Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

think twice

never again2 7/18/2026

I'm sorry I purchased this. All the info said the dishwasher was just like a normal one. Well that's wrong!!!! my dishes and glasses fall over, yes they come out clean, but there isn't enough room, the dish racks hold nothing!!! Glasses shouldn't move, it's like there is nothing holding the glass in place like my other dishwasher. Wish I could get different racks. Dishes don't stay upright in the racks. and forget about dinner plates and lunch plates, they touch each other. waiting to open the door and find broken plates. poor design on the racks. I purchased this because I have an issue with my cabinet opening and it would fit in the opening without having to lift the countertop to get it in.

Very pleased with my purchase!

New dishwashers wash and dry differently than old dishwashers did. If you purchase this model, read the owner's manual that came with this dishwasher and see "Additional Tips" on page 29. The cycles run longer but the motors operate at lower wattage for energy efficiency. It also says that rinse aid is necessary for good drying performance. It states "Energy-efficient dishwashers use less water and energy, so they depend on the water sheeting action of rinse aid for good drying performance". This particular model automatically opens the door at the end of the cycle to let hot air out and fresh air in to aid in drying. It doesn't have a heating element to assist in drying like old dishwashers did. The first couple of loads I ran did not dry very well and the tub and racks were dripping wet. Then I added Finish rinse aid to the dispenser and used the extended dry setting and drying improved significantly. The only things that didn't come out completely dry were things that had recessed areas facing upwards, like coffee cups. At 44 decibles, this dishwasher is very quiet, hard to tell if it's running at times. But the colored LED light on the front, let's you know the current cycle status. The upper rack adjusts up/down a few inches which is nice and I like the 3rd rack for utensils. It allows you to remove the utensil basket on the lower rack if you want to for added capacity. I've used both the Normal and Sensor cycles for cleaning and they both do an excellent job.

Machine cracked inside and leaks on delivery

LT17 11/27/2025

It was delivered Tuesday and threw an error after the installer left, they came back out and there is a crack inside causing the machine to leak all over the kitchen. There is no replacement available until January 2026 so we need to send back and purchase an alternative brand.

VERY QUIET

Grandpa RD 11/17/2025

I am pleasantly surprised how quiet my new Whirlpool dishwasher is. If I am standing in my kitchen, I still have to concentrate to here it in operation.

Nice Dishwasher

RayS60 11/13/2025

We like the dishwasher so far, very quiet. My only nit pick is the dish racks are too narrow. I picked this model so it would fit my opening. We like the 3rd rack on top.

Racks not as good as the older 4000 model.

Pete 10/30/2025

We bought this dishwasher to replace a 15 year old model 4000 Whirlpool. We had to replace our old one because the door latch assembly broke and the replacement parts were not available. This new model is more quiet and perhaps more water efficient. HOWEvER... the racks in this new model are not well designed for large shallow bowls. The old model had pegs the right size to hole a shallow bowl upright, so you could load several to be washed at the same time. This new model has pegs that are too far apart, so the bowls lean over, almost flat and block each other. The could be put on the second rack face down, but only about three would fit..... and there would be no place for cups. The drying is not as efficient and the older unit, and if you forget to "turn off" the Door dry option, (that unlocks the door and opens it a bit at the end of a cycle), your dishes and the inside of the dishwasher will be wet. (even with Jet Dry added). Overall, the unit is quiet and efficient, but will not allow the same number of dishes, (mainly shallow bowls), to be loaded as the older unit.

Efficient and Quiet

Tonyl 12/27/2023

We bought the dishwasher and had it installed before the holiday season. We were surprised at how efficient, and quiet it is when running. Our dishes, pot and pans come out spotless. A huge improvement from the old dishwasher.
