Description:
The KDFE454CSS uses the SatinGlide Max rail system for its top rack, developed to extend the rack smoothly even with a full load, and it sounds like a quiet-washing KitchenAid dishwasher, as suggested by its low-end 40-dBA noise rating. It also shoots 36 focused spray jets from the back of the dishwasher with its ProScrub option, KitchenAid's take on removing the need to pre-soak tough-soiled dishes.
