27 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other vacuum sealers, built-in and countertop dishwashers, food slicers, meat and grain grinders, spice mills and kitchen prep appliances we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The KM-DW2445-PR fits a standard 24-inch opening, measuring 24 x 23.9 x 33.9 inches and weighing 93 lb. Push-button controls keep operation simple, and the stainless steel finish works with most kitchen styles. At 120 volts, no special wiring is required.
At 45 dB, this KoolMore runs noticeably quieter than many comparably priced dishwashers. For households where the kitchen is open to the living or dining area, that lower noise floor is a real quality-of-life improvement during evening cycles.
KoolMore is not as established as GE, Bosch, or Samsung, so long-term reliability data is limited. The 27 existing reviewers rate it at 4.2 stars, which is encouraging, but buyers should keep service availability in mind. At $950, it competes with entry-level models from major brands, and the price-to-quiet-operation ratio is one of its stronger arguments.
Pros
- 45 dB noise level is quieter than most dishwashers at this price
- 4.2-star rating across 27 reviews suggests good early owner satisfaction
- Standard 24-inch built-in fit with stainless steel finish
- Push-button controls are easy to learn and operate
Cons
- KoolMore lacks the established service network of major appliance brands
- 27 reviews is still a limited sample for a $950 appliance
- No published place-setting count to confirm load capacity

Frequently asked questions
Is 45 dB actually quiet for a dishwasher?
Yes. Most budget-to-mid-range dishwashers land between 50 and 55 dB. At 45 dB, the KM-DW2445-PR is noticeably quieter. You can hold a normal conversation nearby without raising your voice.
How does KoolMore compare to established brands at this price?
KoolMore does not have the same service history as brands like GE or Whirlpool. However, the 4.2-star average from 27 reviewers suggests the unit performs well out of the box. If local repair access is important to you, a major brand may be a safer long-term bet.
What electrical requirements does the KM-DW2445-PR have?
It operates on 120 volts, which is a standard household circuit. Most homes with an existing dishwasher installation will not need any electrical work.
