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 am curious, how many plates do people with dishwashers normally own? I own 4 and don’t really have space for a dishwasher anyway, but sticking 4 plates in it seems wasteful. Most other things I have are hand wash only.

      I just went to my cabinets and counted. I have a set of 12 each of three sizes of plates: dinner, salad and saucer. Same for two sizes of bowls. Additionally I have some non-matching bowls and a couple of toddler plates. I only run my dishwasher when full, which is usually once a day but sometimes twice. Of course, it’s not just plates but also mugs, glasses and cookware.

      Oh my. I have over 25 plates probably. Probably over 30 if you count small ones

      My childhood ones, my so’s childhood ones, and their fiesta ware ones we dont use a lot.

      Definitely have over 40 cups.

      Is this not normal 😅
