Kitchenaid KUDE70FXSS Superba Series EQ Dishwasher Review
Kitchenaid KUDE70FXSS Superba Series EQ Dishwasher Review by Shannon S. "Mom of two" (Sacramento, CA)
This washer cleans amazingly well and is super quiet. I love the upper tray, but do wish you could put smaller bowls in the top rack. Still, the fold down shelves on the top tray are handy to keep light/short items from flying about (because the jets are strong!). My only real complaint is that the door sometimes won't close and you have to notice this and it usually seems to be because the top tray isn't pushed in all the way. It's not obvious, so it's annoying. Otherwise this washer runs and performs like a dream. The only time it leaves food on the plates is if they've been sitting in the washer for days with food on them before we run it. I'm confident I can put dirty (food covered) dishes in it and run it immediately and they'll be sparkling clean.

Our first d/w was a Maytag that cleaned very well. Unfortunately, in 2 years time we had to replace the latch handle twice, it was recalled because of a potential fire, and ultimately, the tub warped and we replaced it with this Kitchenaid.
Having done extensive research, there is no one d/w that everyone loves. That being said, Kitchenaid comes up as one of the brands that most people prefer. Why not go with a middle level Kitchenaid? Again, all the research I turned up said that it was necessary to go with the higher end in order to get better quality. The higher end uses a different drying and washing process than the mid-range.
Another consideration was that only the top two models have the third tray for utensils. Both my husband and the appliance salesmen minimized the importance of this feature. Having now had the d/w for a month, it's one of my favorite features. Because of food allergies and because we homeschool, we run our d/w four times a day. I need every bit of space available for larger items. By using the upper utensil draw, I can place more items in the bottom drawer.
As I mentioned, I cook a great deal and use a 12 quart stock pot about once a week. I was concerned about being able to fit it in this d/w. Our previous Maytag was a tall tub and had a very large clearance from the bottom rack to the sprayer. No problem with the Kitchenaid.
There are several different options of cleaning cycles, and I do find myself using them. There's even an option for a shorter wash cycle. It's just as efficient, just not as energy-conscious. I haven't used it yet, but am thrilled to know it's available.
As everyone mentions, it's quiet as a whisper. I can talk on the phone right next to it with no problem.
When researching, I did turn up some concern over the side venting of the door. Have to say that our install left the vent just outside the cabinetry. No problems whatsoever.
If you do a great deal of cooking, this is the dishwasher for you!
Kitchenaid KUDE70FXSS Superba Series EQ Dishwasher Review by Happy Wife (Valrico, FL United States)
I purchased this unit to replace my 15 year old Maytag that worked wonderfully till it's water pump gave out. I assumed I should replace the unit instead of the pump. I realize newer Maytag's are not built like the old ones - but that seems to be true of all new appliances. Too bad I can't get the old one back. Don't know if I could have found the replacement pump though.
After researching for weeks and relying on reviews and Consumer Reports. It came down to a decision between top of the line Bosch and KitchenAid. I ended up selecting this model, despite the fact that it cost almost double, becuase I live in a humid area - Florida - and I wanted the machine to dry well and the Bosch had tines that were very close and it's total inside area was smaller. The unit is not as deep as traditional American made units.
I already regret my decision.
First: a hint about any Stainless Steel install. SS appliances usually come with a film keeping the Stainless Steel looking nice and clean. Make sure you tell your installer under no uncertain terms that you want this removed only after the installation is completely finished - not right before installation. My installers hands were grubby, oily and wet from hooking up the water line. His hands left a lot of smears on the SS front panel that did not wipe off. Having already purchased a SS fridge, I knew I wanted to seal it with SS cleaner BEFORE we did any damage to it. But alas, the installer ruined that hope.
Second: I was not able to actually see this unit in the store since they only had lower models on the floor. So when I saw how poorly the the lower basket pulled in and out, I foolishly assumed it was becuase the unit was mistreated on the floor or perhaps this lower unit was more cheaply made. Do NOT assume anything!
This unit works just as horribly. So bad, that as I filled it for the first time opening and closing it to add more items, my plates and bowls jumped up and rolled back and forth across the drawer.
Third: The door itself takes a lot of effort to open and I wonder if it will loosen up over time. You have to really push down to get it to fully open. I realized after the first few plate running experiences that the door was not fully open. But now that I have finally worked it all the way down parallel with the floor - I still have the problem, only slightly less.
As I open the door now and pull out the lower rack there is a lot of clanging and it is extremely irritating. I have to use the most gentle touch to slowly pull out the drawer. This is clearly a design issue that I can not imagine why company engineers thought was acceptable. It would have been more acceptable if they had placed the tines in a way that would allow dishes to be placed facing the front. But by having them face the side, they easily roll back and forth as I pull the drawer out. My old one loaded the same way - but did not have this issue.
Four: while I like the idea of a grid over the utensil basket to separate things, I wish the hole were a little larger. Not everything fits and I am using the 3rd top tray for those items.
You pay a lot of money for top of the line units - and this is the top of the line. But you are not getting better quality. The only advantage to me is a few less decibels of noise. My old Quietpak Maytag was moderately noisy, but I am disappointed with the noise from this one. I expected much less.
I may end up swapping this for the Bosch I was considering. I will report back in a week and hopefully upload a video of the dishes rolling as I pull out the lower rack.
Suggestion: You can test this for yourself by taking your own dishes to the store, putting them in and see how they will fit and if they roll. I actually did that - and I'll be honest I figured that with practice I would figure out what they were thinking with this design. So far I haven't.
Pluses of this unit. I like the 3rd tray on top, the adjustable heights of both main drawers, and the all metal insides. But I tell you as they flipped my old Maytag to roll it out and I saw the bottom of this new one. I said "Wow, there is a lot less metal and a lot more plastic!"
If you are set on a KitchenAid dishwasher, I recommend a middle of the line unit. Who cares about options that rack up big $$ for the company, when a simple basic thing like opening the door and rolling out the tray are so hard?????
