This^^^

About 15 years ago I remodeled my house. I put in upper-mid range Maytag stuff with the only requirement that the dishwasher be quiet, and it is. Since then the handle has broken twice ($30 off eBay) but otherwise it’s been good, it’s quiet and gets the dishes clean. It didn’t break the bank, does what it’s supposed to do, and has lasted a good while.

Most appliances are made by a couple of companies so there’s not really any difference between them. I’m not putting a dishwasher that costs more than a pickup in my house so I can wow the neighbors. If a $700 dishwasher goes out then buy another and spend the hour putting it in. It doesn’t need to last 80 years and have lasers.
