The Kitchen Aid Dishwasher has come a long way in a short while. With a number of innovative features, sleek, modern styling and although they tend to be at the higher end of the price scale, they're worth the extra cost.

Kitchen Aid in general has become a high-end brand. It's known mainly for its high end line of mixers. Their dishwashers are usually available only through independent dealers and focus more on the quality and quantity of features available rather than on coming in at a low price point.

KitchenAid was started back in 1919 by the Hobart Corp, but is now owned by the Whirlpool Corporation .
