What customers say
This dishwasher earns high praise primarily for its superior cleaning power and innovative capacity. Reviewers consistently highlight the powerful wash jets that effectively remove baked-on residue, even in difficult areas. The signature third level utensil rack is a major benefit, significantly improving organization and freeing up valuable lower rack space. Operation is remarkably quiet, fitting well into modern homes. While drying efficiency, especially on plastics, receives some tempered feedback, the overall perception of quality and durability remains extremely high. The combination of exceptional cleaning and smart capacity management makes this a highly recommended premium upgrade.
Know before you buy
This model operates at 39 dBA, which is exceptionally quiet. You will barely hear it running, making it an ideal choice for open-concept kitchens where noise can easily travel to living areas.
The third rack provides a dedicated space for silverware, cooking utensils, and small items like ramekins. By moving these items to the top, you free up significant space in the lower racks for larger pots and pans.
No, the dishwasher features over 30 targeted wash jets designed to handle stuck-on food. You can load your dishes directly without pre-rinsing, provided you scrape off large food scraps first.
Yes, the middle rack is adjustable, allowing you to customize the interior space. This is particularly useful when you need extra clearance in the bottom rack for tall items like stockpots or baking sheets.
The Leak Identification System monitors for water leaks during operation. If a leak is detected, the system is designed to alert you, helping to prevent potential water damage to your kitchen cabinetry and flooring.
A stainless steel interior is more durable, resists odors, and retains heat better than plastic. This heat retention helps improve drying performance and ensures the tub remains hygienic over time.
