With a Target Clean option, this Whirlpool WDF760SADM built-in dishwasher helps eliminate the need for soaking and scrubbing by effectively scouring off baked-on foods from your dishes. The 1-hour wash cycle lets you do a load in half the time.

Pleased with Purchase - Some Caution
on November 3, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
My last dishwasher was a lemon. Trouble from the start and continued having trouble for the few years we owned it. That being said, ANYTHING was going to be an improvement. My husband and I did not have a lot of money to spend on appliances as both our refrigerator and dishwasher died at the same time. So cost was a primary consideration. We did look at Consumer's Report and discovered that this unit had an acceptable rating. We wanted something that had the option of drying, and we wanted the control buttons on the face of the unit vs. the top of the door. We were able to preview the model in the store and noticed that the adjustable shelving operated smoothly and because the silverware rack was on the door, it allowed for more space in the bottom basket.
Having used the model for over a month, here is what I like: 1) It gets my dishes clean! I do a brief rinse of my dishes before putting them in the washer, and I do use a rinse agent, so for the most part, I haven't noticed any food residue on my dishes. When I have a lazy family member who does not rinse a dish and lets it get crusty, then there is the potential for the item to not get thoroughly cleaned. 2) It is quite 3) The interior does not get any build-up / lime scale. 4) I am able to easily adjust the top shelf, shoudl I have bulkier items to load.
Here are things that I can live with, but would like to see improved on my next purchase: 1) The cycles are long. If you eliminate the drying cycle, then the time is shortened, but overall, it can run over 3 hours for a complete "Normal" cycle. 2) As mentioned above, I still need to rinse my dishes in order to ensure they will come out clean, but I can live with that. 3) The silverware rack on the door takes some getting used to. I have learned to pull it out to load / unload. 4) The rack spacing is unusual ... it has taken me a bit to figure out how to most effectively place my dishes - I encourage people to take note of this when considering this model.
Overall, I have had to make some adjustments on how I do the dishes, but bottom line, they are clean and no cloudy glasses!

Good Buy for the Price

Verified Purchase:Yes
In researching new appliances, I discovered that most do not last more than 10 years, and the more "bells & whistles" they have, the greater potential for something to go wrong. So with this in mind, I did not want to spend a lot of money. In looking for a new refrigerator, I knew I wanted a side-by-side model, WITHOUT an ice maker / water dispenser, and stainless steel. So I looked for that model first, and then read the Consumer's Report review on this product. All seemed appropriate for my needs, so I bought it sight unseen.
The refrigerator and freezer units work great. The temperature is consistently maintained, and because it does not have the ice/water dispenser, I have more room in my freezer! Things I do not care for - but can live with - are: 1) It only comes with three shelves in the refrigerator vs. four standard. It has four slots, but only comes with three shelves (So I pirated a shelf from my old fridge and all is well). 2) The freezer racks have larger gaps between the slats on the rack/shelf - so some items don't "seat" themselves steadlily on the racks. 3) There is only one drawer in the freezer; 4) This model does not have locking wheels - so there is a potential to move the refrigerator while opening either door. However, once my fridge was filled, this issue was minimized. 5) There is not a warning signal if you inadvertently leave a door open / ajar.
Again, some minor adjustments on how I use this appliance, but for the price, I am very satisified with my purchase.

What is the depth without door?
My kitchen door frame is 29" wide. Fridge depth must be less in order for it to get into kitchen.
We have narrow entry doors as well. The technicians who installed the unit removed the fridge / freezer doors and were able to get the unit in my kitchen just fine. When they reattached the doors, all lined up perfectly.
