[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bottom Line - Dishwasher did not work out of the box and am very disappointed with the Kitchen Aid Customer service experience.
Purchased this dishwasher in April 2023 in preparation for our upcoming kitchen renovation. Chose Kitchen Aid based on reviews and quality reputation. Installed the unit in early August 2023. Unit did not work when I attempted to run it and threw "7-2" error code indicating a motor failure per the owner's manual. I contacted the Kitchen Aid Customer service line and was informed the "7-2" error code did not appear in their list. The customer service representative booked a service appointment to evaluate the dishwasher. This appointment was set for over a week after the problem was identified. Upon arrival, the service tech (3rd party company) determined the dishwasher was throwing a 7-2 error code requiring the motor be replaced. No further troubleshooting or repairs were conducted. The tech ordered parts and booked a follow-on appointment. The 3rd party company used by Kitchen Aid to service warranty claims does not provide appointment times until the day prior to scheduled service with no guarantee of morning, afternoon, etc...I have rescheduled this appointment (for warranty service) three times due to this scheduling policy. It will likely be greater than one month following initial contact with customer service until a warranty repair is attempted.
While the 3rd party company's scheduling policy is not a Kitchen Aid problem, this is the company contracted to conduct their warranty work and the service experience is inferior to that of Kitchen aid competitors.
Rated 2 stars as the dishwasher looks great and I have not been able to evaluate actual dishwasher performance.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had several dishwashers in my lifetime (over 65) and this is a very good dishwasher. Our last dishwasher was a Bosch which lasted 17 years and was very good also, but the Kitchen Aid has a lot more room and better spacing - also quieter than any dishwasher I have ever had. I would highly recommend it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this several weeks ago because we were tired of a noisy dishwasher in an open concept home, the kitchen being next to the great room. When we first started it we had to put our ear to it to make sure it was running, that’s how quiet it is. Also, I love the adjustable rack and the dishes are clean. Can’t go wrong!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Does a great job washing and drying. Love the third rack for cutlery. 2nd.rack is adjustable for tall items. Very quiet!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It took three tries to get a working model. The first two had the same defective flow pump. Very frustrating but the third time was the charm I guess.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this dishwasher about a month ago. It cleans great; however, most notable it is absolutely the quietest dishwasher we have ever owned. Literally, had to put our ears to the dishwasher to ensure it was running! Great purchase.
