a handle would impact the use of my cabinets. The wonderful installers were able to install it almost flush with cabinets allowing me to easily open the adjacent cabinet door and drawer and I liked the look of a recessed opening much better as well. 5 stars for quiet; great appearance; cleans dishes pretty well - occasionally I find food stuck on a fork or spoon; the exterior is easy to clean and the 3rd rack is so helpful with large cooking utensils. I gave it 4 stars just because the drying cycle could be better - otherwise I love it and my neighbors are jealous!

    Run Silent, Run Clean

    Dishwasher is extremely quiet. This dishwasher replaced an aging Kenmore model that was probably 10+ years old. At the same time we also replaced our refrigerator. We had a household debate about wether or not the brand new fridge, also a very quiet Whirlpool, was louder than the running dishwasher. We love the 3rd rack up top for large utensils like spatulas and it dries plastic items extremely well. The only moisture present after the normal cycle is small amounts that puddle in Tupperware style lid edges. Great unit for a great price. Highly recommended.

    Excellent Dishwasher – Efficient and Quiet!

    I am very happy with this dishwasher! It cleans dishes thoroughly, even removing tough stains, and leaves everything sparkling. The drying function works well, so no need to towel dry after a cycle. It runs very quietly, which is great for an open kitchen. The different wash settings are convenient, and the design is sleek and modern. Installation was easy, and so far, it has been very reliable. Definitely a great purchase—highly recommend!
