Whirlpool Dishwasher - Quiet Partner 1 Reviews

Dishwashers were once perceived as a luxury, but they have slowly become more and more commonplace and many consider a dishwasher a necessary part of any kitchen. I appreciate dishwashers more than ever before and I realize their usefulness not only as a time saving device, but also as an energy saving appliance. After my last dishwasher drew its final breath, I immediately began shopping for a replacement and the appliance I ended up buying is the Whirlpool Quiet Partner Dishwasher, Model DU1055XTS, a medium- priced dishwasher with all the basics plus a little bit more.

Dishwasher Commentary:...

When shopping for a dishwasher, we tried our hardest to find an American made product. Discovered that was almost impossible. This one had components made in the US and Canada, which was acceptable. We have had the dishwasher for six months, it is used at least once per day and I have nothing but good things to say about it. The utensil basket is in the door, which frees up the entire bottom basket for large pots, pans, lids and dishes. I wash all of my plastics in the dishwasher as well and have never had them shrink or melt in this particular dishwasher. I have inserted items with dried, stuck...

Whirlpool Quiet Partner 1 does not dry. I have loaded the dishes correctly, at an angle. I make sure my rinse agent dispenser is full. Water temperature is 120 degrees. However, dishes are still wet at end of cycle. Glass, utensils, and plastic are all wet. My previous dishwasher was a whirlpool and it would dry so well I had to let the dishes cool before I took them out. This dishwasher does not heat up and the dishes are lukewarm. The dishwasher does not sanitize when the water is not hot. I have had a repairman to come out and check the dishwasher out. No problems were found. However, I continue...

We purchased our Whirlpool Quiet Partner 1 dishwasher about 5 years ago. It was supposed to run quiet, but we find that we have to turn up the tv in the other room when it is running. It does a fair job at washing dishes, but leaves some items with food on them. This does not happen all of the time, but if we have a bigger load, then I end up putting dishes back in the dishwasher to reclean these items. Another thing that I do not care for is that glasses that come out of the dishwasher are etched, which means that they have a cloudy look to them that does not come off, it is like a permanent stain....

My dishwasher of 19 years was old and tired of being repaired.  I wanted to go with stainless steel to match my thermodor range and I will eventually buy a stainless refrigerator too.  I love the Whirlpool Quiet Parnter I........it is very quiet.  It doesn't start until the water is hot which my other dishwasher didn't do.  I love the utencil tray that is on the door.  It has flaps that close so you can put small objects in there without losing them.  The tray pulls out so you can carry it to your utencil drawer.  The space in this dishwasher is fantastic.  I can get all 12 plates in the...

I must admit we hastily made this purchase before reviewing any dishwashers. The reason we purchased it -- it matched our other appliances. I trust the Whirlpool name, but I definitely would not buy this model again. It is not quiet, and now after a few years of use, it gets noisier each time we use it.

The worst part is that the racks are not adjustable, so you're stuck with having to put the dishes into it without any regard to space. It's inefficient because of this fact alone.

It's okay for washing dishes, as long as they are not too dirty. Also, it doesn't do a good job drying and I find...

     well i am very happy with my whirlpool quiet partner 1 dishwasher. i can fit almost all of my items in my kitchen into my whirlpool quiet partner 1 dishwasher. it has four cycles to choose from including the sanitize option. it also has 3 options. the only items i cant put in there with all the other dishes is the big pots and baking pans. if i have a small load i can angle them to get them washed in the dish washer. the quiet partner 1 by whirlpool cleans my dishes well. the baked on food is not cleaned though. i wasnt aware that one came with a turbowash option. i would have gotten that...

Total waste of $400!!! The washer takes 3 hours to run a cycle. Did not work from day one. Flimsy parts.... Note to self... never buy the cheapest product nor the highest price! Go for the middle option!
