We begin with Miele, focusing on its washing system, drying performance, AutoOpen door, and AutoDos detergent system. We explain how AutoDos adjusts detergent based on the load and why users report strong cleaning results. We also discuss Miele’s low first-year service rate and note that while performance ranks highly, pricing affects its overall value. We then review Bosch and Thermador dishwashers, which share manufacturing. We explain how Bosch’s 800 Series uses Zeolite drying technology and CrystalDry to improve moisture removal, including on plastics. We also cover zone wash features and app-based controls, along with the need to use connected features for certain functions. The 500 Series auto-open drying system is also discussed. Next, we examine KitchenAid dishwashers, focusing on pricing, stainless steel construction, noise levels, rack design, and filtration systems. We explain which series offer easier maintenance and fan-assisted drying, and why these models are considered strong performers for their cost. We review LG dishwashers, including their reliability record, recent rack-related issues, and the use of steam generators to help loosen stains. We discuss three-level washing systems, hour-long wash and dry cycles, and how pricing affects their value. Asko dishwashers are covered next, including their rack construction, manufacturing history, tall tub design, and interior capacity. We explain how pricing and rebates influence their position in the market. We then discuss GE Profile and Café dishwashers, noting their pricing, feature sets, color options, Microban handles, bottle and silverware jets, and reliability rates. We explain where these models offer value and where they fall short compared to competitors. Finally, we review Cove dishwashers from Sub-Zero and Wolf. We focus on rack construction, interior build quality, pricing, rebate programs, and recent improvements in performance and efficiency.
