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?

From everything I've heard, avoid Samsung. Their customer service is apparently garbage.

I've been using an LG one from Costco for a few years now. It's super quiet vs our old one. We did have an issue with the motor, and had to pay for a technician. That being said it was an all inclusive service, so he not only installed an updated motor super fast, but also ordered and replaced a bunch of other parts for no additional cost.

    They fucked me with a non-functional computer monitor years ago and I haven’t given them a dime since. I’ve been in IT for almost 40 years, so I think I know how to set up a monitor properly, Miss Helpdesk.

    I have one hard requirement and one soft for my new dishwasher hunt.

    Hard requirement is no connectivity. I don't need to remotely start my dishwasher and I don't need to know when it's done.

    Soft requirement is that I'd like the door to pop open when done so it can dry better.

    Every Samsung I've seen has connectivity and no door pop.
