Dishwasher Recommendations???

[izzy]

I have a top line LG but if I was buying now I think I'd go Bosch.

It does a great job but had some initial issues.

Roll eyes..... Asian family here, we use our dishwasher once a year (Like today) on days where we have a ton of people over. Most of the time we make the kids do the dishes and wash everything by hand. And the dishwasher is used as another cabinet for storage (ours is for Tupperware actually).

After the KitchenAid tried to set the house on fire we replaced it with a Bosh.
Nice washer, quiet and powerful. Only complaint I have is the door is friction locked and started feeling loose when I grip and rip the door open.
It did fail to wash a month ago, basically loud and no water. Turned out to be the water solenoid on the front. Local parts store had it for $45. Cheaper online but longer wait. Kid at the counter said that is typically the only thing that breaks on these machines.

TLDR: +1

We have a Whirlpool. It is quiet, does an excellent job and was reasonably priced..I
We redid our whole kitchen in whirlpool appliances. Wife wanted the black color so everything matches.

We bought an Asko last year for our remodel and chose it over Bosch and because it had the features we wanted yet was under the price of a Miele we where looking at. What’s your budget?

We went with Bosch a couple of years ago to replace the original GE that the builder used.
At the time we looked at the selection of all dishwashers at Sear's and it was about the only one they were recommending.
Quiet was a priority. It is.
Can't comment on not pre-washing dishes, since we scrub 'em up real well before they go in the dishwasher.
I would buy another Bosch.

I've always thought that if I was still a bachelor, I'd go for one of those two drawer dishwashers.

In all seriousness I'd literally never put anything away - I'd live out of the clean drawer and put the dirty dishes in the dirty drawer.

When the dirty drawer's full, run it and now it's the clean drawer. I'd save tons of wasted time putting away clean dishes.

LG is the anti-christ. Stay away.

I have another vote for Bosch. If you are going for quiet pay attention to dB. Even a 3dB difference can make a big difference.
