Default Need a Dishwasher

We are about ready to retire our 10 year old Whirlpool dishwasher and are looking for recommendations for a new one. I heard Bosch is good, but difficult to find someone if needs service. Also, where would you suggest purchasing?

I would go with Costco, free installation, delivery and haul away, one year of warranty added on to the manufacturer warranty.

As a side note, I have repaired ovens, refrigerators, washers, dryers, LCD TVs and microwaves. But never dishwashers, whenever they fail it is simply not worth repairing. I would not be worried about servicing.

Edit to add: This is me repairing them, if it is not worth my time and parts to repair it is just not worth it.

just make sure they have it in stock, there are a lot of "supply chain problems"

We are on our second Bosch, and Toymeister seems to be correct. Our original one lasted years, and when it broke it made more sense to buy a new one. Of course, this was before COVID that we got our second one.

Online sources indicate dishwashers last 10-15 years. Seems like, after that period of time, it makes sense to buy new, not only because of repair vs replace, but in that time, new technology and improvements come along which you’d probably appreciate.

We got our new Bosch from Best Buy.

I would avoid Samsung, I understand the service is out of Orlando. I would go to an appliance dealer like Appliance Direct on 441 Leesburg, they appear to have a large selection and state same day delivery.

If the builder is still installing Whirlpool appliances in the new houses, I would probably buy a Whirlpool. The warranty work is done by Fields Appliance in Orlando, but they are in The Villages several times every week. So, you shouldn't have any trouble getting it serviced.

We just purchased all new Bosch Appliances from Aggressive Appliances. They have their own installation and maintenance personnel and are in TV at least twice a week. We avoided the big box stores because they sub installation and maintenance and it's a crapshoot who you might get. They also don't stock parts and in today's environment that can be a supply chain issue. Aggressive gives you access to management including the owner if escalation is needed. Jim Balano was our sales guy, 30+ years in the industry and lives in The Villages. I also suggest you look at Yale Appliance on Youtube for insight into service on Appliances and reviews of various lines. Aggressive also follows Yale to compare their experiences and so far, they line up.

Just received the September Consumer Reports. They have 3 dishwashers they recommend, all three are Bosch. Price range $600 to $770.

Top rated of the three is Bosch Ascenta at $600.

I will second the vote for both Bosch and Aggressive Appliance. We bought a Bosch induction cooktop from them and were very pleased with the service and are very happy with the product. It is nice (for a change) to deal with a company where the sales reps actually know what they are talking about.

Glad you were able to get something, and it was in stock!

We had Bosch years ago when they came out with the first quiet dishwashers and we were very happy. By the way Maytag owns many different brands in the US and I think they're all crap. This last time I got fed up with spending 900 bucks and went with the cheapest one and appliance direct at under 300 bucks. It does the job and is noisy but I figured I can buy three of them for the price of one better one. I'm happy so far
