I have a Kitchenaid dishwasher that I need to replace. It is about 8 years old. The repairman told me that the motor is shot, and I am looking at about $200 to replace.
I am budgeting about $350 to get a new one. I saw a few at Lowes in the $329-$349 range. Can you make any recommendations?
Frankly, they are all about the same anymore. I used to be a big Whirlpool fan, but I'm not sure they are any better or worse than the others. GE used to have a bad rep from a reliability standpoint, but they seem to have gotten better. Go with whichever one you like better or which ever is cheaper. On the lower end, there's not a lot of difference.
BTW, Kichenaid and Whirlpool are basically the same company if that makes any difference in your decision.

That is what I was thinking also. At this price range, I don't see any real standouts.
Anybody's guess now days! I would always steer clear of GE appliances though.
