Whirlpool 24" Tall Tub Built-In Dishwasher: Dishwashing has never been so easy with this high-performance Whirlpool dishwasher. With room for up to 14 place settings, this dishwasher comes with an adjustable silverware basket, a soil-sensing wash system, and 4 cycle options to choose from.

Decent for the price

So for the price I paid this appeared to be the best option, I searched online a lot. And better yet, it went on sale after I ordered it so Best Buy issued me a credit for the difference. I did the installation myself and compared it to the 20 year old Kenmore I was replacing.
The Whirlpool is not as solidly built, a lot more cost efficiencies obviously, lots more plastic and thin gauge metal. There is also almost ZERO room to work under the dishwasher once you get it into the cabinet, so hopefully you can get everything connected before you slide it in.
The water inlet is 3/4" - not 3/8" like your water lines under the sink are. This dishwasher does not include an adapter, so you'll need that. And the only way to get one usually is a "kit" with other things you don't need, so add 20 bucks to the price of the dishwasher.
Drying aid - they harp on the need for this in the owner's manual. I ran it the first time empty and in fact it was full of condensation on the inside at the end. So, if you had a dishwasher you were using only detergent in you'd better plan on that drying aid stuff in addition now if you want dry dishes.
Sound - I saw a couple comments about the noise level. This unit is no quieter than any other dishwasher. It's the same as the old one it replaced. There is a big "blanket" of insulation that comes with it, which is not sized to fit it and not properly set up to secure it when you slide it into place. I had to put some tape near the edges and cram it into the cabinet space. That blanket thing is probably an attempt to cut sound down, it makes it not unreasonably loud but not whisper quiet either.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does it come with a power cord?
Under the accessories section it says to buy the stainless waterline and the power cord, my question is if it comes with the power cord? Thanks
No - it comes with wires to the dishwasher in a box on the front. If your existing dishwasher uses a standard plug under the sink, you would need a power cord. If your existing dishwasher taps into a romex cable in the cabinet you can just use a couple wire nuts to hook it up in the power box. Make sure you turn off the breaker first though. Also, it doesn't come with a strain relief collar so you'll need that if you want it up to code.
