Rated 5 out of 5 by derekg1911 from Gets the dishes clean! Bought about a month ago and installed it. At first the heat cycle wouldn't kick on and found out that sometimes the dishwasher needs to be reset from the factory. No big deal. I also like the top pull out rack for small things or sharp objects. It can be removed if more room on the top rack is needed. It's very quiet compared to my old dishwasher that was about 10 years old. The control panel is very intuitive and easy to use. Making cycle selections is very straight forward and the LED lights by the buttons are very bright and sharp looking. So far it works great.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Jennifer H from The unit cleans very well. I had great recommendations about this dishwasher. The top rack does not move easily at all and I have to practically jerk it to get it to move. It was like this the day it was installed and I called Nebraska Furniture Mart about the issue and their representative was very rude and said that was not their problem. They were only concerned with the outside of the dishwasher. I had to call the manufacturer which I tried to do but was never able to get through to a KitchenAid representative so I finally hung up. I think I would love this dishwasher had the NFM responded to my concern after it was installed and simply come to adjust the upper rack.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mama Scout from Way better than expected! I got this at the Sears going out of business sale, and there were only 3 options left, so I chose this model because it was the best price. I had low expectations because I hate new appliances with all the new water saving features because they don’t seem to clean as well. But this turned out to be a great choice, I LOVE this dishwasher! It is so quiet I had to double check to make sure it was running! I tested its ability to clean by running a dish with dried macaroni and cheese without rinsing or scrubbing first, and was shocked that it came out spotless. This is definitely a good dishwasher, and I am very pleased with its performance. It also loads very nicely.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Lani from I have mixed feelings I am rating my dishwasher three stars for the following reason. When we received our dishwasher the first week in December, it was over two weeks before we could actually use it. The motor was bad and had to be replaced. I’ve never heard of a brand new machine needing a new motor. That rating gets one star. The good side is, a very talented service technician came, removed the motor, and in about five days later replaced it. Once we were able to actually use the dishwasher we were very happy with it. That would be a five star rating. Average them out and you get three stars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ToddEmilie from Dishwasher You know you are an adult when you are excited to buy and review a dishwasher. My husband and i just bought our first house and this was our next purchase, since the house came with its original avocado green dishwasher. I have to say that we couldn’t be happier, this dishwasher is quiet, efficient and cleans so well! We’ve come from Apartments where dishwashers were glorified drying racks. No longer, kitchen aid has it right , adjustable shelves, a third rack for smaller items, hidden control buttons so our 2 year old doesn’t get any ideas and it’s gorgeous! (We got black stainless) We’ve had it for about 6 weeks at this point and no complaints, i will update if we find something!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Camala from Could be better Cleans well and has a good choice of cycles. However, it doesn't have some of the basic features of my old KitchenAid. Some examples: Control panel labels have very tiny print--very difficult to read. Lots of white space that could be used for larger print. Can't tell how much time is left on the cycle. Can't tell if cycle is finished--the indicator light is too small and doesn't change color: it's blue when it starts the cycle and blue when the cycle is complete. Too few fold-down tines. No clips on middle rack to hold small items like jar lids. Three racks is Ok, but the middle one catches on the tab of the rinse dispenser pulling it open. Have to raise the rack to avoid this.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Amfin from Happy with purchase We love everything about this dishwasher. Only reason I didn't give it an "excellent" rating is that we prefer the silverware basket in the door so you don't need to open the entire door to drop in a couple of spoons. The basket in this dishwasher will not even move to the front. So we took the basket out completely and now just use the third top/flat rack for all of our silverware. Only need to pull it out a couple of inches to put silverware on it. Would still prefer the basket in the door like our old Whirlpool. But overall, it's a great dishwasher except for our personal preference regarding the silverware basket.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bmoxley from My new bestie! We were torn between a Kitchen Aid and a more expensive brand. Hubby wanted the other brand & I did some research and decided on a Kitchen Aid! I checked with a friend who's family has owned & repaired appliances for over 60 years. He said Kitchen Aid! It's like Magic, I put dishes in (lots of dishes), push the buttons and without hearing a thing, my dishes are clean! I love the third rack! I guess by now you know which dishwasher we got! KITCHEN AID! My hubby is happy too!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bobbygee from Super clean and super quiet. We are happy we paid the extra for KitchenAid. It is hard to tell if the the dishwasher is running it’s so quiet. Like the little essentials rack at the top. Stainless steel is an added plus. Also the bearings for the rack slides are a very nice feature. The only hard thing to get used to are the hidden controls on the top of the door, and that is not really a negative. We are happy with it.

Rated 1 out of 5 by OkieRed from Control Panel Didn't Work Right I bought this Nov. 2nd and it was delivered the 9th. It was installed the 10th and didn't work right. The only load I washed in it washed, rinsed and drained over and over for 3 hours until I took the dishes out and dried them. We had to unplug it to get the light show on the control panel to stop. The 13th a factory repairman confirmed that the control panel was bad and it would take a week to get another one. At that point we bought another brand and had this one picked up. Very poor quality and service. Why couldn't the part have been over-nighted and replaced???
