Just got the top of line KitchenAid I hope it is worth the top of the line price. We have now had several Whirlpool based dws over the years, whirlpool, Kenmore and KitchenAid. All have been great performers with very little repair need. Last KitchenAid lasted 12 years, still worked but the...

Waste king dw My Mom had a Waste King dishwasher circa 1972. It had a full stainless steel interior, and panel front for wood to match her new ( redone) kitchen. Yes it was loud. The controls were somewhat limited for a dw of that era. It had four buttons for only three cycles rinse and...
