The last one cost me $225, stainless. It had a scratch on the front which didn't bother me at all. A magnet will cover it up. It is a Bosch super quiet. Best one so far.
Forgot to say I'm not one that will wash the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. My neighbor will wash her dishes before putting them in. :shock: Cascade Complete is the best detergent I've fond that will remove dried on gunk from dishes. Use the premeasured tabs. Too much detergent will leave the white film you see on dishware and will etch the glass. Never fill both compartments, just the last one to open. The newer washers have self adjusting amounts to discharge, you put in enough detergent to last for a few months. My DD has one like that and she says it works great.

I've used this product and it works. Mine was pretty bad though so had to use two of them (not at one time - ran the dishwasher empty and removed 1st bottle and put the 2nd one in and ran it again.) I had a lot of sediment and when I took the dishes out the surface would feel rough and it left a white coating on my pots and pans. But, like I said this product solved my problem. Good luck.

I need a deal that that! There isn't a Lowes nor a Sears in this town. Best price I've run across is 525.00 at Sears online. Then there's the shipping..........
