We're getting a new one. Since we're not moving until the kids leave home, we're willing to spend any reasonable amount to get a good one. I think one with a garbage disposal is worth it?

Any suggestions?

This is the most desperate attempt at thread-creation in the history of ridemonkey.

 

[LordOpie]

Is it?

We're willing to spend $1000 bucks, so I just want something good.

My two requirements are that the flatware basket be in the door, I hate how much space is wasted by putting it in the middle of the bottom tray, and I like to have a second spinner/sprayer for the upper tray.

Brands? I dunno, our Kenmore ones have been pretty reliable. I really like the way Vikings look though.

All I hear is stay away from GE. Will someone inform me as to the quality of this advice?

are sarcastic replies allowed? if so, i'm really stunned (given how the demographic of this site is likely 99% male) that no one has replied "your wife"

If you can get Bosch over there, do so. Best dishwasher in my experience (and I'm a prof chef if that helps).





.....right, back to bikes.......

My mom-in-law just got one and she loves it.

agreed! but they don't come cheap!!...D

We got ours at the Sears "scratch and dent" store (Outlet). When we bought it, they were running a sale and the dishwasher was an aditional $100 off, so we got it for about half price.

They had a couple of Bosch washers, too.

We've had a Maytag in our two previous abodes and have a Whirlpool now. We really liked the Maytags and hate the Whilpool. The lower rack is very poorly designed making fitting anything in it difficult. Our plates and pasta bowls have to be carefully arranged or they will hit the top rack spinner. All of our appliances are Whirlpool (that is all the contractor was offering at a discount) and here is my review.

I agree on your assesment of the Whirlpool. I've got the "deep tub" model so hitting the spinner isn't an issue with mine but the rack won't hold plates firmly at all and they just seem to flop back and forth. I have to lean the first one against the inside wall.

On the plus side the unit does run whisper quiet (but most new ones do) and the built in disposer is nice to not have to "pre wash" your dishes.

Best dishwasher I've even seen in use... not many people will put one in though:

Fisher & Paykel 2 drawer stainless steel dishwasher

one bit of advise tho.... whatever you buy make damn sure there isnt a sprayer tube that extends up from the bottom spinner thru the center of the bottom rack.

I HATE that design!

I was going to say something along those line, but now it wont be so funny.

i bought a kenmore at sears last year and the dishwasher does a nice job. i've had no problems .

Another vote for Bosch. We've had ours since Spring and we love it. Quiet! And we didn't find that they were that much more expensive.

Whatever model you get, make sure it has a decent rack, good drainage, and can fit under the counter.

lol??

 

[Brian HCM#1]

My vote is for a Bosch, We have a Kitchen Aid which were happy with with the exception of the dish rack design.

Our Kitchen Aid ROCKS!

sos pads?

 

[Dog Welder]

Whatever you do get one with a stainless steel tub. It well radiate heat more efficiently to dry/warm your dishes.

I personally never use the heat dry on our washer. I simply open the door at the end and 20 minutes later everything's dry.

 

[BMXman]

So Opie have you bought one yet?...D

We're going shopping tomorrow to look at them.

So far, leading candidates are Bosch and Kitchen Aid.

make sure they come in root beer!

 

[LordOpie]

So we went with Kitchen Aid as we loved our last one and the big difference between it and Bosch is that the Bosch doesn't come with a garbage disposal.

 

[Red Rabbit]

looks flexy, JK.

My parents have a similar one, they love it.

Since we're not moving until the kids leave home

aren't you still in the manufacturing phase for child #1?

talk about mapping out one's future.

I told my wife when we bought our house this year to find a house and neighborhood that she absolutely loved cuz we're not moving.

She did, in three days.

Just found out today that our HOA includes snow removal service

Same here...

 

[narlus]

for all the people who crave quiet dishwashers, what's wrong w/ setting the timer and running them in the middle of the night?

i suppose if you've got a small domicile and yr bedroom is close to the kitchen, it might make a difference.

while ours is 58 decibels, so supposedly pretty quite, it does have a button "4 hour delay". Pretty simple.

The lower humidity here allows us to not worry so much about drying stuff.

so loading wet dishes into yr cabinets isn't a worry, since they will dry in the cabinet?

the relative humidity of yr house isn't gonna likely do much drying in the dishwasher chamber.
