Our first d/w was a Maytag that cleaned very well.Unfortunately, in 2 years time we had to replace the latch handle twice, it was recalled because of a potential fire, and ultimately, the tub warped and we replaced it with this Kitchenaid.

Having done extensive research, there is no one d/w that everyone loves.That being said, Kitchenaid comes up as one of the brands that most people prefer.Why not go with a middle level Kitchenaid?Again, all the research I turned up said that it was necessary to go with the higher end in order to get better quality.The higher end uses a different drying and washing process than the mid-range.

Another consideration was that only the top two models have the third tray for utensils.Both my husband and the appliance salesmen minimized the importance of this feature.Having now had the d/w for a month, it's one of my favorite features.Because of food allergies and because we homeschool, we run our d/w four times a day.I need every bit of space available for larger items.By using the upper utensil draw, I can place more items in the bottom drawer.

As I mentioned, I cook a great deal and use a 12 quart stock pot about once a week.I was concerned about being able to fit it in this d/w.Our previous Maytag was a tall tub and had a very large clearance from the bottom rack to the sprayer.No problem with the Kitchenaid.

There are several different options of cleaning cycles, and I do find myself using them. There's even an option for a shorter wash cycle.It's just as efficient, just not as energy-conscious.I haven't used it yet, but am thrilled to know it's available.

As everyone mentions, it's quiet as a whisper.I can talk on the phone right next to it with no problem.

When researching, I did turn up some concern over the side venting of the door.Have to say that our install left the vent just outside the cabinetry.No problems whatsoever.

If you do a great deal of cooking, this is the dishwasher for you!

Update: I wanted to post an update that as time has gone by my love for this dishwasher only continues.I run it roughly four times a day and have now used the 1 hour wash cycle.It's been an invaluable time saver.I've even washed our super large stock pot on the 1 hour cycle and it comes out clean.

My husband had expressed concern over the lack of a food grinder and my habit of not scraping the dishes immaculately before loading them.However, we've had no problems.I rarely remove the filter to clean it, and when I do I'm just rinsing it.It really isn't even necesssary.Almost a year later, and I still couldn't recommend it more.

This is the quietest dishwasher I have ever owned.We can run it while watching TV without any disturbance (our kitchen is open to the living room).It also gets dishes very clean.However, the drain pump went out after only 7 months of daily use.The warranty covered it but I was without a dishwasher for 2 weeks (by the time a service call was set up, then the part had to be ordered & took another week to come it).I am concerned that pump will go out again & the warranty will be expired.

I am not a fan of the 3rd shelf for small items.Tall glasses do not fit in the 2nd shelf because of that extra shelf & we rarely use that 3rd shelf.I finally pulled it out & keep it out.No need to pay extra for this feature.

This washer cleans amazingly well and is super quiet.I love the upper tray, but do wish you could put smaller bowls in the top rack.Still, the fold down shelves on the top tray are handy to keep light/short items from flying about (because the jets are strong!).My only real complaint is that the door sometimes won't close and you have to notice this and it usually seems to be because the top tray isn't pushed in all the way.It's not obvious, so it's annoying.Otherwise this washer runs and performs like a dream.The only time it leaves food on the plates is if they've been sitting in the washer for days with food on them before we run it.I'm confident I can put dirty (food covered) dishes in it and run it immediately and they'll be sparkling clean.

I had done a lot of reading about dishwashers when I decided to replace my Frigidaire Professional that came with my house.The Frigidaire never seemed to clean as we thought it should.

Long story short this is an amazing dishwasher.my mom cooked some lasagna we left the dish and merely put it into the dishwasher in front of the pot scrubbers.from caked and baked on sauce to perfectly clean.Trust me this is an amazing dishwasher and to top it off it is quiet.It also has a ton of room and a 3rd rack for small utensils.

you get what you pay for, buy it if it is in your budget.

Love the dishwasher. Quiet, quiet, quiet. And super clean results. Recommend it highly. However, the vendor had to send three units before we got one that was undamaged. I'm not sure it was their shipper's (Manna Distributing) fault.The boxes were undamaged but the dishwashers were dented and severly damaged.Might have been damaged at the factory and boxed that way.Who knows. But at least the vendor kept trying and never questioned that the damage was there.
