"Nice, Quality Dishwasher for a Nice Price"
My wife and I bought the Whirlpool Quiet Partner I about 2 years ago and we have been satisfied with it. We paid about $350 for the dishwasher and it does its job well. There is plenty of rack space and a removable utensil basket which makes it nice unloading. The dishwasher comes with more features than we will ever use, but the delay start is one that is nice. There are quieter dishwashers out there, but by no means is this a loud appliance. It does not disturb watching TV or having a phone conversation. The only negative point that I have is that the Whirlpool Logo fell off the face of the dishwasher, but this may be due to my 2 year old daughter than with the craftmanship. Overall it was a good purchase and we are happy with it. We would definetly consider buying another Whirlpool again based on the performace of this one.

"My Whirlpool Dishwasher: Four Years and Still Going!"
I have owned my dishwasher since 2006. I really love it. I didn't think the water got hot enough when the dishwasher was operating. So, after consulting the manual, I realized that if I run the water in my sink nearest the washer until it gets the hottest it can be, the water in the dishwasher will also be hotter. I always like to wash/rinse my dishes before I place them in the dishwasher and do that before food dries on them. So far, my dishes and glasses have come out sparkling with no water spots, compared to my previous dishwasher. It's also much quieter and it has a stronger sprayer. I have always used the heat dry cycle and not the air dry because my machine is energy efficient. It has nice height inside so, tall items can easily fit on the bottom level. My dishwasher has never needed any special repair. We did have to replace a dish rack roller, which my husband did easily. I try to make sure the drain stays clear, so I have had no issues with that. I would recommend the Whirlpool brand to my friends, but would also suggest going for a stainless steel tub instead of a plastic one.

"Whirlpool Dishwasher, a reliable unit."
I recently moved into an apartment about 4 months ago, which was furnished with this dish washer. It has an upper and lower level tray area so I can usually get dishes complete in one large load. There is also an area to put my dinnerware and knives. There is plenty of room on the lower level so large pots and bowls can fit inside. About the only dislike I can think of is maybe one out of every five washes some of the dishes still have bits of food particles that did not come out during the wash. So far, no repairs have been necessary. I would recommend this dishwasher to a friend.

"Best dishwasher I've ever owned!"
I've had this dishwasher for a little over a year now and I love it! Every other dishwasher I've owned I had to completely rinse off everything off my dishes before putting in the dishwasher. Well not this one! I can put all my dishes in completely covered with food and even if everything has dried the dishwasher manages to get everything squeaky clean! Haven't had to do any repairs on it yet! Best dishwasher you can get for the price. I would highly recommend this dishwasher or any other whirlpool brand dishwasher to anyone!

"Dishwasher Review"
I am using this diahwasher since three years. It is very spacious and is structured in a way which would accomodate more utensils. But it was very time taking to complete the cleaning, which would take around 30 mins(MIN) to complete the task, and is frustating. There was a repair after two years of use, which I think the motor inside is the problem. I dont know the exact cause and the problem, but the service from the company is pretty fast and fixed the issue immediately on the next day. I recommend this product, if they have patience to wait for a long time to complete the job, anyways this is a perfect dishwasher except in the terms of time.

"Whirlpool Quiet Partner II Does the Job"
I have owned this dishwasher for about a month. It is a great machine. I find that I don't have to clean the dishes much before loading them, unlike many other dishwashers. Dishes consistently come out clean. I have never found food particles caked on or anything of the sort. It is a quiet machine, as the name states. There are options such as hi-temp wash and sani-rinse, which are great for baked-on food or just for sanitizing. I have never had any problems of any type with the dishwasher. The only complaint I have is that the silverware holder attaches to the inside door of the dishwasher, and for some reason the silverware never seems to get dry even with the heated dry option. The other dishes dry very well. Additionally, one can pull the silverware holder off to unload it, but it does not stand up by itself so it must lay down on the counter. That is a bit awkward. However, I would absolutely buy it again and recommend it to a friend.

"Whirlpool dishwasher not up to par"
I have owned this dishwasher for a little over a year. I can not say there is much that stands out about the dishwasher. It was reasonably priced but other than that, it is just a average dishwasher. It has the normal dishwasher settings and wash cycles. However, there is one problem that is disappointing about this dishwasher. Often, I have to rinse the dishes twice. The dish are always cleaned of the food particles that they had when I put them in. Sometimes the stuck on food jumps from one plate to another or from the bottom rack to the top and gets stuck in the cups. This doesn't always happen, I guess it depends on how much food is stuck on the dishes. Also, it sometimes leaves soap on the clean dishes. I have gotten into the habit of setting it to a second rinse cycle every time. I would recommend it to a friend if they needed a cheap dishwasher but if they had the money to spare I would suggest a higher quality dishwasher. I have nothing against the brand I just think, in this case, you get what you pay for.

"Not Clean on Whirlpool Dishwasher"
I have owned this dishwasher for about 2 months now. When I first started to use it I noticed that my dishes were not being cleaned as well as they should have been. I thought that maybe this was due to it being new. I have had to change settings on the the dishwasher to make sure that my dishes are cleaner. I purchased 'Jet Dry', changed the settings to High-Temp wash and Sanitize. My dishes are cleaner than before but not completely spotless. (Changing these settings also defeated the Energy Efficiency of the washer.) One thing that was odd was the placement of the silverware rack (attached to the door). It was a nice thought to place the silverware there but I feel my silverware was not being cleaned properly. So, I moved it to sit inside the bottom rack and it cleans better but I lost some space for other dishes. If I am careful to 'pre-wash' my dished by hand before loading the dishwasher it works okay. I would not but this make and model again or recommend it to any friends.

"a good dishwasher"
I've had my whirpool dishwasher for about three weeks now and i like it a lot. I haven't had a dishwasher in three years so the convenience of it is more than welcome. I like the fact that I am using much less water and personal energy to wash dishes now. I like the fact that it doesn't use much electricity or water to run a cycle. I also like the streamlined look of it, as mine is chrome and black. I don't like how long the run cycle is but that is the only downfall to the dishwasher. I've never had to have anything repaired on it and I'm certain that if, like all things, I maintain it then I shouldn't have to for a long long time. It's a good dishwasher and I would recommend it to others.

"mediocre"
At first the dishwasher was a blessing, but after about a year problems began to arise. Weve owned this dishwasher for years and have never ran into any problems until fairly recently. It seems to wash well leaving little to no residue, but it dosent drain as well as id like it to. sometimes there will be huge puddles of dirty water and food bits at the bottom that rot and smell awful. I checked the drain and it does not appear to be stopped up but being a single mom i havent considered any type of repair. i find myself trying to clean it out for the smell almost every other time i use it. overall, i would recommend buying a nicer model dishwasher for better results. the whirpool cleans well but the health and and smell concerns i have are much greater. Tthe dishwasher may have been a steal but you get what you pay for. personally, i will be purchasing a new dishwasher very soon.

"Whirlpool's Fools Gold Washer"
I am not crazy about my new Whirlpool Gold dishwasher. The good: It has many features like power scour, pots and pans, and delayed start, plus it looks nice where it sits. It is priced reasonably for what you get. The Bad: It starts and stops constantly and does not dry completely after running. You have to rinse your dishes completely, somehow I can never get an entire load of dishes comletely clean. I am not sure how this is suppose to be highly efficient when I am using 50 gallons of water rinsing dishes before they go into the dishwasher. Whirlpool needs to go back to the drawing board on this model.

"Super Clean!!"
Hello, I have owned this dishwasher for over a year now. I like how it looks and it's performance to complete it's intended task - washing dishes. It does a great job and is a powerful machine. One thing I don't like (but it's minor) is that it doesn't have a built in food disposer. I haven't had to repair anything yet, Whirlpool appears to be a very solid brand. I would definitely buy the same brand and model again and have already recommened to several people I know. Thank you for reading.

"Very Nice Dishwasher"
My current dishwasher was already in the house when I moved in, and I'm not certain how long it has been there, but being as it worked well and was very clean, I would assume that it was not that old. I really like the fact that the silverware basket can be moved to several locations in the dishwasher in order to accommodate a variety of loads. I am also very pleased that this dishwasher is an Energy Star qualified dishwasher. I often have to run the dishwasher once a day, sometimes even twice per day, and the fact that it is energy efficient saves me a lot of money over some other brands. The only thing that I am not a fan of is the color, however since it came with the house, that is not a big issue. Also, upon researching, I noticed that this same dishwasher does in fact come in my color choice (stainless steel). So far, I have not had to make any repairs. I would definitely recommend this Whirlpool dishwasher to my friends and family.

"Clean dishes, quiet and fast"
I have had this dishwasher for about six months; it replaced a dying Kenmore washer. The best thing about this dishwasher is that it is fast! It completes a wash cycle in about 30 minutes, which is about half the time of my previous dishwasher. The drying cycle takes longer, however I typically let the dishes air-dry to conserve energy. In addition to being fast, my dishes come out clean, which is obviously the most important factor of a dishwasher. My least favorite part about the dishwasher is design of the top-rack; it doesn't hold as many dishes as other dishwashers that I've used, however that is a minor issue for me. In the six-months I've owned this unit, there have been no needed repairs; all things have worked properly since installation. The unit is relatively quiet, while I can clearly hear it, the noise is in no way a distraction. I would definitely purchase another Whirlpool dishwasher in the future and I have recommended this particular model to several friends. I am very satisfied with this dishwasher purchase!

Review:
I purchased my new townhome about 2 years ago and it came with new appliances from the builder. The dishwasher was the first item to have a problem within a week, a repair man was here to replace an item that was broken. I assume the reason why the dishes were not really getting clean was because of the bad part, but after the repair it still happened. When I was dishes I have to really rinse them well before putting them in the Whirlpool or they do not get clean. Its usually the silverware that are always left with food on them. The unit about 6 months started leaking around the seal, but the warranty is over and I will hold out until I can afford to buy a different model. I cannot say that there is anything that I have liked about this one, only an extreme dislike. I am not happy with Whirlpool brand period, since the range microwave went out 3 weeks ago and the heating element in the stove had to be replaced. I would not recommend Whirlpool to anyone.

"My Whirlpool Dishwasher"
I have had this dishwasher for the past 3 years and have had no issues with it. It is a fairly decent looking unit with simple controls. The original price was very reasonable so I guess it was a good value. It works the best with Cascade All-in-one Complete Action Pacs. I really do not care for the spacing of the racks because some soup and pasta bowls are too close together to allow these dishes to stand up, thus costing precious real estate from other dishes. The only thing I have really had to do with this unit is to clean out some debris from the washing arm and run a little CLR through it to remove some hard water buildup on the internals. I would buy another one of these machines if I really did not care about features and was on a very tight budget. Overall a good machine to own.

"Well worth it"
My review of the whirlpool dishwasher is great. I have never had whirlpool appliance before, this diswisher was the result of the remodeling done to my kitchen when it caught fire. Now I must admit that i have had a dishwasher before and have never used them, I never thought they would clean your dishes as good as a ol' fashion hand job. I decieded to test this theory when my child claimed to be to sick to complete thier normal task. The first plus i noticed was the inside size was very large and had more then enough room for all my pots and pans. I especially enjoyed the uteintil holder in the front for my forks and spoons. This product is very easy to use and can be used with your favorite detererant, nothing fancy that you have to buy. The cycle is very fast, which makes this a great energy saver. When the wash was over that fast, I was pleasantly surprised how clean the dishes were, We had fried hamburgers for that night and there was no traces of grease let on them. It even has the feature where it will dry your dishes, which means you can put the dishes in the cabinet as soon as the cycle is done. The fire was a month ago, and the dishwasher is new, so I never had to fix anything on it and telling by the well craftmanship it seems to me that this machine will not be in the shop for awhile. I cannot find anything that I do not like about it besides the fact that it has now worked so well that my children now has a new chore buddy.
