Know before you buy
This model operates at 44 dBA, which is quiet enough to run while you are in the kitchen or nearby living area without needing to raise your voice.
The third rack is designed for flat items like spatulas and measuring spoons, but the middle rack is adjustable. You can lower it to accommodate taller glasses or bowls when needed.
ProScrub® uses targeted spray jets at the back of the dishwasher to blast away stubborn, baked-on residue. It is specifically designed to eliminate the need for pre-rinsing your dishes.
The Advanced ProDry™ System uses a heating element and a fan to circulate air, which is significantly more effective at drying plastics than standard condensation-only drying methods.
ProWash™ uses sensors to measure soil levels throughout the cycle. It automatically adjusts the wash time and water temperature in real-time to ensure your dishes are cleaned efficiently without wasting resources.
Yes, the racks feature SatinGlide® Max Rails, which are engineered to move smoothly even when the racks are heavy with dishes, preventing the jerky motion common in lower-end models.
