The Latest Innovation in Dishwasher Technology.
- 4 novembre 2020[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This weekend I had the amazing experience of installing my new 2020 Whirlpool dishwasher. It is the brand new 2020 machine, built with a new technology which is called the "24 in. Top Control Built-In Tall Tub Dishwasher in Black Stainless with Third Level Rack".The new machine fits in the same slot as my old whirlpool machine (which never had a problem), but this machine looks and feels so much bigger than 2012 one: that is also an effect of the new technology. The Stainless steel tub is very nice and better for sanitization. Since the middle rack can be height adjusted, I am able to put very large and tall cooking pots on the bottom rack. I really appreciate the third rack which is on the top, where I can place all my silverware, tongs, and wooden spoons and save a lot of space for cups and plates on the other racks. A very well-engineered machine, built with all durable materials. .I have uploaded a video where you can better familiarise yourself with the machine, especially the control panel which has various settings the old ones did not have. The installation is pretty simple for a Do it yourself person. It might take less than an hour for one DIY person and for a pro it will take only about 15 minutes. A drain hose is included in the package. You need to buy a new water supply line and a power supply cable. I just love the new machine and enjoy its performance.

Great features for the price.
- 25 novembre 2022[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This appliance was a gift. I like the looks of the outside-sleek, modern and it matches our stove/oven that we got a few years ago-also Whirlpool. I really like the middle adjustable rack so I can fit larger dishes below-couldn’t with the dishwasher we replaced that’s 15+ years old & also Whirlpool, and to fit tall items on said rack. I use the quick wash cycle and heated dry so the cycle is about 1 1/2 hours long & dishes comes out perfect. I do still pre wash by hand some of the dishes before putting in the dishwasher, just habit. I ESPECIALLY like the top third rack for extra items. I like the features of the silverware basket and the adjustable tines on the lower rack. Everything, functions and features are great! The only downside is I tried to read the user manual but the instructions for use-pushing which buttons for which cycle were too general and not specific for my machine/model and too confusing to figure out. So I’ve just done trial and error to figure out which cycle I want to use and still trying to figure out how to resume the wash cycle when I open the door not long after starting to put something in. I like that the buttons for cycles are hidden away on top of the door. One of my favorite features is how quietly it runs, so WONDERFUL! Thanks for making an efficient, low noise, energy saving and nice looking dishwasher!

Solid, sensible quality and design
- 28 décembre 2024[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My lifetime first new dishwasher purchase, necessitated by the failure othe last (15+ years old). Installed it myself to help me get to know the unit, and I like it a lot! It's quiet and efficient and looks nice and cleans flawlessly and fits the space and caused no major headaches to deliver or install.

Not Impressed Would Not Buy Again
- 25 novembre 2025(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) We have been experiencing Drain problem error codes since the unit was installed. The Appliance Pros warranty technician further damaged our cupboards when he moved a drain line cupboard. The drain pump has now been replaced, but we still don't know if the problem has been resolved. The service technician - who has been at our residence twice - has been far less than thorough in investigating the error code problems, and seems to be in a hurry to leave our residence versus ensuring that the problem is resolved.

Quietest dishwasher ever
- 16 décembre 2022[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought this when our old whirlpool dishwasher broke. I was surprised it did not come with a power cord and we had to purchase one and my husband had to wire it. The installation instructions were terrible. We had to find videos to finish the install. Once we finally got through the installation and began using it. It was worth the trouble. It is extremely quiet and love the 3rd rack. Love how you can move the 2nd rack and other sections to fit dishes in. It is very large inside and holds many dishes in one load. I would recommend to a friend but would warn them about installation and the horribly written directions.

Best dishwasher out there
- 24 février 2021[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After researching several dishwashers I got this one, this was replacement to my old whirlpool which lasted for 20 years. It’s easy to stack large pots & vessels,love the separate spoon rack. We do lot of cooking, we run it every night. All Utensils come crystal clear after washing. It’s so silent and we barely hear the noise when it’s running, it won’t disturb you watching tv or doing zoom calls. Features like timers for late start , different kind of wash levels are very useful. Stainless steel interior makes it to look even better. This is the Best dishwasher out there with all features without breaking the bank Fixing the dishwasher was a breeze.

dishes not clean or dry
- 8 juin 2023[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased my dishwasher through Whirlpool and chose this model because it had heat dry and the other top rated washers all had complaints about wet dishes. My first washes used Heat Dry and the tub walls were wet as was the top 3rd rack. I have the rinse aid filled to the top and am following all directions. I was told it could be up to 2 weeks before your washer adjusted to the heat dry option. I just did another load last night and while the dishes were dry, 2 bowls loaded properly were dirty and the tub itself if wet and the third rack was dripping wet. My old Whirlpool never had a wet tub ever.

Great looking and functional dish washer.
- 5 mars 2021[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm amazed on how easy to install with the help of owner's manual. You will need to connect the power supply, hose fitting, drain hose and water supply line. I'm overall content with the functionality and high use its holding up to. The stainless steel is a nice finish. Push control button above the trim for easy control. We love it!

Great dishwasher with easy to clean filter
- 4 octobre 2024[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a few weeks ago and we absolutely love it. I love the space within the unit between the two racks and the top utensil rack is my favorite. My dishes come out obnoxiously clean, and the filter is so easy to clean as well.
