Recommend your dishwasher

[Anonymous]

I'm not interested in spending more than $1000, so no thermadors or Mieles please.

I bought this Bosch a couple years ago and it's the best dishwasher I have ever owned. The third rack at the top is a game changer. It's even cheaper if you don't mind the front controls but this one has hidden controls.

I have a Bosch 800. I f$&ing hate the buttons and it smells, but I love the 30 minute cycle. I can’t live without it and it’s all I look for when I have to shop for one. So know what’s most important to you.

I'd like to add that it was a learning curve to figure out how my dishes would load efficiently into the racks. It's a very different configuration that what I was used to with my old Whirlpool but I did figure things out.

I have a Bosch 800 and I hate it so much.

I used to have a top of the line GE Profile (but we moved and replaced the crummy one that was here with the Bosch). I will never buy another Bosch

Previous poster with the Bosch and I found that the short cycle leaves it smelling off and I have to run a full-length cycle regularly to keep it smelling good. I also rinse the filter under the hot tap regularly. I typically load it and start a full-length cycle just as I'm heading to bed at night.

Any particular reason?

In 2020 I purchased a kitchenaid and love it. It’s quiet, has a 3rd rack, and top shelf that can be raised & lowered. Under 1k and the model is still selling: kdfm404kps

The low end Bosch should be avoided. We are quite happy with our higher end Bosch. Ours does not include a 30 minute cycle. The fast cycle is about 75 minutes.

With *any* brand/model of dishwasher, we always have at least rinsed the food/sauce off of dishes before putting it in the dishwasher.

Did it ever occur to you that the reason you hate your dishwasher is because you think a 30 minute cycle is long enough to actually clean your dishes? A proper cycle should run 90-120 minutes.

No, the smell is not stinky like food it’s the plastic or something. Ozone? Idk but the regular cycle is actually worse as far as the smell. It has gotten a lot better since it was new and it’s not a deal breaker for me. I googled it to make sure it wasn’t installed wrong or something and found tons of complaints so I think it’s just a design flaw.

The 30 minute cycle cleans beautifully. And, it’s so quiet. I use it all the time and I love it. If I don’t get to the breakfast dishes, I can put them in with the dinner cooking stuff and run it while we eat. Then I just empty and load a few plates. I also use it a lot during parties.
Zero complaints about the 30 minute cycle and my point is I would prioritize it over anything else if/when I have to replace it.

Just bought the Wirecutter recommended Maytag and am REALLY impressed.

How does it dry the dishes? Does it have an heating element -- though could be giving off an odor like ozone.

We have a fancy dishwasher for various reasons, a Miele, and it dries dishes by rinsing the last cycle with crazy hot water and then popping open the door and evaporation dries everything.

It has a heated dry option but mainly I just don’t ever notice or care if there’s a little water on stuff. Someone on this board said they dry everything that comes out with any water before putting it away and I don’t get why I would do that? Something just isn’t computing for me. If there are drops of water on something they just dry off on their own. I don’t see the issue.
