This one also seems to be nice and clean, and the dishes and bowls and silverware, there's no grease on any of them. There's always a chance there's s...

I’d order a base model Miele from a reputable online store, in your shoes. Our budget didn’t stretch that far.

Overall this dishwasher which cost about 25% more than my prior LG dishwasher, but is louder, with less options, and the components feel cheaper. We replaced our prior LG dishwasher with this one because we thought it was the newer model of the prior one that had been discontinued. And the only reason I was able to convince my husband to buy another LG (after a nightmare warranty issue that lasted 11 months with LG - thank you Costco for honoring their warranty!) was because black stainless is not an industry standard color across brands and I wanted my full kitchen to match. Well, this black stainless was different than the prior LG black stainless

The top rack has space for shallow overturned dishes, but they do not get clean reliably, because dishes or pots in the middle rack block the spray from below. The top rack is useful only for silverware placed on edge in the slots provided so that the spray from above does the cleaning. If the top rack is not in use, dishes in the middle rack will get a better spray if the top rack is removed. The racks are designed primarily for plates and shallow bowls

I bought this dishwasher hoping to save water and energy. Instead, this dishwasher wastes water and energy. Unless I thoroughly pre-wash the dishes (thereby using unnecessary additional water and energy to heat said water) they come out streaked with food. So I have to wash them before or after

Cleaning the filter system in this dishwasher is easy: 1) pull bottom rack outwards to expose inside bottom of washer 2) turn large plastic knob 1/4 turn counter-clockwise and lift assembly upwards 3) Wipe/rinse assembly as needed and then put assembly back 4) Rotate large plastic knob clockwise until black arrows are aligned again

While it seems somewhat small, you can get a lot on it. The operating panel is well laid out and pretty simple to use, once you power the dishwasher on you have several choices to run custom washes or simple select automatic, the dishwasher will figure how dirty and long to run. Maintenance also seems pretty simple, the inside cabinet filter is removable for cleaning, simply wash in the sink and reinstall. This dishwasher also comes with LG's ThinQ (WiFi), you can download LG's ThinQ app and set it up on your cell phone, there, you can custom set your wash cycle and it will let you know when the cycle is over, pretty handy

And a final note -- The very long machine serial number, which you will need to activate the warranty, is located only on the right edge of the door. The design of our kitchen has that door edge, when it's open, about three inches from an adjacent cabinet door. Getting the number required removing the cabinet door and using a mirror. The mirror was suggested by Bosch customer service who had obviously heard about this problem many times before -- which raises the question, why doesn't Bosch put it somewhere else? Grrr

No problem it says motor covered for 10 years. Called support and after a month and 1/2 of runaround they denied warranty as outside 2 years. LG’s quality has errored over time and customer service is very disappointing.
