O.T.: O.K. Sixpack, Dishwashers. What you got?

[GreaterCowbell]

After stellar recommendations for restaurants, lawn herbicides, and washing machines, I humbly come to the pack for dishwasher suggestions. The Kenmore has crapped out and needs a worthy replacement.

[DesotoCountyDawg]

We have a Frigidaire. It's a middle of the road one and we have had it for about 3 years. I replaced the water pump on it last year. I'd go another direction.

 

[diggidydog]

Bosch. Very quiet. Will do again.

 

[skydawg1]

Bosch. Very quiet. Will do again.

Ditto on Bosch.

 

[DawgAudit]

The Bosch dishwashers don't have a heated dry cycle from what I understand. We had a kitchenaid that was nothing but trouble. Went through 2 or 3 computer boards and a motor before the dealer finally pressured kitchenaid into giving us a refund. It was only 8-9 months old when it quit drying, then eventually quit washing. We've had the GE for about a month. So far so good.

 

[Crazy Cotton]

yep. My top of the line kitchen-aid went through 3 motherboards (they like to change things mid-run on these things, could never get one that worked worth a crap) . Finally junked it, under warranty, because it was costing me labor for the visits and I actually like clean dishes. Replaced with Bosch 5 years ago. No heating element to burn-out or melt your Tupperware, and the drying works really well. Super quiet because it works without a food processor, these are just a more advanced design than the traditional types. Haven't had an issue since I installed it.

 

[diggidydog]

Ours doesn't like you say about the drying. What I do is just crack it open when I noticed it has finished and it works really well. I am only on year 3 of the Bosch.

Fisher Paykel dual drawers. Super easy to load and unload.
must be built in counters.....

My Dad has an LG & from what little I know about dishwashers, it's the best I've ever seen. He loves it. Not sure if model

 

[Chris Mannix]

Kitchen aid is the ****. Oven mirocwave and frig with them. Love the frig extra badass in that it is huge.

Bosch...

Bought two lately...home and vacation condo. You must adjust to German mindset that their engineers are smarter than regular folk. I can now wash tall wine glasses. They are uber quiet but a long wash cycle. You must add jet dry agent or the wash cycle is longer.
we'd do it again.
They have great sales at Lowe's and do installation rebates occasionally...we waited for sales and I got 10% military discount also.

 

[Bobby Ricigliano]

Whirlpool & don't look back.

 

[TaleofTwoDogs]

Also have a GE. Has been working great for 17 years now. Not one maintenance call. In fact, all of our large appliances are GE and no problems. For me, the Bosch is too quiet, I like to hear a low hum from our machines. Second choice - Whirlpool.

 

[woozman]

Bosch

 

[PBRME]

Bought a Bosch 2 or 3 years ago. Works great unless we forget to refill the jet dry.

 

[MeridianDog]

We have a GE Profile, Stainless, washes great, absolutely can't hear it running. It is the quietest dishwasher I have even encountered.

 

[CEO2044]

Just did this same thing in October or so. Went with a Kitchenaid and it's awesome. I waited on a good sale at Lowe's and got it about $200 off (still $500). But I don't regret it. Wouldn't say it's silent or anything, but it's pretty quiet. Been my favorite purchase for our house along with our fridge.

 

[katfsh]

We have the ge cafe series and enjoy it. Stainless tub and super quiet. Open kitchen living area and can't hear it running.

 

[maroonmadman]

The old house had a Bosch in it and we were quite happy with it. We moved and the new house has a Whirlpool and we are equally happy with it. The Whirlpool has a better drying cycle than the Bosch is about the biggest difference I can note.

 

[EAVdog]

Put in a Bosch at the last house. Will replace the old one at our new house with a Bosch. Super quiet, super efficient. The only quirk which we got used to was that the racks were designed to hold dishes for an 8-12 person dinner party. Space for cups, saucers, salad plates, dinner plates, etc...

 

[Dawg_4_lifes]

Got this model about 6 years ago and is still in pretty good shape even with all the milage ive put on her. Doesnt spitshine quite like she used to but still gets the job done.

 

[tenureplan]

It's my job to load the dishwasher. Luckily it only takes two drinks...

 

[MaroonNation]

When we bought our house new in 99 it had a Whirlpool dishwasher in it. My oldest child is now 15 and it has survived all kinds of onslaught from him and his younger sister. The bottom cover is off and has long since been lost, my son, as an infant, used to pull the door down to stand on it to reach things on the counter. The keypad words have long since wore off. You simply cannot kill it. It won't die so I can replace it.

Whirlpool

Agree on Whirlpool. 17 years and counting. They are indestructible. The racks are now starting to wear out and corrode a bit, but no issues otherwise. Rack replacements are >$100 per rack, so it probably makes sense to just buy a new Whirlpool when the racks have completely fallen apart!

 

[dawgdr]

If only it were that simple! LOL

Bosch.
