Rated 1 out of 5 by UPSET WITH KITCHENAID from KITCHENAID KDTE254E BEWARE OF DOOR VENT Upgraded dishwasher to this product. The dishwasher was professionally installed by the company I purchased it from. Noticed steam wetting cabinet and counter. Contacted company purchased from - technician came out and said could not be flush with cabinet and needed to be pulled out - he pulled out - now control panel shows, mounting bracket shows and from the side it looks like someone has left the door open. I just spent $1,000 and have something that visually is FAR worse than the 16 year old GE the building installed. No one mentioned to me when I purchased the unit about the door vent. I am VERY unhappy and get upset every time I walk in the kitchen.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Ruth from Very quiet and does a great job This dishwasher is VERY quiet and does a great job of cleaning. However, I did notice one design flaw. The vent for the damp, warm air from the dishwasher is on the side of the door. This results in the damp air blowing from the dishwasher on to my nice oak wood cabinetry. This is not a good combination and over time will ruin the cabinet. It might help if the deflectors were pointed out to the room instead of down. I am now looking for a long, flat object that I could put between the wood and dishwasher to deflect the warm, damp air away from the wood. I would much prefer the vent to be on the front of the dishwasher.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Never Too Old to Learn from Most quiet dishwasher you can get We wanted a quiet dishwasher and this is rated at 39 decibels. That is the most quiet dishwasher that you can get. It really cleans well; I could see my glasses were clear and bright. I like the silverware basket, it keeps each piece upright and separated. The cost in electricity per year is low, even though I always set it on sani-wash. It has a little light that tells you (by what color it is) whether dishes are washing, drying, or done. It also has a "clean" lighted indicator, so you know you're not opening up a dirty load. The racks move in and out really smoothly.IIt has adjustable racks to fit just about anything. It is made in America!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Soccer Mom from Super cleaning power! Bought this to replace a 10 year old Jenn-Air that gradually started to not clean the dishes. Love this new one. Love the 3rd rack on top for spatulas, cup lids, grill tools, etc. Only issue is that when our plates are in the bottom rack, we cannot put tall mugs in the middle rack - - if we adjust it down, the rack hits the dinner plates. If we adjust the middle rack up, the tall mugs/glasses don't fit. I suspect this is user error and I'll eventually figure out a good system to load the new dishwasher, but that's the only thing i've had trouble with so far. It's a beautiful appliance, works well, feels heavy duty, solid. Would recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Liz from So quiet Have had this for two weeks now and use at least once a day. Absolutely love it. Dishes are spotless no matter what setting I use. Love the flat top rack, I use it for all my silverware, which has freed up space in the bottom rack for larger items, as I removed the silverware basket. It is so quiet. I find myself double checking that I hit the start button since I don't hear it running. The different wash options are awesome there is a setting for any situation you might encounter. My only complaint is the big stainless steel handle, I wish it were white so it blended in with the white dishwasher better. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Boregard from Quiet as a Mouse and Built Solid Best features of the appliance so far are its quietness, solid build, and ability to clean the dirtiest dishes. Its so quiet you have to really listen to see if its running. The ball bearing dish trays slide easily and feel sturdy. While the 3rd top rack is nice for some of the flatter things you may wash if they are cupped up they will hold the wash water and there is not much clearance to the top of the unit. It would also have been nice to be able to separate the utensil holder into two units for smaller loads of utensils. I have noticed that there is a bit of water left on the dishes after drying. Overall though its a solid choice.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Ron from Quiet Machine, Bad Bottom Tray Design The machine is very quiet. The controls are simple and easy. It is problematic though that whenever you open the door to add a dish you have to push the "Start Button" again. Otherwise, besides it not running, the machine just sits there and beeps. Very annoying. The bottom drawer is difficult to load bowls in. Flat dishes are fine but anything curved is a problem. The drawer slides move like they are on sand and make me think that the floor model is made to a different standard than the one we were sold. We have begun our long planned kitchen renovation and will now look elsewhere than Kitchen Aid. A long time customer, very disappointed.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Karen from Very Quiet We have only had this dishwasher a couple of days but so far, so good. My husband and I both like how quiet it is. I even had it washing and he couldn't tell it was running until he put his ear up to it (and he is VERY sound sensitive). I like the idea of the silverware or flat item rack at the top, however it gets in the way. Maybe I need to lower the second rack, but at the position the second rack is right now, it pulls out every time I pull out the second rack - it's just annoying. Dishes seem to be coming out cleaner than my old dishwasher, but I am also using the dishwasher pods instead of the gel as I did in my old dishwasher.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shurman292 from Great Bang for the Buck Bought a KitchenAid KDTE254ESS dishwasher. We didn't mind spending more on a dishwasher but any increases in price in the kitchenaid lineup did not equate to a similar increase in cleaning performance, just extra frills we didn't need. With that said, I have never known a dishwasher to be so incredible. Dishes come out spotless. Every time. Even baked on lasagna pans (using the ProScrub feature). We have softened water and use the expensive dishwasher pods so this may contribute some, but I've been extremely impressed. The third rack is handy, and the ball bearing racks glide in and out impossibly smoothly. I cannot fault this dishwasher at all!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Purplecat from Quality dishwasher with a few flaws. Beautiful dishwasher that matches my other kitchenaid appliances. Like all my kitchenaids, it looks and feels luxurious. Very quiet. It has two flaws that I find annoying. The bottom rack tines are too short for certain dinner plates. My heavier, thicker plates fall over on each other. I can still wash them if I space them apart. The everyday dishes I have work fine. The "3rd" level upper rack is not usable. When the 3rd level is installed there isn't enough space for tall glassware on the 2nd level and dinner plates on the 3rd level at the same time. I just removed it. Overall I am happy with it because it matches my other appliances.
