Know before you buy
This model operates at 47 dBA. It is quiet enough to run while you are in the kitchen or nearby living area without being a significant distraction.
This system automatically opens the door at the end of the cycle to allow moisture to escape and fresh air to circulate. It significantly improves drying performance, especially for plastics, compared to traditional closed-door drying.
No, pre-rinsing is generally not necessary. With over 30 targeted wash jets and three wash arms, the machine is designed to break down stuck-on food and clean thoroughly on its own.
The stainless steel interior is more durable than plastic and helps resist odors and stains over time. It also retains heat better, which assists in the drying process.
The Leak Identification System monitors for water leaks during operation. If a leak is detected, it provides an added layer of safety to help prevent potential water damage to your kitchen cabinetry or flooring.
Yes, this is a front-control model, meaning the buttons are located on the exterior of the door. This allows you to easily select your cycle and monitor the progress of the wash without needing to open the door.
