Buy both at Costco?


I just bought a mid-high end Maytag and it works great.

I worked in the industry for a while and although Maytag may not be as
energy efficient as a Bosch or Miele or that other high end stuff...it would
take a lotta washing to make up that price premium.

The Maytag cleans like a MF and thats what matters.

FYI, I went to COSTCO yesterday and our COSTCO does not sell
dishwashers. Lots of iceboxes, flat screen TVs, wine cooler box
things etc. but no dishwashers. With our small population, less than
100,00 residents on our side of the island, we have COSTCO which has
been here the longest - 10 years, and more recently Home Depot and the
most recent Lowe's--I think they figured out how to sell different
things. For example, COSTCO used to sell house paint but I noticed
once HD and Lowe's came, COSTCO stopped selling paint. Lowe's does
sell dishwashers, and I have yet to check the local small store, but
will.

> Have to go get a new dishwasher tomorrow at Lowe's.

Why Lowes? In most cases, your local dealer can match their prices and give
you much better service. Most dealer belong to buyer co-ops and can give
very competitive prices. Last time I looked at Lowes, by local dealer beat
their price and gave me faster delivery. YMMV, but it is worth checking out.
When I bought a washing machine, it was delivered in two hours.

In general, the higher price units are better made and have more features.
The cheaper brands have plastic liners, the better brands have stainless
steel liners. Even the cheaper units will wash dishes very well though, and
most fancy models have more cycles than you will ever use.

Cheap brands are Frigidaire, Hotpoint
Better brands are Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag.

FWIW, we are very happy with our KA

We JUST ran our new LG for the first time the other day so I can't say
anything about reliability, but it has to be the quietest dishwasher
I've ever encountered! Gets everything clean too. Like I said, no
idea on reliability, but no complaints so far. Had a Kitchenaid in our
previous home and it ran trouble free for the three and a half years we
lived there. It was a tad noisier, but still relatively quiet. I
agree with the others on features, get what you need no more. If
you're into efficiency, make sure it has an "energy save" option to
turn off the heated dry.

Thank you every body. I tried to read about dishwashers as much as I
could but I do not have a high end type income, which a lot of the
writings were about.

I have gotten so much information from you all:) and thank you! I
never thought of going to my local dealer but it is a good idea. I
just didn't want to over spend and (wrongly) assumed Lowe's was
cheaper. I'll check around and be able to make a much better choice
because of your input.
