Know before you buy
The third rack is designed specifically to hold utensils, measuring cups, and small bowls, freeing up significant space in the lower racks. Because it is integrated into the 360° Max Jets system, it receives direct water coverage to ensure items are cleaned thoroughly without needing to be hand-washed.
Yes, 44 dBA is considered very quiet for a dishwasher. You will likely hear a soft hum while it runs, but it is generally unobtrusive enough to allow for normal conversation or watching television in an adjacent living area.
The fan-assisted drying system is significantly more effective than standard air-dry methods, especially for plastics. By pulling moisture out of the tub and using a heating element, it helps ensure that lightweight items like plastic containers come out dry rather than covered in residual water droplets.
The ProWash cycle uses built-in sensors to detect the soil level of your dishes. It automatically adjusts the cycle time and water usage in real-time to ensure a deep clean without wasting resources on lightly soiled loads.
No, this dishwasher features a True Self-Cleaning Filtration system. It continuously removes food particles from the wash water, so you do not need to worry about manually cleaning a filter screen.
PrintShield is a specialized finish designed to resist smudges and fingerprints, which gives it a slightly darker, more matte appearance than traditional polished stainless steel. While it is highly durable and easy to maintain, it may have a different sheen if placed directly next to non-PrintShield stainless appliances.
