Dishwasher has Gone South...Please Recommend a Good One

[Melton Jason]

We got a top of the line Bosch unit last year after our original GE died. Amazed at how well it cleans dishes. We have some of the stainless steel pots and pans with the copper on the bottom. I used to have to scrub them with a scotch brite pad to get the copper clean after something got burned on it. Not anymore anything that gets burned on just goes in the washer and comes out looking like brand new.

My only very minor complaints about it is

1. it was over 1K
2. it uses a lot of rinse aid (not a big deal when you buy the large container at Sams)
3. It is rough on plastic cups. (it has baked some of the cheaper plastic cups that we us sometimes and made them brittle)

We have a Thermador (made by Bosch) that we got at a scratch and dent sale a few years ago. It’s been solid and we’d buy another. Wife liked it so much, our other kitchen appliances are now Bosch.

I am a avid hand washer for dishes. Too much stuff happens with those washers that get by. Got a brand new Maytag in the building out back and has been there i do not know how long.

Our last house had a Bosch and like others have said it was super quiet and did a great job. It was 11yrs old when we sold the house with out any issues. We are building a retirement home and will be getting a Bosch. Also Consumer Reports rates Bosch as the best reliability and recommended. Worst reliability was Samsung.

Kitchen Aide, super quite. Had one in the house we sold and installed the same model in the new house...love it. Get the one with the controls on top of the door.

I couldn’t believe how quiet the Kitchenaid is when I put mine in. No problems yet and about 10 years old I think. Still quiet too.

Mine's a GE Potscrubber 700 going strong since 1987.

Went from high end GE at last house to high end Bosch at the new house. GE, hands down, was the better machine. Faster, quieter, cleaner, more room.

KitchenAid

I suppose our Kitchen Aid is 8-10 years old already. Extremely quiet, the real quiet ones are because they don’t have a grinder in them. No complaints so far. The one I picked out was the higher end of the Kitchen Aid dishwashers NFM carries.

Miele. Won’t even know it’s running. Seriously.

[eagleeye299]

Bosch.

[BassnPhoenix920]

Bosch hardly know it's running.

Cheapest one you can find, then you won't feel so bad when you have to replace it in a few years. All new appliances are junk made to last only a few years.

Dang Herb I missed you in Somerset Saturday. My son and I drove put to the Toyota dealer there to pick up a CPO Tundra they had. You guys must eat good with all the boys. Anyone who's ever had a teen boy in the house can cook...LOTS

I was about 5 miles away at the dealership. The GM at that store goes to church with us, he's top notch!
