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?

Plumber told us most are now made offshore and won't last long. Got Bosch, but it needed a lot of manual cleaning and had trouble with egg dishes. Kitchenaid has been OK, but every once in a while the controls freeze.

Best tip has been what type of detergent to use: https://youtu.be/DAX2_mPr9W8

tldr: add powder in pre-wash and make sure water from faucet is running hot.
