Spent a lot of time researching dishwashers online. Using Lowes home page I could do a side by
side comparison. I compared everything to my 10 year old kitchenaid. Made a list of what I wanted
and what I didn't want. I wanted SS tub, disposer, water heater, high temp wash cycle, heated dry.
I didn't want to clean a screen. I didn't want a wet moldy smell inside, which is one reason I
wanted an heating element for drying.
I had three stores in Terre Haute to pic from, Sears, HH Gregg, and Lowes. Went to all three
stores. Told the salesman what I want list was. That eliminated many models Including the popular
Bosch.
Only store to have a floor model on display was HH Gregg. It was a Maytag 47 db. I really wanted
something other than a Maytag, but all the rest didn't have all the things on my want list.
I went back to Lowes and ordered a Maytag 47 db. Get Jan 2. Bought a Lowes 5 year extended
warranty for $119. Sears and HH gregg wanted $199 for a two year. HH Gregg wanted $650, Sears
$675, Lowes after 5% off using Lowes CC, $570.
Pays to shop around and know what you want in a dishwasher.
I asked a salesman at HH gregg why so many dishwashers not have a disposer. He said it cheaper to
make without a disposer and some people want quieter models. No heating elements gives dishwasher
a higher rating on energy efficiency.
If I couldn't find all the things I wanted, I would have repaired my 10 year old kitchen aid.
I read the reviews on the Maytag 47 before I decided too. About 300 reviews.
By getting new one after the first, no chance it will break down over new years.
THE END.
