Purchased this dishwasher because of whirlpool's reputation and I am not disappointed. The dishwasher is so quiet that I have to check it several times to make sure it's running. Has lots of room and very easy to load and use.
I needed a quick replacement for a DW from another company that was destroyed by mice (they ate the wiring harness...all of it). My local appliance store steered me to this Whirlpool unit, as the one feature I wanted was a black finish, not stainless as the current trend goes, and the fact that it was in stock.I like how the dish trays can be filled up pretty much in any orientation, allowing for various sized items. I have only used the 'Sensor' wash function, but like the fact that there is a few options.I would rather it have top mounted functions buttons, but even though this model has front mounted ones, they are very low profile and don't look cheap.I do not like the utensil tray, it feels flimsy and easily falls off the hooks. Also, when you pull out the bottom rack, you want to pull on the utensil tray, but that is one of the thigs tay will make it fall off.Overall, this is a good unit for what we needed and it's price point.
We bought this dishwasher about a month ago and installed it ourselves. Everything seems to be working well; the dishwasher is not as loud as our last one. The silverware rack being on the door is also a good feature because it adds a surprising amount of space for more dishes. There is also a rack to hold our wine glasses and I like that because we had them get cracked in the past in our old dishwasher. Our dishes don't have many spots either. There is a little bit of an odd smell coming from it but I think it is more of a 'new plastic' smell and will go away soon. It was a great buy for the value, overall and easy to install!
