What would you guys
consider a satisfactory amount of time to own a dishwasher before it dies? If you buy a dishwasher, and it lasts 9 years with no problems, then it suddenly dies, would you feel you got your money's worth? Or does it need to last longer than that? My last dishwasher was a Whirlpool 2005 point voyager. It lived for 9 years and 2 months and then died a horrible death. You should have heard it. It sounded TERRIBLE! Just before it died, it drained out all of the water (thank God!) I hope my current Maytag lasts at least that long. If it does, I will be happy.....Would I like them to last even longer? Sure! But with today's appliances, I'm not holding my breath - but so far, this Maytag is the best dishwasher I've ever had.
