Choose This or That...Dishwashers

Rereview(not an actual word) we are covering renovation this week with the idea of spending less...Dishwashers pretty much operate the same. Cycle selection is about time and temperature. For example, a delicate cycle would not add any heat(temperature) and would be less time as to not damage delicate dishes...So if you are buying a dishwasher, buy the needed features

But lets complicate matters, lets look at integrated dishwashers, the fancy ones with the controls on the top.

The Miele G2670: This is the best dishwasher sold period. It is the only durable manufacturer still vertically integrated. They outsource almost nothing, and even produce their own controls. Thus, they have a very enviable repair record, along with a separate cutlery basket, a patented drying cycle, a plate guard system and of course unbelieveable controls...At $2100+, it should.

  1. I LOVE my Bosch SHE66. I've had it for about 15 months and it is a joy to use. Plus I got a great price on it at the Yale Warehouse Sale in Mansfield.

  2. The Warehouse Clearance...I never have been to a bridal sale at Filenes Basements, but this has to be close.

    Just as a FYI, if a product does not fit into a space, we do not penalize the consumer for the error...We just sell the open piece at a clearance...

    It is a great deal...truly

  4. Not a Whirlpool fan, but I dont have a huge problem with them either. Buy a good brand with just basic features, and you should be happy without spending tons of dough
