Your dishwasher is one of your most essential kitchen appliances. No one wants to imagine life without one. What would you do after making dinner; wash everything by hand? Never. A high-quality dishwasher facilitates easy clean-up, which makes for easier food preparation. And that, my friends, is priceless. If you’re looking for a new dishwasher, you’re likely considering a KitchenAid due to its quality and performance. As the premier Sacramento KitchenAid dealer, we’ll discuss the brand, its dishwasher features, and our top favorites this year. And you can come to see models in person at our Sacramento KitchenAid showroom.
Why Choose a KitchenAid Dishwasher Over Other Brands?
KitchenAid is a wonderful example of a brand that can listen to its consumer base and respond effectively. KitchenAid is an older company and was the first to design and introduce home dishwashers featuring pressurized water for washing. These dishwashers debuted in 1949, and by 2010, KitchenAid was one of the top kitchen appliance brands. Soon after, however, competition emerged from European manufacturers, with more quiet dishwashers that featured superior drying. KitchenAid has since bounced back with re-designed dishwashers that are quieter than ever with excellent cleaning and drying technology.
