Whirlpool GU2700XTSB / GU2700XTSQ / GU2700XTST

Pros: Well-rounded, worthwhile upgrade vs. Kemore 1603 for just a small price premium.

Cons: Silverware rack design a possible negative for some users, $90 price difference

The Bottom Line: Best bang for the buck dishwasher I found.

Review: Doubtless like many who are reading this review, I was trying to find a dishwasher to replace an older builders-grade model that was not really doing the job. After checking Consumer Reports, I was very interested in the Kenmore 1603/1703 series at...

Pros: Does a good job, lots of features, fairly quiet.

Cons: Often items need to be rewashed.

The Bottom Line: Very good for the price. Lots of useful features. Could be better with a top sprayer arm.

Review: We purchased this after the Maytag in the house we newly moved into was recalled. Prior to that, I'd lived with a cheapo 20+ year old dishwasher I'd only run when I left for work,as to not listen to two hours of grinding. With the Maytag I didn't...

Pros: Quiet. Cleans pots and pans without soaking and wasting water.

Cons: None.

The Bottom Line: This is a quiet, well designed dishwasher. It's a great alternative to the Kenmore and you don't have to buy it from Sears. Definitely recommend.

Review: Like glenn01, I was also replacing a builders grade dishwasher, although mine was only a few months old. The builders grade GE was very noisy and left food particles on top of the cups after a supposed cleaning cycle. I've been buying Kenmore...

Pros: GREAT design MANY features for the $. Built in grinder-disposal = NO pre rinse! Quiet!

Cons: Some small plastic parts inside and on racks seem fragile. May not last.

The Bottom Line: Strongly recommended. This is the lowest cost model with EVERY possible high end feature.

Review: All nylon rack materials will never peel and rust. One piece "unibody" tub system was very lightweight and easy to move into place. Silverware basket can be attached to door for more pot & pan space, or attached to lower rack as a standard system...

Pros: Pour Scour, Quiet running, space-saving utensil basket, flexible arrangements for varying dish sizes, CLEANS dishes

Cons: It could be less expensive... but is definitely worth it.

The Bottom Line: A dishwasher that washes... what a treat. I recommend this dishwasher because it does what it says it will do. Thank you, Whirlpool.

Review: I am a survivor! Having endured about 5 years of a Limited Edition Kenmore dishwasher, I am proud to say I have a new Whirlpool! (Cue lights and choir voices!) I should write a review regarding my poor experience with Lowes, the place of purchase,...

Pros: Interior space configuration, pot scrubber, delay wash option, quiet operation, color options

Cons: awkward silverware basket

The Bottom Line: Good machine for the money. Well designed, cleans thoroughly, quiet, excellent features.

Review: After retiring an increasingly noisy and tired Kenmore Elite (top of the line in its day)it was time for a replacement. With Consumer Reports in hand, it looked like we might be buying another Kenmore...but wait!!! Sears was having a sale on...

Pros: Excellent washing, super quiet

Cons: Low to the ground door, gotta bend; utensil holder opens a lot

The Bottom Line: Wonderful, good looking, efficient washer!

Review: After my former Kenmore dishwasher of about 12 years passed away, and having 8 people in my family, I could not wait to rid my swampy, mold-infested science experiment with a new model. Even though I wasn't as put out washing dishes by hand as I was...

Pros: Looks Good.

Cons: Doesn't clean, poor design, not particulary quiet.

Review: On the plus side, it looks pretty good. There are several things that we do not like, the most important one being that frequently dishes and flatware are not cleaned. Another negative is that the Cascade powdered detergent clumps up in the main...

Pros: Quiet. Power Scour. High value.

Cons: none

Review: Intelligent design, for example: The waste hose is designed in a recess, so that the washer doesn't have to sit proud of the counter top. Power Scour works as advertised. No need to pre-wash.
It does seem to go thru the spot removal or clean...

Pros: Quiet, sani-rinse, movable top drawer, etc.

Cons: Occasionally have to rewash top rack items

The Bottom Line: Really good dishwasher for the money. Has enough bells and whistles to make it extra helpful and only have to rewash some top items occasionally.

Review: I picked this dishwasher out when we had our house built and paid to upgrade from the standard pitiful dishwasher usually thrown into a house by the builder. We have had it a year and a half now and it works great - no real complaints.

I...
