Hey guys,

Our dishwasher conked out (pump died, it was about 15 years old). I’ve already repaired this thing a couple times and it’s not worth it now.

Are any reputable brands around anymore? Aren’t they all owned by whirlpool?

I’ll pay the extra money if it means longevity. Budget probably $1200 or so.

Any recommendations?

    I’ve heard good things about Bosch

    Edit: or i guess more usefully, i have not heard anyone who has something bad to say about them.

      Something bad about Bosch: if you need a repair almost no local shop will work on them. They use the cheap national chains for warranty work - the type that that try to band-aid over a problem until you give up and buy a new one.

      Overall Bosch is reliable, but if you have problems they are not a good choice.

        This is why I recently went with a premium kitchenaid that also had extremely good reviews.

        I came in to comment Bosch as well, but it seems they’re already well represented here. That said >$1000 was a steep friggin price for a dishwasher, not sure I’d do it again.
