If you read the negative ones, it's usually concerning the delivery or installation, not the product itself

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.
Bosch is the best dishwasher you can buy

I've had a predecessor to this model now that came with my new home for 18 years. It's finally to the point of replacing it. Took good care of it all the time (pre-rinsed dishes, didn't overstuff, cleaned it once/quarter with an empty cycle and a bowl of household vinegar in the top rack) which kept things clean. Only replacing it now because I had to 3-d print a custom part to hold the sprayer on the bottom of the top rack on which finally wore down after daily use. So yeah, hit or miss - but also largely based on how you use it, I suspect. Passing on the Bosch for ~double the price installed.

Oh, and thanks OP - just pulled the trigger on one. Install is easy so if I have trouble, I'll do it myself (and I plan to inspect the initial delivery before scheduling the install). I expect install issues but the price is too good...

The costco delivery team drop off the new unit and pickup the old dishwasher, but you have to unhook everything yourself first. All they do is haul away.

The 2nd appointment will have a local installer / contractor to hook the new unit up. Since my pipes and electrical are up to codes, so I just had to pay for my city permit.

YMMV

After seeing this post, I went to costco website and placed the order on whirlpool 3rd rack. That's a better deal to me.

Does Costco provide installation services
Depends on where you live. It has installation included in most zip codes. Make sure to check before you order.

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!

Wow, may I ask: Since when it's a good deal for a dishwasher to cost ~$500?
I owned a Maytag (and some one here commented it is a reputable brand ...for jokes maybe): the front control panel keeps failing after a few months even though all the other parts are perfectly fine and un-justifiably expensive to replace. ( > $150 to replace a simple ribbon passive panel)
All those recent designs seem to implement that same kinda control panel which is prone to fail due to humidity or more likely because of poor design.
I 'd pass until somebody can recommend a smarter design.

I purchased a KitchenAid last month when it was on sale (not this one but 604 model). Was delivered by 1 company and installed by a local plumber. They scheduled the plumber for 6pm and the DW was dropped off around 10am.

Now I did have to remove the old one for the delivery guys to take it away. I don't know if it I would have left it in if the plumbers would have removed it, it really wasn't difficult, it took 30 minutes for me (a novice) but basically 2 screws, some tubing and turning off the power.

IMO 3rd rack is overrated/limited use. If it is fully loaded to the point the 3rd rack is needed, the items in the middle rack will obstruct the jets from hitting the 3rd rack at full power.

I can't speak to model number, but the DW in my kitchen looks identical to this. The thing is extremely quiet and does its job. Cycle length leaves something to be desired, but we generally run it every night at bedtime. I will reiterate that it is very very quiet. The water draining into the disposal is the only sound that's really audible from 15 feet away.
