Pshaw. Bad week with the dishwasher down and both cars laid up....anyway.

Have had a 100 series (plastic bottom) Bosch 2 rack for the last 12 or so years in Detroit. Been quite happy with it. White front control....cheap and cheerful

Returned from vacation to an E01 error. This tracks back to either heater or control board fault with pump. Disinclined to have a likely $200 fix on a $650 dishwasher.

Also will likely re-do the kitchen in the next couple years (celebrating our 20th year in the house). Not sure what the decor will be (alas).

Inclined toward another cheap white Bosch unless anyone has a good alternative. They have de-contented them pretty drastically (no longer a time display on the front panel--only 3 LEDs (>2h, <1-2>h, <1h). Consumer Reports still likes them, but NY Times Wirecutter claims they're not what they used to be and is recommending Miele or Maytag. Don't want to pre-suppose what our decor will be by choosing black or stainless (which opens up more options).

We put an 800 series Bosch in with the 3rd rack in Palm Springs...I don't like it any better than the 12 year old cheapo one....

The 100 series is available from Lowes with 2 day delivery--anything more ambitious (Maytag/KA) has a longer lead time.

Combined with both cars being in the shop (keeping me from visiting the stores) I'm struggling with ideas. Would love nothing more than just to sling one in the back of the station wagon and be done with it...
 
Best available dishwashers would definitely be the high-end KitchenAid and any Maytag dishwasher. I would definitely get one with the self cleaning power filter so you don’t have the messy filter that has to be removed and cleaned occasionally.

There have been several reviews over the last two years here on this site where people got these dishwasher not only do they hold a lot more dishes, but they do an outstanding job Eugene in Cleveland got one Mike electric country got one that he loves in Michigan and several other folks my partner, Jason just bought one about six months ago and loves it so far.

If you’re gonna go for a cheap dishwasher, I wouldn’t get an expensive Bosch, in fact, I would get the cheap whirlpool or Amana if you’re just trying to buy time, or of course, why don’t you just fix the one you have for a few years if you’re planning to do a kitchen remodel.
