Customer Reviews

Rated 3 out of 5 by Fishsmom from Disappointed I bought this about a month ago. I was very excited to have a Whirlpool as I have had such good luck with the brand in the past. I am disappointed with my new dishwasher. It will not dry my dishes unless I open the door as soon as the cycle finishes. My house is very humid to start with and this adds to the humidity problem. Cannot leave the silverware rack in the door....have to dry them because the water runs down the door and keeps them wet. Doesn't hold as many dishes as my old cheap one because it won't clean unless there is only one layer of dirty dishes. You also HAVE to use Jet Dry! The positive thing is that it is quiet!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from So much more than I expected! I purchased my dishwasher about a month ago. I hired someone to install it. The first time I used the machine my mother was standing next to the machine and I mentioned that it was on and we both commented on how quite it was. The machine has many different cycles, the sensor wash works well and it drys plastic adequately. I like that it has a removable permanent filter and that the rack is large enough to accommodate large items even on the Top rack. I am very happy with my purchase and best of all the price after installation was cheaper than some of the premium brands without installation! This is why I keep buying whirlpool dishwashers!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Outstanding dishwasher, great value We bought the Whirlpool dishwasher to replace an older dishwasher. After looking at just about every dishwasher made, and all the different features as well as prices, we found that the Whirlpool had many of the features found only in higher priced machines. Since installed, we just love it! Not only is it full of great features, but it so much quieter (even though model we chose did not have the lowest noise rating) than our old dishwasher. And the racks are so roomy, and convenient. And so far, we've found this Whirlpool cleans even the heaviest of cleaning jobs with ease. A great product, and even made in the USA! Keep it up Whirlpool!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Diane, working mom of 2 teenagers from Great Dishwasher! We bought this dishwasher a few months ago to replace a 20 year old Whirlpool dishwasher that finally gave out, and are very happy with our purchase. As long as you follow manufacturer's instructions (clearly states to use a rinse agent), all functions work as expected, and it does a great job in cleaning! Our dishes are clean and dry, and are not 'wet' which I've read on other reviews. We have well water, with a whole-house filtration system and a water softener. Must say the dishwasher looks very nice in our kitchen as well - thanks for the design Whirlpool! Love that this dishwasher is quieter that the one we replaced as well!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Flexible This is a good dishwasher for a good price. It gets the dishes clean. It has a cycle to please everyone, it seems. These include water savers that take a long time, short cycles that use more water, and cycles that will sterilized dishes with ultra hot water. The flatware tray is easy to remove and replace. It is very quiet, really hard to hear. My only gripe is that it has not audible signal in the short cycle to let you know it is done. I like to open the dishwasher when it is done to let the dishes air dry, but it is hard to tell when the cycle I use is over. It would be nice if there were a buzzer or some other audible signal.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Mummfer from So far so good Since there was an issue with installation, due to my kitchen floor, I had to wait an additional week from delivery, for installation to be completed. So I am just now getting to try the different features on my new dishwasher. So far, I am happy with the dishwasher. It is really quieter than I expected. Having not had an opportunity to try the various wash cycles etc, theres not much else to say. (Unfortunately, your rating survey forces me to answer things that I do not know about yet) I would have skipped sever al of the ratings if I could. Check back with me in a few months and I will be able to give you a more thorough review.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great Dishwasher My old dishwasher lasted 23 years, then it died abruptly. I've had good luck with Whirlpool stoves and refrigerators so this was my preferred brand when I started shopping for a new dishwasher. I like the features it offers for the price. I only run my dishwasher once or twice a week and I didn't need 15 wash cycles to choose from. Does a great job washing and it's very quiet. I knew it would be quieter than my old one but I was surprised at how quiet it actually is. So far, I'm very pleased. My only (minor) complaint is a lack of progress indicators - a timer or lights showing at what stage it's in would be nice. But very pleased nonetheless.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great price Great Dishwasher I bought this dishwasher a few weeks ago. I host large family/friends meals and was tired of a couple of us always spending our visiting time doing the dishes.Although we would have great dish washing conversations the years of hosting, cooking most of the meal and then doing the dishes was getting to be too much of a chore. I love my dishwasher. Even having to do two loads is acceptable. The price was reasonable. It cleans very well. I have tried all but the sani cycle. It uses very little water.It was so wonderful to have "Whirly" do the dishes so everyone was able to relax after supper. I am looking forward to more family and friend get togethers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sunnydee123 from Nice quiet machine Feel like the insides might be a bit smaller than my other Whirlpool but I LOVE how quiet it is. Have only had it for a month now and since we're just moving in and have all that noise around us, I've honestly forgot we were even running it. Not thrilled with "stainless". Its my first try with stainless and I love the look OTHER THAN the fact it seems to show every little touch, water drip, etc. I'm picky about cleanliness but hoping I get over the fact the kitchen looks very "lived in".....haha it. Whirlpool products have always done well for us in the past so decided to keep up the tradition and update the look with all stainless.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from Disappointed Unfortunately I did not compare this dishwasher to others at the store. Had I done so I would have purchased a different one. I am pleased that it is quiet while operating, but very dissatisfied that the machine does not drain all the water out and not all cups or China is dry. The operation takes much longer then my 10 year old whirlpool did. Unfortunately the electronics went out on my old one and a new board would have cost over $250. Sad to say my mistake. The door does not latch,you have to push it to close and pull hard to open. Old Whirlpool type was a latch and easy to use. At least it matches my other beige appliances.
