After replacing my Maytag that I owned for several years, I thought that I would buy a Whirlpool, since I had a Whirlpool dishwasher before. Just over a period of a year the control panel started peeling off the front panel (the adhesive was no longer bonding the touchpad to the panel). Then the cover over the start button had worn out- completed detached from the operating panel. I have called Whirlpool, and they offered not assistance to me at all and deny any "problem" with the control panel design. Another con is the length of time it takes to wash the dishes. The wash cycle takes twice as long as my last Maytag, something I never thought of prior to purchasing this dishwasher. I am very disapointed in this unit and would recommend that you carefully shop around prior to purchasing an unit.

Comments about Whirlpool DU1055XTVS Dishwasher:
Our 30+ y.o. KitchenAide dw broke down the night before Thanksgiving and was not worth repairing. After doing research on several sites decided on this model as PC Richard had the best price and it would fit nicely under out kitchen counter. [...]. Have used it every day and our dishes come out looking like brand new. The machine is very quiet compared to the old one and easy to load. I would highly recommend this dishwasher.
