Get one that's versatile. Did you know that you can convert some dishwashers to lawnmowers?
You might have to start it for her but.....
Sandwich dispenser, too!
Seriously though, take my wife.
No, I mean it, seriously though, we have a Whirlpool that's 20 years old and still going strong. I'm not sure if they're all good or still good 20 years later, but there you have it.
We have a Bosch - VERY quiet, in fact it projects a red laser light on the floor so a person can tell it's running. Has a third, shallow upper tray that works very well with things like spatulas, tongs, any flatware etc...

That's exactly the experience we had with a top of the line

Current Kitchenaide is on the fritz. Maybe not even 5 years old. Sheesh.
That's exactly the experience we had with a top of the line KitchenAid. About five years. Since it just the wife and I we decided not to worry about it and do the dishes by hand. If we ever move or get the urge I'll replace it. I actually prefer getting the dishes cleaned up and put away. It's no more work than with a dishwasher if you stop and think about it. Unless you go commercial quality they are all 5 year junk.
Yeah, but one you can buy now won't last that long and that's the problem. I had a high end Bosch cooktop that lasted about 6 years before quitting. Capacitors went bad.
