[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this dishwasher to replace a 25-year old one. It has many features the old one did not have, even more than we need, but we are pleased with our choice because it adds value and a nice appearance to our kitchen.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a solid dishwasher that cleans just fine and isn't particularly noisy, nothing really to complain about. I'd give it 5 stars except for the top rack for utensils which isn't designed very well. First, it's often awkward to load the utensils to where they'll stay in place once the unit starts cleaning. Too many utensils move around and don't stay put during the cleaning cycle. Second, the top rack has its loading orientation front to back instead of sideways like many other dishwashers. That means that when you pull out the top rack to load items and then slide it back in, utensils tend to slide out of place forward or back with each movement of the sliding rack. If that top rack's loading scheme were oriented sideways like the top racks of other manufacturers (Bosch is one example), the utensils would stay in place a lot better when the sliding rack is pulled out or pushed in. KitchenAid needs to redesign the top rack and orient the loading scheme sideways so utensils are loaded perpendicular to the way the rack moves.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have had the appliance for about a month and could not be happier. Very Quiet. Washes everything and getting use to the utensil rack on top.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have only run it twice and am amazed at how long it runs. I had another kitchenaid for 20 years, hence my loyalty. But I liked the racks in my previous better. I also wish I had a user manual other than what is online.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] KitchenAid told me this model was comparable to our current 25 year old dishwasher. NOT EVEN CLOSE! I'm so sorry we didn't chose a different model or a different brand.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After the install, I noticed the silverware holder was defective. The two flaps with the slots are supposed to stay up when not in use. They didn’t and fell down. Kitchen aide sent me a new one which was defective. I went back to the store where I made the original purchase. Three of the four models on display had the defective holder. I took the one good silverware holder and walked out the door with it. I left my defective silverware holder.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this KitchenAid third level utensil rack dishwasher to upgrade our current one, and this is an awesome one to upgrade to! This has 30+ total wash jets across 3 wash arms that offer targeted cleaning on every level. The utensil rack holds silverware and serving utensils. This has the ProDry system that dries from every angle with heating elements, water repellent tech, and natural ventilation. There is a ProDry Max option to get the maximum results! This also has triple filtration system that circulates clean water to wash and rinse! Then there is the ProWash Cycle, that automatically adapts wash time and water temperatures based on soil levels. This has a ton of really terrific features! This gets my dishes clean and dry with ease! Installation and set up was quick and easy, the instructions were very helpful during the process. This is a major upgrade compared to my previous one. This one has so many more features and it gets my dishes cleaner than ever. If you are looking to upgrade, or even add a dishwasher, this one would be a terrific option to look in to. I honestly don't have any negative opinions on it.
