KitchenAid KUDS30IVSS 24" stainless steel Superba series built-in dishwasher

36 jets, 4 steel arms, 1 optimum sensor

While you might be expecting the leader of an android army from the latest sci-fi flick, what we are, in fact, discussing is a dishwasher. But, by no means any ordinary dishwasher. KitchenAid's KUDS30IVSS built-in dishwasher combines three technologies and design components that together serve up advanced washing performance. First, an Optimum wash sensor measures the conditions within the wash tub, and then automatically adjusts the wash cycle's water level and temperature for maximum cleaning efficiency and performance. Second, a ProScrub wash option uses 36 individual spray jets located at the back of the dishwasher to offer targeted cleaning for stubborn messes. Finally, four stainless steel wash arms spray water to ten precisely angled locations to clean dishes with a 25% improvement over similar dishwashers.

A little interior design

Every aspect of a dishwasher's design plays an important role in determining its level of performance. Ensuring that the KUDS30IVSS delivers nothing less than advanced washing performance, Kitchen aid has outfitted this dishwasher with multiple high-performance interior design features. First, a stainless steel wash tub resists wear and corrosion and, in combination with the Heated Dry option, retains heat longer for drying performance that bests similar dishwashers by up to 44%. Third, a dual-rack system not only accommodates up to 14 place settings, but also sports an adjustable upper rack that can be raised or lowered by two inches, making room for larger dishes on either the upper or lower racks. Finally, eliminating the need to pre-rinse all your dishes, a built-in, 4-blade hard-food disposer effectively grinds down food particles for easy drainage from the machine.

"Clean" is only the beginning

You have a choice. You could pull clean dishes out of your dishwasher. Or you could unload sanitized dishes. KitchenAid's KUDS30IVSS makes the decision easy. An NSF-certified Sanitize wash option raises the temperature of the final rinse water to a level that kills up to 99% of microbes without damaging your dishes. When it comes to clean, choose sanitary.

The efficiency of ENERGY STAR

Seeking to meet your demand to reduce energy use and preserve the environment, KitchenAid has made sure that the KUDS30IVSS meets the U.S. government's standard for ENERGY STAR qualification. What does the ENERGY STAR qualification mean? ENERGY STAR is a government-backed program helping businesses and individuals protect the environment through superior energy efficiency. For the family or homeowner, energy efficient choices can reduce energy consumption and expenses by up to one third while resulting in similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the energy efficient choice. When a product boasts the ENERGY STAR qualification, this means the product meets stringent government standards set by the EPA and US Department of Energy for conserving both energy and the environment. So whether you are concerned for the environment, your pocket book or both, this appliance helps ensure both are given an easier load to bear.
