KitchenAid Architect II K Series KUDS03FT

Pros: Looks nice

Cons: Plenty, save your money.

The Bottom Line: There is no reason to spend a grand for pretty looks, when this unit can't clean, door is troublesome, soap dispenser is poorly designed, and controls are hard to see.

Review: This dishwasher does not clean well, the door sounds like an old barn door when opening, the racks are poorly designed that don't hold items very well. My old Jenn-air did a better job, for half the price... Soap dispenser door won't open if you...

Pros: Pretty

Cons: Top shelf doesn't clean well.

Pros: It is quiet!

Cons: It does NOT clean the dishes!

The Bottom Line: Do NOT buy this dishwasher. It doesn't clean dishes properly.

Pros: Stainless looks great

Cons: Filthy Dishes, noisy

The Bottom Line: Don't buy it!!!

Review: I remodeled my kitchen last year and purchased all Kitchenaid stainless appliances. I decided to spring for the higher end of the Kitchenaid dishwashers. I chose the Kitchenaid brand because I liked the look of them and Kitchenaid is made by...
