What's great about it: Nice hose and cord
What's not so great: Needed adapter to fit copper tubing.
Did not have the package to return this expensive kit. Installer could not use the supply line because he did not have adapter. Looks like they would keep adapters if they are always needing one. He also did not use the new electric cord even though old wiring was 14 yrs old. Must be easier for them to just reconnect to old lines. Store should communicate with installers and not sell these with new dishwashers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Review 3 for Smart Choice Dishwasher Installation Kit with Power Cord
The basics are in the kit
Customer Rating

What's great about it: nothing
What's not so great: Horrible instructions; connections didn't work in a newer home.
We replaced out dishwasher with a new one using this kit. The directions are terrible - I found out what to do by talking to the guy at the hardware store where I bought the connections that were not included in the kit. The connections in the kit were useless and went in the garbage. The water hose and drain hose in the kit were too short so we had to buy connections to hook them in to the existing plumbing. We would have been better off buying separate parts from the hardware store.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This kit is missing one of the vital adapters to connect the hoses into common household water systems. Every kits sold at the big box stores has the adapter. this one doesn't - I had to make a trip to home depot to spend an extra $10 to resolve the problem.

What's not so great: Did not contain what it claimed to contain
I was told I needed to buy their dishwasher kit for $29.99 (SKU 6681708) and that it contained the parts needed to install the dishwasher I purchased. In fact the package of parts (by Smart Choice) says on its front, "Includes Everything To Connect Your Dishwasher To Your Waterline And Power Source." However, when the installer arrived (installer was chosen by Best Buy), he wanted an additional $80 to install a new water valve, not because the valve was leaking, but because it and the hose provided in the kit were not matching sizes. The kit did contain fittings, but (according to the installer) it did not contain everything I would need. Even though the new valve can be purchased at any hardware store from $8 to $12, and can be installed in a matter of a few minutes, the installer (Optima Service Solution of Southern California) would not accept anything less than $80.
I would recommend you make sure which type of fitting you need before buying the type of kit.

Of course you pay extra for this over the price of the DW. okay
BUT: installer nabbed me for an additional $40 to pay for a different hose!!!
SO: wanting to have the dumb thing installed, was forced to write a check to the plumbing co. installing. I think it was their way of collecting more $$ on the job. I reported this to BBuy= no answer or response!!!!

Poor

I was told I needed the kit since it contained the parts needed to install the dishwasher I purchased. However, while the kit did contain fittings,
it did not contain the type fitting which was needed to connect the hose to the waterline in my home since it is an "older" home.
I would recommend you make sure which type fitting you need before buying the kit.

What's great about it: Everything! Even the packaging!
What's not so great: I don't have more of them
What can I say? This dishwasher installation kit ROCKS! I have never used anything like it before! Such a time saver! It says it comes with a power cord and guess what, the power cord was inside the package! Awesome! Even the packaging and graphics are top notch! I absolutely love it and would recommend it to anyone! Well, anyone except Nigel Tufnel, because he just doesn't "get" this sort of thing.

What's great about it: Good quality and durable lines to guarantee an air tight seal at every connection
What's not so great: It's all good.
I must admit I am skeptical of items like this, as I had stainless steel lines running to my older dish washer. However, the salesmen said it is important as old lines don't always reconnect well. When I had these new lines installed, I had the workers show me my old lines. The lines were great, but the rubber seals within them had hardened and formed around the old dish washer fittings. I could see how they might leak had I ignored the advice. Now I can rest assured that my new dish washer has an air tight seal at every connection.
As for the lines themselves, these new ones seem of very good quality and durability. I see no problems with them, and would expect them to last as long as I have the new dishwasher connected. I would encourage a friend to use them with a new dishwasher installation.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review 14 for Smart Choice Dishwasher Installation Kit with Power Cord
Returned it
Customer Rating
2.0
What's great about it: Not sure, we returned it
What's not so great: Water line to short.
We bought this kit at the recommendation of the sales associate. My husband figured he wouldn't need it but we were told we'd need the power cord. Well our Bosch dishwasher came pre-wired and the water line was much to short to reach our outlet (which we figured out after almost completely installing the dishwasher) so my husband had to take the one off of the old dishwasher. I returned this kit to Best Buy yesterday with no problems.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's not so great: Price, Quality
I bought this along with a whirlpool dishwasher which I also bought from best buy. I purchased the dishwasher in the store so could not do the proper research on this installation kit. My first problem with the kit is that it is way overpriced (almost double the price for a similar kit which I got in HomeDepot). The second issue is that it claims to have all the connectors but it does not. I needed a particular connector to connect my water supply to dishwasher but none of the attachments provided in the kit worked. I had to ultimately buy the installation kit from HomeDepot which had the required connector. The third issue is the quality. One of the provided connector broke down as I was trying to tighten it.
So, overall I will say that it is a poor quality, overpriced installation kit which does not has all the connectors required.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought this kit 2 years ago along with a Frigidaire dish washer. Frigidaire dish washer broke recently and I bought a new GE dish washer. Unfortunately Best Buy will not let you reuse existing kit and forces us to buy a new kit. Hence it's a waste of money. Could use a cheaper brand and still outlast a dish washer.

What's great about it: good prize and very complete
What's not so great: Power cord shape could be a problem sometime
This is a great product I've used it for years I install an average of 100 dishwashers a month and never had a problem myself.
It's very complete it's made I believe by a name brand company which is Electrolux.

The kit claims to include all parts needed for a dishwasher installation. It did not include a drain hose clamp.
Also, the power cord wires are not color coded as the installation instruction claims.
