Dish Washer Options

With so many quality brands on the market, how do you know which one to pick when purchasing a new dishwasher? Buying a quality dishwasher is more an investment than anything else. I would much rather spend some money for a quality product than buy a cheap piece of junk that will break in a year. Some of the more popular brands on the market today are Bosch, Kenmore, and Whirlpool. These range in prices from $450 to $900. Bosch is by far the most expensive, but offers a variety of features. In recent appliance-reliability surveys, Bosch dishwashers are the most quiet and most reliable dishwashers overall. The Bosch SHE55M02UC has extra features that blow the competition out of the water. It has adjustable racks with fold-down shelves. This model of washer is going to cost you about a thousand dollars after tax and instillation. Another reason you may want to consider buying a Bosch washer is for the replacement parts. Bosch offers the replacement for every part in the washer. Thus, if your product breaks a week after the warranty runs out, you won’t have to buy an entirely new washer. This is going to save you a lot of time and money in the long run. Bosch received the highest numerical score for dishwashers in the proprietary J.D. Power and Associates 2006-2007 Major Home Appliance Studies. The study was centered on over 22 thousand responses measuring 11 brands. In the end, Bosch was rated to have the best clean and least sound.

If you don’t have $1000 dollars to drop on a dishwasher, there are other options that might fit your budget. The Kenmore 13742 is a great option for a quality product at a reasonable price. It is going to run you around $700 after tax and instillation. The Kenmore doesn’t have as many features and the Bosch but does offer excellent cleaning ability. One of the best features of the Kenmore 13742 is the extra sound insulation. This is going to insure a quite wash at all hours of the day.

The next step down is the budget dishwasher. This is going to cost your about $450 after everything is said and done. If you are in this income bracket, I would recommend The Whirlpool DU1100XTPQ. Although this model doesn’t offer the bells and whistles of the other two products, it is going to give you a great wash. Another great thing about buying a Whirlpool is the reliability. Many people that review home appliances and other goods rate Whirlpool as being the most dependable.

The last and least expensive type of dishwasher is the basic. Again I would recommend going with a Whirlpool. You can get into your standard model for around $250. This washer is not going to clean as well or be a quiet as these other options; however, it is going to cost you a lot less money.
