We replaced our Whirlpool with a Kenmore from Sears. So far it has been very good, but we didn't buy a cheap one. We checked all the dishwashers at the Sears store and paid particular attention to the decibel level listed for each washer. The lower level, the quieter the dishwasher, which also usually means extra insulation, more metal and less plastic. So, I would think of your price range and how quiet you want it to be.
