How loud is the WDP540HAMZ?

Whirlpool rates it at 55 dBA. That is audible from an adjacent room, so it is a better fit for a closed kitchen than an open-plan one.

How many place settings does it hold?

Twelve place settings. That covers a family of three or four for a day of dishes, but a large family will likely run it daily.

Yes. It is a 24-inch fully integrated model built for a standard under-counter cutout, with the controls hidden behind the door panel.

Five cycles. That is a basic set compared with rivals that add sensor, quick and specialty cycles.

It is ENERGY STAR certified, and Whirlpool claims the Triple Filtration Wash System uses about 50% less water than the industry standard.

The dishwasher itself. Power cord, water supply line and mounting hardware are often sold separately, so check before install day.
