In talking with appliance repairmen (who are, unfortunately, frequent visitors to our home), your statement is spot on. Some brands are better than others (when it comes to dishwashers, they universally praise Bosch), but none of them are built to last. I’m replacing a Samsung dishwasher tomorrow that is not even 4 years old. The main board has failed, and the part isn’t even available any more. It’s a shame to see so much waste.
