THOR Kitchen TDW24C7 Dishwasher vs KitchenAid KDTE104ESS Dishwasher

The THOR TDW24C7 is the safer pick for most shoppers. It gives you 7 cycles, 5 options, three spray arms, a third rack, a wine glass bracket and a 304 stainless tub, and its 4.8 rating from 808 owners is consistent. The KitchenAid KDTE104ESS has a stronger brand name and Sabbath mode, but owner reports are sharply split: some praise the quiet wash and styling, others cite food residue, wet dishes and parts failing in the first year. Buy the THOR for reliable cleaning and features; buy the KitchenAid only if Sabbath mode or the KitchenAid look matters more than consistency.

• Choose the THOR TDW24C7 if you want the most features and the most consistent owner feedback for the money.
• Choose the KitchenAid KDTE104ESS if you need Sabbath mode and prefer its top-control styling, and you accept the mixed owner reports.
