What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise this KitchenAid dishwasher for its exceptional quietness and superior cleaning power. The 39 dBA operation is remarkably silent, perfect for open living areas. Dishes consistently emerge spotless and dry thanks to effective cycles and filtration. Aesthetically, the PrintShield finish is a major benefit, resisting fingerprints and maintaining kitchen appeal. While the third rack offers flexibility, some users note a minor adjustment period. Despite longer energy efficient cycles, the combination of reliable performance, sophisticated design, and near silent operation strongly validates the premium investment for highly satisfied owners.
Know before you buy
At 39 dBA, this dishwasher is exceptionally quiet, operating at a volume similar to a soft whisper. You will likely need to check the LED countdown projection on the floor to confirm it is actually running while you are in the kitchen.
Instead of relying solely on a heating element, this system automatically pops the door open at the end of the cycle. This allows moist air to escape and fresh air to circulate, which improves drying performance and reduces energy consumption.
PrintShield is a specialized stainless steel finish designed to resist fingerprints and smudges. While it has a slightly different texture than standard brushed stainless steel, it is designed to blend seamlessly with most modern kitchen aesthetics.
The FreeFlex rack is deeper and designed with an angled shape to accommodate larger items like glasses, mugs, and bowls that wouldn't fit in a flat cutlery tray. It provides 30% more usable space, allowing you to clear up room in the lower racks for larger pots and pans.
ProWash uses sensors to monitor the soil level of your dishes throughout the cycle. It automatically adjusts the wash time and water temperature in real-time to ensure a thorough clean without wasting water or energy on lightly soiled loads.
If the system senses water where it shouldn't be, it is designed to stop the cycle and alert you to the issue. This proactive feature helps prevent potential water damage to your cabinetry and kitchen flooring.
