Dishwashers

Our 10 year old GE dishwasher is slowing dying. Looking for a different brand, maybe Maytag or Whirlpool. Any thoughts on dishwasher brands? Heard Bosch is very good but also very pricey.

Check out Bosch prices. They have different models. Bought one last year and think it is excellent.

Kitchenaid makes a more budget-friendly appliance.

I would suggest checking out Bosch as well. We just replaced our Bosch last month. The previous one lasted 15 years..

they have different series of DWs. We picked the 500 series, abut $1200. It is sleek to look at, and is whisper quiet. I think they start in the $650 range, Adding bells and whistles will increase the price. Bosch service is excellent, should you need it.

Good luck with your search.

We just purchased a Bosch dishwasher. In my honest opinion, I'm really disappointed. We did purchase the top of the line that includes what they call mineral dry...it's suppose to dry the entire load without spots on the plastic. Well, that cycle requires 3 hours to run. There is not heating element in it, so it runs on the temperature of your water. I run it on the quickest cycle, which runs an hour an twenty minutes. If I don't open it when the cycle is finished to let the steam escape, everything is spotted. We do use Jet Dry and Cascade pods, but there's still always spots on the plastic ware and some of the glassware. If I knew then what I know now, I would not purchase a Bosch. This is just my experience, but I hope it helps. I think there are good dishwashers out there for less price.

@bargainsgirl I am a big believer in "not throwing good money after bad." Having said that I suggest your buying the best dishwasher that yout budget can accommodate. If it is more expensive than others, it will likely (but not always, of course) save you money in the long run, not to mention hassle. Although I know nothing about dishwashers currently on the market, I have heard and read in the past that Bosch dishwashers were superior to others. I also believe in doing my homework and spend a lot of time rsearching major purchases both online and in print media -- which has always paid off.

Call me crazy, but I have not used my dishwasher in years, I actually enjoy washing and drying my dishes on my own, just 2 of us so only takes a short time and I am done. The one I have is a Whirlpool.

We bought a Bosch a few years ago and love it. We got the middle priced model and I thought it was competitively priced. It's so quiet that you have to listen closely to tell if it's on. And it really cleans well

Whatever you do, don't buy a Samsung!

We got a KitchenAide about 12 years ago and we did a lot of research on it before purchasing. From the very beginning it was a piece of junk! We broke down and purchased a Miele two years ago and it is wonderful!

It cleans my dishes so they look sparkling clean, it's also very quiet. No little pieces of plastic constantly breaking off and so far it has needed no repairs. I use it almost everyday.
