Maytag owner here. I bought it with an extended warranty for 5 years. The month it was about to expire, the board went out. I promptly renewed the warranty and it was replaced no charge, no hassle. Thats when the nightmare began. For the next 2 years, every month something would fail. We would place a call, the problem was fixed, life was good for a month. Every single component with the exception of the pump assembly was replaced. After the rebuild its been great again. Mom has a Bosch, says it was way too much money- but its the best dishwasher she's ever had.

We have had a Bosch Dishwasher for a couple of years and love it.

I used to manage some duplexes and I started using Bosch dishwashers in those also on the recommendation of a service tech.

I think the only service call I had on one was a clogged filter and that was under warranty.

At home we also have a Bosch Side Door double oven which my wife loves.

in the prior 28 years, we had been through several dishwashers. KitchenAid, whirlpool, ge,. They all kind of did the job, but my wife always had to wash the dishes off pretty good before she put them in the dishwasher. I made sure that we have a good flow of hot, soft water. My comment to her was always if you have to wash the dishes first, why even have a dishwasher? So we always did a bunch of research and looked up what Consumer Reports had to say and all of that stuff before we would buy a new dishwasher, but we were always disappointed.
Then 8-1/2 year sago we finally got a Bosch shx68t52uc. We are so impressed with it! Now for the first time ever, Sheila never ever rinses the dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. I don't care if it's baked on cake, dried out oat meal, whatever. This thing gets it clean. And it's so quiet you can barely tell it's running. In eight and a half years we have had not one single problem or repair or any issues whatsoever. I would very highly recommend it to anybody!

Edit: btw, And I think this is very important, we have it plugged into a high quality surge protector. You need that with all these electronic gizmos and power outages and surges and stuff.

My test has been, will it get peanut butter off a butter knife. My wife will put the knife straight into the dishwasher with peanut butter on it and so far none of the dishwashers have won that challenge.

Just checked and our recent (w/in last year or two?) purchase is a Kitchen Aid. As you said, cleans well (especially on "TOUGH" setting) and is surprising quiet. The only thing I don't like is I'd have designed the silverware holder differently. And, yes, it does take longer to run a full cycle than our old one.

As others have said, the state of today's appliances is sad. We've held off on new washer & dryer because the reviews indicate there's a high percentage of them that have issues w/ their electronics. The change in washers to "high efficiency" designs also seems to translate into "they don't clean as well now". It's the worst of both worlds: more complex and less reliable.

Mine doesn't have a heating element in it. The plus side to that is you can put anything anywhere in it, no worries about plastic stuff on the bottom shelf. The downside is stuff doesn't get as dry but that isn't a big deal.

Jenn Air is whirlpool. Not sure who makes Viking.

Well, finished the install tonight & I have a load of dishes going. I'll say this, this GE is a much lighter-duty dishwasher (cheaper) than our old Kitchen Aid, & the Kitchen Aid was maybe 13 years old. Everything about it is light duty. I also don't like the way the racks load - I could not really tell this in the store. In this thread now since I bought the GE, there are a lot of positive comments about the Bosh - I didn't even look at them because I have read & heard for many years they are problem-prone. Well, when this one finally fails, I'll be taking a close look at the Bosch.

Hopefully the GE will go the distance. My last Kitchen aid went ~ 15 years but we at the time we were extremely limited due to our elected officials mad We'll see how the Bosch does long term beer
