Dishwashers

[Green_Biscuit]

Okay folks, I am in the market. I am not afraid to pay for quality, and features I will use or appreciate. I have already ruled out the two drawer models, as it is not practical for our needs. I do think I am intersted in a tall tub one, or extra capacity in general. Other than that, I am hoping to settle on a brand/model that is carried by a client of my husband, but there choices are vast. So, since I know several of you have purchased one recently, can you help a gal out?? Any and all opinions would be very much appreciated! Tonks. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Dishwashers

GB, I cant remember what we have...but I do like it. When I get home tonight, I will post the brand and model.

It was mid priced...and its very quiet. Quiet was a must for me since we have a great room concept and so the TV and Dishwasher are basically in the same room.

I have tested its efectiveness by leaving some dried on food stuff and it all came out clean!

I will let you know what it is later...I do know it was priced quite reasonably.

Re: Dishwashers

Ochi,

I have the same concept and looking for a much quieter one too so please do post the brand.

Also, the top rack I noticed has started to retain some dried food on it.

I have seen the new models with two spinners instead fo one (bottom) what do u think of those.

Re: Dishwashers

Last year I purchased a KitchenAid dishwasher. I am very happy with it. It's super quiet, unless you are right next to it, you don't even know its on.

Dishes are clean always. The only mishaps happen when I forget to run the cycle and hard to remove foods get stuck. Sometimes I forget to run the cycle, but all the foods come off anyway.

I got the one just below the top of the line Kitchen Aid.

Re: Dishwashers

Oh yes, and I just loooove the built in garbage disposal....it comes in handy when you have a lazy teenager in the house. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif[/img] No debris ever left at the bottom of the machine.

Re: Dishwashers


My first dish washer was a whirlpool that came with the house fail to maintain the water level and flood the kitchen.

I got it throw out for a new dish washer.

Re: Dishwashers

Thank you thank you! Still waiting on some more input from folks. In the past, I may have ended up with a Kenmore, but hubby's client is not Sears. At the moment, I am leaning towards one Kitchenaid, but I am not going to rush into this. I have lived with the piece of nonsense that came with the house for three years. I will wait until I feel I am making the best decision (but hopefully soon! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70384-praying.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif[/img])

Re: Dishwashers

most of them do pots. I have an asko that we installed a few years ago that does them well. Make sure you have pots you can put in the dishwasher, eg some Calphalon pots are hand wash only.
