Dishwasher Recommendations???

[KS63]

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.

LG is the anti-christ. Stay away.

Our LG DW was possessed until they finally replaced the door lock sensor board/latch with a redesigned part.

I will say it's quiet AF, so much that it's hard to tell if it's running when you walk into the room, but also agree that most of the newer ones don't have heating elements so therefore don't dry as well as the older models. If you open it while drying, you lose a lot of the heat and it will not recover. Ours has steam clean so it will strip paint off a fender.

Our range had to have the oven (plastic) inner dial control replaced at less than one year.

The DW also had a defective upper water tube feed. The rubber on the bottom came apart within two years. $168 part that was covered.

The MW and Fridge have been good but I did fight with LG over the door alignment on the fridge. Terrible fit and finish. DW tub was a little wonky too and even the range a little off. These were about $10K (retail) for the set, so not cheap, but not stupid either. Dual fuel range and Fridge were the two big ticket but even the DW was over $1K.

Kinda looks like a Bosch Series 800 is in our near future...

The series 500 would be just fine, but it isn't available until April 2021...

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.

3dB means double the sound level. So yes pay attention to those numbers.

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

After reading that post all I can think to say is: So sorry to hear about your upcoming divorce (unless your wife is the type to simply just give you a beating). I don't even think that way as my wife would know and she would give me a beating.
