Are Kitchenaid dishwasher reviews generally positive?

Reviews for Kitchenaid dishwashers are generally positive at the websites for Best Buy and Home Depot. Most of the dishwashers that have reviews earn at least four stars in the five star rating systems.

Positive comments at Best Buy state that Kitchenaid dishwashers are quiet, save energy, load easily and have large capacities. Less supportive reviews say that they are not durable, do not dry well and sometimes leak.

Home Depot's highest ratings appreciate the dishwashers' sturdy and adjustable racks, as well as the ability to clean food off of plates. Negative statements remark that the dishwasher emits an unpleasant smell, performs poorly, causes water spots and starts to rust relatively quickly.
