KitchenAid earns consistent community praise for build quality, rack design, and cleaning power — often cited as a better-feeling machine than Bosch at the same price. The third rack is a standout feature for households with lots of cookware.
The community keeps coming back to KitchenAid as the Bosch alternative with better racks and a more solid feel. Multiple owners report buying it twice — once at an apartment, once at a new home — which says everything.
“I love our KitchenAid dishwasher! We got the new one with the third rack for $800 during Black Friday last year. We had another KitchenAid at our apartment and it ran perfectly for the four years we were there!”

“The difference in build quality between the KitchenAid and the GEs is significant. Not just that the KA actually works but the materials, engineering, everything is superior at the same price point. Been about five months but no issues so far.”
