I bought my daugher new Whirlpool Dishwaser and want to buy a dishwasher installation kit. I am not sure which is best. There are lots available and I don't know what I need. Can some body make a recommendation? It's a Model WDT750SAKZ. See the picture of undersink below.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Oops. I was initially thinking disposal rather than dishwasher.

How about a wider shot showing under the right bowl too.

It looks like there is already a dishwasher hose.

I suggest cutting out that entire p-trap assembly and starting over with a tubular plastic p-trap.
I suggest a professional if you don't know what you need. There is a lot to know and easy to make mistakes.
Do you have a hole on top for a DW airgap (highly recommended)?

Might be the pic but the P trap looks to be in a bind, the pipe coming from the wall might need to be shortened. I installed a dishwasher recently and had to move the dishwasher hose to the left side which looks like what you need to do. Also have to install and air gap, either a high loop in the drain hose or an actual air gap. I don't see the water connection in the pic.

Assuming that there is already a dishwasher installed, I think you can simply install the dishwasher exactly as the previous one is installed. They come with the same corrugated hose that we see in the photo with a rubber boot that connects to the dishwasher. You may need to trim the boot to the correct size, but I believe they come with the largest size typically for what the port on the disposer is (assuming what we don't see in the right of the photo is a disposer).

Most dishwashers come with the drain hose already in a high loop along the side of the DW with the water inlet on the side which is their method of preventing cross contamination.

Hey, wait a minute.

This is awkward, but...
