Wes GeorgeWelp, my dishwasher has decided that it does not wish to see 2023. Or more accurately, it started flashing an error code, and began puking water all over my floor when I tried to run diagnostics, thus I no longer wish to try to repair a 14 year old dishwasher. So friends, who has a #dishwasher they either particularly like or particularly hate?
David Hayes@wesgeorge I usually check out consumer reports for appliance purchases.
Tony Li@wesgeorge Long ago, we bought a high end KitchenAid that was simply amazing. Then we moved away.
I now have a Bosch, which gets an A-. The end-of-cycle chime is simply relentless, which can be really annoying if you set it off and then want to go to sleep.
@TonyLi my problem is that the current one, that I have had basically the older and then newer version of the same make and model across 2 houses over the better part of 2 decades and been very happy with is a Kenmore Elite, which no longer exists and I can't seem to find an equivalent model from whomever they contracted to manufacture it, so I'm starting over sort of from scratch.
@wesgeorge Kenmore was manufactured by the same folks that make Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Amana, Jenn-Air, and Maytag.

Matt Fischer@wesgeorge just paid way too much for a Bosch but love it. Unlike last time you bought one the limiting factor will be finding something in stock- even now. Good luck.
Dan Wing@wesgeorge we like our Bosch after we switched to a detergent that works well with it; the environmentally-friendly detergent we used initially didn't work well with the Bosch for whatever reason.
One disadvantage of Bosch and Miele -- and a few other manufacturers -- is they filter the water, rather than having a small garbage disposal (which is the "American" style). You gotta clean that filter occasionally, like every month or more frequently if dishes are really dirty when put into the dishwasher.
@TonyLi, the volume is adjustable. I made ours as quiet as possible and can barely hear it. It can also be turned off. https://removeandreplace.com/2018/03/25/how-to-turn-off-beeping-on-bosch-dishwasher-when-cycle-complete/
