So it's time to buy a new dishwasher.  Do you know what you expect from a dishwasher, besides just clean dishes?  Noise is important for some people. Some dishwashers are very noisy.  We learned that dishwashers generally run at 48 dB.  The Miele and AEG run 42-43 dB.  Much more quiet. You may want to keep that in mind.  Also some dishwashers have the electronics hidden on the upper lip of the door so that the fronts stay sleek. These will be more expensive models.  You'll find dishwashers priced between $300 and $1500 and surely you can find the best dishwasher for you somewhere within that price range.
