Key features

- DU1055XTVS can help you save on your utility bills, since it is ENERGY STAR qualified, which means that it uses less natural resources than many of the other products in the market.

- The 5-level SheerClean Direct Feed Wash System doesn't make use of a tower, which means there's extra space to fit all of your dishes. Instead of the tower found in traditional dishwashers, DU1055XTVS channels the water so that it cleans your dishes from five different angles.

- This machine also has a National Sanitation Foundation certified Sani Rinse Option that kills up to 99.99% of the bacteria on your dishes. No need to worry about germs remaining on your dishes and silverware!

- Some of the other features you can find on Whirlpool's DU1055XTVS include an Auto Soil Sensor, four wash cycle modes, and five options, including high temperature wash, time delay wash, heated dry, and the Sani Rinse option.
