Is the Profile comparable to the KitchenAid M series?
In this video, you'll learn the features including reliability based on over 40,000
service calls between the KitchenAid and Profile dishwashers.
In the end, you'll be able to decide
which dishwasher may be right for you and your family.
Let's get started.
Both have good features in completely
different ways, but you should avoid either brand if you want
to place a panel on your dishwasher.
The dishwasher will protrude from your cabinet, so it looks like a dishwasher
with a cabinet front stuck on it, rather than the seamless cabinet look you want.
The European lines of Bosch, Miele,
Beko and Asko are all seamless and will fit inside the cabinet.
KitchenAid meets the minimum standard for quietness at 44 decibels.
The dishwasher is louder than their lesser
200 series at 39 decibels because they added another filter for cleaner water.
GE is below the standard at 42 decibels for technically client dishwasher.
However, Profile still uses their Piranha
disposer and impellers rotating at 3600 rpm to pulverize food.
They're the only company to beat the quietness standard with a grinder.
All the companies use a removable filter
you have to clean.
KitchenAid touts four levels of wash action.
You do have one under each rack, plus smaller holes from the top rack.
Profile advertises three, but one has a smaller spray head on the top.
However, you do have four dedicated bottle washers in the Profile.
They both have third racks for silverware,
however, GE has a separate silverware basket with 40 sprays underneath so it'll be
better to clean the caked off food off your silverware.
Both have improved their drying capabilities.
KitchenAid has their pro dry system of a heated element,
plus the fan. Outside air is directed from the KitchenAid is directed
into the dishwasher. Cooler air is attracted the steamier air
and dissipated as water. Profile uses
the opposite approach with their dry boost system.
The fan pulls the hot air out
of the dishwasher, it'll dry even plastics three times better.
KitchenAid should work because they copied
Miele's clean dry system, which does work.
GE has decent racks,
in many ways, they resemble Bosch with a bottom rack,
a deep adjustable top rack and a third rack. KitchenAid, however, is the best.
Their racks will resemble something NASA
would Engineer with a deeper top and third rack so you can fit more.
You also have smaller sprays mentioned in their wash series.
Profile has microband antimicrobial surfaces on their handles, the front of the racks
and the top of the disposal to kill 99% of the germs.
Ultra Fresh is a fan circulating air
in your dishwasher after the cycle is done to eliminate any moisture.
Residual moisture can lead to mold or more
likely, mildew in a dishwasher. Mildew
is the odor you smell sometimes.
Microban and Ultra Fresh are both proven features of highly successful laundry.
Wifi is not a huge feature for dishwashers.
It doesn't have recipe tie-ins and added value like cooking.
But GE has the best platform for smart functionality called Smart HQ.
In a dishwasher, smart functionality
will allow you to turn your dishwasher on or off,
you can see the time remaining the cycle, and receive a notification when it's
complete. With quietness of a 42 decibel dishwasher,
you'll never open a dishwasher while it's running like I did last night.
GE in all their lines is currently testing service throughout their platform.
Product will send an alert with issues
and diagnose the part to fix. As a repair agent,
self diagnosis would save you a ton
of time and frustration. KitchenAid was incredibly reliable last year
at just 5.5% service and the first year was better than Miele.
This profile dishwasher is completely new so the reliability is yet to be determined.
Almost all their appliances are much
better than average reliability in both Whirlpool,
the parent company KitchenAid and GE have
their own service departments and are the best after the sale.
KitchenAid has better racks and their four level
wash system along with being incredibly reliable. Profile has the better bottle
and silverware washes along with their unique antimicrobial story.
They also have WiFi and then the only quiet dishwasher with a grinder.
Both are good choices, look at service and availability in your area's
for key differentiators. Click the link
