KitchenAid KDPM804KPS

The KitchenAid KDPM804KPS operates at 39 dBA, making it one of the quieter models in KitchenAid's premium tier. This noise level is comparable to Bosch's 800 Series and is quiet enough for open-concept kitchens. At 39 dBA, normal conversation can easily be held in the same room while the dishwasher is running.

The KitchenAid KDPM804KPS uses an Advanced Clean Water Wash system with a filtration system rather than a hard food disposer. This continuously removes food particles from the wash water, keeping it clean throughout the cycle. Like other filter-based systems, the removable filter requires periodic cleaning to maintain performance.

The FreeFlex Third Rack on the KitchenAid KDPM804KPS is a deep top rack designed to hold silverware, cooking tools, and small bowls. It is KitchenAid's deepest third rack offering and includes adjustable tines for different item sizes. This feature competes directly with Bosch's MyWay rack and significantly increases the dishwasher's total capacity.

The KitchenAid KDPM804KPS and the Bosch 800 Series are direct competitors in the premium dishwasher category. The KitchenAid offers a stainless steel tub and a ProWash cycle that adapts to soil levels, while the Bosch 800 Series is generally regarded as slightly quieter and more water-efficient. Both feature deep third racks, though KitchenAid's FreeFlex rack is comparably sized to Bosch's MyWay.
