What's great about it: everything
What's not so great: would like the door to lock
This dishwasher replaced a 13 year old unit and me! My top considerations were noise level, a top rack wash spinner, and a chyild lock. All features included and very easy to use. As for the noise level compared to this unit (55db), I am guessing that my old unit was about 80-90 db!!! I used to turn the TV up about 30% to hear it over the old unit. I did not realize how loud it had become. The 1st time I used the new unit, I actually could turn the TV down. The delay feature is also great. I fill the dishwasher after dinner, set the delay for 2 or 4 hours, and in the morning the dishes are done, clean, and dry. After a month of almost daily use, I am very pleased with this unit !!!
This product is... Convenient for time-delay, Great for pots & pans, Quiet, Designed to save time and water, Well-matched to my appliances, Easy to load adjustable racks, Able to deliver spotless dishes, convenient, nice with the control lock for little kids

What's great about it: Quiet and efficient
This is as great dishwasher. I bought it because I was tired of dealing with a dishwasher that wouldn't get my flatware clean. In fact, because of all the years I have been stuck with the piece of garbage that they put in the house to have a dishwasher in it, I had to wash all the flatware by hand before trying to wash it in the new one just to get all that stuff built up on it from the old one. After that, I haven't had to wash the same flatware over and over. It gets it clean along with the dishes the 1st attempt. It's also very quiet. You can't even hear it running unless you are standing right next to it.
This product is... Convenient for time-delay, Good for delicate dishes, Quiet, Designed to save time and water, Well-matched to my appliances, Able to deliver spotless dishes, Great at drying dishes

What's great about it: It was within my budget and does a good job at cleaning.
I have just had the dishwasher installed and have used it only once. The dishes came out squeaky clean and that was on the eco wash. Very pleased.

What's not so great: Leaves residue
I have had this dishwasher for 5 years. After the first year it went downhill fast leaving spots and grit and grime. I have had it serviced twice for leaking and just stopping. I have to wash my dishes before I wash my dishes. Especially glassware. I haven't had the cash for a new one but as soon as I do I will be buying anything but this one. This machine has been on life support for 3 1/2 years. I should have just junked it.
This product is... useless

What's great about it: Easy to operate
What's not so great: Drying 100%. It's real close but not 100%
Only thing I don't like is the fact that it does not dru the dishes completely. Always moisture on inside of door and some left on the dishes. Other than that. I think it works great. Perfect for the Price.

What's great about it: Cleans dishes very well and quietly.
What's not so great: It doesn't install itself. :)
We have been using this dishwasher for two months now, and we are totally happy with it. Before purchasing I looked at online reviews, along with a well known publication that tests products. Whirlpool gets very good reviews, especially considering the price. They did as well as others that were up to twice as much money! This specific model was not tested, but it is the successor to models that were testing in the various locations that I read.
It is labeled as quieter then previous models, and that is true. It runs very quiet in my opinion. We can be sitting in the next room and barely hear it. One thing that, I believe, contributes to this is that there is no hard food disposer. Do not let this keep you from looking at this model! First, a hard food disposer is not a true disposal (think under the sink). Many are little more then a piece of metal that spins around on the pump. Second, enzymes that are used in any decent dishwasher detergent are designed to break up food particles anyway. I was concerned because the previous generation models had the hard food disposer, and many of these do not. I have not had trouble at all with food particles, and we are typically do not rinse dishes. They recommend cleaning the filter every month, and its not been needed at even two months. I just make sure to check it before I run a load through.
The silverware basket is very nice. I wondered if it would work well on the door, compared to being in the lower rack. It has worked very well. It gives you all the space of the rack for dishes, and does have features to help keep your silverware from nesting together. In our case, we could not use those. The silverware handles were too big. But, it easily swings up and out of the way if you do not use it. Even without those we have had very little trouble with silverware nesting. They get very clean. The only possible issue, that I have seen, is that you have to make sure you put larger items, like spoons that you use for cooking, over to the right side of the door. This is a precaution to make sure they do not get in the way of the detergent door. But thats a normal precaution with plates, etc. anyway for most people.
Many people complain about the length of time the new dishwashers run, and its true that they run a lot longer. This isn't the manufacturers fault. New regulations require more efficiency. To do this the dishwashers have to use less water and make due with less phoshates in the detergent. Part of the answer is running longer cycles and having some "breaks" to allow the detergent to do its job. The motors are higher efficiency as well, so you get a benefit of using less water AND electricity. But it does run longer. So expect this from any new dishwasher you buy.
If this model meets your requirements feel confident that it will meet your expectations. We have been very happy. I hope this helps!

What's great about it: Best dishwasher for the price
What's not so great: Utensil holder is a little awkward but they sure do get clean
Does a great job washing dishes and utensils. The utensil rack is different but it keeps the utensils separated and even washes off dried food. Large tub with plenty of room and the top rack can be adjusted up and down. It does take longer to wash but all new dishwashers are like that for increased energy savings.
The previous model was rated a best buy by Consumer Reports for price/performance. The new model is even better in my opinion. It certainly is a lot better than my old GE washer which cost a lot more when new.
It was delivered right on time and they tool the old one away. I would definitely purchase this washer again. Thank you Best Buy!

What's great about it: quiet, cleans great.
What's not so great: not as much room for utensils.
I have been very happy with this dishwasher so far. The only thing I wish is that the utensil holder was a little wider. The dishwasher itself is large and fits lots of dishes, but our utensils fill up too fast. It's performed very well the month that we've had it and we use it either daily or every other day.

What's great about it: Less noisy
What's not so great: Lack of "Air Dry" option
I have been using the dishwasher for about a month. It is very quiet- less noisy than I expected. There are various options for washing and drying, however there is no option for "Air Dry" which my previous dishwasher had. I like this option since it dries the dishes without using any heat. Unfortunately I am missing this option. The spoon rack can be placed anywhere- a good feature.
