PrintShield™ Finish Resists smudges and fingerprints. The specialized coating for stainless steel is easy to clean with just water and a soft cloth, so you can spend more time cooking and less time cleaning up the kitchen.

ProWash™ Cycle Determines the ideal cycle for washing dishes based on soil level and then makes real-time adjustments to achieve the best cleaning performance.

Durable Stainless Steel Interior Offers the beauty and benefits of stainless steel for the dishwasher interior. It resists streaks, stains and odors while retaining heat to help improve drying performance.

Heat Dry Option Engages a recessed heating element during the dry cycle to ensure dry dishes.

SatinGlide® Max Rails (Upper Rack) Creates a smooth, premium feeling when pulling out the upper rack, particularly with heavy loads.

Fold-Down Shelf with Stemware Holders Provides extra room in the upper rack that's perfect for additional cups, wine glasses, or longer items like utensils and spatulas.

Filter-Based Wash System Provides exceptional cleaning and drying, with wash arms designed to send just the right water pressure to key areas of the dishwasher.

Sani-Rinse Option Heats the final rinse water to 155°F, eliminating 99.999% of food soil bacteria.

Express Wash Cycle Quickly and effortlessly handles soiled dishes in less time.

Extended Heat Dry Option Increases the cycle time for excellent drying performance.

2-4-8-Hour Delay Wash Allows you to set the dishwasher to start at a more convenient time.

Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Great Dishwasher and Great looks

Mikelgonz0 11/21/2019

I replaced my 17 year old KitchenAid dishwasher with this one, it's very nice, quite and cleans my dishes great! I love the drying cycle, makes all the difference. Glasses and plates come out sparkling. The ProWash cycle is all you need, even pots and pans. The Black Aluminum finish matches my other appliances and looks great.

Great Dishwasher for the Price

Voice of Reason 11/5/2019

This unit replaced a 3 year old Samsung that broke twice with the 2nd breakdown occurring after the warranty ran out. The KA unit is nice and quiet and gets the dishes clean when using Normal and Heavy modes. ProWash is good for dishes that are lightly rinsed before loading. One small thing it could use would be a countdown timer. My Samsung would tell you how many minutes were left in the cycle. KA could find a spot on the panel to put a timer in. Small quibble.

Angela425 8/15/2019

I bought this less than a month ago, I love kitchen aid products & appliances first & foremost, however- This dishwasher doesn't not fully dry my dishes. It's the main reason I bought it because the one that came in the house we bought didn't either. This drives me nuts! So, I purchased a higher brand & price just knowing this wouldn't be an issue... I was wrong ! Even after a cycle, not opening to unload for a couple hours, the dishes are still wet! Heartbroken I spent so much and to still have wet dishes .

It works great on greasy and dried on food. My plastic dishes come out just as clean as my glassware. Make sure you use a drying agent, it does make a difference.

46 DBA Dishwasher with ProWash

Roseypro 7/24/2019

I bought this a couple of months ago and can not believe how easy it was to install and the result of how quiet bit runs with outstanding cleaning results. My wife and I are very happy with our new dishwasher and would recommend this product to anyone. You do need to purchase the power cord and a part to fit on the water supply line that does not come with it. Was able to pick the part up at Lowes very reasonable.

Quiet - Run at Any Time

Maxr 7/22/2019

We are glad that we did not pay extra for a "quieter" dishwasher. Not many people know what is a quiet db value. Of course, the lower the better but 46 db is near silent. Payiing $200 for a 39 db unit is overkill. We are having to get use to the longer run cycles, but this unit can be started during prime time TV as we watch in the same so called "great room"

Texas Tink 7/4/2019

This dishwasher is very quiet and cleans really well. I usually rinse my dishes before putting them into the dishwasher but decided to test out the instructions which said no need to rinse. The dishes sat for a couple of days before there was a full load. I was surprised that they did all come out clean. One of the best dishwashers so far that I've owned.

Soooooo quiet!

Sugarbaker 6/9/2019

I have to check to see if it is running. So quiet. I am very pleased with my purchase. Dishes come out dry and clean. Some water may gather on plastics,but that is to be expected. I have had a Kitchenaide mixer for 20 years now. Never once has it failed me. I am a Baker. I use it a lot. I also purchased a food processor with all the attachments. It cuts things faster than I can get it in there. Cuts my prep time in half. Everything is easy to assemble and clean. I have an ice cream attachment that goes on my mixer. Love it. Plan on buying more in the future. I want to have all Kitchenaide appliances someday. Will not purchase until I have to, but will choose this brand over all the rest. Keep up the great quality.

EdgarF 5/29/2019

I had to wait a couple of weeks to receive it (special order) and a week or so for plumber to install it. It replaced a 13 year old kitchenaid washer and what a difference. Extra quiet and dishes come out dry and shining.

A great dishwasher

Georgie -girl 5/4/2019

When we added the addition on our home in the late 70's one priority was that I wanted was the plumbing and electrical wiring put in so I could have a dishwasher. My first dishwasher was a KitchenAid and it lasted a long time. So when I needed to replace mine there was no question that II wanted another KitchenAid. I love my new dishwasher and all the features and different cycle choices I like being able to delay the start if I want to. I got the black front on door panel because my refrigerator, and strove are black too so it makes my kitchen look nice. Thanks for making a great quality dishwasher
