dishwasher?

If you consider buying Kenmore/Sears, keep in mind that you'll have Sears to
deal with. How much of your life are you willing to spend battling their
warranty and service? YMMV. Polly

stemware can get washed a lot for that amount of money, I guess i am getting
old,er, when i was a kid it seems when my mom talked to these people they
knew what a kitchen was used for and when my mom said she gardened they knew
what she needed and directed her to it, Lee

I've got a Maytag. I think it's about 8 years old. I've had to have the
latch fixed twice, the bottom rack is rusting through the plastic coating in
places, and yes it does do a lousy job with pots and pans in which things
like oatmeal and rice have been cooked. At this point, I find that I need to
use it on the "heavy duty" setting all the time to get everything clean.
Despite this litany of complaints, I think it's a pretty good DW. It is also
reasonably quiet. Of course, I am comparing it to the old Thermador it
replaced which sounded like a B-52 was taking off in the kitchen and took
about 8 hours to run.

In contrast, my Maytag is 6-7 years old and I hate it. It is quite
noisy and even though I rinse everything carefully, it does not do a
good job on starchy residue and spreads tiny particles around.

ok i wasn't sure if it was lots of cooking or a large family or two kinds of
configurations for different things, Lee

Like I've said many times here in rfc, I don't put my pots and pans in
the dishwasher so that's a non-issue for me. However, my opinion is
to get as big a sink as you can. I used my DD's honkin' huge single
bowl sink the other day and it was like using an empty swimming
pool... there was room for everything - without stacking.

I have a Bosche that I am fine with. No wheels have fallen off yet
and the basket is still in one piece, but I don't think it's very good
at getting rid of minute particles of food. I've gotten lazy every
now and then lately and noticed that my dishes were not rinsed off
well. It seems that tiny specks of something or other didn't go down
the drain when it should have. The dishes were clean enough, but
apparently the rinse water wasn't food free. Someone here said that
Bosche doesn't have a food grinder. Maybe that's the problem, but I
don't leave chunks of food on my dishes - just smudges.

I'm talking about going into my formerly fantastic nursery and asking

I have everyday dinnerware and flatware settings for 12, so I have
plenty of time between dishwashings. However, I don't like the idea
of dirty dishes putrefying in the dishwasher for days. If you put
dirty pots and pans in too, it can be a problem the next time you want
to make a meal if you haven't run the dishwasher. The nice thing
about drawers (for me) is that one can be clean dishes, the other
dirty and I can be lazy and not put dishes away in the cupboard.

i am at the stage in life that other than a decoration i am not interested
in fancy stuff, one of the things the fire has taught us is that we really
didn't need all we lost, we kept breathing and life has gone on, so as we
plan/purchase for the new house there is a lot less stuff to look at, Lee

Janet...I got "over that" about twenty years ago......you know...The

can't recall the last time I have even pulled them out of the

If it can't go in the dishwasher...we don't use it any longer. No
one has even noticed we don't serve double handle cream soup bowl with
a nice lace doily under....

It's one of the side effects of the new phosphate-free dishwasher
detergent. The phosphates also kept particles suspended and
off your dishes. It's one of the first things I noticed before I found
out about the reformulation, suddenly there was gritty stuff on
some glasses, etc.

I would definitely look at the rack configuration. I've seen some
dishwashers where you can't fit much because the silverware
thing takes up a quarter of the bottom rack, then the tines are
really short so the dishes that do fit just kind of lie on each other.
I don't get it.

I love my Whirlpool with the silverware rack in the door, and
I'm on my second one so it's maybe 25 years now. I never
had the rack break, so I don't know why that happened to
other people.
