Looking at new dishwashers. I've heard good things about Bosch.
Best DW under $600?

I got a Bosch by recommendation and love it. I paid a little extra for the 800 series though.

My only issues with mine are it does not completely drain after each cycle, so it can get a funny smell on the inside if we don't use it daily.
It also doesn't dry very well unless its on the "super dry" setting, which takes a long time.
Very energy efficient, but slow.
But it does a great job of cleaning and it amazingly quiet. And the stainless, buttonless appearance looks good.

I have a Whirlpool, brand new, and it is not great.
Average capacity and doesn't clean extraordinarily well. Builder recommended it, not sure why.

Are you using Jet Dry?

Bosch. Check out Best Buy, they usually have a floor model on sale every time I go. As long as front is good you should be good to go. Their standard stock is usually cheaper as well, and they beat advertised prices.
My recommendation with any dishwasher is to make sure it has a stainless tub. This helps so much with sound. The plastic tubs are like drums.
The Whirlpools aren't bad, I don't get many complaints by them. (by Whirlpools, I mean Maytag, Whirlpool, Amana, kitchenAid -- like an Appliance GM)
Lot of complaints about newer frigidaire and GE dishwashers.
LG isn't bad either, they are made more similar to Bosch construction than American Dishwasher construction.

Yes, we are. Oh, that's the other thing I like about the Bosch. The rinse aid can be put in alot at a time, and the settings changed to distribute minimal/normal/maximum. It made a big difference on the glass when we figured this out.
Overall, I really like it. Just that small draining issue.

Bosch. Keep the Jet Dry full. Next question?

At work, so not sure on the model. Was about $800 6 months ago.
The majority of the water drains, but there is always a small amount in the bottom basin that doesn't get out. It's a minor complaint.

Does the drain from the dishwasher come into the cabinet at a point higher than the lowest part of the sink?
You have to run the line to the top of the cabinet, I see many people run it at the base. If you do that you simply have to route the hose slack to make a u-turn above the sink base level.
This is the number one cause of the slow drain issue in dishwashers.
On some Bosch units you can go into service mode and extend the drain pump time this is another fix.

It, should be dry after cycle. The water and the smell point to sink backfill, IMO

Higher than the lowest point of the sink basin?? It's pretty close. It may even be lower as I'm picturing it in my head. So that is very possible. And the plumber did put in a "U turn", but I think that is still below the basin as well.

Thanks, man. I'll try both.

I got to say - I have a Kenmore that's over 15 years (maybe it was "by Whirlpool") that isn't bad for that vintage and plastic tub for sound.
I'll be getting a Bosch next time. Problem is - I had to Frankenstein's monster connect the thing (with some help from a buddy who knew what he was doing - truthfully, I just helped him) - and the wiring and plumbing isn't exactly to code - we had to make a place in the cabinets, make a place in the wiring and leech off the kitchen sink for water in/out.
I guess I can try to just match up all the modifications we did last time - it never even tripped the breaker. All the drain line problems I've had were because of outside the house issues with the drain line that predate my owning it. Once they were cleared up, my slow drain from the washing machine and dishwasher cleared up.

You can tell he is a DIYer.
Wet dry vac, not bailing and rags for sure.
Also the impeller was jammed, in that case it would be leaving more than a small puddle.
This video would save people $130 if they did this when it stopped draining. A clogged impeller is much much more common than a failed pump.

You're good to go with an air-gap.
