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 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 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!)

Rated 5 out of 5 by Doctor Dave from Best we've ever owned This dishwasher was an emergency buy when our old one stopped running. The dishwasher came with a drain hose and electrical connectors. I had to purchase an intake hose ($15) and a granite mounting kit ($10). The plastic tub made it light (no more than 50 pounds) and easy to transport myself in my small SUV. As a result, I saved $230 on delivery and installation.The dishwasher cleans better than anything that I've owned before and runs very quietly. We've had it on with company over or while watching TV in the next room and didn't even notice the sound. I'd recommend this product to anyone and it's a super deal with the self installation.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Suits our requirments We are only two people in our houshold so the smaller size of this dishwasher is a good thing for us. It is quieter than expected as the rating has it as being a louder machine. I really like the feature which allows the utensil bin to be moved to different locations. I had read reviews stating that the dry cycle is poor. This didn't matter to our purchase as we always air dried. We are glad the dishwasher's features allows one to chose the option of air drying. No more watching the machine to shut it off before the dry cycle! I rated this dishwasher four stars since it was a GREAT PRICE and fit our life style and family size so well.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Volts123 from Awful Diswasher We bought this about a year ago. It has been a disappointment from the beginning. The dishwasher is poorly designed. Very hard to put the number of dishes we used to fit in the Maytag unit we replaced. The dishes do not dry. have to dry them by hand. We had the service rep. come out and he told us that it was due to the dishwashing detergent brand we used. We started using the brand but no improvement. Now the dishwasher won't even wash the dishes clean. Needless to say we are disappointed with the performance. We wrote to the customer center but they did not even respond to us. If you are looking for a good dishwasher don't get this model.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Quiet ! Easy to use. Quiet. Make sure you use the rinse aide. Does make a difference. Trying to update my kitchen and the stainless steel with the black looks great! Tip I was told: to clean use Windex and a clean cloth only. This avoids soap build up and streaks. When I turn on the machine I have to stand and listen because it is so quiet. Takes a little longer to wash but I don't mind. The light does not go off when clean until I hit cancel so there is no question whether I ran the machine or not. I like that I can move the silverware holder to different locations in the machine. Bought on sale with 6 mos no interest so cost was really worth it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from good performance for the price Owned this for a month.What I like: cleans dishes very well; low water consumptionCons: Realizing this is a basic machine, here's what you might want to know: Don't like the silverware basket - very narrow which cuts into capacity. Having it attached to the door makes loading/unloading less convenient. I've kept the silverware basket from our old machine and will use those when needed. Does not indicate how much time remaining in cycle or at what stage of cycle it is currently at. Noise: so-so, there's low frequency hum from motor, plus water splashing sounds that are quite audible. Quieter than our old machine, but by no means quiet.
