[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Consumer Report gave this dishwasher a low rating in "Drying." Our experience is it dries perfectly, much better than our former Bosch dishwasher where we consistently had water standing in the bottom of glasses and cups.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dishes get very clean and are dry after the cycle. Super quiet! Middle rack is hard to load - can't really stack cereal bowls in a row. The rack slopes in places, so they roll to the sides.& don't stay in place. Other than that, it was a good purchase.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a new build home in May of 2025, and it came with this dishwasher.
First and foremost, the dishwasher does what it's meant to do and washes my dishes. It does a great job overall on that front. I also like that it is quite resistant to fingerprints. It's roomy, the top slim rack is super convenient for spatulas and smaller, odd-shaped objects and I like that it closes practically on its own. haven't had to 'slam' the door shut once.
Here's why the 4 stars and not 5. 1. The buttons on the top of the door. This is nice in that you can't see them when the door is closed, but when I reach down to lift the door up to close it, it's difficult to get my hand on the hand bar without my arm hitting buttons, which then starts beeping and blinking, etc.. 2. Water pools on top of the silverware caddy, so when I pick it up to take over to my silverware drawer, water drips off of it. Annoying more than anything. 3. The beeps letting you know the cycle has finished is so quiet, I almost never hear it. Also, more annoying than anything, but no option to increase the volume. 4. It's somewhat quiet, but not super quiet by any measure.
Overall, a very good dishwasher so far, can't quite put it in the 'great' category.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the top rack. Does a nice job on cutlery. The dishwasher cleans very well. It is so quiet I can’t tell it is runningq
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When we found ourselves in need of a new dishwasher, I immediately thought of KitchenAid. We had had one 30 years ago, and I wanted another.
