    This is the issue we are having reviews of the dishwasher and the place that sells it…I am literally scared as I don’t want to get stuck with something that doesn’t work. That’s why I’m here and searching for Information. Thank you for the video.

      I did ample research myself when picking out our new dishwasher, went with a $600 Whirlpool, excellent mid range machine thus far.

    In Order :
    #1 Budget
    #2 Brand (Bosch, Miele, Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid and no others)
    #3 Quality (i.e. build quality, performance, reliability, reviews, consumer reports, technician opinions)
    #4 Serviceability (availability of parts, price of parts, ease of repair, warranty)
    #5 Racks (number of, type of, adjustability, will they hold your type of dinnerware)
    #6 Misc. features (WIFI, auto open, superfluous technologies)
    Most consumers only consider numbers and 1 and 6, skipping the very important middle 4 steps.

    Great video. Your comments about the number fo cycles is right on. I use the same cycle every time on my current dishwasher. Durabilbity is more important.

    My whirlpool seems like a good one for the money, just $500 it is over 5 years old with no issues. So quiet you can hardly hear it run. It cleans decent, although the inside is plastic. It replaced a 40 year old Whirlpool that was installed when the house was built. The old one cleaned better, faster but was much louder. I replaced it because the motor started squeeling.

      @LiberatedMind1 5 місяців тому +1

      We just picked up a $600 one (on sale $929), all steel inside, nylon racks. Steel tubs clean better generally. Old ones were faster because the new ones are subject to government water and energy regulations.

    I would go so far as to say that if you are forced (like I was) to buy a compact dishwasher (in Europe 450mm rather than 600mm) that third rack makes all the difference.
    If the price of your electricity is lower at night (as mine is) having a timer delay is a must, as is the door auromatically opening at the end of the cycle to allow any moisture inside to escape.

    Have a Bosch 5 yo just died repair estimate is $600 paid $1500. the repair is more than a new lower cost replacement. the Bosch didn't last as long as my previous LG that was still going after 9 years so no more Bosch or high end for me. the Bosch was quiet.

    Very good video. I really like my dishwasher because it is quiet . In addition I do like the third rack where I put my silverware. I can take out the silverware basket , but not sure if I should put dishes over the area where the basket was (has separate blaster for silverware ) too much water pressure (water hitting dishes)

    • @BoulevardHome
      @BoulevardHome  10 місяців тому +1

      That's a fair concern about putting dishes there, but I'd imagine it would be totally fine! Maybe you could put something that needs a little extra blast in that spot. Thanks for watching!

    Honestly, the only thing I looked for when I had to replace the GE that came with my house was that it be quiet. The GE sounded like someone had thrown old metal garbage cans into a jet engine. I got a Bosch, on sale, from Lowes. Sometimes I have to lean close to hear that it is even running. Happily, it has worked well for any dishwasher function I can think of. The only thing I had to get used to was that it takes 2 hours to wash a load, rather than the 40 minutes I had been used to.

      there is a short cycle on all Bosch which I use all the time takes about 25 min.. read the manual... and the old GE you threw out was built to last 25 years.. GE is now owned by Chinese and they make CRAP.

    3:35 tub material. I thought stainless steel tubs were mainly for looks amd never considered the drying benefits. We just purchased one with a plastic liner, and drying is an issue in pur first few cycles. Already disappointed and wish I had spent $200 more.

    Another feature to consider is the filter. You're either facing cleaning the gross filter in most models (often called a European filter), or choosing the kind with a built in filter and grinder in the pump. I prefer the second, but our new Maytag has that and the pump or drain line is constantly clogging and not allowing the machine to drain. Such a pain. This model is a lemon.

    • @janesmith506
      @janesmith506 2 місяці тому

      @MyFocusVaries I agree with you. I would prefer not to clean a filter, but at least I know that gunk is not in the pump and motor. It's funny to think that my 31 year old Whirlpool was perfectly cleaning and drying until this year without us ever cleaning it. But perhaps when we pull it out we'll see it's full of gunk :).

    • @MyFocusVaries

    Consumer Durables as a category for major appliances has become a joke. I wish I could find a durable dishwasher with two settings, 'wash my dishes' and 'sterilize my canning jars'. Now that politicians have decided they have some business regulating how appliances are built, I don't expect to find a new dishwasher that will do either or last more than a year or two. They'll fup appliances the way they've fdup tillers and garden tractors and everything else they've touched.

      I do not know why your having problems with Bosch.. maybe its you. Mine is bullet proof, had a simple Bosch 100, for 6 years without one problem(gave it away and it is still running 10 years later), until I had a remodel of kichen and replaced it with a stainless steel Bosch 500, never one issue.. maybe you have hard water, that will screw up any appliance unless you treat them MONTHLY with a cycle that breaks up the hard water residue.
