Customer Reviews

Rated 1 out of 5 by Anonymous from Can’t Clean Glasses! I bought this unit a couple years ago for my first house and then moved for a year. I moved back and remembered that this thing had never been able to clean my glasses, leaving a nasty looking film on them, no matter what detergent I use. I even ran every cycle as a test to justify replacement. I got a new job that got me 50% off of a $1,500 Bosch dishwasher, so I’m replacing this one. Super, super disappointed. After all of the research, Whirlpool was supposed to be one of the top. My Whirlpool oven can’t even self clean. One day I’ll have a full Bosch kitchen. No more American made garbage. I should’ve known, it’s just like cars.

Rated 5 out of 5 by dowx from Very nice dishwasher Bought it about a month ago and it's super quiet - can't even tell its running. cleans dishes really well and it feels like it holds way more dishes than it looks like it should. like the removable utensil holder as it makes it easy to take out and to drawer to empty. overall nice design, features and looks great.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Monsieur Kirby from Caused stainless steel flatware to rust This dishwasher has a tray on the door for utensils. It's a cool feature, because it provides more room for dishes. However, I quickly noticed that all my utensils doesn't wash completely clean when placed in this tray. With heated dry, they also don't dry completely. In fact, I'm noticing rust on my stainless steel flatware because they just aren't being dried properly. It's bad enough that a dishwasher fails to properly clean dishes and utensils, but it's even worse, now that it's ruining my flatware. This isn't my first Whirlpool appliance that's provided me underwhelming performance, but it might just be the worst so far.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Jumoke from Defective, Defective, Defective I had this delivered a week ago and it nearly flooded my basement. I bought it online through Home Depot's site, and originally thought the installation is what made it leak through my wood floors to my basement. But after the technicians came back to my house yesterday, they found out the machine was defective and took pictures of the broken parts.. Now I have welped wood floors, and sagging paint on my basement ceiling -- in my newly renovated house that I just bought 2 years ago!!.. I was told that someone will come out to replace the dishwasher and repair my basement ceiling and floors.. We'll see..

Rated 5 out of 5 by Mrs. Moose from Finally, CLEAN dishes This is seriously the best dishwasher I have ever owned. I am surprised every time I open the door. I can't thank my husband enough for buying this for me. Before I got this dishwasher I would have to literally scrub every piece of food off of each dish that I would put in to my old one. Then I would have to scrub off sediment when they came out and polish so many spots off of all of the dishes. With this new Whirlpool dishwasher, I don't have to do a thing. I could put caked on dishes right in and when they come out they are sparkling clean. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! Now that I'm not continually scrubbing dishes, I actually have time to cook.

Rated 1 out of 5 by tbujko from Disappointing is an understatement Don't waste your money buying this dishwasher. I bought it and less than a year later it sits in my kitchen useless as I am handwashing my dishes. It won't complete the wash cycle, won't wash the dishes, won't dissolve the detergent pod. I regret buying this dishwasher every single day. There is nothing about this product that is worth spending a penny on. I now use mine to store dishes that I don't use as often as others. So if you are looking for something that will be functional for more than a year for the intended purpose of washing dishes look at a different product because this dishwasher will leave you with dishpan hands and regret.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Junebug 2011 from Small Tiny Sounds I love trying to Listen to see if my dishwasher is on! That's just how quite it is! My previous one, you knew the minute you turned it on...It cleans very well but the Best of it all is the large capacity baskets. I can get my large stemware in the TOP standing up straight...NO MORE LEANING! There are only two of us in the house but I have club meetings and being able to fill it up with no worries is just so wonderful! Its just a great machine! The under handed handle is good when you are opening the door and I really enjoy being able to move the door silverware basket from inside the door to the bottom basket when needed. I don't mind loading the silverware any more!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Bryma from I miss my old dishwasher! This dishwasher is okay. I mean, it’s better than washing dishes manually, but my old one did a much better job of both washing and drying the dishes. Also, the bottom rack often falls off the track super easily. I thought having the silverware bin in the door would be nice, but it’s not easy/convenient to put in and take out. Even though this dishwasher was more expensive than my last, it seems much more cheaply made too. We did have it serviced to be sure that the dryer is working properly, and it is functioning as expected. Apparently this is a major complaint of whirlpool dishwashers.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Anonymous from Hot and Cold I purposely bought a another whirlpool simply for the silverware basket in the front. I think that makes a lot of sense, and that was not a choice in most brands. However, I was, and still am disappointed at the drying abilities of this dishwasher, especially for the plastic dishes. I am careful to load it properly, and I use a dying agent (although I wish I didn't have to), but everything is still wet! I usually have to leave the door open all night to have it be dry by morning. I would expect a better drying system, or at least a separate heat cycle so I could re-dry everything (a previous dishwasher had that featured and I loved it!)
