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.

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.

Third rack useless bad utensil basket
Bought after appliance store said another model not available and now turns out this one is discontinued. Unlike other third racks this one is so shallow nearly nothing fits. One utensil basket with setup to insert each piece with handle down is annoying and less functional. My older KA had two utensil baskets and loaded easier

Steep learning curve
Bought 3 weeks ago and am having a challenge navigating on-line owner manual, learning how best to load it and get used to a new way of putting things in. Still feels like it doesn't hold as much as my 26 year old Hotpoint with no bells or whistles. While it wasn't an essential criterion, it is superquiet. I have to take it on faith that the very LONG run time is more energy efficient. Seems counter-intuitive.

Don't Buy
We had this dishwasher only two and a half years and now we have to make the decision to buy a new one or spend hundreds on fixing it. It is only used once or twice a week and the repairman said it needs a new pump and motor. I had water all over my basement wall and damage behind the dishwasher because of the leak. When I called KitchenAid they offered to send a new pump and motor, but I'm still out hundreds of dollars for diagnosis and repairs.

Worked great at first, but get the warranty
We bought this dishwasher and were very happy with it for about 18 months.At some point, it stopped drying well, even with JetDry and heated dry cycles. We reached out to support but they weren't helpful. Go ahead and buy it, but get the extended warranty. You'll likely need it.

Really quiet and great features.
I bought this to replace the whirlpool that quit on us. I can't believe how quiet it runs. The third rack for flat ware is great.

Great Dishwasher!!!
I did my research and I am very pleased with this dishwasher. I have tried most cycles and have been very impressed with how clean my dishes come out. I have tried really dirty dishes and not so dirty dishes and they all come out clean. Dishwasher is very quiet. My only problem is I can't figure out how the upper silverware tray works so I took it out.
I have only been using dishwasher for about a month but I am very happy with it. Hands down better than my last one that never got anything clean.
