Costumers reviews
Let me start out by saying that I thought very hard about whether to give this dishwasher 2 or 3 stars. I will discuss in detail why I chose to rate this product as I did. My wife and I had a very nice high end dishwasher $600 price range, and after several years the motor died. (New motor was $275, cheaper to just buy a new washer.) Coincidentally, we had just put the house on the market, so we didn't want to shell out a ton of money again. We opted for the Amana Stainless Steel dishwasher to fill the "look" of our upscale kitchen. For $300, no tax and free shipping...can't go wrong? Right? Well, we got what we paid for. I even "stole" the noise dampening padding from our old dishwasher and fit it around the outer tub of the new Amana. My dB reader records an average sound level of 76dB which is 7dB more than the description. I'm not sure if they took that reading on the drying/heat cycle, but this thing is loud. It sounds like a jet engine in your kitchen. We have an open kitchen layout that goes into our living room. Even with surround sound, it is hard to compensate for the amount of noise this thing makes if you try to watch TV with a load running. If you are expecting a true stainless steel dishwasher, this isn't it. At first, I noticed during installation that the front felt like a tool box. Curiosity got the best of me and I quickly grabbed a magnet to perform an informal science experiment. Sure enough, the magnet "sticks" to the so called stainless steel. I have a $2500 stainless steel refrigerator and magnets do not stick to it. I'm pretty sure this is made of sheet metal. It has a very primitive coarse feel to the touch. My fridge has a very smooth glassy feel to it. In the factory, they most likely perform quality checks. I can understand that they want to make sure the product works before they ship it out. But hey, drain the water with an air compressor! Eeeek. I tipped the dishwasher on it's "face" on my carpet to prewire the hardwiring prior to installation (access panel is on the bottom side). When I put it back on it's feet, my carpet was soaked with water. User error? Yeah, I take some of the blame. I suppose I should have checked to make sure there wasn't anything inside. I just figured that it just came out of the box and plastic wrap, that they would never leave that much water trapped inside. If I had to guess, I would say maybe 1/2 gallon leaked out. The last thing that bothers me is that there are only two settings really. Heavy and Normal. My previous dishwasher had a Light wash mode. This is a nice feature when you don't quite have a lot of dishes or the soil level is very low. I'm not counting that against this model, because that wouldn't be comparing apples to apples. It's just an inconvenience that bothered me. Overall even though I pointed out several negatives, the function to value ratio is pretty high to me. I am glad to have only spent a few hundred dollars rather than six hundred plus! Anything beats having to wash the dishes by hand. So let's recap here. Pros - On a budget? $300 shipped for a dishwasher that works, excellent deal. - Beats doing the dishes by hand. - Cleans 7/10 in my opinion, not bad. Cons - Loud, about 76dB according to my test. - No sound insulation included. - Fake stainless steel. Be more specific, you are selling a stainless steel "appearance." - Pre filled with water at factory. Messy. - Release door handle is very stiff. You have to hip-check the door to close. My old dish washer would close with your pinky finger. - Lacks a "Light wash" cycle
