Rated 1 out of 5 by UnhappyBuyer from Dishes and silverware dirty and spotted after "cleaned" in t Just got this dishwasher and am VERY disappointed. I use the Cascade packet and rinse aid that came with this dishwasher and rinse my dishes and silverware off before putting them in, but every time I use it, whether on Normal or ProWash cycle, the dishes come out with bits of food stuck to them and the silverware comes out tremendously spotted and also with little bits of food on them. Should not be like this and should not have to have a brand new dishwasher serviced. Would not recommend this dishwasher at all. I've attached 3 photos of silverware just "cleaned" in this dishwasher. Clearly subpar, unacceptable performance from a new dishwasher!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Jan6667 from Love our new dishwasher This is my 4th kitchenaid dishwasher thru 42 years of marriage, and the very best one so far...only been using it for 10 days, but it is amazingly quiet. Our kitchen is close to the living room, and our prior dishwasher was noisy, but this tops it by far. Cleans very very well. We just updated giving our 10 year kitchenaid away ..it still worked well. Not sure about the inset control buttons....we don't have little ones around so I probably would have been fine with the controls on the front like all the others we had. Just a matter of getting used to it. And we have used one every day with pots and pans, etc. So happy we purchased this one so far!

Rated 1 out of 5 by never had one from Greatly disappointing This is the third Kitchenaid dishwasher that I have owned. I would like to say that I am happy but, this one leaves so much to be desired that I wish I had my old one back! The loading is difficult and I can no longer put as many dishes in this configuration. I hate that I have to remove the silverware by handling the end you put in your mouth. The cycle length is just ridiculously long and their is always a little water in the machine at the end of the cycle. On several occasions unless I throughlly wash the dishes first, there is some food on the dishes. The best feature is the absolute silence of the product.

Rated 4 out of 5 by JoaquinSr from Good Dishwasher This washer is very quiet, not the quietest we've owned but quieter than most. The only problem is that the dishes are not dry when the cycle is done. You have to own the door and leaned it open for a while so that the dishes completely dry. A good thing is that the "finished" light stays on until you turn it off. That way when you open the door and don't empty it, you are still reminded that the dishes are cleaned. A problem is that if you don't close the door to start the washer quickly after pushing the start button, the light begins to flash and won't start the cycle until you press the start button again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by RickNO from QUIET!!! Bought this during a partial kitchen remodel. Not our first choice - the KitchenAid model we wanted was out of stock. This thing is QUIET, and it looks really nice (almost a flat panel of stainless. The dishes are VERY CLEAN and VERY DRY, which was not the case with our 11 year old Whirlpool. If there is a downside - it has MUCH more room for silverware than our older one, but everyone knows, the more silverware you put in, the less likely it will all be cleaned (and that is still true). I'd rather a LITTLE more space for dishes other than plates on bottom. That has been an UNPLEASANT surprise.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ThreePutt from Great value and so quiet! Considered buying a Bosch but decided on the KitchenAid instead based on its reputation, 42 Decibel rating, and more extensive wash and heat dry options. It is just as quiet as a more expensive Bosch and it's stainless steel tub and rack construction seem to be of higher quality. Unlike the Bosch models we looked at, the KitchenAid racks glide easily and do not fall out of their track. The height of the upper rack is adjustable, the controls are easy to operate, and with the use of a rinsing agent, the dishes come out sparkling. We have an open floor plan in our house so we needed a quiet dishwasher. This KitchenAid product (Model KDTE404DSS) fits the bill and then some. We are very pleased.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SisterNina from Great dishwasher!! Not too surprised to find that this dishwasher is wonderful!! Have had Kitchenaid washers before and they've always been great. This one washes better than any we've had before (including the Bosch it replaced) and is soooooo quiet!! Still figuring out how to load it, but that happens every time you get a new machine. Did have an issue with the dimensions. It would not fit in the hole in the cabinets (assumed that the Bosch dimensions for which the hole was designed were the same) and it took several days of sanding and sawing to enlarge the hole. Turned out great, but was a lot of trouble!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by WAHrvat from Cleans very well, unbelievably quiet, love it! I've had this dishwasher for about a month now, and I love it. I've used the ProClean cycle almost exclusively, and dishes come out spotless; the average cycle time seems to be about two and a half hours, though. When running, it is exceptionally quiet; I have to listen very carefully to hear it at all. Because the lower rack is configured completely differently from my old dishwasher, I'm still getting used to how to load it, but that isn't the dishwasher's fault. I've read a couple of reviews that complain that the detergent door doesn't open completely during the wash cycle, leaving detergent in the dispenser, but I haven't experienced that myself. Overall, an awesome dishwasher...highly recommended!

Rated 2 out of 5 by barbara31 from I hate this dishwasher! I am a Kitchenaid super fan; I love their products. We had a Kitchenaid Pro Series before this and it was great. We bought this dishwasher 3 months ago and I cannot imagine using it for another year, much less another 10 years. I have standard 9" plates and they are too tall for this dishwasher(the middle rack spinner hits my plates during the cycle). My cups and bowls don't come clean on the second rack, even after I prerinse. The third rack is completely useless. The trays are unstable and slide around. We were so excited to get this dishwasher, it has been such a disappointment.

Rated 4 out of 5 by ORmom from Really quiet, smaller than our previous one Our old Kitchenaid died so we ended up getting a new one. This Kitchenaid is super quiet. You can hear it so you know it is running, but it takes listening and it doesn't interfere with the TV, talking on the phone, or anything. However, it doesn't seem to be as big on the inside as our previous one in that we seem to be able to fit less into the new one. I miss being able to delay the dishwasher 2 or 4 or 6 hours instead of only being able to delay 4 hours with the new one. I preferred the flip down feature of the previous dishwashers silverware holders. the height between the bottom rack and the top rack also seems less. However, it cleans our dishes really well and it is QUIET which is what we really wanted.
