    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jan 17, 2005
    Pros: Quiet, cleans well, flexible racks
    Cons: No delay start.

    Summary: My 5 year old GE gave up the ghost so I needed a new unit. After much research, I decided on Kitchenaid for the way its made. Strengths *Stainless steel interior means no cracks or stains. *Very good insulation, basically a mastic applied to ... read more

    Pros: Brushed Stainless interior, good control template, solid construction, spacious, quiet operation, hi temp wash, mini-disposer.
    Cons: No delayed start.

    Summary: We're getting divorced and selling the house. There's not a lot that we agree on, but we're both keen on this. The stainless steel interior, KitchenAid reputation for quality, and simple design attracted us to this model. There are only a few ... read more

  • Great expectations - A little disappointed

    Apr 27, 2005
    Pros: Quiet, stainless interior, good value compared to the competition
    Cons: EXCESSIVE time to complete cycle, dishes not as 'sparkling' clean as desired.

    Summary: Decided to spend a little more money this time so I would be happy with a longer lasting dishwasher. I owned a kitchenaid several models ago and was very happy. It finally expired after almost 20 years. I have to say that this Kitchenaid has me wondering ... read more

    Pros: Stainless steel interior nice. energy saving dry good
    Cons: Noisy, bad service, company unresponsive

    Summary: Less than a year ago I purchased the dishwasher. The stainless interior was turning black and everything was coming out terrible. The service rep came many hours after the time zone given (I brought this to the attention of KitchenAid). He could not ... read more

    Pros: Value, convenience, efficiency, quality, silence, Aesthetics, simplicity
    Cons: difficult to install

    Summary: I know dishwashers and I am in love. This is the lowest price you are going to find for a stainless interior, which I think is the best thing you can do for yourself and your dishwasher if you are willing to put up the cash. First, it wont stain, ... read more

  • Only lasted 5.5 years

    Rated Show by the Epinions community

    Pros: Quiet, reliable, spacious & easy to load/unload, usually did a good job
    Cons: It gave out at 5.5 years - too early in my book.

    Summary: I loved our Kitchenaid dishwasher and am very upset that the element corroded and the motor died just 6 months after the part warranty gave up. I bought the dishwasher new and am now faced with paying over $500 to get it repaired, or buy a new one.

  • It's the worst.

    Feb 3, 2007
    Pros: Looks nice
    Cons: everything: noisy, doesn't clean

    Summary: I've had four or five dishwashers in the past, all of which worked so much better than this. It's loud and doesn't clean. You must rinse dishes first and forget about putting in anything that has a hint of butter or any kind of fat in without using

  • Very Impressed

    Pros: easy to use, QUIET, very effective, easy to install, removable silverware rack
    Cons: bottom shelf plastics may melt when drying, silverware may not be completely clean when overfilled

    Summary: After researching (epinions included) and asking current dishwasher owners their recommendations, we opted for KA. We chose it over the BOSCH and have not been disappointed. I consider myself fairly handy and installed it with an off the shelf dishwasher

  • This Dishwasher stinks!

    May 15, 2006
    Pros: Looks ok
    Cons: Does not work for long and cost a fortune to use their repair service.

    Summary: I bought the Kitchenaid KUDI01TJWH0 dishwasher from a reliable Appliance dealer. Just after the warranty ran out it stopped working. I called Kitchenaid for advice. They pushed me off to their "authorized repair service". I called for an

    Pros: Attractive, but so are many others
    Cons: Does not clean well enough, louder than expected

    Summary: After reading some stellar reviews on this DW, I was excited to get it. Unfortunately, it does not clean nearly as well as my 20 year old DW did. I frequently will put silverware or dishes right back in to go through a second time. And I'm amazed at

  • We had a lemon

    Pros: Uncommonly quiet, intuitive controls, efficient cleaning, good rack space. Beautiful to behold in stainless finish.
    Cons: Unusually prone to electrical malfunction - you will need the extended service warranty.

    Summary: Yes, very quiet and very efficient - when it worked. Ours experienced electrical problems three times, necessitating the replacement of the entire panel of controls, and each time with 1-2 weeks downtime until service arrived. Never again Kitchenaid -

    Pros: Inexpensive, easy to service, solid, attractive, quiet, better tray layout and cleans well.
    Cons: Haven't found any (yet)

    Summary: My 5 1/2 year old Bosch went down again for the 8th time, but no longer carries a parts warranty. I was not going to put any more money into that lemon, and opted to go with the Kitchen Aid. I was pulling for the more expensive models, but my supplier

    Pros: Great value, quiet, very clean dishes
    Cons: No delay start

    Summary: We bought this dishwasher after extensive research. It is an outstanding purchase. We can run it any time day or night and not have to shout over its noise. It uses significantly less detergent than our old Kenmore, and gets dishes significantly

    Aug 13, 2004
    Pros: Easy to use, cleans very well, holds a lot of dishes and cutlery, quiet
    Cons: no delay timer but not too big a deal as it is very quiet

    Summary: After looking at several different dishwashers and reading the reviews available (on the internet and in the Consumer Report guide), we decided to take our chances with this KitchenAid dishwasher. Our primary concerns were cleaning performance, loading

  • It's OK but I miss my Maytag

    Rated Show by the Epinions community
    Jul 22, 2004
    Pros: Reasonably quiet, Stainless Steel Interior
    Cons: No delayed start, washing ability nowhere near my old Maytag's

    Summary: Before my Kitchenaid I had a Maytag dishwasher that was wonderful. It had great features like delayed start, a digital display that counted down the time left, "Sanitized" setting, and an optional extra rinse. It also cleaned outstandingly well. When I
