Works well, takes off heavy grime or food, it's quiet good features

This dishwasher does a superb job of cleaning dishes. My crusty casserole dishes are completely clean even without using the pot-scrubber feature. I use the heated drying feature and everything is completely dry. I don't rinse my dishes before loading, no need to. It holds a very big load, too. Even my tall glasses that I always had to hand wash before. When minor design changes are made I would recommend making the handle for the silverware tray curved or rounded because water will lay on the flat handle. I just soak the water up with a sponge before unloading. I researched for months before I purchased this dishwasher and I am happy with my choice.

This is a great dishwasher. I have really hard water where I live and this dishwasher has solved all of my problems and made my glass wear sparkle. My dishwasher is a little over a year old and the wheels on the racks are beginning to squeek a bit. I feel like Kitchenaid needs to promote this dishwasher more. None of the major appliance box stores had this one and I went to a builders supply store and even then the salesperson did not think that Kitchenaid made a dishwasher with softner in it. I had done the research but many people just go to the nearest store and buy something. My son plans on purchasing one for his home in the near future. Great product. Let's keep manufacturing it.
