Whirlpool Built-In Super Capacity Dishwasher In Black-On-Stainless - GU3100XTVS

Comments about Whirlpool Built-In Super Capacity Dishwasher In White:

I needed a dishwasher, in white, that would fit in the smaller space that had been allocated in my galley kitchen. This product cleans the dishes very well. I wish it a basket for small items, in addition to the utensil basket.

A great fit in a small space. I bought this dw to fit on a 2nd story kitchen, where the floor was tiled completely under the dw. I also wanted quiet sound since the kitchen is not too far off the master bedroom and I feel I got what I was looking for.

We bought this dishwasher to fit in a smaller cutout space. Our house was built in the 1950's and many of today's dishwashers wouldn't fit without major reworking of our counter. I researched several brands (many costing almost double the cost of our Whirllpool). I bought the Whirlpool because it got good reviews and gives good value for the money. We've had it installed for a couple of months now, and I love it!!

This dishwasher is excellent. It has plenty of room for all my dishes, glasses, and silverware. The dividers in the silverware basket are great. I love the stainless steel interior because it not only looks nice , but it helps heat retention to dry the dishes. The dishes come out sparkling clean.

Our water is tough on things but this stainless steel tub should hold up. The dishwasher came with 2 install manuals but no operating manual, still not sure about a couple of features. It is smaller inside than my previous dishwasher.

I only chose this dishwasher because we had a fit issue with our space and we had few to choose from. It is quite small- smaller than the our previous dishwasher that fit in the same space.

The rubber seals for the dishwasher have to be thoroughly cleaned at least every 2 weeks otherwise there is a scum build up. The dishes then smell terribly and have to be hand washed. This is even after thoroughly rinsing each item before placing in dishwasher.

Do not buy this dishwasher. I am so disappointed.

The appliance beeps as the doors is pulled opened, beeps as the door is pushed closed and beeps every five seconds when the door is open (meaning not locked) more than thirty seconds, regardless of whether or not a cycle is scheduled to run. if you never want to leave the door cracked open and can load and unload a full dishwasher in 30 seconds or less, this is the dishwasher for you. Otherwise, choose something that doesn't have notifications about a completely irrelevant situation, e.g. a dishwasher door that is not closed and locked. This morning I loaded a dish and didn't lock the door. It beeped every five seconds for over an hour until I pushed the door into the locked position. I see nothing in the manual about this feature and can't for the life of me see why it would be a helpful function on a dishwasher. The racks are also low capacity. The bottom rack is riddled with tines and the silverware tub is enormous and only sits in one place (the previous reviewer who put her silverware tub on the door does not have this model -- there's no way to do that with this model). When the front of the bottom rack was loaded with plates, the rack would fall into the gap between the door and the tub as it was pulled out. I quickly learned to support the rack as I was pulling it, so that it would stop falling. The top rack doesn't hold anything substantial. It doesn't even really hold glasses securely. They kept falling over, as did the bowls that I loaded in the special spot they are pictured in the manual. The dishes come out clean, but this unit has too many frustrating design flaws for me to recommend it. Get rid of the beeping and design a higher-capacity more versatile rack and I would give it five stars.

While my dishwasher is not this exact model, (mine isn't on the website) this one seems to be most similar. I love the TALL stainless steel tub, and I always like the silverware rack on the door, as it give so much more room for other dishes. So far the noise level is very low-also love the delay features to run in the night anyway to save on energy and hot water while we need it other places. My dishes have been coming our very clean and the sani-rinse button just makes me feel better! :)

I do not recommend this dishwasher. It is poorly designed, has insufficient capacity, and fails to thoroughly clean dishes. This dishwasher regularly leaves food on my dishes after it completes its cycle. I have not had these problems with previous dishwashers. I would love to replace it with something that actually does what I paid for it to do.

Like others, I chose this product because my kitchen floor is built up and I feared that others would be too tall to fit into the space. The installer guys confirmed that this would have been a problem had I bought a taller model.

It's nice-looking, works fine, simple controls, all as advertised so far (had it less than a month). But the manufacturer's pix are a bit misleading because it definitely holds less than my old washer. In particular, large-diameter plates don't fit without blocking the adjacent row, and the space behind the flatware rack is only wide enough for small-to-medium plates. The overall real estate is cramped, but it's not a big disappointment since I sort of expected this.

One other minor con - the reservoir for rinse agent has a little window that's meant to indicate when to add more, but it's small and I can't easily see the level (though my eyes are worse than most).

Service and delivery comments:

Ordered it Thursday night, they offered delivery/install on Monday. Installers called in the a.m. to give a 2-hour window, then arrived as promised - courteous, friendly, competent-seeming guys. Cleaned up when they were done, gave a demo and detergent advice and made sure all my questions were answered before they left. A pleasant experience.
