I've been looking at dishwashers for our Michigan home. I say looking as Mom doesn't want to buy a new one until ours bites the dust. Personally, I think the dust is a lot closer than she would like to think!

I haven't looked at Consumer Reports but I did look at the reviews on Lowe's website. We live in a small town and Lowe's is our only close option. People liked Bosch and Whirlpool in the Lowe's reviews. The main complaint with the Bosch was that it didn't hold a lot. People said it might have been an energy saver but they had to do dishes more often so they didn't really think they were ahead of the game. Another complaint, was that most people didn't like the silverware tray on the door. If I remember right, this complaint was with both Bosch and Whirlpool. They said it was hard to get larger utensils out of the dishwasher because of the placement of the tray and the soap dispenser.

I haven't looked at the dishwashers in person but because of the interior size, I am leaning towards the Whirlpool.

I have a Whirlpool Gold in my TV home. I am renting my new TV home, so other than the walk through on closing day, I haven't really used it yet.
