Costco Members: KitchenAid Front Control Dishwasher w/ Stainless Steel Interior EXPIRED

I bought a similar Costco deal in February. I called the local contractor the day prior to delivery. She tried to tell me there was no haul-away, which was incorrect. With some pressing and after waiting on hold, she obliged saying they'd only do it at no charge because it was for Costco. Day of, one guy delivered the appliance and 3 hours later a second guy came to install. I had removed the old dishwasher myself and was ready (note that they won't remove it for you). When the installer unboxed he found a fist-sized dent in the back of the new dishwasher and one of the adjustable plastic feet was broken off and then he dragged his feet and ultimately refused to install it. Long story short, Costco, who processes the order for Whirlpool to fulfill, has these shipped directly from Whirlpool, so when I called Costco customer service, they pawned me off on Whirlpool who scheduled a replacement delivery. I called Whirlpool the day before the replacement delivery and was assured everything was good to to go, then waited around for the 4 hour window and nobody showed up. I called Whirlpool and Costco and both said "Aw, gee, that unit is back ordered until May, whoops." So I installed the damned new-but-dented dishwasher myself and it's great, really like it, but holy cripes what a massive runaround and waste of my time.

And again, I just told the short version!

Kitchenaid is a very reputable brand in line with Maytag and owned by Whirlpool. I do not have experience with this particular model, but I do have Kitchenaid DW in my kitchen for last 7 years w/o a single issue. I use mine almost everyday.

Good brand. Bosch is another people should look at when shopping (I think Bosch tends to be the most quiet - they even have an indicator light so you can tell when it's running, since it's so quiet).

Personally I'm interested in a new Bosch with a 3rd/top rack. Seems useful for getting more into the same load.
