Flexibility is another hallmark of these KitchenAid models, with adjustable upper racks and fold-down tines that accommodate larger pots and pans while ensuring optimal space utilization. The KUDC24SE offers additional specialized wash zones, including a dedicated space for utensils and smaller items, allowing for a tailored cleaning experience.

In terms of energy efficiency, both models meet Energy Star qualifications, using less water and energy per cycle compared to traditional dishwashers. The Eco Wash cycle offers gentle cleaning, further reducing water usage while still maintaining effective cleaning performance.
