Pros: None

Cons: Undersized replacement motor does not clean! Bad upper rack roller design.

Review: Replacement motor bought from Sear's parts was half the size of the original! No pressure, and doesn't clean the dishes without pre washing! This was an expensive dishwasher initialy, and I cannot believe they would gyp me so on a replacement motor! ...

Pros: Cleans well

Cons: Fancy door masking a poor quality Chinese dishwasher

The Bottom Line: A quality machine based on what you can see but everything that makes it work is a cheap import from China. 
Basically a Chevy Cavalier with a Mercedes hood ornament.

Pros: None

Cons: Just about everything...

Review: I hate this dishwasher and will NEVER buy another Kitchenaid product of ANY kind. This is the first and last K.A. product for me. Breaks all the time, won't clean, piece of ...
