KitchenAid Architect Series II KUDS30IVWH
- Cleans well
- Quiet
- Built-in food disposal
- Stainless-steel tub
- Energy Star-qualified
- Can be difficult to install
- More expensive than some
For a mid-priced model, the KitchenAid Architect Series II KUDS30IVWH (*Est. $630) is packed with features, including built-in food disposal (eliminating the need for scraping plates), stainless-steel spray arms and tub, sound insulation, adjustable upper rack, fold-down tines, sanitizing rinse and wash sensor. The controls are not hidden, however. This model receives very strong owner recommendations and performs well in professional tests. If you don't need many features and you'd rather spend less, you may want to consider the Whirlpool Tall Tub Dishwasher DU1300XTVQ (Discontinued). It's more basic, with a plastic tub and no food disposal, but owners say it's not too loud and it does a great job of getting dishes clean.
The KitchenAid Architect Series II KUDS30IVWH is included in the latest roundup from ConsumerReports.org, and owner reviews for this model are plentiful. We found numerous ratings and reviews at Buzzillions.com, Sears.com, ABT.com, AJMadison.com and BestBuy.com.
