 dishwasher

well, apparently we need a new dishwasher. the repairman says the trouble with ours is the motor and the repair would cost $300 or more. i think we're better served putting that money towards a more efficient machine.

so the research begins. if you have any advice on what or where to buy, please feel free to chime in.

the repairman this morning suggested we purchase a model made by whirlpool (consumer reports seems to back that up) and to also stay away from anything digital. power surges can cause damage to the unit, he said, requiring more frequent repairs. "best to go with basic knobs and dials."

i don't suppose you want me to post photos of my dishwasher shopping excursions, do you? furniture photos are so much sexier.

We have a Bosch, and everybody that comes to our house comments on how quiet it is. I guess that's not really an issue for you guys, though, is it?? Anyway, we really like it, but I think it was a bit more expensive than the Whirlpools.
