Kitchenaid KUDE70FXSS Superba Series EQ Dishwasher

Love The Upper Utensil Tray
Our first d/w was a Maytag that cleaned very well. Unfortunately, in 2 years time we had to replace the latch handle twice, it was recalled because of a potential fire, and ultimately, the tub warped and we replaced it with this Kitchenaid.

Having done extensive research, there is no one d/w that everyone loves. That being said, Kitchenaid comes up as one of the brands that most people prefer. Why not go with a middle level Kitchenaid? Again, all the research I turned up said that it was necessary to go with the higher end in order to get better quality. The higher end uses a different drying and washing process than the mid-range.

Another consideration was that only the top two models have the third tray for utensils. Both my husband and the appliance salesmen minimized the importance of this feature. Having now had the d/w for a month, it's one of my favorite features. Because of food allergies and because we homeschool, we run our d/w four times a day...

Quiet dishwasher
This is the quietest dishwasher I have ever owned. We can run it while watching TV without any disturbance (our kitchen is open to the living room). It also gets dishes very clean. However, the drain pump went out after only 7 months of daily use. The warranty covered it but I was without a dishwasher for 2 weeks (by the time a service call was set up, then the part had to be ordered & took another week to come it). I am concerned that pump will go out again & the warranty will be expired.

I am not a fan of the 3rd shelf for small items. Tall glasses do not fit in the 2nd shelf because of that extra shelf & we rarely use that 3rd shelf. I finally pulled it out & keep it out. No need to pay extra for this feature.

ridiculously amazing
I had done a lot of reading about dishwashers when I decided to replace my Frigidaire Professional that came with my house. The Frigidaire never seemed to clean as we thought it should.

Long story short this is an amazing dishwasher. my mom cooked some lasagna we left the dish and merely put it into the dishwasher in front of the pot scrubbers. from caked and baked on sauce to perfectly clean. Trust me this is an amazing dishwasher and to top it off it is quiet. It also has a ton of room and a 3rd rack for small utensils.

you get what you pay for, buy it if it is in your budget.
