Features & Specs - Whirlpool DU930PWS[ ]
Sensor A sensor adjusts water usage and cycle time to the amount of soil on the dishes. This should make a dishwasher use water more efficiently, but we found that wasn't always the case. Moreover, a sensor can increase a machine's running time. Sensor	No
Self-cleaning filter A filter that cleans itself is convenient, but it can contribute to noise. Note that it's often the costly foreign brands that lack self-cleaning filters and require periodic manual cleaning of the filter. Self-cleaning filter	Yes
Stainless-steel tub Unlike a plastic tub, a stainless-steel one won't discolor, but it does increase the cost of a dishwasher by about $100. Stainless-steel tub	No
Hidden controls Controls along the top edge of the door contribute to a sleeker look. Some models hide all controls; others hide only some controls. Hidden controls	No
Ample flatware slots Flatware baskets with lids provide individual slots for most of the utensils in our silverware load. Such lids prevent "nesting" and thus improve flatware cleaning. It is more time-consuming to load the cutlery into individual slots, though, so you can remove the lids if you prefer. Ample flatware slots	Data not available
Adjustable upper rack Most models hold cups and glasses on the top rack, plates on the lower rack, and silverware in a basket. The ability to adjust the upper rack up or down an inch or so allows for more flexibility in loading items such as tall glasses. Adjustable upper rack	No
Stainless/SS-look option Stainless-steel is stylish, but it shows fingerprints. Another option: a vinyl-covered metal finish that gives you a stainless-steel look but resists smudging. Stainless/SS-look option	No

OK but hard to load

By Barbara from Tallahassee, FL on 1/10/2010

Pros:

Simple Controls

Cons:

Awkward Loading

Best Uses:

Smaller Kitchens

Describe Yourself:

Avid Cook

How long have you owned it:

More than six months

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This was a replacement washer for a [...] model that was a lemon due to a faulty Jet Dry dispenser. Selected this Whirlpool because it did NOT have the same dispenser as the replaced dish washer. Had problems with it getting dishes clean; scum on finished dishes no matter which cycle I used. Finally found a detergent (Finish tablets) that works and now have clean dishes.

would buy again!
