Customer Reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by Spider50 from Great dishwasher and great looks. I bought this dishwasher to replace one I had for sixteen years and what a difference. This dishwasher is a lot quieter and uses a lot less water. The dishes come out sparkling clean I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

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 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.

Rated 1 out of 5 by It's a lemon from Great at first but stopped working after 2.5 years I bought this new and it worked well in the beginning. I began noticing that I'd run a cycle and the dishes wouldn't get cleaned and the detergent pod wasn't dissolved and chalked it up to a faulty detergent pod. I soon realized that the dishwasher wasn't pumping water into the machine. Of course I'm now out of warranty and having whirlpool come out and fix it will cost more than the dishwasher cost to purchase 2.5 years ago. I don't feel that a dishwasher should just stop working after such a short period of time and feel there must be a defect in the machine as normal wear and tear from being used ~1 per week shouldn't cause it to stop working.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Dishwasher Blessing We have a rental home in another state. We bought this dishwasher when the old dishwasher in the home failed. The price was reasonable, the reviews were favorable and a saleswoman also spoke highly of Whirlpool appliances overall. Our renters are so pleased. They like the cleanliness of their dishes and also the quiet running cycle of the dishwasher in operation. In addition, they love the style. It is perfect match with our kitchen and their refrigerator. We appreciate knowing we can have a good appliance as a service to our renters, and also the confidence in a product that will last many years. Thank you for your commitment to excellence.
