9 Things to Look For When Buying a Dishwasher

[@pamelab424]

This is the issue we are having reviews of the dishwasher and the place that sells it…I am literally scared as I don’t want to get stuck with something that doesn’t work. That’s why I’m here and searching for Information. Thank you for the video.

I did ample research myself when picking out our new dishwasher, went with a $600 Whirlpool, excellent mid range machine thus far.

[@LiberatedMind1]

In Order : #1 Budget #2 Brand (Bosch, Miele, Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid and no others) #3 Quality (i.e. build quality, performance, reliability, reviews, consumer reports, technician opinions) #4 Serviceability (availability of parts, price of parts, ease of repair, warranty) #5 Racks (number of, type of, adjustability, will they hold your type of dinnerware) #6 Misc. features (WIFI, auto open, superfluous technologies) Most consumers only consider numbers and 1 and 6, skipping the very important middle 4 steps.

KitchenAid is Shit. 90% of people selling appliances on Facebook is kitchenAid

Great video. Your comments about the number fo cycles is right on. I use the same cycle every time on my current dishwasher. Durabilbity is more important.

[@BoulevardHome]

Glad to hear you found the video useful! And most people are just like you, just needing the one cycle. Thanks for watching!

I like normal for everyday use, and quick when I'm in a hurry.

My whirlpool seems like a good one for the money, just $500 it is over 5 years old with no issues. So quiet you can hardly hear it run. It cleans decent, although the inside is plastic. It replaced a 40 year old Whirlpool that was installed when the house was built. The old one cleaned better, faster but was much louder. I replaced it because the motor started squeeling.

[@LiberatedMind1]

We just picked up a $600 one (on sale $929), all steel inside, nylon racks. Steel tubs clean better generally. Old ones were faster because the new ones are subject to government water and energy regulations.

I would go so far as to say that if you are forced (like I was) to buy a compact dishwasher (in Europe 450mm rather than 600mm) that third rack makes all the difference. If the price of your electricity is lower at night (as mine is) having a timer delay is a must, as is the door auromatically opening at the end of the cycle to allow any moisture inside to escape.

nice tips thanks!

Honestly, the only thing I looked for when I had to replace the GE that came with my house was that it be quiet. The GE sounded like someone had thrown old metal garbage cans into a jet engine. I got a Bosch, on sale, from Lowes. Sometimes I have to lean close to hear that it is even running. Happily, it has worked well for any dishwasher function I can think of. The only thing I had to get used to was that it takes 2 hours to wash a load, rather than the 40 minutes I had been used to.

"2 hours to wash a load, rather than the 40 minutes... " You can thank the government for that.

3:35 tub material. I thought stainless steel tubs were mainly for looks amd never considered the drying benefits. We just purchased one with a plastic liner, and drying is an issue in pur first few cycles. Already disappointed and wish I had spent $200 more.

Very good video. I really like my dishwasher because it is quiet . In addition I do like the third rack where I put my silverware. I can take out the silverware basket , but not sure if I should put dishes over the area where the basket was (has separate blaster for silverware ) too much water pressure (water hitting dishes)

[@BoulevardHome]

That's a fair concern about putting dishes there, but I'd imagine it would be totally fine! Maybe you could put something that needs a little extra blast in that spot. Thanks for watching!

[@billycrowe4501]

What about Asko? I head they are a higher end more commercial brand. Compared to the Bosch?

Another feature to consider is the filter. You're either facing cleaning the gross filter in most models (often called a European filter), or choosing the kind with a built in filter and grinder in the pump. I prefer the second, but our new Maytag has that and the pump or drain line is constantly clogging and not allowing the machine to drain. Such a pain. This model is a lemon.

[@janesmith506]

@MyFocusVaries I agree with you. I would prefer not to clean a filter, but at least I know that gunk is not in the pump and motor. It's funny to think that my 31 year old Whirlpool was perfectly cleaning and drying until this year without us ever cleaning it. But perhaps when we pull it out we'll see it's full of gunk :).

[@MyFocusVaries]

@janesmith506 I know the technology exists. We've had dishwashers in the past with no filter we needed to clean, but they worked great.

Excellent video. Thanks

Great video man!!! I loved your directness and I think you would have even better takeaways if you labeled the sections instead of 1,2,3. Great content!

Do you think bosh Series 6 is better or beko the new model with CornerIntense? Which one will clean better ? Thank you

Do you guys have opinions on panel ready appliances?

[@decibellx2194]

to start - the dishwasher is the most expendable device in the kitchen. If I am even using it, it needs to wash and dry... the other garbage is garbage.

[@vickygrooman7966]

I love my kitchen aid dishwasher (currently has a leak which is why I'm watching dishwasher videos), but that handle! Do not like it!

[@Jfresh55]

KitchenAid is crap. Don't but another one

[@vickygrooman7966]

Mine was not crap. It was 8 years old before I got the leak and wish I would have paid the $$$$ quoted to get it fixed instead of buying the new fridgidaire I did.​@@Jfresh55

[@siamesepleaseme7468]

I don’t like red shotgun shell ends! I’m getting the hidden opening one. The pocket one.

[@janesmith506]

@vickygrooman7966 did your kitchenaid dishwasher's leak get fixed? What was the problem? I am looking at kitchenaid dw's now bc our Whirlpool 31 years old dw finally died.
