Impressive performance at a good price, July 9, 2009

As usual, I spent a whole lot of time looking for a replacement dishwasher. Looked at a lot of models, and narrowed the choices down to models from Whirlpool, Bosch and KitchenAid.

The high end Bosch and Kitchenaid models were great - read nothing but good things (for the most part) about their performance, and they are very, very quiet. But, cost was a factor, and I just couldn't see paying more than one grand for a dishwasher (and some are a LOT more than a grand!).

Looked into Whirlpool since they get excellent reliability ratings from the "consumer" magazine. This model caught my eye since it offered a fully-integrated panel (i.e., the controls are hidden) and some nice convenience features. So far, it has been a top-notch performer.

The pot-scrubber feature works very well, and is identical to the one on the Kitchenaid (not unexpected, since Whirlpool owns Kitchenaid). Love the movable cutlery basket! You can hang it on the door for more room, or put it on the front or side of the lower tray. If loaded properly, silverware comes out clean no matter where you put the basket. If, however, you tend to just toss in forks and spoons and not arrange them, you'll want to put the basket on the lower rack so it gets more direct spray time.

The interior is light gray with a tile-type pattern. It's plastic, so it's not as fancy looking as stainless. But, I care more about what the dishwasher looks like from the outside, and the stainless steel outside looks great. It also has a unique feature among hidden control models in that the steam vent is on the front of the machine, and not the top. That's important to keep the steam from hitting the bottom of your counters. Can't figure out why everyone else doesn't do it that way.

Many different cycles to choose from including regular, adaptive (which uses sensors to figure out what to do), high temp and sanitary rinse. Lots of nice little touches, such as fold-able tines and clips to hold light plastic items so they don't flip over during the wash cycle.

Noise levels are very low. No, it is not as whisper quiet as a higher end machine, but the sound level is not at all objectionable.

Excellent value - lots of features, works well, looks great, holds a boat-load of dishes, and has lots of convenience features. Can't ask for more than that!

Best Whirpool Dishwasher Yet, June 27, 2009

I have owned Whirpool dishwashers since my first home 30 years ago. The last one was 14 years old and never had a service call. When doing my remodel I was offered many high end units. Some costing $1300 to $1800. I looked at an Electrolux dishwasher that sold for $1300 . It had no hard food disposer and I would have to bend over to empty a messy screen. No Thanks! I found this unit and it blends in with all of the other kitchen appliances I have. It is as good as my last one. Quiet and cleans great.

This is the best Dishwasher Whirpool has made to date!

This a great washer!, February 1, 2009

We bought this washer and dryer about one month ago; my husband and I both work full time and we have a 15 month old - so I've done A LOT of laundry. They both work great and I'm very happy with the purchase! First of all they look fantastic, I know who cares what they look like they stay in the utility room and it's not like we invite company down there but they are just so lovely it actually motivates you to keep the whole room looking good. In addition, the pedestals (which are optional) give you room to store the detergent, fabric softener, bleach and more it's nice to have them put away and out of sight.

The washer has several automatic cycles: Delicate, Normal/Casual, Bulky items, Whitest Whites (those are the ones I've used) the whitest whites cycle is amazing, really. I've done most of my wash on Normal and it takes about 40 minutes for a large load to be done. And then, there's the dryer...completely dry in about 30. What a time saver!

Some reviewers complained about vibration in the spin cycle, but during install we made sure everything was level and haven't had a problem. We almost didn't buy the front loader because of the "moldy smell" problem some reviewers complained about...I've not experienced any of that and in an effort to negate any problem I've been running the clean washer cycle once a week - just a cap of bleach.

The steam option is wonderful - my son had been sick with the stomach flu and not to be graphic but we had a lot of vomity clothes; I ran everything through with the sanitize option didn't have a single stain, not even the red Gatorade.

I've used the steam on the dryer to take the wrinkles out of a sweater and it worked beautifully in 15 minutes. The dryer has a damp dry signal that is helpful with bulky items...you can just toss them around and they dry a bit quicker.

As an aside, the Tuscan Chestnut color is being discontinued - if you can find a set they are being deeply discounted. In short, I really love both the washer and dryer. Hope this is helpful!

Great Washer, November 11, 2008

I bought both the washer and dryer of this pair. The washer is great. I love the sanitize option. If you have ever left a load in too long and it spoiled, you'll love this feature. You can re-run the load with the sanitize option and the mildew smell is gone! This washer holds a lot and does a great job cleaning.

I was more excited about the dryer, but have changed to love the washer more than the dryer.

This machine uses less detergent, less water and cleans better...doesn't get much better than that!

It's a joy to do the laundry..., May 30, 2008

My son bought me this Washer and Dryer for Mother's Day and I love them. They do everything they claim in their advertisement.

The steam function on the dryer is awesome for freshening up clothes as well as non-washable items like drapes. The "Whitest Whites" cycle really does get the white wash clean with or without the use of any bleach. Also, this Washer uses very little detergent and only "He" Type detergent which is available at most grocery stores. It is amazing how clean the laundry gets with such a small amount of detergent. The dryer has a wrinkle shield function that keeps the laundry from getting wrinkled in case you forget or can't get to it as soon as it's dry. The washer has a sanitizing function that deep cleans and sanitizes the wash and there's a "Drain/Spin" function in case you want to spin the laundry drier (but it does an excellent job even on heavy loads). They handled a king-size comforter load and a load of my son's dirty, heavy work pants and hooded-sweatshirts with no trouble at all.

They can be stacked for space saving or they can sit side-by-side. If you do want to stack them, you'll need to buy a stacking kit but they are readily available and inexpensive and a door reversal kit for the dryer (the washer door is not reversible) is also available for purchase which is suggested when they are being stacked. There is also a Work Surface that can be purchased separately that makes the tops' a convenient place to fold and sort laundry. And there is a pedestal available too, which raises the height of the appliance.

This Washer and Dryer cost more than my previous washers and dryers but in the long run the amount that is being saved in electric, water, and detergent costs far outweighs the initial cost. I just can't say enough about how wonderful they work and the new brown "Tuscan Chestnut" color is a beautiful metallic brown color.
