Product review (2 stars): Kitchen aid quality a thing of the past.
I started using this dishwasher on Nov. 1, 2012.  I did a complete gut and remodel of my kitchen, and used the cabinet panel option for the front of the dishwasher.  I have been married 29 years and I have owned 6 kitchen aid dishwashers.  From the moment I started using this unit I have had a problem.  WHEN you can get the unit to run, it does a superb job cleaning the dishes.  No matter how crusty, they come out sparkly clean.  It looks beautiful in my cabinet line up.  That is where the goodness ends.  I have already had a new touch pad and board put in, a reinstall to try and make the space from the door to rack ratio better, and now a new latch and catch are on order!!  I have used it less than two months!!  When you type in "Kitchen Aid dishwasher pops open during cycle" there are 428 reports of this since 2009!!  When you try and call Kitchen Aid corporate, the number listed is disconnected.  I am under warranty, so all of the repairs are being covered, however, from the posts I am seeing, it seems this unit is fraught with problems that only worsen over time.  I wish I would have read these reviews BEFORE I purchased this unit.  Do yourself a favor, DO NOT BUY A KITCHEN AID DISHWASHER!  This is advice from a nearly 30 year user of Kitchen Aid dishwashers.  The are made by Whirlpool and they are not good!
