The KitchenAid LAVE-VAISSELLE, or dishwasher, is a renowned appliance that combines innovative technology with stylish design to enhance kitchen functionality. Known for its commitment to superior cleaning performance and quality, KitchenAid dishwashers are a go-to choice for many households.

One of the standout features of the KitchenAid LAVE-VAISSELLE is its ProWash Cycle, which intelligently assesses the soil level of dishes and optimizes washing performance accordingly. This ensures that every load receives the appropriate cycle intensity, whether it includes heavily soiled pots and pans or lightly soiled china.

Another remarkable technology is the Light/Heavy cycle, allowing users to select the perfect wash based on the type of load they have. The dishwasher comes with a Flexible Third Rack, providing additional space for utensils and small items, enhancing loading versatility and maximizing the use of available space.

KitchenAid's LAVE-VAISSELLE also includes a Lower Rack with a Scoop Design, which allows taller items to be placed without obstruction.

The interior is often equipped with a stainless-steel tub that retains heat, ensuring better drying performance and resistance to staining.
