Appliances are no longer made to last and because they are expensive buying an extended warranty for a dishwasher to me is a must.
We moved into a new house and our dishwasher broke after 3 years. I replaced it with a Kitchenaid but bought it from Best Buy with a 5 year warranty for $100.

We have a Kitchen Aid that is about 7 years old. Just a month after the one year warranty expired, the brackets on the top rack broke and the control panel died. Had it repaired for $400+. In November the top rack broke again and I made an appt with the repair company that KA recommends, but they couldn't fix it untl the end of December. Then the day before the repair was set to take place, we get a phone call that the part needed is on back order and they wlll contact us when it arrives. They commented that it might take several months. Do I buy a new one? We haven't been happy with this dw, it is quiet, but the top rack can only be 1/2 full, otherwise the dishes don't get clean. Our previous GE dw lasted for over 25 years. These things aren't cheap!

ours is pretty much run daily. during the holidays, sometimes twice a day.
everything goes into the dishwasher.....and i mean everything. i personally dont like having a dish rack sitting out permanently or temporarily......dont even own one. so much easier to rinse and load right into the dishwasher. i think they get so much cleaner and more sanitized going into the machine.

I do not use mine as frequently as I did when my girls were at home.
I just do the few we have by hand.
Count me in, I never use my dishwasher, do them by hand, done in a few minutes, all is washed and dried and put away, just me and my hubby. Use good old
Dawn and dishes clean as can be. Also this way I dont take any chances of a broken dishwasher leaking on to hardwood floor, and ruining it.

@SeaMaiden @Like I said, it's just me. It makes me feel better when my countertops are clear, the kitchen feels in order.

After looking at many brands including Bosch, we finally bought a Miele. I have some beautiful hand-painted china, and it is the only dishwasher on the market that will wash and not harm hand-painted china. This was some 20 years ago, but there may well be others that have this feature, but Miele was the only brand at that time.
We have had absolutely no problems with our Miele. It is so quiet you don't know it is on and can also do an economical half load, which is excellent for the two of us.

We have a Bosch , never again. From day one , I have to rinse, wash etc, before putting in the dishwasher. Dishes are never clean, big disappointment.
