Want economical washer / very dependable, make and model
Thank you 🙏

[mr_bill]

Sorry I don't have a recommendation other than my experience and a bit of a rant.  Maybe I'll learn what a good model is to buy now days,

Don't all the newer dishwashers (in the last decade) suck since a previous administration changed the amount of water and pressure they use so they are more environmentally friendly? 

We bought a whirlpool a few years ago and it has worked fine but the pressure and amount of water is so much less than the good old days and the spinning sprayers get plugged up with food in them - and overall it works but I hae to clean it more often and they aren't what they used to be.

Haven't we been here a year ago:

NY Times Wirecutter has a article but you need a full access subscription to read (and none are economical)

Three Best Dishwashers 2022
https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/the-best-dishwasher/

They are:
Bosch 300 Series SHEM63W55N - $999
Maytag MDB7959SKZ - $799
Miele G5006SCUSS - $1299

I like my small, quiet, affordable, bottom freezer, counter top depth LG refrigerator but that has nothing to do with dishwashers.

The Bosch we have works very well.

[Tyson]

I like Bosch.

[Bob2]

Bosch for sure.

[SteveFord]

There's one on the curb, 2 houses down, says FREE.
You want me to grab it for you? 
Might be a washing machine but the price is right.

Bosch.

I’ve got a Bosch dishwasher in my kitchen and in three rental homes. When the fourth rental home’s dishwasher finally dies, I already know what I will buy.

[Early B.]

I have a Bosch, as well.

[Digi-G]

We've got an LG (black chrome) that we're very happy with.

Previously had a Kitchen Aide that was a piece of ****.

Thanks everyone!!  I guess I’m looking to spend under $600

Bosch

[Doublej]

Another vote for Bosch.

Bosch here too.  One of the "ultra quiet 46dB" ones - which I don't find any quieter than what it replaced, but it works well and looks good.

Wash your dishes by hand. Save the planet.

Wash your dishes by hand. Save the planet.

Or get solar panels installed.

Bosch has worked well for us. It's the quietest dishwasher we've owned. It was about 3 yrs old when we bought the house; 11 yrs later, it's not needed repairs yet. The only negative is that it requires through pre-rinsing. But the QUIET is worth it to us.

I have very hard well water & no water softener.

I believe dish washers are disposable items.  I buy cheap & install myself….

That said.

I have a cheap Frigidaire model FFDB2411NS6B $280 - bought 7 years ago.

- super quiet, don’t know it’s on.
- cleans beautifully
- never needed to work on it.

Been super pleased.
NB dishwashers have decibel rating on them…

I was going to buy the very cheapest @ $235… but saw the one I bought had super low decibel rating & stainless front.

Thanks for that! When the time comes, I would much rather buy a cheap, quiet Frigidaire than a costly, quiet Bosch.

Thanks Theronbo!!
