We seem to have offended the appliance gods, since all our appliances are dying at once. I have been poring over consumer reports, and internet reviews of dishwashers and I am now terrified of buying one that either bursts into flames or does not clean the dishes. It would appear that recent advances in energy and water savings in the US have rendered dishwashers less effective in their primary purpose. Also, there is a micro-processor in every appliance made in the US, and the micro-processors break when they get hot, which seems to be quite likely and quite common in a dishwasher or oven, leading to expensive repairs. I have just replaced my oven with a GE Profile model, and I almost had a coronary when I was told by the installer that I could expect 5-8 years of service from it. The appliances that are being replaced are thirty years old, and it was not my intention to have to replace all major appliances twice a decade. Since many of the people who are reporting their appliance experiences on the internet are people who are having the worst possible experiences, which skews the information, I thought I should ask the list if there is anyone who has had a good or bad experience with a dishwasher purchased in the last 5 years or so. How I long for my old style appliances that lasted forever, but that is now a bygone era. What is the best dishwasher brand now, I wonder. Devon
