Date: 2008-02-24 | Rating: 5 We purchased this dishwasher about 2 months ago and love it! We were replacing a 17-year-old Kitchenaid dishwasher that we installed when we first built our house, so of course dishwashers have advanced since then. This new Kitchenaid is MUCH quieter, MUCH roomier on both the top and bottom shelves (due to the tall tub design), and even gets our dishes cleaner. What's not to like! We are extremely satisifed with our purchase so far and would recommend this model to anyone. Great Machine - Excellent Value Date: 2008-11-02 | Rating: 5 We purchased this machine in black for $650. Machine's noise level is very close to that of Bosch but has far greater capacity, heated dry, and no strainer to pull and clean. Interior really has a commercial feel with a stainless steel four arm spray unit. Cycle time is a bit long due to energy savings wait periods in the cycle to give time for dried on foods to soften. Installed myself, unit was well packaged, light enough to handle alone, fit a standard opening with a couple easy leveling adjustments; discharge hose was plenty long to reach across a double sink to the disposal connection. Pretty good dishwasher - OK design - a little bit noisy but not bad - Date: 2008-09-28 | Rating: 3 We bought this about 6 months ago from Lowes - I think our model was only $675 but we got black color, not stainless. I find it difficult to see the actual rinse aid level - I can't really tell if it's full or needs more. That is a pretty minor thing though. Also, the design is ok - not fabulous or anything - but ok for the money. I don't think it's whisper quiet or anything, but it's reasonably quiet for the price. I don't like that it takes about 3 hours to run a "Smart" cycle which is what we were told to always use. However, this is probably true with most brands recommend "auto sensor" cycle. Also, you MUST be sure not load any large, tall pans or anything that blocks the soap dispenser. This is true of any dishwasher and I was about to call for service because our dispenser would be full of soap sometimes - but Lowe repair service did some basic phone questions before sending someone out, and I figured out that I was blocking the dispense just by putting a tall pan right in front of it. Extremely Disappointed Date: 2008-11-09 | Rating: 1 The dishwasher seized the first time we turned it on. The serviceman said the pump impeller was jammed solid, perhaps on a screw or piece of plastic left in the unit at the factory. The unit never even had a dish put in it. The entire motor/pump assembly needs to be replaced. We were told by the serviceman to not even think about asking for a replacement unit because we'll never get one from Whirlpool. It's been almost a month since we received it and it still isn't fixed. The store won't take it back and they want nothing to do with the problem. The old Hobart KitchenAid we had lasted 25 years but I will never buy a KitchenAid/Whirlpool product again. poor components!
