Reviews of the Best Dishwashers - Best Value Dishwasher:

Dishwashers are now more quiet than ever and definitely more water efficient with energy saving cycles. With the stainless steel models popping up all over, it's like having a luxury appliance in your kitchen. They still do the same old job of cleaning your dishes no matter they look like or sound like. If you want the best of the best, then the Kenmore Elite 16282 at over $1000 does the job. It's stainless steel tub practically eliminates any kind of staining, it's the best cleaner on the market, a QuietGuard sound reduction feature that makes this thing silent, a 3 year warranty. Finishing a close 2nd in consumer reports reviews was the Bosch Integra Dishwashers 800 Series. These are quiet, stainless steel models that have high end parts making the price $1200+ for many of them. The Stainless steel Bosch Appliances 24 in. Built-In Dishwasher with OPTIDRY Technology is their best seller. The S Series from Kitchen Aid Dishwashers was 3rd on the reviewers best picks. For $1100+ you get the Whisper Quiet Insulation and stylish features that Kitchen Aid is notorious for.

Best value dishwasher for around $500 is the Maytag MDB7601A. It cleans just as well as the priciest models available and gives you a flexible loading option. You can raise or lower the top rack, there cup clips to hold glasses in place and there is a feature called the "snugger" which holds non-conventional shaped items. Another model that is compete well for less is the Stainless steel GE Appliances 24 in. Built-In Dishwasher for $599. Cleans the dirtiest dishes and does it quietly. The last company that we reviewed was the Miele Dishwashers. They have several new series of dishwashers that are just hitting the market and make great additions to modern kitchens. We like the Discover G2000, LaPerla, Excella Series, and Optima Series.

Dishwasher Repair:

If your dishwasher breaks down and there is no warranty for it, you will need to consider fixing it yourself or hiring someone. You can try to get repair instructions at RepairClinic.com or Fixitnow.com. When repairs are beyond the scope of the average homeowner, consider contacting your local appliance store for help. You may get some troubleshooting tips over the phone and at least determine where the problem is.

Basic Dishwasher - Budget Models:

With the advent of quiet/noiseless dishwashers, it seems no one is interested in the basic models anymore. We, however, found that the Whirlpool DU850SWP ($300) does a satisfactory job for a lot less than more expensive models. If you want a unit with just the basics, then the Whirlpool Dishwasher gives you a 3 wash cycle, a delay start and a 1-year warranty. You can find these models at Lowes, Circuit City, and Home Depot. The Maytag MDB5601A is a little pricier at $380 but is still considered a good budget dishwasher. It cleans dishes as well as the more expensive brands and is quiet. Comes with electronic controls, a delay start, and a dirt sensor. We all wish we could afford the stainless steel GE's and Kenmore's, but without all the looks and added features that cost lots of money, these 2 models perform reasonably well and get the job done. You can pick these dishwashers up at your local Home Depot, Lowes, or Sears.

Drawer Style Dishwasher:

This is a relatively new invention and consumers are slowly taking to these units. They come in single and double drawer styles. The Fisher & Paykel Dish Drawer is the #1 seller in this class and it is unlike other dishwashers you've seen. Each drawer holds 6 place settings and you have the ability to wash each drawer with it's own setting at different times. Another feature is the pre dissolving of the dish soap as it is dispersed onto the dishes. With a pricetag of about $1500 the Fisher & Paykel Dish Drawer definitely is a high end machine and is probably too expensive for the average family. The dishwasher is ultra quiet and may eventually revolutionize the way we load dishwashers, but for now it remains a specialty buy. Sears is an excellent home appliance department store with drawer style dishwashers to choose from.
