The expensive ones don't work that well either. My kitchenaid cost $1k and it sucks. Maybe a Miele or Bosch will work better.. they are more but honestly I just want one that cleans reliably. New toilets are awful.. just terrible.

Just purchased a 30 year old house... with older plumbing. Ugly color, but compared to the newer ones we put into our former house - they work incredibly well when sinking the Bismarck.

My relatively new Bosch (about 2.5 years old) cleans better than any dishwasher I can remember having. And it's near-silent, too. New models can be good!

  Yeah I think Bosch is the better choice. What model?

    I got the 500 version based on this article from Wirecutter. Works well, but does require that we leave the door open for a while to let the plastic dry. Silent though. Most of the time, I can only tell it is running by the light on the ground. https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/the-best-dishwasher/ https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/the-best-dishwash...

      I _just_ ordered a Bosch 500 series because my (barely 4 year old) GE model died over the weekend. I was told by a friend who owns the same Bosch model that they go through a lot of Jet Dry, though... But if it actually cleans well and doesn't break in a few years I'll be happy.

        Had mine 6 years. It doesn't "need" the jet dry, but it certainly helps.

        Also just bought the same model, hoping to replace a terrible Whirlpool.

    Whatever Bosch you get, avoid the ones with membrane buttons for the controls. I have one and it is horrible. The lettering is completely worn off, the buttons are not sensitive, and you have to keep pressure on them for more than a second to register your touch. They have otherwise nearly identical models with physical buttons. If I were buying it over again, I would definitely get one of those.

My parents had bad luck with Bosch. It didn't clean, and then it leaked. But the Ikea dishwasher we bought, it was loud but it worked

  Ikea's are mostly Whirlpools I believe... Whirlpools tend to be a little more reliable but noisier.

I never imagined I would have any feelings for an appliance, but I love my Bosch (800 series and it was just under $1K; third rack is great as well).

My Bosch dishwashers were less than $1k and work great. I put one in my old house, and liked it so much that, when I moved and had to pick out another, I just bought the same one!
