Buy With Confidence

Not only did I hope that the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive DW6030 Dishwasher would lived up to expectations, but it blew them out of the water! I'm super impressed with its overall performance. So many amazing features that I've actually enjoyed learning about. You can also rest assure as it comes with a 3 year warranty, plus 5 year warranty on the motor. The dishwasher also uses only 11.8 litres of water per wash, which gives the Kleenmaid DW6030 Dishwasher 5 star water rating, which is fantastic. The Kleenmaid DW6030 Dishwasher has so many features my old dishwasher didn't have, my favourite being how quiet is it when is running due to the brushless DC motor. Oh and did I mention it cleans amazingly. And thats the most important thing right! Overall I'm extremely happy with my Kleenmaid Dishwasher and would recommend to anyone looking at purchasing a new dishwasher. :)
Christmas preparation made easy!
by ErinVCombined rating
Whoever said baking with an over enthusiastic toddler is fun and easy has never done it in real life! Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love baking with my 2 year old daughter Siena, and we do it often! Siena loves putting on our matching aprons and pouring, mixing, rolling and tasting our recipes. That being said, the entire process is always very stressful and very messy! Siena and I made two types of cookies for Christmas 2018 which resulted in an overwhelmingly messy kitchen. You can imagine my husbands surprise (after telling him we were spending the afternoon baking) when he came home to a spotless kitchen. My final batch of cookies took 15 minutes to bake, and I managed to clean up the entire kitchen in that time with Siena dancing around my feet. This is where the magic of the Kleenmaid DW6030 came into play. I was able to fit all the baking implements (measuring cups, jugs, spoons, and small bowls) into the upper basket. The lower basket allowed me to fit 2 large Kitchenaid bowls, as well as large mixing bowls and our lunch dishes by folding down the dish racks with the easily adjustable features. Using the heavy cycle (Pre-wash at 45 degrees, wash at 55 degrees, rinse, second rinse at 65 degrees, drying) ensured that all the butter, cookie dough and icing residue was cleaned off dishes completely, before they were thoroughly dried. The heavy cycle runs for 185 minutes, using 1.1 KWh of energy and 15 Litres of water. Usually I would take at least an hour to clean the kitchen, hand washing and drying all the dishes. So I’m more than happy to let the Kleenmaid DW6030 take the stress out of Christmas preparations!
Friends Are Impressed
by LCotte60Combined rating
Friends who have come over have commented, on my new amazing toy in my kitchen. I love showing them some of the cool features. We had friends over for dinner, so after the table was cleared I proceeded to fill the dishwasher with my girlfriends eyes directly on me. She had never seen a buttonless dishwasher and couldn't believe when I opened and showed her the control panel within the door. My kids have also taken a liking to the Kleenmaid DW6030 Eco Sensitive Dishwasher. They are willing to help with stacking the dishwasher without too much complaints. My 8 year old daughter loves using the cutlery draw and placing our cutlery neatly side by side. She finds it very easy to use, which is great for a mum who is looking for chores the kids can do. Would recommend this dishwasher to all my friends and family.
Impressed Its So Whisper Quiet
by LCotte60Combined rating
Loads of dirty dishes have gone through my Kleenmaid DW6030 Eco Sensitive Dishwasher. I’ve used a selection of different washing options. The washing options you can select from are Auto, Intensive, Heavy, ECO, Glass, 90 min, Rapid and Soak. And from these While using some of these washing options I’m amazed at how whisper quiet it is. This is due to the Kleenmaid's DW6030 Brushless DC Motor. Our lounge room is located directly next to our kitchen, so quiet is important! It’s great that we can watch a movie while having our dishwasher on, without being disturbed by loud noises. If it wasn’t because of the outside display screen, you would think the dishwasher is not even on.
I’m simply amazed at how much this dishwasher can fit..with ease!
by Michelle_BurgerCombined rating
am absolutely thrilled with the large volume of dishes I can easily fit into this amazing dishwasher. A simple push handle release adjusts the upper basket making it a breeze to fit large pots, pans and baking trays etc. The upper basket provides fold back racks to secure glassware or easily fold down to accomodate larger items such as protein cups, tupperware, lids and saucers. The seperate cutlery drawer holds 74 pieces of cutlery without impending on the upper and lower baskets. The design and functionality of the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive DW6030 dishwasher is incredibly user friendly and simply genius in my opinion.
Don't Worry Mums - Plenty of Room Inside
by LCotte60Combined rating
The Kleenmaid DW6030 Dishwasher has heaps of room inside. It is big enough to accommodate a, 15 place setting. That’s roomy right! You can fit more in, due to the sliding detergent dispenser. This is a great future. You have an upper basket which you use for placing cups, saucers and small bowls. I also pop my sons baby bottles in here. The lower basket is for plates and larger objects like pots and pans. This is where the real dirty items should go. And the cutlery basket. Still getting use to the cutlery drawer as my last dishwasher had removable standing cutlery basket. You just lay cutlery in the draw, so they are not touching. With the upper basket, you can adjust the height level easily. I’ve used both heights in different loads I’ve put on. The cutlery draw can also be adjusted into 5 different positions. There is a diagram on the front of the tray to show you all the different positions you can use. One of the positions allows you to slide one half of the try on top of the other. This allowed me to place our tall protein shaker cups in the basket below. So far, we have found all our dirty items can easily fit in the Kleenmaid DW6030 Dishwasher, without any fuss. This means I don't have items needing to be hand washed, because they don't fit into the dishwasher. This makes me extremely happy.
So Many Wash Options
by LCotte60Combined rating
I really love the external look of the Kleenmaid DW6030 Dishwasher. It makes my kitchen look so pretty. You will see no buttons present on the front door but on opening, you will see the control panel nicely hidden away. Great for little fingers, who love to push buttons mid wash. There are 8 pre-set wash programmes with 32 optional variations. So, I’m sure there will always be option for whatever wash type I need. I found using the settings quite simple to use. A feature that I haven’t seen before is dual zone wash, which means you can select that only the upper or lower water nozzle is activated during the wash cycle. Great for when you only have half a load needing washing. You also have a delay start feature which allows you to determine when you want the next wash to start. When you shut the door, you will see the temp, wash load selected and the time remaining on the front screen during the wash cycle. You will always know when its going to be time, to start unpacking. :)
If Looks Could Kill..... Kleenmaid DW6030 Dishwasher Looks SPECTACULAR!
by LCotte60Combined rating
If looks could kill, then the Kleenmaid DW6030 Dishwasher would. It looks spectacular. Had the Kleenmaid dishwasher for 24 hours and I’m in love. At first appearance you will see no buttons on the front door. The control panel is tucked away inside the door. This gives the dishwasher a clean appearance. Inside you have a cutlery rack, upper and lower basket. The upper basket can be adjusted to sit high or low. You can lower the upper basket, if you have tall cups in it or make higher if you have larger pots in the lower basket. Packing the dishwasher was tricky, as it was heaps different to my old model. I think in time, I will pack it like a pro. I can’t tell you the last time I was so excited to stack the dishwasher. LOL.. I put a load and selected the AUTO function which runs for 150 minutes. And then the most mind-blowing thing happened…….. It was quiet. My old dishwasher sounded like it was about to take flight. But not the Kleenmaid DW6030 Dishwasher, it was whisper quiet. Once the cycle was done, the dishes came out sparkly clean and streak free. YIPPEE!! Looking forward to playing more with my Kleenmaid DW6030 Eco Sensitive Stainless Steel Dishwasher and letting you all know.
Absolutely love this machine!
by Mum2archerCombined rating
The Kleenmaid DW6030 is amazing! Firstly, it's not just a dishwasher but a statement for your kitchen...it's stunning! I love the look of this dishwasher as it's stylish, modern and sleek, so not only does it work really well, it looks gorgeous doing it! I like everything about this machine, but I'll go through a few of my favorites. Firstly, it's super quiet. I have a young son and a small house, so any noise that gets made it easily heard anywhere in the home. My son is a light sleeper too, so I was a bit worried about how noisy it was going to be, but it's so quiet! I even forget its on until it beeps to me to tell me it's finished! I also love that the buttons are all hidden on the top of the door and not visible at the front. This was a huge tick in my books as inquisitive little hands like to press buttons, but without them on show, he has no interest in it at all. I think it looks very sleek too with just the control panel on the front. The cutlery draw is great as you can configure it into 5 different settings so you can always fit what you need to in and can even condense it so you can fit taller things in on the second shelf like glasses etc. It has so many variations on settings from glasses, to intensive...even an auto setting so it works out for you what setting it needs to go on! There really is a setting for whatever you need to wash. And don't worry, all the settings are easy to figure out and program - you don't need a degree! The top shelf can be lowered or placed up high to allow for more flexibility and ease of things fitting in the lower shelf which I think is a brilliant feature. It has a light too which, while isn't necessary in a dishwasher, is a great feature allowing you to see right into the back while loading and unloading. Finally it has a 5 star water rating which is absolutely brilliant in keeping your water bill down and also reducing the amount of water being wasted. In all, I am 100% happy with this Kleenmaid dishwasher. Easy to use and understand, It really is a beautiful dishwasher with so many features to suit any family dynamic. I would definitely recommend this and tell anyone who is in the market for a new dishwasher to go and look at one because I would find it hard to fault.
What food residue? A thing of the past!
by kateaCombined rating
My new Kleenmaid DW6030 does such a thorough job - even with pans covered in food residue. I can fit 4 or 5 pots and pans in one load so I often use the "Intensive" programme which is designed specifically for the job. In the past (particularly if I've left pots overnight), I've had to wash them again once the cycle was finished. Now though, there's no need, because they come out squeaky clean! The Intensive Cycle takes 175 minutes (and remember the time is displayed on the front so you can always see how long is left), and it's the hottest cycle available. It washes at 60 degrees and rinses at 70 degrees and then it dries (most of the cycles dry - and I do like that feature). I'm thrilled with it - it's so efficient and has definitely made life easier!
It's the little things...
by kateaCombined rating
There are so many things I love about my new Kleenmaid DW6030 dishwasher, but one feature that stands out for me is the multi tilt rack that is designed to accomodate long stemmed glasses. You push the stems in firmly and they are gripped so securely that they don't budge an inch during the cycle. My old dishwasher didn't hold the glasses in the same way so you'd often find them on their side full of water or worse still, broken. It's a small thing, but whilst entertaining over Christmas it's been a life saver. Before, I'd have hand washed the glasses in case of breakage, so the Kleenmaid has been brilliant and saved me time and effort! Five stars!
Exceptional clean, streak free results EVERY TIME!
by Michelle_BurgerCombined rating
Three weeks of daily use and I am completely blown away with how well the Kleenmaid Eco Sensitive dishwasher cleans and dries all dishes plastic, glass, silicone, china, ceramic, stainless steel no matter how greasy and heavily soiled. I’ve left dirty dishes sitting in the dishwasher for over 24 hours (waiting for a full load) before washing and the results are perfect every time! When hand washing I found I could never fully remove the greasy/oily film on my roasting racks and casserole dishes..One wash on Eco cycle in the dishwasher and those pesky dishes are now squeaky clean and look brand new, I am absolutely amazed!
Adjustable features to meet any needs!
by ErinVCombined rating
Not only does the Kleenmaid DW3060 give you a multitude of wash cycles and choice through the control panel, it also has completely adjustable internal shelving! I never would have thought that the internal shelving of a dishwasher could be adjusted to meet my family’s individual needs. The adjustments are easy to do and easy to find through the use of red contrasting materials. First of all, you can adjust the height of the upper basket. This is easy adjustment is suggested to accomodate taller dishes in either the upper or lower basket. Wow! This is definitely not a feature I have ever seen on a dishwasher before. Secondly, the upper basket has folding cup shelves that are simple to click up and down. When clicked into place, the dishwasher can accomodate tall glasses, such as wine glasses that lean in the grooves on the cup shelves. This was a feature I was definitely interested in for the nights when I have a few friends over and use a number of glasses! The cup shelves can also be removed when not in use. Lastly, the plate spikes on the lower basket can be completely folded down to allow for large items such as pots. This is extremely exciting for me given that we do a huge about of cooking, like making our own pasta sauce. This means I can put ALL of those huge saucepans straight into the dishwasher! Safe to say I’m thoroughly impressed with how user friendly this dishwasher is, catering to the individual and ever changing needs of my family!
Spotless Kitchen in 30 Minutes!
by ErinVCombined rating
My toddler Siena and husband Michael can usually make enough mess in the kitchen to look like a cyclone has entered our house. After the Kleenmaid DW6030 was installed I was so excited to give it a test run. With a huge amount of space, different stacking options, a cup tray and separate cutlery tray, it was an absolute breeze to fit a days worth of dishes in (plus a few large containers). I wanted to test out the rapid wash - which only took 30 minutes! That’s faster than my washing machine! The rapid wash does a full wash (at 45 degrees celsius) and two rinses (at 55 degrees celsius) in the shorter 30 minute timeframe. It uses 0.7 Kwh of energy and 12.5L of water. With it’s shorter wash time, it does omit the drying setting which is included in every other wash, so for that reason I probably wouldn’t use this particular wash cycle on a daily basis. I would much rather let the dishwasher dry my dishes than having to do them myself! However, after giving birth to our second daughter Emilia only 9 days ago, I was extremely excited to have the kitchen spotless in a short 30 minutes! If you had told me a month ago I would be ecstatic about cleaning the kitchen and stacking a dishwasher I probably would have fallen over laughing. Tomorrow is a new day, and another chance to test out a different wash cycle!
My kids are so happy to have more time with Mum!
by Michelle_BurgerCombined rating
I love how much spare time I have every day now that I no longer have to hand wash anything at all thanks to the amazing Kleenmaid DW6030 Eco Sensitive dishwasher. I use my dishwasher twice a day. One quick 90 minute express wash for the mountains of cups, plates, bowls, glasses, lunchboxes and cutlery my kids use daily. In the evening I use the Eco sensitive wash for dinner plates, pots, pans, baking trays, cooking utensils and heavily soiled items. I’m yet to find anything this amazing appliance can’t wash off perfectly! Grease, baked on foods and dishes I would normally have to scrub and scrub are washed off with ease, I am extremely impressed!
Oily mess no more!
by ErinVCombined rating
My husband’s family is Italian, and my family is Australian so we cook a wide range of foods. One of the hardest things to clean is our homemade tomato pasta sauce. We cook it it in a large frypan, store it in plastic containers, and eat it over pasta with lots of pecorino cheese! All of which creates lots of mess, without even considering all the utensils needed for the preparation. The sauce contains fresh tomatoes and LOTS of olive oil so it really stains everything and leaves all dishes with an oily residue. Often we will hand wash containers and dishes twice just to get them clean! After making a double batch of sauce this week we decided to put the Kitchenmaid DW6030 through its paces. We loaded it up with all of the oily and tomato stained dishes - it was full to the brim! We used the intensive wash - which is described as: Pre-wash(50degrees), wash (60degrees), rinse, rinse, rinse (70degrees), drying. It’s running time is 175 minutes, using 1.5Kwh of energy and 19L of water. Well, I can say I was completely impressed with the results! After the 175 minute intensive cycle there were no stains or residue to be seen. Obviously I will be making better use of my time and won’t be hand washing any tomato sauce dishes in the near future!
Designed with me in mind?
by kateaCombined rating
Definitely designed with me (and my family) in mind! The Kleenmaid DW630 Dishwasher is so practical: not only does it have a five star water rating, it's also easy to use, it's really roomy (you can fit FIFTEEN place settings inside) and it's flexible. The upper shelf for more delicate items is height adjustable meaning you can either load smaller mugs, dishes, cups and saucers on two levels, OR you can fit in taller cups or Tupperware (very handy), leaving he lower basket free for saucepans and plates. The wine glass rack is the BEST I've ever used, it grips the wine glass stems very firmly to keep them safe during the cycle. It's a dream to use with a variety of programmes to choose from (and then an option button for extra functions) and of course it's all displayed on the information technology screen on the front. Very swish - I highly recommend it!
How does the Kleenmaid DW3060 compare?
by ErinVCombined rating
I was interested to see how the Kleenmaid DW6030 compares to my sister’s ‘other brand’ dishwasher. Does the Kleenmaid DW6030 stack up against the competition? This is what my sister had to say about her dishwasher... Positives from my sister’s dishwasher: Super easy to use, not too many programs, delayed start options, really quiet, cleans well. How does the Kleenmaid DW6030 compare to these positives? I would say the Kleenmaid DW6030 ticks all of those boxes too. It’s very easy to use, there are a range of programs but not too many that I’m overwhelmed, you’re able to use the delayed start option at the touch of a button, it’s Whisper Quiet Brushless DC Motor ensures you barely notice the dishwasher is on, and it cleans exceptionally well. We have experimented with some of the programs, as well as the rinse aid dispenser function to ensure we are maximising the efficiency of the DW6030. Negatives from my sister’s dishwasher: Cutlery holders in the cutlery basket don't properly fit my cutlery. Not really a spot for long knives/spatulas/egg lifter. How does the Kleenmaid DW6030 compare with the negatives? Fitting the cutlery in isn’t a worry at all with the large cutlery draw. It is extremely easy to stack, placing each different piece of cutlery in its own section to ensure they are sparkling clean the end of the wash. In regard to the spots for bigger kitchen utensils, the cutlery drawer and upper basket both allow for plenty of space. I can easily say the Kleenmaid DW6030 exceeds my expectations and definitely outperforms it’s competition!
I’m so impressed with the incredibly quiet motor!
by Michelle_BurgerCombined rating
I have now used seven different program settings (which have all washed and dried exceptionally) but this review is about how impressed I am with the whisper quiet brushless DC Motor. My husband was standing in the kitchen when I mentioned that the dishwasher was currently on and how amazed I was with how quiet it is..he didn’t even realise it was on, it really is whisper quiet!! This will be so helpful for my family as my husband is a shift worker so thank you Kleenmaid for providing such an exceptional unit that rinses, washes, dries and runs like a dream!
Cleaner Dishes In An Instant!
by GPTCombined rating
Firstly I don’t own this dishwasher myself but my sister does and I LOVE IT. When I used my sisters I found it so easy and straight forward to use. It isn’t super noisy which is a huge plus. I love how convenient the storage space is in the machine itself. Also I noticed on my sisters how the water rating is super efficient which I’ve noticed with a lot of big name brands the water rating isn’t the best so being able to find one and know I’m saving on water makes me a happy mama! It comes with loads of features which are very handy too! It doesn’t just look good but I found using it super user friendly. Having so many different settings is great because you can actually set it to what wash you think is suitable for the current load of dishes you have put in. The automatic setting is the one I have used most because it’s able to sense how soiled your dishes are - and I’ve literally never known a dish washer to be able to do that! I was so impressed! Now to stop using my sisters and buy my own (haha)
First Impressions DO Count!
by kateaCombined rating
I was thrilled when my new Kleenmaid DW6030 was delivered last week. I think looks ARE important when it comes to kitchen appliances - and boy does it look sleek! It looks great in my kitchen - a massive improvement on what I had before. I was very keen to try it out straight away, and had saved the washing up from the previous night! We'd had chill in the slow cooker - so the food residue was well and truly caked onto the pot and all the plates and cutlery! I powered it up first and decided to select the ECO programme to see how it would perform. It's a longer programme at 3.15 hours - but it does use less water. Nice to have the choice. I also love the fact that the programme is displayed digitally on the front of the door, so that you can see how much time is left to run at any point. When it finished, everything was squeaky clean and bright and shiny (I swear the plates were much shinier than the ones still in my cupboard). So, first impressions are fantastic. I'm looking forward to putting it through it's paces this Christmas as I have 24 people sitting down to dinner on Christmas Eve.

User friendly, immaculate wash results, whisper quiet
by Michelle_BurgerCombined rating
I am extremely impressed with the 8 main wash cycles able to wash everything from heavy soiled pots and pans that have been sitting with dried food on them for awhile to my delicate glassware. My personal favourite wash program is the ECO wash using only 0.641 Kwh energy and 11.8 litres of water! Impressive! All dishes plastic, ceramic, glass and baking trays have been cleaned and dried immaculately and spot free. I do tend to still hand wash the odd thing throughout the day so I absolutely love the dishwasher's DUAL ZONE WASH FUNCTION. Having the ability to only wash whats in the upper basket OR lower basket (works by using only the upper OR lower rack nozzle) is a fantastic feature!
Cleaning genius

What an incredible dishwasher, straight up amazing. I purchased this because of the reviews and how great! I couldn’t be happier with my purchase, cleans first time every time and so much room for everyone’s dishes
What a beautiful machine
by mom81879Combined rating
I am so very impressed with this dishwasher, such a beautiful machine. I'm usually intimidated by new appliances, usually too scared to use them, I just assume it's too hard. No issue with this product. So very easy to use from the first time. Dishes, pots, pans......grease, baked on gunk.....all just melts away. Everything comes out sparkling. Not too expensive either, very competitively priced in comparison to others on the market. I just love it. I've gone from "I don't need a dishwasher!" To "Why did I wait so long to get a dishwasher?"
Incredible

My mother in law recently purchased a kleenmaid DW6030 dishwasher as a mothers day treat to herself!! And i am jealous!! We stayed with her for a week and i honestly wish we could get one. Its so quiet and fast water efficient and the dishes came out so clean and try ready to be put away. I think its time for an upgrade on ours!!!
