KitchenAid built-in dishwasher: Enjoy easy adjustments with plenty of options, including the ProScrub option, which targets stubborn messes with 40 spray jets to eliminate the need for soaking. The sound reduction system keeps operational noise low.

Wish I could have seen it in person first...

Verified Purchase:Yes
My requirements for a new dishwasher were:
Made in U.S.A.
QUIET
Black with front controls
3rd rack
Adjustable tines & racks
This dishwasher has all of the above.
- It is made in the U.S.A. and quiet, dreamily quiet! I can be standing next to it or in the basement under it and it is hardly noticeable. My husband cannot hear it at all and has to look at the lights to see if it is running. So happy!
-It is black with front controls. The blue and white lights from the controls are so bright you do not need a nightlight or at our house, the overhead light. The controls are very sensitive and we have had a few times of cycles getting changed or ended early if even the cat bumps them, let alone if I lose my balance and nudge it.
-It has a 3rd rack. I am frustrated by it. First and foremost I explained to the associate that I did not want it to be straight across so I could fit larger lids and odd shaped flatware. This one is all the same level, lids to cups and mugs sometimes fit, sometimes not depending on how deep they are. The meat fork, pie server, and slotted serving spoons of our silverware set do not fit properly. I can put them face down but then they get water spots or don't get clean.
-The middle rack is adjustable, which is great since if it is in the up position and you have glasses or plates more than 6" tall, think 16oz travel mug or iced tea glasses, they hit the top rack and fall over or into each other and prevent the closing of the door. This creates the next problem that if the middle rack is lowered my 10 1/2" do not fit well on the bottom rack.
-Adjustable tines are laughable. Only the row of tines toward the back of the dishwasher on the bottom rack adjust. The middle rack has a plastic flip shelf that can be used to hold stems on glassware. There are only 4 slots and they are very close together. Challenging to use. The top rack has nothing adjustable.
While technically this dishwasher met my requirements, I would not have purchased it had I been able to see it in person. We debated sending it back, and then we had 2 feet of snow, so I guess it is here to stay.
I said I would not recommend it to a friend, but it would depend on their needs and dish size. We rotate through several sets of dishes during the year and I really wanted a dishwasher that could handle them all.
