Nearly All Modern DWs Can Clean Very Well, BUT
Because a user interacts with a DW a lot when loading, unloading, being near the machine when in use and the sounds it makes and even what it looks like there are going to be opinions all over the place of which machines are best and worst.
I have read engineering studies on Vacuum Cleaner design and you have the same issues with vacuum cleaners, some people love a certain model and other people are ready to throw it in the dumpster, and again it is partly because you interact so much with a vacuum so much when using it, Washers & Dryers do not have as much interaction when using them with the user and while many users have strong opinions it is a lot easier to live with for most users.
Our experiences of Bosch Accsentra DWs that we have worked on and discussed with our clients.
Number one service call, DW is not cleaning well, this has usually been a bad inlet valve with the DW not getting enough water and clogged filters and wash arms.
Other problems, wheels falling off the lower rack, broken detergent dispensers, broken plastic control panels, wording wears off plastic control panel, the machines are also difficult to keep level and attached to cabinets due to cheap flimsy overall construction.
Many people complain about limited loading options and smaller capacity and poor drying results, overall I would rank Bosch Accensta DWs about equal with the cheaper Frigidaire DWs.
Best new DWs for least money, probably the cheaper WP products, best overall new DW are probably the current Maytags, That said I have seen no current DW that does not have possible significant shortcomings and will probably never buy a new DW for the rest of my lifetime.
Dishwashers hit their peak of performance in the US in the 1980s and this great combination of performance, durability and energy efficiency continued well into the 1990s. There are so many of these great lightly used machines out there going for almost no money that if you can fix things there is just no reason to ever but a new DW that is so ultra-tuned for noise and water consumption that they often have performance issues.
