Rated 2 out of 5 by usabill from Does not age well We've had this dishwasher for about 5 or 6 years. The dishwasher itself runs great however since about a year ago plastic bits have started to break. Most recently the upper rack became unusable because the plastic rail that the pullout metal slider (which is beginning to show signs of rust) fits into broke off. Other plastic bits like the positioners and tine pivot clips break very easy as well. We use city water which is filtered through a salt water softener and retail dishwasher tabs. I am surprised that while all other parts and construction seem to be top-notch that the company decided to use low-grade plastics with limited shelf life.

Rated 4 out of 5 by bbj4 from Love the features We replaced our 40-year-old (!) Whirlpool dishwasher last month. We're enjoying many of the features of our new machine but have not tried them all. Love the third rack -- use it for silverware to have more room for stuff in the bottom rack. Love the adjustable tines in the bottom rack, giving us room for more of our deep bowls and casserole dishes. Love the deepness of the middle rack -- can put so much more there than we could in our old machine. It is QUIET. We have to look at the lights to see if it's running or not. I'd give the machine 5 stars but for one thing: It takes so long! Seems like 2 hours or so for a normal cycle with heat dry.

Rated 1 out of 5 by monsan from The worst . . I replaced an 11 year old KA dishwasher with the KDTE334DSS0 a month ago. Without a doubt, the worst dishwasher ever. Glasses come out dirtier/filmier than they were when they went in. Dishes do not clean. If I don't completely wash the dishes before putting them in, I have to scrape them and rewash by hand. The bottom rack is poorly designed, I can put in about half of what I used to put in my older model. I only bought KA again because it was one of the few models with a drying element. I'm considering pulling it out and going for a non-element model. Drying the dishes is a better option than having to wash them first. . . couldn't be unhappier.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Karen B. from Great performance with ProWash and back jetts. I've had this model for 1 year in my 2nd kitchen (basement). I have a similar model for over 2 years in my main kitchen. It replaced another kitchen Aid dishwasher that I had for 5 years, still working great but I wanted to change from White to Stainless finish. The most recent purchase (the one I am rating) is the only one I have with the 3rd rack. 3rd rack is ok, but gets in the way sometimes. the rack inserts can be removed easily which is nice, but the whole rack assemble is still there and in the way sometimes. The only cycle you need is ProWash (includes Pro-scub jets), 1-hour, and delicate. There is no need for the other cycle choices.

Rated 4 out of 5 by booksfan from Great dishwasher! This dishwasher is super quiet and does an excellent job. It is so quiet, I have sometimes gone to check if it is actually running! I really like the silverware rack, which has slots for each piece, so I don't have to worry about pieces nesting if someone else (i.e., husband) loads dishwasher. The third rack is especially useful when dishwasher is full; the additional space is welcome! I also use the stemware pulldowns regularly and have adjusted the top rack occasionally. It is also thrifty with water. Only downside: cycle length. It takes a LONG time to finish a cycle! However, I happily put up with that for all the positives!

Rated 1 out of 5 by jamesb76 from Brand New and Needs Warranty Work I picked it up and installed it yesterday but the control panel is not responding. Called KitchenAid and they questioned if was installed correctly - drain, water, and electricity all connected properly. Tech was scheduled and will be here tomorrow - I look forward to this. The interesting thing is there was water inside the D/W when I unpacked it. I assumed this meant the unit had been tested but perhaps it was left in the rain. I will say this the unit looks to be built well. The entire box is box is stainless with thick walls, the door operates well and shuts tightly, and the hook up for water and electric are convenient to access and straight forward to connect.

Rated 1 out of 5 by linr from top rack ball bearings fall out we bought this 3 years ago and the plastic inside the side slide out arm for the top tray has slowly dried out and cracks. As you pull the top tray out, the small metal ball bearings fall out and go into the filter at the bottom. I have to get them out with a magnet or they go into the filter and then into my garbage disposal. I had to replace the garbage disposal due to damage. Now, the final piece of plastic and remaining ball bearings fell out and the entire top tray fell out on side side. Will never buy kitchenmaid again. Cleaned ok but replacing after 3 years is terrible.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Viv from great machine! I bought this this past august and I am very pleased...I had a very expensive dishwasher before and I never felt that it cleaned my dishes well. I think my new kitchen-aid does a much better job and it is just as quiet, which was a feature that I found to be important to me. The racks are adjustable which have used and changed depending on my needs. I like the silverware rack on top because it frees up more space to stack more dirty dishes. The only thing that i would say that is negative is the top rack for silverware sometimes doesn't get them squeaky clean in first run...sometimes I have to run some cutlery twice.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Pleased in Salem from So far an excellent dishwasher I purchased this a month ago and have been very pleased with this dishwasher. I didn't realize a dishwasher could actually get dishes clean. Only one time did I find something not entirely clean, which was cooked and dried egg on the cooking utensil on the upper most rack, and that certainly wasn't an issue with the dishwasher, rather my not taking the time to scrap the solid off. It is quiet, too. Not "I can't hear it running at all" quiet, but quiet enough we run it at night with no issues at all. I will hold off on 5 stars until I have had the dishwasher for several months, and then I will give an updated review.

Rated 2 out of 5 by mcox from Quiet I bought this a couple of months ago, to replace a miele dishwasher that had major issues twice. Vowed I wouldn't buy another miele as I didn't want to keep having the same problems, but now I am rethinking that. This dishwasher is very quiet, but doesn't have a true stainless steel exterior-just the look of stainless. Also, it doesn't clean well. All the dishes have to be thoroughly rinsed or they won't get clean. The silverware rack is set up funny, so you can't fit that many knives in it. I am disappointed that it doesn't clean my dishes like the miele did. I would say the only positives are that it runs quiet, cost a few hundred less than the miele, and it looks nice.
