KitchenAid Superba Dishwasher

Pros: It Gets my dishes and pots&pans sparkley clean! Easy To Use Panel.

Pros: Clean dishes with less effort.
Cons: Doesn't load itself.

In January of 2002, I couldn’t take my old Montgomery Wards Special any longer. We had purchased it new from a friend of my husband’s for $25.00. His wife bought it, never took it out of the box to be installed and decided she needed another on.
...

Pros: Every bowl and pot I own easily fit in the adjustable racks
Cons: Maybe too many whistles and bells?

Little did I suspect that when I bought my first KitchenAid Dishwasher that Winter of '96, I could never be happy with another brand ever again. I soon found out that my deepest regret in buying a new house was that that I didn't yank that...

Pros: efficient, different positions for top rack
Cons: not as quiet as the newer models

My KitchenAid dishwasher has been a blessing to me. It has handled everyday dishes of a family, and china used during Thanksgiving and Christmas festivities.

My KitchenAid is an older model but still has some of the same features that are...

Pros: Looks great, works better.
Cons: Strange looks from people when you kiss it. Slightly noisy.

When we set out to find/buy a dishwasher last year, my wife and I did so with great effort. We religiously read reviews, examined floor models, and cross referenced all competitors. For a while, I wondered if we would ever buy one! But, alas we decided...

Pros: Feature Full, Certified Sani-Rinse, Stainless Steel and QUIET!
Cons: Expensive, Inner workings harder to access for maintenance.

I have hated washing dishes since I was a little girl! Give me a business to run, bookwork, projects --- anything but dishes or cleaning refrigerators! My Thermador Dishwasher finally died, so I had a particular set of requirements when I went shopping...

Pros: Very quiet, washes extremely well. Worth the money.
Cons: It's not a European brand. Do you really care?

Last year, my old dishwasher went on the fritz (it came with the house and was 15 years old).

After doing much research in Consumer Reports, I happily trekked to my local appliance dealer and bought the Kitchen Aid Superba. This dishwasher was...

Pros: NSF Rating, adjustable shelves, cavernous interior, solid construction
Cons: Do-it-yourself wiring.

Summary: The stainless interior and NSF rating sold us, and we continue to be sold by its flawless performance.

The Whys of Dishwasher Buying

After moving into our used house in 1998, we discovered that most of the...

Pros: Quiet, Cleans dishes Great
Cons: None

I found my self wandering out to the kitchen in my PJ's and bunny slippers calling out to my husband " I think this thing is not working, I don't hear anything." Can you imagine? After living with a machine that sounded like the Express...

Pros: extremely quiet, efficient, and gets my dirty dishes clean
Cons: flatware basket could be larger

We bought a house last month, and for the last 4 weeks we've been upgrading, updating, and waving bye-bye to the previous owner's household nightmares. Those mint-green and peach round-bowl toilets? Out to the curb! Their shaggy grey, blue, and brown...

Pros: Durability, don't waste money on service contract.
Cons: Higher price than other lines.

In our current and previous two homes, we have installed Kitchen Aid Supurba dishwashers; over 20 years, we've never had to make a repair or service call of ANY type. These dishwashers have performed flawlessly, and most important, appear to be the...

Pros: Cleaning ability, tub design
Cons: Noisier than top-of-line models

I was eagerly awaiting the new 2001 model of the KitchenAid dishwasher. However, I was disappointed. I grabbed last year's KitchenAid model this week before they sold out. The newer model has a larger tub (24% larger); one look inside and I could...

Pros: Quiet, Quieter, Capacity, ability to clean, Sanitizing feature
Cons: larger door is a little harder to close.

After careful consideration of the Bosch, Fisher & Paykel, Meile, Asko and Maytag, we settled on the new KitchenAid Model KUDSO1DJSS. We got a good price (MSRP is $1229.00) on the unit ($889 with delivery, + tax), especially considering that most...

Pros: Excellent cleaning, very quiet, well built.
Cons: costs more, but is worth it

This is not an inexpensive appliance, but it stands tall in everything you want from a dishwasher.

For those of you who have read reviews of several dishwashers on this site, you may recall that I did a not so favorable review of a...

Pros: Very Effective at Cleaning. Quiet. Door Stays Open/closed by itself
Cons: Needed major repair after 5 years.

Update -- December 2006. Almost 5 years to the day after getting this machine the parts warranty ran out just slightly ahead of the dishwasher. Luckily, with faucet wrench and a couple of screw drivers I ws able to dismatle the filter and upper sump ...
