I"ve never had a dishwasher but I'm planning to get one soon so I've done a lot of research and asking from friends and family. I'm going with a Bosch. I've never heard a single complaint about them!

I was always taught to never buy the cheapest or the most expensive appliance but to buy a brand name in between. I personally a Maytag person.

Always had kitchen aid & loved them! Never had a problem.
Then again can always get a lemon in anything.

We've had a Bosch for 13 yrs.....it's quiet and still cleans all dishes and pans beautifully, I love it.

I have an Electrolux, and it's so quiet! I have to put my ear down next to it to tell if it's running. I've never seen one so quiet.

We bought a Bosch because it is quiet. Our old machine made so much noise we couldn't hear the TV (kitchen and family room is an open area). The Bosch is sooooooooooo much better!

I have the same dishwasher. What I love about it is how quiet it is and that it's spacious inside and cleans the dishes well. I thought having the silverware tray on the door would be a good thing at first, but when you have the bottom rack out, you can't put silverware in the tray. Didn't like that at first, but used to it now and like it because it leaves the entire lower rack open for anything. I do use the rinse feature if we won't be running it for a few days, that's a really nice feature to have. We paid the same, about $400.

I have a BOSCH and it is okay. The only problem I find is you have to run it every other day or it starts to smell. DH has tried everything to fix this but I guess it is common in some Bosch's.

I do baking, lots of it. I use 12' x 17' baking pans.
I can get 9 or 10 of them in my Kitchenaid dishwasher.
I still usually have to do 2 or 3 loads per day. I wouldn't know my dishwasher was running without looking at the lights on the front. I vote for Kitchenaid.

I have a new (last fall) KitchenAid purchased at Sears and I love it. Not the priciest model (less than a thousand) but it is SO quiet. And dishes always come out perfect. I use the Cascade Complete brand packets..no powder to spill..and they do a great job.

I have a Maytag and it has had many recalls. The older ones are much better. If you want a good quiet one that does the job well I'd go to Sears. That was the best I ever had and I don't really shop at sears a lot

Get a quiet one that really cleans the stuff left on the silverware or the dishes.

Bosch has a model that is VERY, VERY quiet and it has gotten great reviews in the "Consumer Reports" magazine. I don't know the model number of the new model. There is never any food stuck on the dishes and I sometimes leaves dishes in the dishwasher 4-5 days!! Highly recommend but it's between $800 - $1000 (I'm a firm believer in "you get what you pay for") - good luck!1

BOSCH.....you can't even hear them and they clean wonderful.

Had a GE Clothes Washer that was junk from DAY 1! Will never buy GE again!

We are on our 2nd Maytag Dishwasher!-not because the other one quit but because I gave it to my grandmother. We were given one by my dad that was moving-it was less than a year old. The one we had was at least 10 years old and still going!!!!

Our dishwashers have been used a minimum of 1 time per day! We have 5 children and when the twins were born my DH bought our portable Maytag Dishwasher. It NEVER had any problems! Like I said I just gave it to my grandmother and used it the day that my uncle came and picked it up for her. :) So, over 10 years of use and it cost about $400! I think it was WELL worth it.

So, my step Mom knew that we had the portable one and ask me what kind she should get. When I told her how long we had the dishwasher she was sold. She knows my kids go through a lot of dishes! LOL ;)

Whoops, sorry double post.

Write down all these reviews, and also check out Consumer Reports. Our whole family uses it as a guide and are happy with it.

From what others seem to agree with on this forum, is that the lower priced ones aren't worth buying in the long run. Something with all that technology has to cost a lot more than the lowest ones, but will pay for itself over the years.

My husband LOL....and Kitchen Aid --so quiet....

I have a Jennair and love it..stainless inside and out..quiet and very clean dishes! I had a Bosch in my previous home and loved it, too.

We bought a Bosch, from Sears, when we built our house. We had trouble from the start and Sears could not get parts at that time so they replaced it. We went with a Kenmore (Whirlpool) for the replacement, stainless steel interior. I like it but it takes so long for a cycle, otherwise it does a good job.

kenmore lov it

Bosch - there is no heater in it so you can put plastic in and it won't melt. They are REALLY quiet. Love love love mine. Wish I had one a long time ago. Again LOVE my Bosch! We did not get the top of the line and it's fabulous!

Maytag....Going on 19 yrs and works fantastic. Never any problems

Love my Whirlpool. I chose one with basket on the door, too! Remove basket and open to put utensils away.

Go get a consumer's digest and they test all the major brands and give their reviews.

I burnd out the motor in a Bosch in 2 years. We have a tankless hot water tank and the Bosch could not handle it. I have had a Kenmore Elite for 7 years and no problems -- it is real quiet and doesn't use a lot of water.

I have tried to look it up but they want me to subscribe to get the results. I would rather spend money on fabric.

See if your local library gets Consumer Reports magazine. They sometimes won't let you check the issues out but you can read them there. Many libraries have past years' complete Consumer Reports handbooks which have the reviews of all the products they reviewed that year. My problem with CR is they compare a top of the line of one brand with the bottom of the line of another brand. Hard to sort out what's what when they do that. I have a Kitchenaid TOL and I'm very pleased with it. It's quiet and has three racks. Love the very top rack for lids, cutting boards, etc. There are many product lines out there to choose from and they probably all do an excellent job. As someone pointed out, you sometimes get a lemon even with the best product.

My Kitchenaid is 2 years old and very quiet. I am very happy with my choice.

Bosch..it is quiet and does an excellent job.I love mine!

We purchased a Bosch about a year ago to replace a Whirlpool Quiet Partner III which had begun making so much noise that we couldn't carry on a conversation in the kitchen while it was running. We've been very happy with the Bosch - it's really quiet and does a great job of cleaning the dishes. (We also traded our old washer and dryer for Bosch a couple of years ago and have not been sorry about that decision either.)

have a whirlpool 15 yrs.....no problems....and because i said that somethingis bound to hppen lololol

We have a Bosch. A bit pricey, but well worth it. It's quiet and efficient, and no pre-rinsing of dishes before placing in the dishwasher. My main requirement was quiet, and it sure meets that specification.

we have Bosch it is the quietest dishwasher we have ever had, we got it on sale so it was reasonable.

I really like my Whirlpool appliances. Can't say anything bad about them; they have served us well.

What ever you do, don't buy an Electrolux. It was really quiet, but after only working for about 9 months, two big boxes of parts from the company, and 7 months of not working at all, it never could be fixed! Had a kitchenaid before the dreaded electrolux and have a kitchenaid after...

I went and looked today - Discovered a few things.
Bosch does not have a heat dry - so how long does it take to dry them? The inside looked really roomy.

Kitchenaid- adjustable shelves - same price as a Bosch metal bar in bottom that turns around.

One brand even had where you could put detergent in and it self monitored how much detergent was needed.

I still have a few stores left to go.

Thanks for all the input. I learned so much - but can anyone tell me what a tankless waterheater is?

I love my Kenmore. Does a good job. Never rinse anything and always gets everything clean.

I have a Whirlpool, its 7 years old, quiet, cleans great...never had any trouble w/it....probably in the $400 price range... I only use Cascade in it.
