Any Dishwasher Recommendations?

I'm about at my wit's end with my current dishwasher. It is the best, worst dishwasher ever. It is whisper quiet and cleans very well.
Samsung DMR77LHS

The issue is the son of a bitch breaks monthly. I can go on for a while with the lists of repairs Ive done. The whole thing began with a horrible design on the top shelf clips. They break off and get stuck in the disposer triggering a small leak and an error code. The only way to fix is to uninstall, flip upside down, take base apart and remove the offending clip. Wipe the trickle of moisture off and reinstall. I've done this at least 15 times over 6 years. Replaced the pump, the entire sump assembly, multiple spray heads, etc. The bitch of it is, I fix it and it performs beautifully for a few months sometimes. Then something else goes wrong. I'm waiting on the door seal gasket to arrive currently.
TLDR Version: shite breaks all the time
Does anyone have any feedback on a model they have and love? I'm leaning towards Kitchenaid or Bosch largely due to the low db level. The offending model is rated at 49db.

I have a KitchenAid. I bought it last year at Lowe's after my Whirlpool died. It's SS inside and out. I paid around $600 for it delivered. It cleans really well. Extremely well. I'd buy it again if I needed one.

I don't have a rec, but I like my old kitchenaid. One thing is to consider the racks and what things you like to wash in the dishwasher. I have some large pots that fit on the top of my current dishwasher but would not fit in some newer models.
I also have the utensils in the door rather than in the middle of the bottom. The door is better for me. I can fit more in the bottom that way. Just some things to think about...

I have the Bosch stainless steel inside and out. It cleans great, never hear it running and in 12 years it has never had a problem.
Now just this morning my wife had a Speed Queen washing machine delivered because Sunday evening her 14 month old Samsung (with the 12 month warranty) blew up. This follows the 18 month old Samsung washer that blew up. I will never in my life buy another Samsung product. I looked at her file on the washing machine and she had a Consumer Reports review as a best buy in it.
The Speed Queen is the only washing machine that has a 3 year warranty and Appliance Distributors has in house repairmen for all the products they sell. Not some third party who doesn't have a clue and takes 6 weeks to get to you.
If you are in BR go look at Appliance Distributors. Fair and just the service department with guys who know how to fix stuff and get to you quickly makes it worth it. I bought the Bosch from them.

This and if you're lucky maybe Gandy will pour you a tall scotch. Appliance Dist is who we are using for the appliances in our new construction.

Just don't get a Fisher Paykel. My mom bought one of those a while back, and it was a disaster. She was so proud of her fancy new dishwasher until she started using it. Broke constantly, parts/repair costs were immense. She ended up making the local appliance store that sold it to her take it back and give her a different brand.

We have 3 Fisher Paykels. No trouble from any of them.

That's interesting because she'd read and heard amazing things. She must have just gotten a lemon, but what a freaking lemon it was...

I've heard of others with trouble, but only after we had two...just added a third. Haven't turned a bolt on either of the older models (9 or 10 years old).

Speed Queen was a great buy. You won't regret it.

I own a Fisher Paykel double drawer dishwasher. Very quiet and cleans like no other.

Martini, regarding the Samsung washer and dryer, did you happen to pay for these with a credit card?
If so, you may want to check with your card company to learn if an automatic one year extended warranty was provided to you at no additional cost.

FP is top notch.. honestly easy to repair if you know the tricks, clean well.
i like Bosch, hate Asko ($850 for some control boards, yes..thats MY price, even more after mark up) I like kitchenaide too.

Loved our Bosch, when it broke for good we replaced with Samsung model because we will be selling the house soon and could not see spending the extra 300.00. I like the Samsung okay but it it just does not clean as a well as the Bosch did on normal cycle. Its quiet as hell though but I think Bosch was a better product. We also did not want a model with exposed element at the bottom and their are not many models like that.

Certainly worth the look into.
Good luck.

I have a FP double drawer. I thought with a large family it would be great. The top drawer is broken and the repair companies I have called do not work on FP. My husband could not find repair info online.

We bought ours from Stanton's in Baton Rouge. Pretty sure since they are an authorized seller, they should service them.

WOULD NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM STANTONS EVER AGAIN..THEIR SERVICE DEPT IS TDRRIBLE......I AM SERIOUS

I've got 2 no thrill Frigidaire's at my place. They're inexpensive and have few things that could possible break. I'm not sure how much technology can affect the dishwashing process.
They work great and my dishes are spotless every time.
