[Jucius Maximus]

We have had Bosch dishwashers for years now with zero problems.

[bobmans]

Bosch hands down. A little more money, but quiet, reliable....did I say quiet?

[sketchED]

kenmore elite @ Sears, good deals also at Sears outlet, there's one in Markham, Brampton, Etobicoke & Mississauga they also carry other brand names ie. Bosch, our kenmore dishwasher (stainless steel tub) is 7 years old, no problems whatsoever

[pfdude]

Consumer Reports currently has Kenmore products listed as their top 2 rated dishwashers.

Kenmore 1374[2] - $750 - 83/100
Kenmore Elite 1378[2] - $1100 - 82/100

Kenmore Pro 1387[2] - $1500 - 78/100
Kitchenaid KUDU03CT[WH] - $1050 - 78/100

According to this weeks Sears flyer, they claim they've lowered prices on appliances because of the strong CAD dollar ...I really didn't see any deals and all the prices looked about same as before, I wish I had an old flyer to compare because I would love to call their bluff and I want to get my Mom a new dishwasher for xmas.

AVOID whirlpool appliances at all cost if u can. I bought whirlpool stainless steel package of appliances from the builder. We were unable to shop around for health reasons and so stuck with the builder package.

I about 2 years the dishwasher satrted rusting and the stems rust and are breaking off. Now it's been 5 yrs and I have only a couple of the stems to hold the dishes. This happened after the warranty and whirlpool would not do anything to fix it after several calls.

The fridge has been making noises from the begining and when I called for the technician, he says you have id cards fallen behind which will cause the noise. The still is there now.

The ceramic stove handle gets loose and might come off if not handled carefully.

I would agree its a faulty piece if there was problem with just one appliance but what do you say when its the whole set?

I have used sears dishwashers, fridge and stove for about 7 yrs in the condo we lived earlier. I should say they r really good and worth your money.

I have a sears washer dryer I bought in my home the same time I bought these appliances and have had no problems with it so far.

So go for Sears brand, they r worth every penny you spend on them.

AVOID whirlpool.

Had a brand new GE D/W that was supposed to be quiet, it wasn't and it sucked at washing dishes

Bought a Miele D/W - AMAZING! You can't even hear it when it is running and washes the dishes great. Top tray for cutlery is very handy too

Worth spending a little more for a Miele or Bosch

If money is not an issue, then Bosch or Miele. If you are on a budget and looking for the best bang for your buck, it would be Maytag!!!

[astroboi]

Definitely not GE.

[fernie]

Our last 2 dishwashers have been Bosch and they work fantastic, very quiet too.

[wanna_be]

Have had a Miele for 3 years now best DW I have ever had by FAR

[notanexpert]

+1 for Bosch. Have had one for 7 years now, quiet, not a single problem and does a really good job washing the dishes compared to a KitchenAid that we had a not-so-good experience with.
I checked the sound ratings on many dishwashers before I bought mine (open concept dining/kitchen), the Miele actually was just slightly quieter, but quite a bit more money than the Bosch we ended up buying.

[Ravenous]

Store brands (Kenmore from Sears, Beaumark from The Bay), etc. are all made by name-brand manufacturers (Whirlpool, GE, etc.) So if you do your research, you may get a better bang for your buck with one of these, especially if you can take advantage of any store promotions.

We got a Kenmore dishwasher ourselves and I have been pretty happy with it for over a year.

Our in-laws have a Miele and while it is quiet and the design is nice, theirs has broken down at least several times and it's only a few years old.

Things to consider:
- Stainless steel inside (white plastic insides can stain).
- Do you really need all of those funky settings?
- Do you want to be able to adjust the height on your top tray?
- How many sprays do you want?

These are things that will affect the price range you're looking at.

What model is it for the Bosch you have

[Chookman]

I own a Bosch and a friend has a Meile. Personally, I wouldn't recommend the Bosch. The Bosch does do an awesome job at cleaning the dishes which I guess is the main thing required of a dishwasher but the panel is cheaply made. The glass over the digital readout has come loose and fallen down into the panel and one of the mode selector buttons no longer works because the plastic resistor pad in behind the buttons has snapped. So, until I pony up $75 and spend an afternoon pulling apart my front door, I no longer have a regular wash cycle and have to use econo or pot scrub.

The Bosch is like a BMW (great performance but get your wallet ready for repairs) while the Meile is like a Lexus (does everything you want, has some great features that you'll use and appreciate like the upper cutlery tray and is solidly built).

According to this weeks Sears flyer, they claim they've lowered prices on appliances because of the strong CAD dollar ....

Aren't most such large kitchen appliances made in Canada and thus not affected by currency? Other than perhaps Bosch and Miele which I assume are European but the Euro's rising strongly so we're not going to see any benefit there.

this one:

we paid $600 because we get everything at cost from our salesman at the brick

[notanexpert]

What model is it for the Bosch you have

thanks

Sorry for the delay in getting that model #. It is SHU8815UC. Its a really simple one, probably their bottom of the line, although it is in stainless steel inside and out. Its simplicity may be the reason we had no issues with it, unlike one of the posters above (no display on ours, and the few buttons there are seem pretty robust). Since I bought this 7 years ago, I'm not sure this is relevant at all.
The Miele being the Lexus of dishwashers may be accurate, although brings up the wrong impression, as Miele is also German made, like Bosch and AEG. Another European option that you can get in Canada is the Asko, which is Swedish.

[Keigotw]

thanks all for the info

[JAC]

Bosch +
Miele ++

[Keigotw]

I went to the brink and saw a dishwasher
brand: Brada
Anyone have it? or know anything about it? or hear of any feed back?

thanks

[Rosico]

I've never heard of Brada and it isn't on consumers reports.

I'm looking at this model at Sears right now: Bosch SHE43M05UC which looks like the well rated Bosch SHE45C0[2]UC (does anyone know the difference from the 43 to the 45??). The 43 is going for $899 and would like to know if anyone knows of a better price in the GTA.

I went to Appliance Canada and Tasco
they can only match that price, nothing better

[GunnerX]

+1 I've had my Miele for 4 years now and it's great. That utensil tray is very useful. Extremely quiet too.

Thanks for the insight - will this qualify for the PST rebate (or is it that they don't charge the PST)?

When I went to Appliance Canada - he said I'd get the 45 for $999. Trying to determine if there is that great of a difference between the two models ...

Looks like the differences are that the 45 has Rackmatic (you can change the upper rack for odd items), optional half load wash, optidry and is slightly not as loud (51dBA vs. 54dBA).

Do you mean The Brick?

Be careful of them, in my opinion they have the WORST service. Heaven forbid you have warranty issues with anything from there. The Brick's installers destroyed some of the hardwood floor in my condo when they dragged the dishwasher in (for delivery/installation) right over the wood without any protection! Also I phoned their warranty people 10+ times to get the price of the extended warranty and nobody answered a single time!

Go for Sears. Much better service.

Brada is a store (Brick) brand like Kenmore is to Sears. Go and check out Appliance411 and read. I did and got a good education.

I went to Morley's Appliance Store (close to Appliance Canada). Mike E. there gave me a great price on some appliances I bought. I highly recommend the store (and Mike as a sales person). They carry Miele, Bosch, and several other brands.

Morley's is simliar to Tasco but offered slightly better pricing.
