I have owned these knives for about a year and a half and they are the worst. I always wash by havd and they still rust and they are very dull. I even bought an electric sharpener and they just don't stay sharp. These are definately not worth the money buy another brand.

They look good --- but that's about it. Probably the worst knives I've ever owned. They can be sharpened but they hold an edge for about 5 minutes max. If you still want to buy them I'll sell you mine for half price.

I have owned this product for about 6 months and the knives are great. I have decided to only wash them by hand (only product I have ever done this too, I am a BIG fan of the dishwasher) and I have not had a problem with them. I have left them in a pile next to or in the sink and washed them later when I got a chance and I have never had a problem with them rusting. Occasionally one will make it into the dishwasher and they have came out fine, but I don't want to push my luck.
The steak knives are not the same quality as the other knives, but it was not a decision killer for me. I paid between $50 - $60 at a discount store (Ross) for them and I have seen them priced similar at Amazon during sales. They are well worth it for that price. The upright block takes little room on the counter and I am very happy with my decision for the price I paid.

Knives such as these are prone to rusting (not unique to Kitchen Aid). If you don't dry the knives quickly, you've just thrown them away. I suggest either buying a more expensive set, or a cheaper set (which, ironically, are often much less likely to rust)
