Need a recommendation for a new dishwasher.  I don't want anything too complicated, just a basic stainless steel unit with a stainless tub.  I've looked at so much on line that my head is spinning.  I've seen those with WiFi, an interior light, one that the door pops open when the dishwasher is finished washing.  I just want one that will wash dishes.  Period!!!

I bought a mid-level Bosch three years ago. All I cared about:

1. Can it remove egg yolk and peanut butter?

2. Is it quiet?

 

Yes to both.

I had to get a new one a few months back. Old one just quit working, we had it for several years. The old one was a whirlpool.

I ended up getting a kitchenaid. And it is nice, has the stainless steel outside and inside. My whirlpool's utensil door was in the door of the dishwasher. The new kitchenaid's utensil door is in the bottom of the dishwasher- now I can move it around but not in the door.

The new one doesn't hold as much in the bottom as the old one did. It does do a great job though and I didnt realize how loud my old one was. This one is very quiet.

I have a Bosch that we bought in 2005 and it is still going strong!  Never a single problem with it either.  My dishes are clean as a whistle and it is quiet.

 

If it ever dies I will be getting another Bosch.

kitchenaid for sure.

we have purchased two in the last 4 years and are very happy with them.......virtually no noise, great cleaning capabilities, lots of room, good cleaning choices, electronic buttons are hidden. very clean look to them.

I have a stainless steel Bosch I bought years ago and it still is perfect.  i have bought other brands for years  and withn a  year  they were done.  Don't bother.  Buying cheap isn't the way.

I have a builders grade GE that's original to my house built in 1984.  I've had KitchenAids and Maytags but this is by far the best machine I've ever had.  Its quiet and does a great job, dries thoroughly.  I don't use it much these days since its just me and its easier to just wash my plate and fork but it has had some hard use.

I will always look for quiet and silverware in the door.

One thing I never had on my "must" list but do during pandemic: must be American made so I can quickly get it repaired ( due to pandemic "lag" times for getting parts).
