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 all is well. Like the 3rd rack. Like the fact that the door pops open at end of drying cycle. Very quiet. Will update if issues arise.

Some Helpful Suggestions

CBarry 8/5/2026

We are mostly happy with our dishwasher, however it should have come with a manual as I have many questions about which cycle to choose, how to load most efficiently, etc. But it did not come with a manual. Also, they advise to turn the spray arms to make sure nothing is touching or in the way, but my (small) hands do not fit in there to spin them! There should be adequate room to test this before each load!

Excellent replacement for our 25-year old unit.

Tom-R2 7/24/2026

Very quiet, although the regular wash/dry cycle runs 3 hours, I was surprised at the time compared to our previous KitchenAid dishwasher. It had lasted 25 years of frequent use and we got used to about a one-hour cycle. Everything seems to be in order. Cleans well, as was expected for a new machine. I installed it myself without real difficulties as far as the dishwasher is concerned. The water supply line was replaced (having been used for 25 years) and the mounting bracket on the underside of the granite countertop didn't line up with the tabs of the new unit so the brackets had to be replaced. The water intake is plastic, I would have preferred something stronger and less able to cross-thread when attaching the intake water line. It leaked a little the first testing after I connected the water line, I needed to tighten it a little more, but was concerned about how tight to turn it without stressing the plastic and breaking it. After a few days of use (3 uses so far) there are no leaks so I think it's good. None of these little issues were anything more than I expected installing a new machine after all of these years. Now to hope to get as good of service out of this one as we did the last one.

Overall Good

AZ dweller 7/23/2026

I use the Normal wash setting and ProDry setting but the dishes on top rack and middle rack have water sitting on them when done. I also notice the top rack does not seem to get rinsed well with soap still on them ... and I am very careful with loading for optimal water circulation. I do like the options for loading various size pieces and even without soaking, so far am happy with cleaning.

Many Wash Settings to Clean & Sanitize

DishWasherMeister 3/20/2026

We bought this model about six weeks ago and it has performed satisfactorily. However, with 11 separate setting selections, it is overly complicated. That is over 1,000 possible permutations. So, the run cycle can extend to more than three hours. Seems a bit excessive. And, of course with more features, the price goes up. Got to ask yourself, are all these options really necessary? Does it really make a difference in getting clean dishes at the end of the cycle? Sorry, but I would not purchase this model again.

Almost perfect.

HelplessInKitchen 2/19/2026

Well built, works well. Lower rack could use more vertical spokes to allow more efficient loading. Also, my last KitchenAid would remember the previous wash settings when the start button was pressed which I felt was very useful.

Wonderful third rack dishwasher with lots of space

Deb B. in Illinois 2/10/2026

Bought this third rack dishwasher a month ago and love it. The third rack is great for cups and utensils, and there is still so much space for all your dishes. I also love the door popping open when cycles are complete to let remaining steam escape and aid in drying. Kitchenaid is a brand you can count on and I highly recommend!

We have had this for over a month. It cleans well, the door pops open when it™€™s done, The third rack on top is a nice feature too. The only complaint is that it takes so long for the cycle. But they are all like that These days.

Quiet machine

Kosciuskorex 1/6/2026

We replaced our 18 year old KitchenAid dishwasher, it just wore out. Our new KitchenAid dishwasher works very well. The machine is very quiet and does an excellent job of cleaning our dishes. The third rack is definitely an improvement over our older model. The door open at the end of the drying cycle is a nice feature. Over all we are well satisfied with our new dishwasher works very. Hopefully the quality and endurance will meet or exceed our older model.

Cleans well

From 12/27/2025

Overall very pleased with the dishwasher. One issue is when the bottom rack is pulled out and then filled it is difficult to push back into the unit. It needs to be lifted over the hump to get it to slide back in

Silent and Efficient!

Jazzartist 12/12/2025

So satisfied with this Kitchen Aid dishwasher. I am very impressed by how quiet this model runs. I asked my wife to listen to the dishwasher while running and she remarked that she couldn™€™t hear it and had to check the light panel to see if it was really on! The ease of use is only outmatched by the performance and the cleaning power, never had such shiny silverware and glasses. I would buy this again and highly recommend to all.

Biggest waste of $$$$

Nope_Nope 10/24/2025

I have never made such a poor decision as purchasing a KitchenAid dishwasher, straight money down the drain. If you want an appliance that will forever smell like a mix of B.O and rotting fish, and a company unwilling to do anything about it. You™€™re in the right spot. Just don™€™t waste your time, keep shopping.

Tee G 10/6/2025

Really love this dishwasher. The extra level allows us to load more dishes. It is really quiet too as I run it overnight. The only thing is that it only has a 4 hour delay. There is no way to customize the delay setting.
