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?
No idea on brands, since I rent, but I will say: Try and find one with a macerator. The filter ones require more upkeep than I generally like doing, especially when there’s an alternative that doesn’t require it, and isn’t much more expensive (if it even is more expensive?). Landlord replaced our macerator one with a filter and it was a god awful experience
Macerators are not legal in many regions. Scrape your dishes.
Oh, I do, usually all that’s left on them is sauce by the end. It’s the slow accumulation of stuff that happens, and then us not being told about it, that was the problem.
Also OP did ask for America, and as far as I can tell they’re legal everywhere in the states, and Canada. Idk for Mexico, though. Didn’t know they were illegal in some places though
