dishwasher?

My four year old Maytag was doing the same! Called the repairman and
he told me that it was "shot" and to replace it since the motor
repairs would cost more than a new machine. Have you noticed the
Maytag repairman ad is NOT on TV any longer....there is a reason.

My new Bosch is quiet and efficient. I am fortunate to have two
Bosch dishwashers installed on either side of my sink, along with my
Bosch laundry duo.

I got a hand soap dispenser for the first time ever with this new sink
and it sprang a leak immediately, so it's just there for show now.

That sounds like an awful lot of hardwood flooring installation to
complete in one week... what kind of hardwood, the real deal or that
Pergo/Laminate crap?

The benefits of the drawer units are that the buyers can look trendy and
that they generate more profits for the manufacturers.

As for conventional dishwashers, once you are out of the bargain
basement models, the differences are mostly cosmetic. If you want a high
temp sanitize cycle, get a model with that feature, if you want a
stainless interior get that, if you want a quiet model, look at sound
ratings. Otherwise, they all clean dishes just fine and have a decent
lifespan.

Thanks! I looked around, I don't see it at the stores I can think of,
but I did see it online. For instance:

Great choice of 'words'. Makes me chuckle because I had originally
written "handiest feature is also its biggest PITA'. For whatever
reason I changed PITA to 'its worst. You got the point, though.

I'll also point out that Goomba said CR likes Kenmore-- which, I
believe, is still made by Whirlpool.

If citric acid is the answer, then why aren't they at least doing
that?

I can remember Lemi-shine but I keep forgetting Finish. In any case
I'm sure my memory would have been jogged if I'd seen it when I
remembered to look. What I have noticed is a distinct shrinkage of
choices. I need to expand the grocery stores I shop in to see where
they are.

Finish was popular before that too, wasn't it?
I don't know about TSP in the dish washer. I'd be afraid not only of
what it would do to the finish on my dishes, I'd worry about the
dishwasher lines and pipes too... although come to think of it, there
would be a lot of grime for it to cut though in the pipes before it
did any damage. ;)

We probably bought our Maytag dishwashers at the same time. From what
I'm reading I strongly suspect that some people are very abusive, just
like some folks go through automobiles like they do TP and others can
keep the same vehicle for over ten years with nary a problem and it
still looks and performs like new. I see nothing poorly made about my
Maytag, especially its racks, and no one knows racks like I know
racks! hehe

We've been Kitchen Aide people for something like 35 years.
However, through those years they have lasted shorter and seems to
clean dishes worse. We've had a Whirlpool for the last 1.5 years
and it cleans better than any of my KAs did. Also, the removable
silverware basket is as described above .... NG. I use it only for
the big stuff ... serving spoons, knifes, ice tea spoons, etc. BTW,
I have also trussed it up with nylon zip ties to keep it from coming
apart. We have a leftover KA basket that is used for the smaller
stuff. It sits just inside the Whirlpool rack. BTW2, I do know
that KAs are now built by Whirlpool. But, my last KA was also from
the Whirlpool factory and it was the worst KA I owned.

The way you worded that says you have four dishwashers, two on each
side of your sink. That you need four dishwashers says you use them
at a commercial level... no residential dishwasher will survive your
useage very long... your new Bosch washers won't be new long

The two biggest things I looked for last time I bought one -

Does it have a grinder to get rid of the food bits? This greatly
reduces the work in loading it.

What is the noise rating? Quieter is better. Heavily padded costs more
so it's a trade off. Valid the sound level more than you think because
it will be with you for a decade.

If you happen to have a septic system vs. city sewer, grinder or not you
should minimize the amount of food particles that go down the drain
instead of into the garbage.


The sound level is a consideration, but you should also consider where
the dishwasher is located relative to living areas and bedrooms. In my
case I tend to start the dishwasher when I'm going to bed, and with the
dishwasher at the opposite end of the house, the sound level is of
minimal concern. If the dishwasher backs up to bedrooms it may well be a
greater concern.

And because you're a guy. If it was your wife who cooked like that
and you didn't, I can guarantee there would be no second dishwasher.

I'd like to hear about personal experiences too. We have drawer
dishwashers in mind as coming next when the current one has to be
replaced "who knows when".
