Dishwasher brand/model that lasts more than 5-6 years?

| My 6 year old kitchenaid dishwasher needs a new motor. It’s $500 to replace, so it’s probably a better decision to purchase a new one. This will be my 3rd dishwasher in 11 years. My other GE one died at 5 years. Any recs for a reliable and longer lasting one? Or am I better off just buying a midrange whirlpool or Maytag instead of spending over $1000 for a brand like Kitchenaid? Other option is roll the die and fix current one. |

| Our kitchen aid is going on 17 years with just 1 repair we did ourselves. |

| I had the same issue, same brand. I rolled the dice and it’s fine again for the next 5 years. The repair guy said that this is so common. He was confident that the $500 repair would work and it has. Good luck. |

| I feel like with 3 dishwashers in 11 years, you must be doing something wrong. Do you rinse your dishes? Do you clean your filters? |

You don’t need to rinse your dishes. Chunks yes, sauces/oils no. |

| We have a Whirlpool that’s turning 5 this year. We did have one minor repair just recently. So far so good. The one we took out was over 15 years old, so this is the first one we’ve done in this house. So we’ll see! |

It’s actually 7 years old! Did my math wrong. So there you go. Hopefully it didn’t stop working in the next few weeks. |

Seconding! Bought one for my last home in 2008 and it was still there when the place went up for sale in 2019. Bought one for my current home in 2012 and we just sold it because we're renovating the kitchen and getting a panel-ready one. |

We have a bosch and it's lasted pretty well. We just had a guy out to fix it and he said that the bosch ones are the absolute best, especially the higher end models. FWIW, he said to scrape ALL the food pieces off the plates, but you don't need to rinse off sauces. He also said to rinse out protein shake glasses well -- a lot of people have filter/pump problems because the protein powder stuff is gunking up the gears.
(If anyone's wondering why it needed to be fixed -- I think I didn't lock the filter in place correctly. Then a glass broke and a piece of the glass got past the filter and broke the filter pump. So that was a $300 mistake on my part. Make sure your filter is locked in tight!) |
