Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tiny but powerful [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect size for my little house. Full features in a small package. Living alone I don't need a full size plus I need the space.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Very quietl Does a good job cleaning. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am very happy with this dishwasher. I wish the silverware basket were in a better place. Maybe up front? Hard to know where would be better. My big problem is that I cannot clear the control panel!! If I accidently hit start, I have to wait unitl the next time I use it (beeps and all). There is a cancel button (same as start) but I am yet to clear the display until it clears itself after a cycle completes! Manual not helpful.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Dishwasher [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this due to having a small area and fits perfect. Was disappointed that it doesn't come with the electric cord. Had to go to purchase that separately. Otherwise satisfied.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fantastic machine [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is perhaps one of the best dishwashers I've ive own in the past 40 years. Super quiet, efficient and uncomplicated to use. Dishes always sparkle after every wash. Would buy again and again!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from new dishwasher! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used it the first time tow nights ago. When I applied power to it, the rinse aid light turned on and it would beep every minute for days until I was ready to do a load of dishes. the display said 2:15, but the cycle took much less than that. It finished about 1:38. It hasn't beeped since, and the display is now blank. I tried looking for the full manual on this unit, but it is not on the website, as the condensed manual the came with the unit indicates. So when can I get the full manual. The dishwasher seems to work well, the noisiest thing I hear is when it drains.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect size! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my 18 inch dishwasher a month ago. It is the perfect size for 2 people! I really like all the features and the low noise level. It does a great job at getting the dishes clean.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Wonderful to operate and uses less space. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dishwasher has lots of space inside and most of all - it’s very quiet. Would definitely recommend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Small dishwasher [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this dishwasher in July and am very happy with it. We have a small kitchen, and it fits perfectly. The dishes come out beautifully clean. MY ONLY COMPLAINT The installers did NOT attach it to the bottom of the counter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Love the dishwasher! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve had the dishwasher fir almost a month and I love it! Very clean dishes with no watermarks at all.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Quiet [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a small condo with an open floor plan so of course I can hear the dishwasher operating. This dishwasher has the nicest sound as it goes through the cycles. I like that I can forego the heated dry feature.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Small but impressive We needed an 18" dishwasher to conserve kitchen space, and there were not too many choices. We are very happy with this dishwasher. It fits big plates on the right side and smaller plates on the left and up front. It holds an impressive amount of dishes for it's small size. It runs very quiet and dishes are dry if you use a drying agent.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect for the space [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I live alone in a 2 bedroom condo. I downgraded from the traditional size (24in) dishwasher to this 18in during my kitchen reno and it's perfect. I never feel like I'm wasting water/electricity because I can actually fill this up in a reasonable amount of time before needing the particular spatula/bowl again or before the unwashed plates/utensils start to smell. It's pretty quiet during the process, too. For a single occupant of this condo, this is perfect. I would say this is perfect for a couple, too. May be too small for 3 or more persons.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from small but might! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I sold my home and moved into a mother in law suite my son owns. I ordered all new whirlpool appliances including this dishwasher. originally there wasn't one in the kitchen because of space limitations. this dishwasher was exactly what we needed. it was perfect for the island my son was building to give me more workable space in my kitchen. I love the stainless steel interior and the print free exterior. this dishwasher will clean a load of dishes for a family of 5 and cleans and dries the dishes spotlessly. best dishwasher I've ever owned.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great features! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My old Whirlpool dishwasher died after 10 years of faithful service and I knew I wanted another Whirlpool. Other brands didn't have all the selections for wash cycles I wanted, and none seemed to have the option of air dry or heat dry. It's easy to make the selection I want and the display is nice and bright and easy to read. It reminds me when the washing is done with a beep. The racks are sturdy and can load a lot, though I'm still trying to get used to the new layout. I like the reminder to add rinse aid too. All in all I know I made the right decision to go with Whirlpool again!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Talk about a Delightful surprize! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this after a 45 year wait to replace a portable dishwasher. I was unwilling to give up the cabinet space for a regular sized unit. This 18" apartment sized unit is deep-quiet-good looking and fit inside a cabinet with a bit of trim help. Absolutely a delight to have. Quite expensive worth the price.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My best appliance [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my best appliance to date. Didn't have room for a full size but this 18 inch performed way beyond our expatiations. It is very simple to use and extremely quiet. This is perfect for a family of 2, 3 or 4. We are proud to show it off.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Can't believe how much fits in it! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] replaced my 18 inch dishwasher with a whirlpool. Same external dimensions as its predecessor but the whirlpool is quieter and more effective, Rarely have to use the heavy or hot water settings, the light setting works like a charm.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Does it's Job! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 2 months ago and love it every time I empty it. My dishes are clean and clear every time. I do not prewash. I never thought I would even want a dishwasher. Now try to take it away.
Date published: 2020-02-24
Rated 5 out of 5 by from very quiet. works excellent [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] WE are glad that we purchased this dishwasher. The only downfall is the cycles are very long
Date published: 2020-01-14
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Good Things Come In Small Packages! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased a condo and did not realize there was no dishwasher. I had a full closet right by the kitchen sink water lines. I had not heard of a small size dishwasher like this, but I was able to get this and have it installed in the bottom space of that closet. This dishwasher works wonderfully and I am grateful to have it. I compared various brands when I shopped and this one got the best customer reviews. I am not sorry I chose it. It is not too loud, does a good job and fit in the space without having to do a huge remodel. The only thing I will say is that it was a bit pricey compared to regular size models, but you always seem to have pay more for any type of a specialty model of anything. I would still recommend this to anyone who is in need of a good dishwasher to fit in a small space. Thank you Whirpool! :)

Rated 5 out of 5 by from We're really surprised! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This dishwasher was in a new home we purchased. We looked at it and thought " We're going to have to wash dishes three times a day". We were amazed that it holds our whole day's load of dishes, does a better job than our old full-size dishwasher, and is so quiet that we can start it and watch the news on TV at the same time. We are glad the builder chose this model. We would have never thought it would be so good.
