We went with Kitchen Aid ( High end Whirlpool) about 5 years ago. Took 2-3 hours to cycle and dishes were so so. Service was great but made no difference in results in spite of various detergents.

Moral: Check into cycling and rediculous energy saving and environmental features that detract from washing dishes!!!

According to The Villages warranty department, the appliances in a new house have a warranty that is provided by the manufacturer and it starts on the date of your closing, not when the builder purchased the appliance. The Villages is now installing mostly GE appliances that come with a 2 year warranty.

Any of the big box stores during the Black Friday sales. Always the prices of the year.

We've got a 10-year-old Bosch. Never a problem . Love it. Wait . . . I'll be right back . . . I'm sure I turned it on about a half-hour ago . . . but I don't hear it.

My favorite and I at one time repaired and sold appliances. Kitchen Aid has always been great quality and very reliable. I have a KAid in my house up north now for 16 years. Still working perfectly as new. Buy the middle of the line or top of the line better sound proofing insulation. Just my opinion.
