Out With The Old & In With The New

My dishwasher went out TWICE…within a few months of each other.

Hand washing dishes gets old real fast, especially when you have a house full of people and not a lot of extra time on your hands. My time is valuable (all of ours is) and washing dishes is not how I want to spend it.

So I decided to bite the bullet and buy a new dishwasher.

My trusted appliance repair guy had mentioned a few brands to lean towards with my purchase, Kitchen Aid being one of them. Clients of mine had spoken highly of their Kitchen Aid appliances, and when they bought their new home that they gutted, they replaced them with new Kitchen Aid appliances also.

They are definitely more expensive, so I was hoping that in this case I was “getting what I paid for.” Plus I did get stainless so that adds to the cost. I’ve never had stainless before and now my appliances don’t match, but I don’t care. Based on how long the old dishwasher lasted, I’ll be needing to replace the others soon too.

I ordered through ABT. I love that store. I remember when I was little, looking at their huge salt water fish tank…mesmerized. I’ve always appreciated their great customer service so why not? Plus, with all the out of stock/shipping delays, they had the one I wanted and would arrive within a few short days.

The dishwasher was delivered (my appliance guy installed it) and I ran it and immediately fell in love. It’s so quiet! I love the way the racks are designed too! I find I can load so much more in it than my old dishwasher. The less often I have to run it the better! And let’s talk about the cycle time…its super short! We really rinse the dishes in our house prior to putting them in the dishwasher so the appliance guy said just running the “Express Wash” cycle would suffice. Even better!!

So all in all I absolutely love our new Kitchen Aid Dishwasher! (Model KDFE104HPS1)
