Whirlpool Dishwasher - "Quiet Partner 2" Built-in Reviews

My husband & I have lived in 8 homes in  20 years.  We built our current home in 2003, & chose Whirlpool appliances for the kitchen.  We have the Whirlpool Quiet Partner II dishwasher, & though it is very quiet, there's nothing else to say even remotely positive about it.  My dishes frequently come out dirtier than they went in!  I have tried (literally) every dishwashing detergent made, & it doesn't make much difference.  It doesn't rinse food off the plates, lipstick stays on the glasses, & don't get me started on the silverware.  We have already replaced the racks, because so many tines...

 we bought our Whirlpool Quiet Partner II about 3 years ago,and we really don't care for it. Our number 1 complaint is that it takes 3 hours or more to run the most basic "normal" wash cylcle.Thats not counting drying time at all.

      Is this the normal time it takes for other peoples Quiet Partner ii?

Purchased this dishwasher not very long ago and it has since broke! It was never very quiet to start with...considering the name, and it never cleaned the dishes very well.  Loved the look of the dishwasher, but as far as quality...it leaves much to be desired. Great price but that's about it.  Pretty sure the motor went on it and can buy a new washer cheaper...right.  I wish we would have researched more about dishwashers before we just bought one, but I had heard good things about them so I thought we would try and of course the salesman said it was a great running machine...ha.  I have now...

I wish I had read some review before buying this pice of junk!  Whirlpool has done well in the past for us, so when we needed a new dishwasher we didn't hesitate to get the Quiet Partner II.

It is quieter than our old Maytag, but that is all I can say positive about it!  Dishes often do not come out clean, especially if you put too much in ("too much" means not leaving lots of empty space).  Soap is left on the glasses -- fill them up with water and we can see the bubbles floating on top!  We have even tried different deteregents.  Now we are in the habit of just rinsing out the "clean"...

We purchased this machine 8 years ago when this house was built.  We knew next to nothing about dishwashers but since we have an open floor plan, we needed a quiet one.

This was "sort of" quiet when we first got it, but after 8 years, we're looking for a new one.  Dishes do not come out great and it makes more noise now than my new clothes washer. We're two adults so it's not like we have tons of dishes to do.  We've used dishwasher cleaner and we always use Jetclean and still no luck.

Look around and spend a little extra and really get something better for your buck.

This is the dishwasher we had installed here at my office.  This dishwasher runs EVERY NIGHT, Mon-Fri.  We have 18 employees and usually get it pretty full each day with coffee cups, glasses, lunch plates and leftover containers.  I don't know how long it runs because we always set the delay so it runs after-hours.  We are just now replacing the racks.  It has seen a lot of action since APRIL 2002.  Seven years = 1,820 wash loads and now new racks.  Though we don't require scouring, nor do we load pots or pans, still pretty good for the money, I'd say.

I went to consumer reports and this washer was rated a best buy. I just don't get it. The price was good but my old Maytag had much better features and cleaning power. It is quieter than the old Maytag by but the Maytag never pretended to be a quite washer. This washer is not that quiet. Take one look at it and you know why. NO sound insulation, most of the sound comes right out the front door through the steam hole. Its kind of like a Bose speaker system for dishwasher noise. Weak effort for sound control. It also uses a new propriatry walter hook up. HD, LOWS and BestB did not even carry it....
