New dishwasher recommendation

[countryguy]

Why do you charge more to install a Miele DW? I installed both my new KA and Miele and the Miele was a lot easier to do. Both the water inlet hose and drain hose were already attached to the machine. There are side and back panels so no loose insulation which made sliding it into the cabinet space much easier. Also the rear levelling legs can be adjusted from the front of the machine. It took me a lot less time to install the Miele than it did the KA.

I have the new Kenmore Elite model 14833 with the new Clean Water Wash system (Sears calls it MicroClean Wash system).  I have put some moderately heavy soiled stuff in there and have been pleasantly surprised.  But I have not had an opportunity to put some really heavy food soil in there yet.  I will next week with having company and lots of cooking.  I will tell you I was almost dumbfounded with a pleasant surprise.  I put an 8 quart Revere stock pot in the top rack.  Pots & Pans cycle.  It emerged with none of the starchy scale residue that's common on all my Revere pans.  That stock pot looked brand new inside.  My old Elite could never get rid of that.  When I can I'm running all my pots & pans through just so I can get rid of the starchy film on my cookware.  The other thing is I use the extra Smart Dry Plus setting.  I had a mug sitting in the center row totally vertical, not at an angle.  When I unloaded the dishwasher the next day, th4e concave indentation was totally bone dry--I never would have expected that as I haven't had such a dry concave.  Blew me away.  Even the plastic disposable GladWAre emerges almost totally dry but for tiny bits of a little water in the crevices, but not as bad as with the old Elite.  There is one review on this model on the Sear web site.  Typical stupid consumer.  Put the review under the wrong model number because he said he bought the dishwasher over a year ago.  This model 14833 wasn't released to be sold until August 2015.  BTW, if anyone can find the video(s) that talk about the drying system that was referred to at the very end of the almost 8 minute video, I'd love to see them.

WOW BOB!!!

Can't believe you got a new dishwasher. Doesn't seem that long ago when you got the Kenmore Elite. What happened??

 

[jkbff]

... We charge the same amount to install a Miele DW as we do a Bosch DW (as well as any other dw).

The difference is Miele doubles the warranty when the service center does the install. We are a service center.

Also, repairs are not half of the original purchase price if they are done by a Miele service center. A Miele service center doesn't have to find their parts through 3rd party distributors.[this post was last edited: 11/21/2015-15:26]

Robert it lasted 8.425 years.  Circulation motor was going out--bearing making horrible noises and there wasn't any food residue in the chopper area.  If I ran it once a week it wasn't too bad, but two days in a row or similar, very noisy as the cycle progressed.
