SatinGlide® Max Rails (Upper Rack) Creates a smooth, premium feeling when pulling out the upper rack, particularly with heavy loads.

Fold-Down Shelf with Stemware Holders Provides extra room in the upper rack that s perfect for additional cups, wine glasses, or longer items like utensils and spatulas.

Filter-Based Wash System Provides exceptional cleaning and drying, with wash arms designed to send just the right water pressure to key areas of the dishwasher.

Sani-Rinse Option Heats the final rinse water to 155°F, eliminating 99.999% of food soil bacteria.

Express Wash Cycle Quickly and effortlessly handles soiled dishes in less time.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

So Far, So Good

Kirke 11/23/2019

This is my second KitchenAide dishwasher in five years. I'm very happy with this machine so far, but concerned about the corporation's cost-cutting that has led to less reliable machines. My previous machine started failing after about 2 years - at first little things like the cheap, cheap door spring mechanism; then larger things until finally, after about 41/2 years our fabulous dealer told us to replace it rather than replace more parts. It had stopped drying, and after replacing the board and other parts, the service manager said, "It's time." I would have purchased another brand, but my dealer only services Whirlpool products. So, here I am, poorer and not wiser. Perhaps I had a faulty machine. I'm guessing not, that KitchenAid products are just not as good as they once were. Too bad.

So quiet !!!

Terry Dott 11/21/2019

Bought this online on 10/19/19. It wasn't delivered and installed until 11/8/19 after multiple calls to Lowes. Since I live alone, I have only used it 2 times - it takes a while to fill with silverware and dishes because it's so large and well designed for filling. Everything that went in "dirty" meaning only scraped and not pre-washed came out sparkling clean and best of all dry. In fact I had to open up the door a couple of times because it was so quiet, I thought it wasn't working. I look forward to Thanksgiving weekend when my family will have a meal here (pre-turkey time) and I can put it to full use. You ask for an evaluation of the dishwasher and I can only base this on the little use I've put it thru. My first dishwasher was a Kitchenaid back in the late1960's. It was a roll around and I had a 6 member family. When I sold it in the mid-1980's it was still working efficiently and I had another Kitchenaid installed during the renovation of my kitchen. Hope I can have the same dependability with this unit.

VeraQ 11/18/2019

I bought this dishwasher to replace a 30 year old Kitchenaid that had outlived its usefulness. I had gotten into the habit of washing the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. And then there were those stubborn few who went through just about every wash. Night and day!! My dishes are really clean!!! I wish I could have bought this years ago!!

Kenjah 11/18/2019

I owned a kitchen aid dishwasher previously and was very happy with it, so when it came time to buying a new one I went right to looking at Kitchen Aid. I am so happy with this one, its so quiet you can barely hear it run, and with the rinse aid my dishes come out dry and sanitized. Excellent machine

Dissatisfied

unhappy2019 11/18/2019

I bought this dishwasher on sale at Lowe's for $650. I had it professionlly installed. It worked beautiful for the first 5 times. We don't run it much as there are only two of us in the household. After that it will no longer fill with water. Infact the detergent pod was burnt when it was released and fell onto the heating coil. That's when we realized no water was entering. I contacted customer service about it. They suggested cleaning the filter so they sent me the owner's manual with instructions. Since it was used only 5 times, filters were clear. I am still unable to have water get in the tub. Forums have suggested that there is a problem with this model that when the sensor thinks water is in the tub, it will not fill. Customer service seems unaware of that issue. So now, I have to wait until I can co-ordinate times for someone to come out and look at it. My bargain was not a bargain.

I have had two dishwashers in past 15 years.. another brand! Didn't dry properly, the speed cycle took forever, difficult to load glasses. Went back to KitchenAid and I love it!! Capacity is greater and it is very silent.

Katy from KC 11/14/2019

I got this about a month ago and its been perfect. The trays slide VERY smoothly and I don't have to get on my daughter about putting all the utensils in one container on the bottom so they nest because of the handy utensil cover. Its quiet and working great. The ONLY complaint I have and this is miniscule, is I wish the lights that say the cycle is complete after washing would go off once the door has been opened.

Quiet and Cleans Well

Gary02 11/14/2019

So far so good! I bought this a month ago and it has worked as advertised every day. It's quieter than our old dishwasher, but that one was getting very old and leaking. The only minor drawback I have noted is it doesn't dry some dishes completely. It has an extended dry capability, but the extra electricity that uses isn't worth the minor inconvenience involved in wiping off 3 or 4 dishes.

Ultra quiet!

Beenaround 11/8/2019

We've had this about a month and really love it. It is practically soundless when operating. I like the choice of heat drying options. The easy clean out filter is great. Easy to load. This Kitchenaid is a big step up from our old (actually not so "old") dishwasher that stopped working after only a few years. The quality shows.

So quiet, unless you stand near by you will barely be aware it's operating. The lights are on and I hear it working but compared to my 30+ year old Maytag dishwasher that recently went to dishwasher heaven, this is like a lullaby.

Dshw 10/31/2019

So pleased to get a new dishwasher that is so quiet and well constructed. When our old dishwasher bit the dust after 24 years, I was concerned about what we would find and if it would have the features we were looking for. Happy when we found this dishwasher and at a reasonable price!

Micsol 10/31/2019

I've had this dishwasher for slightly over 2 months now & am beyond happily satisfied. This is the quietest dishwasher I have ever had. I have to check to see if it's running, since it's so quiet- a definite improvement over the Kenmore it replaced. It dries the dishes great! NO COMPLAINTS!! It's time for a new stove...I will be looking for a KitchenAid.

Purchased to replace Kenmore that had a power surge and stopped working.. All good so far...only minor issue is the silverware holder that has different size holes and some holes do not accommodate tablespoons so it's like playing whack-a-mole to load the silverware.. Cleans well and is quiet...
