Get a mid range one for $1k

Get whatever you would get for the remodel.

Cheap one - you do not need all the fancy cycles. All of them break. I would never buy a fancy one again.

Cheap ones don't clean as well in my experience, so I'd get a nice one. This is what we did when our new but crappy dishwasher failed in our 1985 kitchen (which we hope to remodel someday).

That is what we did many years ago and it worked out fine.

Get a nice new one. Two years is long.

Two years is too long for me. There is less variability in size of dishwashers than with other appliances so I'd get a good one right now.

Get one for the long haul

I'd get the one you want in the remodeled kitchen. Dishwashers pretty much come in one size so it will fit.

How big is your family and how much do you hate doing dishes? I find that I often hand wash these days because I hate loading and unloading.

Dishwasher is useless now and dishes come out dirtier than when going in. We plan to remodel our kitchen in 2 yrs or so when budget allows. Do we replace broken dishwasher w one we'd want in our remodeled kitchen or get a cheap one to use for next 1-2 yrs?
