Dishwasher Recommendations???

[Grant H.]

Saw the thread title and thought maybe you were looking for a wife.

Already got that covered, thankfully. Still makes me chuckle.

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).

Neither of us is a stranger to hand washing dishes, but with no kids and both of us being busy, it's just better to be able to put the dishes in the dishwasher and walk away. We try to prioritize where we spend time.

Choosing a dishwasher is indeed a complicated process.

First you have to find one that you find attractive that's willing to go out with you, then you have to get to know her (making sure you're on the same page about important values and kids and all that). Then you have to test her sandwich making ability in addition to how good a dishwasher she is (I mean if she leaves spots on the glasses but makes an awesome po-boy, that's much better than someone with perfect dishwashing capabilities that can only make PB&J or Bologna on white bread).

And of course you have to look out for the crazy ones.

But keep looking, there's a dishwasher out there for everyone

Looking at society in general today, damn am I glad I don't have to do that anymore.



All in all, looks like Bosch is the way to go.

Bosch is great. Only "complaint" I've ever heard about them is that you can't hear them running, so they sometimes get opened in the middle of the cycle. Very quiet dishwashers.

Our dishwasher sounds like a whispering Cylon & does an amazing job. Its a Kenmore. So much quieter than our previous & had better ratings at the time....

We had a Bosch before & it required everything to be prewashed. Still didn't do a very good job & It broke often too including the control board & several organizing bits. Maybe we had a dud.

Meet the Huang's.

My parents almost never used dishwasher except the maintenance run.

I use dishwasher to save water, but I still wash large pots and pans with hand.

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.
