Really Cleans

GabLib 11/12/2019

I bought this to replace an old high end dishwasher that always left me with dirty dishes and silverwear. This Whirlpool is attractive, has a stainless steel tub aand does a fabulous cleaning job quietly and quickly. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. Whirpool is made in the USA!

Very quiet

S3122 11/8/2019

I bought my dishwasher a month ago I'm happy with it , but still trying to figure out how to load top rack. Also, the dishes dry throughly but for some reason the inside door stays wet. Once I unload I leave door open a little to dry.

Awkward Loading

Garrison3 6/8/2019

This machine's dish racks are too specialized as to the location of the dishes. It is like working a puzzle every time it is loaded.

washes great

#1Candymaker 2/6/2019

Was installed 1/4/2019 and it is the worst machine I have ever used. Putting dishes in is almost impossible. My 2006 Whirlpool dishwasher was great but I have gone back to washing my dishes by hand, my husband uses I, but not me. If you could have someone show how to use it that would be great.
