Description:
The KDFE204ESS, by KitchenAid, features a third-level rack, an increasingly-popular feature in high-end (and some mid-range) dishwashers, to allow more space in the lower two racks and accomodate hard-to-wash utensils, while it joins the bandwagon of easy rack-sliding with its SatinGlide Max Rails system, which KitchenAid says will let you smoothly extend fully-loaded racks. To wrap it up, it prefers to mingle with less rowdy dishwashers with its 46-decibel sound rating, a competitive figure by mid-range dishwasher standards.
Also known as: Kitchenaid KDFE204EBL, Kitchenaid KDFE204EWH.
