I just purchased a Kitchenaid a couple of weeks ago and hope I didn't make a mistake. Our last Whirlpool didn't last very long.
I did a lot of research on dishwashers, including going to Consumers Report magazine about dishwashers. In the end, I was just as confused as when I started. Whether you get the one with all the bells and whistles or you get a midrange dishwasher, they all had their problems.
Considering that lemons pop up in all brands of dishwashers, it is really like picking a 'pig-in-a-poke.' So I am just going to keep my fingers crossed and hope I made a good decision.
