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?

        Haven’t had the best luck with Miele. Intake valve failed and the plastic baskets are disintegrating after 3 years. Washes great but the plastic doesn’t hold up to the temps.

      Miele makes some long lasting stuff. Or at least did, hard to say how it’s now because everything miele I own is so old.

      I’ve had both. I like Bosch a little better for features and layout, but I’ve regretted neither.

      Both just work. Both are fairly cheap and easy to fix either by yourself or with a service.

      I told my buddy that I suggested Bosch or Meile because I literally don’t have to think about them.

      Both German companies. The Meile units are likely made in Germany while the Bosch ones in the US are made in the US.
