Our 15 year OLD fridge and dishwasher finally crapped out beyond repair and we went to the local "scratch and dent" outlet--they get all the stuff Home Depot has to take back due to damage. Got a heavy discount and warranty still in effect.

We went with stainless Kitchen Aid dishwasher and fridge. Also got the stove and microwave to match--our old stuff was white and everything now is stainless.

I'm 90% sure our Kitchen Aid dishwasher is a Whirlpool under the skin. So far so good. Cleans WAY better, is WAY quieter, and holds WAY more than the old one in the same space.
