[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Amazingly quiet and cleans well. Lots of cycle choices. We've had it for over a year with no issues.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Smells and Not drying

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We purchased the matching dishwasher, fridge and stove for our kitchen remodel. We have been happy with the other appliances. However, there is a metallic smell that comes out after each cycle and the dishes are wet, even on the drying cycle. I have to make sure to open the dishwasher immediately after the cycle to get the dishes to dry. I could live with the dishes not drying, not that I think I should have too at this price point. But, the smell is terrible. My daughter drank water from a glass last night that just came out of the dishwasher and there is an after taste in your mouth.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is our 3rd purchase of a Kitchenaid dishwasher. Having recently moved into a new home there was no question as to the make of our dishwasher. The dependability, functionality, durability and the quiet operation are unsurpassed. This is the only dishwasher I would ever purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had this same dishwasher which we bought only 10 years ago. The pump and motor were on their last legs and would have to be replaced, so we shopped for a new dishwasher. This was far, far too early for replacement in my opinion.
Nonetheless we both liked this model with the third rack on top - ideal for knives - and we bought the newer model, hoping that pump and motor would last longer this time. It's quiet and cleans very well. Often we can do fine using only the "light China" mode.
This new model has a sump for debris which is easy to clean, unlike the older model. BUT my wife liked the flexibility of the bottom drawer of the OLDER model. Fortunately, we could take the bottom drawer out of the old one and put it in the new one. The silverware holder in the new one is superior to that in the old one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very quiet while running. Sometimes i need to put my ear to the door to ensure it is. Interior is plastic - top and bottom racks seem sturdy but the dishwasher wrack (top shelf) seems a little flimsy. My entire flatware set won't fit up there, but it is good overflow.
2 cons to this dishwasher: 1) Seems the dishwasher runs for hours. I've never actually timed the cycles but they seem to be about 90 minutes for a "normal" run. Even the light cycle is almost an hour.
2) The stainless steel front is a bear to keep clean!

Dishes are very clean when they come out and that is both for rinsed plates and non rinsed plates
Other than that, i would recommend this product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this dishwasher six weeks ago and are very pleased with its performance. It is so quiet that we have to stop and look and listen to see if it is running. The dishes also come out much dryer than our previous dishwasher. I highly recommend this product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dishwasher install in a new home build, only to find out that our dinner plates will not fit - we are washing by hand. Frustrating that I will need to buy new plates. Other than that the dish washer is very quiet.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
