We had a Maytag from 2004 untill about 6 years ago.
Wasn't happy. Had issues, including not getting dishes clean.
It died, neighbor gave us a newer Kenmore. It was better, but still
we got dirty dishes occasionally. The bottom seal leaked. Found that out
when water came through the basement ceiling.
Fall 2020, I wanted to check out Miele.
Nearest dealer is 3 mountains and about 60 miles away, called them.
None in stock. That's a lot of money to order something I've never seen
They couldn't even get one in until April.
Hit the box stores in the big towns, no Bosch. Only cheap anything.
(Cheap Bosch probably is not worth the money)
Went shopping in town, 5 miles from home.
Talked to the old man who is second generation in the business.
They are known as the GE dealer, used to deal in Hobart (Kitchen Aid when
They were top shelf) still is a Speed Queen dealer.
He doesn't sell Bosch, told us where to go to maybe find one.
I ask what he had. He was really high on LG. And claims he gets their
parts as well as anyone. At that time. (They are also a repair facility)
So, we just bought LG.
Have had it over a year, and we love it.
We don't rinse, my wife barely scrapes. Casseroles, things you wouldn't
think you had a chance of getting clean, come out spotless.
The filter is no big deal, there is rarely ever anything in it.
The one complaint. It is of the stainless tub, no heating element design.
Plastic stuff doesn't dry real well. You often have to wipe it with a towel.
No big deal, just a swipe. But it's a negative.
Time will tell how it hold up. I'm still worried by that.
But, in this amount of time the Maytag had broken basket wheels.
And that continued until I fashioned new axels from copper. It also broke
A door latch under warranty, and a couple out of warranty.
