What Customers Are Saying
Customers praise the dishwasher's exceptionally quiet operation, sleek fingerprint-resistant design, and consistent cleaning performance, with dishes coming out spotless and dry. Many highlight the spacious three-rack interior with dedicated flatware bin and adjustable racks as major upgrades from older models. However, a substantial portion report serious durability concerns, including door leaks causing water damage, premature breakdowns after 18 months, and flimsy racks. Several customers also describe frustrating repair experiences with unresponsive technicians and delayed service. Despite strong appeal for quiet operation and cleaning power, reliability issues and service failures significantly undermine overall satisfaction.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I purchased this to replace my previous Cafe Series dishwasher which gave out only after 6 years. It was cheaper to replace than try to troubleshoot and repair motherboard. Everything went smoothly until we did our initial wash cycle. Everything was still dirty, so we tried everything to fix the issue from rinsing, to less detergent, used different detergent, to cleaning the trap every time, to running the hot water at the sink, so the cy...

Would Not RecommendStopped working correctly within 6 months of ownership. Top spray arm falls down every cycle. Even when it worked correctly, it never cleaned as well as you would expect. Often it took 2 cycles to completely clean everything.

Perfect dishwasher

Poor drying and false advertising.
Would Not RecommendNot happy. this was a replacement for my last Cafe dishwasher. Does not dry. Power Dry" replaces the Heated Dry button on models with this option. The "Power Dry" option can be added to any cycle but Rinse. "Power Dry" adds 65 minutes of drying time to the cycle. When the Clean light comes on, the fan will run for another 90 minutes or until the door is opened. "Power Dry" works differently on the Express Wash and eWash cycles: THERE IS NO FAN!

Buyers Remorse
Would Not RecommendI hand wash most of my dishes because that is easier than using this dishwasher. The spacing for the dishes does not accommodate cereal or pasta bowls. The fold down piece falls down on its own knocking over the dishes that were arranged. Rack pieces feel cheap and several have broken or bent.
