Customer Reviews

Rated 1 out of 5 by Matt K from Not the quality I would expect from KitchenAid I purchased this dishwasher slightly over a year ago. At about 14 months, it would fail to engage in any wash cycle about 10% of the time. Over the next couple months, the problem progressively has gotten worse, and not the dishwasher fails to engage in a wash cycle. We've used the manual, called in, researched, and nothing works. Kitchenaid will not stand behind the product as we are outside the 1-year mark, leaving us with the option to foot a substantial repair bill or dispose of the washer. I would expect more from a $700-$800 dishwasher and a company like Kitchenaid. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

Rated 3 out of 5 by skwalsh from Great Except for top Rack We purchased the previous model that has the same features but with a slightly different door latch. The dishwasher is quiet and does a great job of cleaning. While the SatinGlide Max Rails upper rack is great for sliding a full load in and out, the design is flawed. The entire weight of the rack is held by two tiny plastic pieces on each side. We are empty nesters and while we do have good glassware, we are gentle with our appliances. One of the two tiny pieces broke in about 10 months of use. While we are still under warranty, we are having difficulty getting a replacement piece and are concerned this is an ongoing problem that will need numerous replacements over the next few years we plan on keeping the dishwasher. I suggest holding off on purchasing any dishwasher with the SatinGlide Max Rails until the plastic side pieces are replaced with metal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Gnuguy from Beautifully Made We bought this a month ago because we love Kitchenaid appliances. We're still trying to find out what the best settings are as these new dishwashers don't seem to work nearly as fast as the older models, nor do they dry the dishes as well as the older models did. I'm just glad we purchased a unit with the heated element or we would be drying everything by hand! Our old dishwasher could do a load of dishes in about 90 minutes, but this unit takes about 3 1/2 hours. The beauty of this machine is this it runs so quietly you don't even know it's working, and since we normally run it at the end of the day the length of time it's running isn't really that big a deal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ChefMike from Very quiet and really clean dishes We got this to replace a broken dishwasher and couldn’t be more pleased. Got a great deal at less than $600. Very quiet machine with great cleaning power. We have owned other kitchenaid dishwashers and this has so far lived up to our high expectations. The dishwasher we replaced was already in the house and a whirlpool. New machine has much better construction with metal rather than plastic. We are about to remodel and are going with kitchenaid appliances all around. I’ve dealt with KA customer service in regards to a mixer and have confidence any unforeseen problems would be handled quickly and in a satisfactory manner.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Spitzfree from Really Great but... I love this dishwasher. It is whisper quiet, cleans and dries well, the top rack glides like a dream, (weird, but that was a BIG reason why I bought it...it just feel like quality...like a good zipper!!!) the outside finish is truly 'printless', the lights on the outside controls are pretty but... The letters on the controls are small and difficult to read. Now I might not have 20/20 vision anymore but I don't think I should have to go find a pair of 'cheaters' to start my dishwasher. Just a little bigger or a little darker would go a long way. Otherwise, I'm happy as a clam and very glad I bought it!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by DJ66 from Super quiet! I have been using my new dishwasher about a month and am very pleased with it. It’s very quiet, and the dishes are clean. The upper rack, which can be lowered, could be handy, but so far I have not had the need to use this feature. I’m sure there will be larger items at times that I may want to put in the top rack and will appreciate being able to lower it to accommodate the items. My previous dishwasher was also a Kitchenaid, and was 17 years old with no repairs needed all those years. The electronic panel malfunctioned recently, so it was time to replace it. I’m very happy with my purchase.

Rated 5 out of 5 by RhodaLynn from My 1st Dishwasher I am a first time user & tried to get the easier model with the best features. I failed in not picking 1 with a timer. Also the cycles are extremely too long even the quick cycle is almost 2 hours 1 & 45 minutes. Compliments are the quietness, stainless steel adjustable top shelf basket, heat drying is great & the dishes really come out clean & clear. Its a great looking dishwasher & matches my new upgraded kitchen.

Rated 5 out of 5 by russtlin from Nice and quiet! Just moved into a new home (to us), and we wanted all matching appliances, so bought 4 KitchenAid products (stove, convection/microwave, fridge, dishwasher), and so far, have been very pleased with the dishwasher. The Whirlpool unit that came with the house didn't have a "rinse only" cycle, if you can believe that! I thought all dishwashers had that feature, but we couldn't figure it out. Plus the fact that the unit really wasn't very clean and we couldn't get the stainless steel exterior to look the way we wanted it to look. But we are very happy with the unit so far.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mom52340 from I love it I had a KitchenAid dishwasher in California that never gave me a bit of trouble. When we moved to Oregon and had a new house we decided to get an LG. Boy was that a mistake. We had to have it repaired five times. The last time I decided enough of this I am getting a KitchenAid. It is so nice to have that secure filling that I now have this wonderful KitchenAid dishwasher. It does such a great job. I will never have any other brand of dishwasher. Thank you KitchenAid.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Not Pleased Either from Wet Dishes I have had it for about 4 weeks and not very happy. Doesn't dry dishes very well. Went on vacation for one week and when I came back the inside was still wet and it hadn't been used for one week.
