Dishwashers seems to be a popular forum thread so here is mine. Wife and I think the last Whirlpools were purchased about 14 years ago. The problem with one of them last week was that the door started leaking along the bottom. Looks like the slightly hard water took it's toll.
Since Sears collapsed not that many appliance retailers left in my area. All where exact same price on the exact same unit. Walked into the local Home Depot which I love and purchased 2 and then was informed that I was getting $100 off each and free delivery. I had read on Bloomberg that manufactured goods inventory was sky high so that must be it. Additionally, Home Depot was taking the old unit free of charge which is a pretty nice perk when you are in a jurisdiction that requires payment for any waste product. Plus my old and new units are stainless tubs which really adds the weight.
Overall very satisfied. Third top rack for knives. Very quiet and have exposed lower heating coil otherwise useless. However, set on normal, sani heat, and heat dry these new units run 3.5 hours each cycle.
