I'm spoiled by my Miele's third rack. Unlike dishwashers with baskets for cutlery, the third rack design works best when items are nested. Upon unloading, just grab all of the knives, forks or spoons at once and put them away in one bunch. It's so much faster and more convenient than picking through a basket for items one by one.
I'm surprised KitchenAid's reliability is an issue. I though Whirlpool-sourced dishwashers were fairly problem-free. I've only had one experience with a Bosch and that was at a vacation home, as it happens, a few Thanksgivings ago. I was not impressed and it struck me as flimsy. However, my sister has a Bosch and likes it well enough.
I wouldn't trust anything made by Fisher Paykel. |

usually on Fridays just got a whirlpool dishwasher. When I go to his house, I'll check it out. I was told that it had a 3rd rack. |

I am so thrilled with it I started stocking it at my shop. It washes and dries beautifully. It’s quiet. The third rack is a game changer. |

Tom, I have the first generation KA Clean Water Wash System with the Kenmore Elite label. I think it's terrific. The model you are looking at is exactly the model I want, or the 804K model version. I like the pocket handle and front display too. All for the same reasons others have stated about their KAs.

Mine failed at about 1 1/2 years old. Actually, it was the heater that failed not the pump itself but because they are integrated the whole pump assembly had to be replaced. From what I read, using a detergent that produces a fair amount of sudsing has been known to contribute to this failure. I'm not technical enough to know exactly why but that is what the article said. I was using Cascade pods at the time and since we have soft water we not only over dosed but also cascade pods are known to produce a fair amount of sudsing. I started using Miele tabs and they not only clean really, really well but they don't seem to produce any suds at all. I'm hoping that solves the issue for me. If it fails again after this the dishwasher is history.
I think the machine cleans really well, is very quiet and even though there is often chatter that the Bosch doesn't hold as much, I'm satisfied with what I can get in a load. We have the 800 series so ours does not have the plastic bottom mentioned above. |
