KitchenAid – Front Control Built-In Dishwasher with Stainless Steel Tub, FreeFlex Third Rack, 44dBA – Stainless Steel $480.00
Description
  • FreeFlex third rack
    The large third rack has a deep, angled design that fits 6″ glasses, mugs, and bowls.
  • 44dBA
    Provides quiet cleaning without compromising performance, so there’s no need to wait to run a wash cycle, while entertaining and enjoying meals, even in open concept kitchens.
  • Advanced clean water wash system
    Uses microfiltration to continuously remove food particles during the wash and rinse cycles and circulates clean water to dishes in all three racks. This allows dirty cookware and delicate glassware to be washed together in the same load.
  • ProWash cycle
    Utilizes sensors to measure soil levels throughout the cycle and adapts wash time and water temperature as needed for tough messes or lighter loads, because no two meals or the dishes that result are exactly the same.
  • PrintShield finish
    Resists smudges and fingerprints. The specialized coating for stainless steel is easy to clean with just water and a soft cloth, so you can spend more time cooking and less time cleaning up the kitchen.
  • Adjustable middle rack
    Adds flexibility to fit tall items, such as a stand mixer bowl. Lower the rack to place large dishes inside, or raise it to make room for platters, pitchers, blender jars and more in the rack below.
  • Heat dry option
    Heats both the final rinse water and the air inside the dishwasher to help dishes come out dry and ready for your next creation.
  • Extended heat dry option
    Adds drying time for improved results.
  • Durable stainless steel interior
    Offers the beauty and benefits of stainless steel inside the dishwasher. It resists streaks, stains and odors, while retaining heat to help improve drying.
  • SatinGlide maximum rails in third and middle racks
    Allow racks to move effortlessly, even when fully loaded.
  • Adjustable rows in middle and lower racks
    Fold down to make room for dishes in a variety of shapes and sizes, such as roasting pans, serving bowls, colanders, and Dutch ovens.
  • Two stemware holders in middle rack
    Secure wine glasses along the side of the rack to prevent them from moving around during the wash cycle.
  • Express wash cycle
    Cleans in less time, so you always have the dishes you need, while preparing, cooking, and entertaining.
  • Sani-Rinse option
    Eliminates food soil bacteria.
  • A dishwasher hookup kit is sold separately and is not included.
  • Required for Installation: All dishwasher purchases require a dishwasher hookup kit be purchased from Best Buy. Without a hookup kit, your installation will not be completed. Find a hookup kit in the accessories section on this page.

  1. Nighthawk

    Dries completely, adjustable 2nd shelf, closes securely, very quiet.

  2. Bestbuyer

    We have had the unit over a month. I am impressed with how much this dishwasher can hold and still clean with ease. Being a household of 4 things start to pile up fast and this unit helps keep the sink empty.

  3. AlexanderH

    Love this dishwasher. It’s quiet, will clean anything you put in it, no matter how dirty or caked on, and dishes come out completely dry!

  4. Stephen

    The best dishwasher I have ever had. Heated drying does it job every time. Cleans even hard cooked on food,

  5. TinLizzy

    I bought this KitchenAid dishwasher to replace a 19 year old Kenmore. The first time I used it I couldn’t believe how quiet the dishwasher was. It holds a lot of dishes and I absolutely love the third rack for drinking glasses and coffee cups. I am extremely happy with my purchase.

  6. Mikey774

    I have had for a couple months now. The dishwasher is super quiet, looks nice, and cleans well. Super happy.

  7. JohnF

    The dishwasher works very well. It’s very quiet and the dishes come out clean. Lots of room.

  8. PhilliprI

    Rearry exerrant creaning dishwasher with exerrant drying

  9. RobertK

    This dishwasher does an excellent job of cleaning and the top tray is very handy for oddball small stuff and utencils and such. Definitely recommended!

  10. Kingdingling

    Nice, super quiet and cleans great. Easy install with no issues. Way quieter than expected!

  11. Theckwine

    It is beautiful and works great!! Love it! I would recommend this to everyone!

  12. FMiller

    Great dishwasher. Cleans and dries thoroughly and is very quiet. Sleek design with recessed handle looks high tech. Exceptional product, delivery and installation.

  13. Robin

    Quiet, does a great job cleaning the dishes, and I love the layout of the racks EXCEPT the utensils holder on the bottom rack. Every other row has holes that are too small for even a normal knife blade so only half of the slots are usable. Otherwise, I would’ve given it five stars. We air dry, so I can’t comment on the drying.

  14. YBNikolet

    This is the best dishwasher I’ve ever owned. Ridiculously quiet, if it wasnt for the lights showing the cycle – I wouldnt know if it was running. The third rack is spacious and and the adjustable racks makes the dishwasher tetris game so much easier! Kitchenaid forever.

  15. BenC

    So far so good ! There is nothing i can complain about it as i need time to prove whether it’s really a good one or not.

  16. NotMarioLopez

    I bought a KitchenAid dishwasher in 2012, but after ten years, it had done its duty. This was a five-star (*****) product because of the high quality and low dBA. It was time for replenishment of the old dishwasher. I returned to the KitchenAid brand because I liked the old one with the quiet dBA. You could not tell if the dishwasher was running without looking at the indicator lights.

    The new KitchenAid dishware is much lower in quality. After two weeks of usage, one of the side guards was falling off and I had to call in for new parts. The dishes are not as clean as the old ones. It also does not dry well compared to the old one. Words used to come out completely dry, but there are water spots everywhere in the new one. The worse is the dBA noise. This new one is a lot louder. You can tell that it is running with the spinning and water noises. Only three stars (***) for the new KitchenAid dishwasher. Too bad that the quality went down.

  17. WilliamR

    This unit is amazingly quite! We love the 3 shelf design. Dishes come out clean and dry. I am very impressed on how clean the interior of the unit is after every load. We have a water softener so I believe that helps. We have no stains or residue. Great unit!

  18. NancyC

    The install was done in a very timely manner. The installers were professional and did a very thorough job. They didn’t rush through it. Very pleased with my overall experience with Best Buy in Coeur d’Alene!

  19. ChristopherC

    This dishwasher is wonderful! Has an extra layer at the top for bowls and chopsticks. Our previous Kitchenaid dishwasher died from chopsticks falling to the bottom and burning.

  20. Todd

    Pretty good washer! Still leaves some water on plastic after drying cycle but light years better than old machine.

  21. TimH

    Product was a great value. Hey Siri use wonderful customer service.

  22. Harp

    Not very useful and it takes up too much room…..

  23. JRG3

    Having three shelves was a new pleasant experience. My last dishwasher let you choose one to 12 hours for the delayed start. This one only has a single 4 hour delay choice. Adjusting the height of the middle shelf is trivial. In my last dishwasher it was a pain. So far, everything has come out clean.

  24. Perfect

    The first unit that arrived had an alarm that would not stop. A new unit was sent out right away. I am still not sure why they had to take out my copper water line and put in a flex hose. A couple cup hooks were missing but Best Buy customer service does not order or follow thru on getting the replacement parts. They gave me the manufacturer’s phone number and said I had to call myself. The unit itself is quiet and works well.

  25. RaquelC

    Amazing dishwasher quite. cleans beautifully and the controls are better in front then being on top of the door!

  26. MichaelB

    Great dishwasher. Cleans well. Downside it is too loud.

  27. Zeppy

    It is a great dishwasher! Cleans very well, drys great on the hot dry cycle and is extremely quiet! Love this dish washer!

  28. CherylY

    Great so far but prefer older style silverware holder

  29. Jim1

    Does an excellent job, and the third rack is really-really nice! We also appreciate the front controls. Wish it had a delicate cycle and a minute timer on the washing time.

  30. PatS

    Excellent dishwasher, quite cleans great, drys very good

  31. Geoffk

    It is everything we wanted in a dishwasher. Love the extra shelf, very quiet. Cleans everything very well. An excellent choice

  32. DaddyO

    So far so good. Cleans well, quiet. First few washes, top shelf items may not be completely dry. Plenty of space and third top shelf is very useful.

  33. frg19180

    Just got this about a week ago. Doesnt start and keeps deeping on clean. Going to call Best Buy tech if they could come and check it out. I would updated if the issues persist. I did purchase the warranty but

  34. JanieH

    MONEY, OR EXCHANGE OR REFUND TO BUY ANITHER BRAND DISHWASHER AT BEST BUY I called KitchenAid AKA whirlpool and they said once their equipment is in the hands of Best buy they will not refund any money for damage or faulty machines because Best buy had it in their custody and then I’m to go to Best buy for the money so neither corporation will replace this machine and I’ve been told by five different team members that I have no option but to pay for the repair myself I’m still in shock don’t buy from Best buy unless I report back differently in a week but please do not buy from Best buy because you have no means of getting anything replaced if it’s more than 15 days since you received delivery. I don’t know about the cleaning quality or the drying quality because we hardly used it but they’re making me answer it so I’ll put one meaning poor

  35. Keng

    I love the third rack, it fits a bunch of mugs, glasses and large cooking utensils. We no longer have to pre-rinse our dishes, they always come out clean with no deposits on them. It’s very quiet and was an easy DIY install.

  36. DavidP

    Love the new dish washer. Very fancy, love the third drawer

  37. ReneeS

    I really like the third rack. I highly recommend this dishwasher

  38. Pg13

    Best dishwasher I’ve ever had. Quite and cleans very well.

  39. Gaggy

    Gets things clean. It is fairly quiet too.
    Simple controls. Still trying to figure out the best loading options.

  40. MonaN

    We love our new dishwasher. It looks very sleek and clean as well as being extremely quiet during operation. Highly recommend.

  41. BetteP

    Looks good with my other appliances. This Kitchen Aid is so quiet that you don’t even know it’s on. Cleans dishes spotless.

  42. RenuB

    Works great .its quiet cleans well i love it. Its a great help

  43. OlgaK

    I like this dishwasher. But special thank you to team making installation. Very nice and professional people.

  44. bestbyegrl

    GREAT Machine – OUTSANDING Delivery Serice – THE ABSOLUTLE WORST CUSTOMER CARE FROM BEST BUY!!!!!
    Machine was delivered broken so the Delivery Service returned it and tried to take care of us…. Best Buy completely botched it after that! In the end, I DID NOT Get the Discount they promised for the delivery problems but I did get one of the best Dishwashers I have ever had the pleasure to have.

  45. JamesD

    Good value. Works as described. Quiet. Storage has lots of flexibility.

  46. RobertL

    Overall the KitchenAid is working very well. Choose it over the other highly rated brand because of the third rack. Love it. I wish there was more flexibility in the lower racks tongs. No models are great for larger pans and pots.
    But Overall, would purchase this again. When properly loaded and using the premium soap pods, the dishes are spotless, even backed on greasy pans.

  47. Angela

    Easy to install and look ve the space and how well it cleans

  48. ColeS

    Pros–It looks nice
    Extremely quiet. almost TOO quiet
    3rd rack is nice

    Cons–Poor cleaning
    Rinsing dishes is essential
    Can’t clean pots and pans
    Can’t clean day-old dishes

    We did a kitchen remodel, bought this to replace a 15 year old Bosch DW that had a non-working soap dispenser. Our work-around was to throw soap packet in the bottom an use the 30 min Quick cycle. Even then, the Bosch ran rings around this piece of junk. No rinsing, pots and pans, dried food—all spotless. I would take the broken 15 year old Bosch over this one any day.

    Do yourself a favor, skip this Dish Rinser and look at a Bosch.

  49. Karen

    Great dishwasher that is quiet and efficient. Very satisfied with purchase

  50. JGE1

    Just had the new KitchenAid dishwasher installed. Let it run empty then filled it with dishes and it worked perfectly. Very quiet when compared to our previous dishwasher.
