Product review (5 stars): The BEST dishwasher ever!
This is THE BEST dishwasher I have ever had - and I have had many over the years. This dishwasher is so quiet I have to put my ear against the front panel to make sure it's running! And the cleaning is awesome! I put the most baked on baking dishes, crusty glasses and utensils in, and they come out squeaky clean! The power scrub jets at the rear of the bottom rack really do the job. And there are two areas in the top rack with extra jets for those extra dirty glasses. I love the 3rd tray on top to put extra large ladles and other odd-shaped utensils. I'm using Cascade Platinum detergent, which is also a cleaning factor. To me, it doesn't make sense to have to wash dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. If that's the case, then they should just be washed by hand instead of wasting money, water, and electricity, on a dishwasher. So this KitchenAid dishwasher is the best one for me. No more hand washing - and the dishes come out cleaner than when I used to wash by hand! Just load the dishwasher, start it, and I'm done!
