I saw a innovative design in a model house where the dishwasher was raised about a foot off the ground. It minimized the bending you have to do when loading/unloading.
Got a floor model ASKO during the pandemic as it was the only panel mount dishwasher available, turned out to be a great dishwasher, the fan really does pull all the moisture out at the end of the cycle and every single part feel solidly made, very expensive feeling parts all around.
I really appreciate that you compare a full range of appliances and review a large number of them. It's great to get so much expert information in a single place. I would like it if there were additional pictures of the appliances - inside, etc, while you are discussing them. You're both handsome guys, but more pictures of the appliances would be more helpful. Thanks.
I agree with OP: watching somebody open and close doors and racks, put in and remove some plates and bowls … Our dishwasher is good but the bowl racks are oddly spaced - we can only put our bowls in every-other slot - but so far apart that 6 bowls completely fill the front half of the bottom rack.
I've been pleasantly surprised by my LG dishwasher that has the steam function. It's not the quietest dishwasher I've owned, but it cleans better than anything I've had in the last 20 years (GE, Kitchenaid). Hopefully it runs for a long time.
Make sure to use a 1800joule surge protection adapter to your power outlet. Digital electronic controlled appliances are sensitive to power surges. My central gas home heater blew the control board 3 times (when UNDER 1y WARANTY) UNTIL I installed a 1800joule surge protection adapter for it. It has been trouble free for over 15 years.
You are paying more for the Miele dishwashers because it lasts up to 20 years. You need to make this clear. I have just replaced my Miele dishwasher after 19 years with a very similar model that you are testing. Used almost everyday. They also use less water and energy. It’s Amazing the new model. It Cleans superbly and you can’t even hear when its on. 😊😊
@@YaleAppliance1 yes well, there are no guarantees in life! ( and yes there are “lemons” in every d/w brand!) I will reiterate that Miele d/w ‘s lasts UP to 20 years”! If you look after the machine. And read the manual very carefully!)
@@YaleAppliance1 Thankyou for this stellar review guys!!… and also ignoring retarded demands on how to run your channel! Keep up the all the great work my friends!
I had a couple people think im crazy for saying that some of the LG dishwashers are actually pretty good, glad to see I'm not that crazy! I dont remember the model off rhe top of my head but my mom has a model similar to this one here, no steam, but does have Quad wash. It has by far been of the the best washing dishwashers i ahve used. The amount of crud and testing i have done with it personally, and it still produces clean dishes, is amazing to me. As long as you use a good detergent, and the correct cycle, they work vwry well. The extra dry reslly does help too, though it does take longer.
Appliance tech, I always feel weird recommending them...but I get very few service calls with them and all customers seem satisfied with their wash performance
Had a Samsung. Worked great for a few months. But then they completely refunded my purchase price after FIVE different service techs couldn't figure out why it stopped working. And dealing with their service was a nightmare. Never buying another Samsung appliance.
I saw a pretty unique feature on a non-US AEG model . The lower rack could be pulled out and then sort of lifted up to be in front of the middle rack, so you had to bend down less . I'm not sure how well such a mechanic would hold up long term, but I'd definitely like it to be adopted by more models , as you could both fill it up and unload at a higher position . It would be an excellent sales point for older folks ... (and I'm not that old !!) . 😅
Have a basic Miele dishwasher - it is fantastic except the drying. Also have a Midea dishwasher that is comparable to the Bekos. It is not terrible but would not buy again. The racks are hard to use and already started rusting after 5 years. Will replace with a 5000 series Miele. 3 times the price but worth it for the longetivity.
I have a Miele g 2000 series which is 11 years old and the longevity drives me crazy because I want a newer quieter dishwasher with better drying but I can’t justify the expense until this one dies
We installed a GE GDT695SSJ4SS about 4.5 years ago. I'm happy with it, but feel that it's a bit louder than when new. Back then it was barely audible while standing in the kitchen. Now, from the living room you can occassionally hear when a solenoid opens. Bookmarked this video for the day (please God soon) we buy a larger house.
Where did you guys find the stats to know the Miele dishwasher had a 2.7% repair rate in the first year. I am starting in appliance sales and if you have the source i would be very grateful. Thanks for the video
@@TahoeJulie I would be interested (just for the content value) in reviews of “plain” small refrigerators, wine fridges, blenders, etc. Seriously, people buy way more of these in their lives than full size home appliances.
I have a Bosch and the tines are rusting and breaking of of the racks...Is this a known issue or just an issue with my older cheaper model? Its about 7 years old, and was around $600 at that time. Thanks. Great video!
I ordered the LG just to have them show up to install and I was told it can't go in as the drain hose is too short and you aren't allowed to add an extension as the pump isn't made to pump water that far. He said only samsung and LG have this issue.
We installed a LG (cannot recall the model number and it is running right now so cannot look) and it cleans great but we are not super pleased with the racks. The bottom rack is hard to move when it is full and often “jumps the track” and is hard to re-track.
I live in Florida. High humidity. Considering Bosch 500 or LG high end with quad washing, interior lights etc etc I'm concerned that the Bosch will not dry because of our high humidity. Any thoughts. I want my plastic to be dry when i remove - not that I need to towel dry...
7:54 Is it just me, or has LG post-pandemic been trying to establish themselves as the Toyota of home appliances? That is to say they have been prioritizing reliability first, even if that comes at the cost of performance and features.
LG is more focused on appliances especially since they are out of phones. They manufacture more of the key components so they survived the pandemic better than most.
Nah, they've been reliable for a long time. Before their linear drive compressor issue, I recall that hotels had pooled their appliance repair numbers and Goldstar, which was what LG used to be called, was by far the most reliable and when Sears was still big in appliances their numbers also showed this (it's why they had their Kenmore line be made by LG). It's a shame they've succumbed to moving their manufacturing outside of their country as when they built their linear drive compressors there, they were solid.
@@anfernyjackson9013 LG still makes reliable TV's and computer monitors, but I wouldn't trust them with any other appliance. Same with Samsung, great phones, not so great appliances.
I doubt it. Get a separate water system if you need one. I have a Bosch 800 series cooktop, dishwasher, oven, and fridge 12 years ago. All going with no issues except the dishwasher. Some plastic parts gave out and I was able to find the parts online and fix myself. Dishwasher is good again. The oven heats up twice as fast as a normal oven, the induction cooktop has an automatic mode and boost to quickly heat up plus super easy to clean. No issues with the fridge. Very nice appliances
I'm still an LG skeptic but reliability rating is promising. You guys need to review the filters because some of them (KitchenAid higher end for example) are problematic long term. I'm a believer in old style spin out filters
Miele...I have 3 and on the end all have errors and can't be fixed! I try Siemens and Bosch also Neff. Good but ....similar problems and I try finally Bauknecht. Wow. Wow. Wow. What are difference. No more stress situations with servicing Name Miele and similar "quality" dishwashers. Too much cost everything! >Read : astronomic expensive dishwashers without any good.reason for that and without real support. Well....Bauknecht is great in every aspects. 👌 Prices is incredible and quality is with big Q. 😎👍
I bought the s-rated LG in 2019. It came with 1-year std warranty and wouldn't you know it, it started failing at 13-months and LG refused to stand behind the product. What's worse, my repairman isolated the motor as the problem and the unit has a large metal sticker on the door announcing a 10-year warranty on the motor! He notified LG in an email of the issue and after 6-months of arguing with them they still refused to honor their warranty. I will never buy another LG appliance again!!
Same here. I have a 5 year old lg dishwasher with the same 10 year warranty label on the door and ALL 3 OF MY RACKS RUSTED OUT. called them several times and even escalated the issue to their head office, only to be given a 30% discount on purchasing new racks totalling $700 plus

Every single review I've seen place them near or at the top while other brands have varied.

Dishwashers (and all appliances now) need to be compared by longevity. To have a relatively brand new dishwasher suddenly burn out - it's unacceptable. So tell us which one last the longest. Quality - not fingerprint-free - is what matters most.
My basic GE with plastic interior and heater element just busted last week motor startéd leaking 1992 model guess i cannot complain this model was under 400.00 Canadian in 1992 i am doubt full any manufacturer makes basic models like this now.
These videos are interesting but not particularly helpful for choosing a reliable unit. You should include warranty information, parts availability, serviceman feedback, and average cost of repairs.
I would not purchase a dishwasher that has a filter that needs cleaning. I have a new Maytag, has same water cleaning system as the Whirlpool. Continuously cleans the water without extra water usage.
none of the newer dishwashers are actually "more efficient" because they run 4 - 5 times longer amd dont even dry as well as the older dishwashers. Using less water and more electricity doesnt make them cleaner, dryer or "more efficient"
All the reliability percentages you give are within the first year...what about long term? Everyone expects their dishwasher to last at least a year without issues...what about 5 years? or 10 years? Who cares about features and first year service calls if you have to replace it in the next 4 or 5 years.
Everyone expects their (appliance) to work perfectly in the first year, but that's not reality, and understanding which brands tend to have more faults / fails in the first year is good information. A brand with 12% first-year service need is less likely to last 10 or 20 years than a brand with 6% first-year service need.
I have a hard time to figure out what S A B and C stand for, so the ranking is meaningless. Anyway, I had a kitchenaid unit, bought in 2013 for about $1500. Many plastic shelf components broke after 3 years. Even worse is that it started leaking after 5 years. I spent about $300 to fix the leak, but 2 years later it started leaking again. So I threw it out. No more kitchenaid for me.
@@YaleAppliance1 If I am not mistaken the ranking system was popularized by video games, mostly racing games where they would tier the vehicles in that manner.
Well, LG has been the most reliable dishwasher over the last three years based on over 100,000 service calls logged by us in less than three years. It also costs $400-1000 less. But Miele is a great dishwasher. Like em both

Anyway, I had a kitchenaid unit, bought in 2013 for about $1500. Many plastic shelf components broke after 3 years. Even worse is that it started leaking after 5 years. I spent about $300 to fix the leak, but 2 years later it started leaking again. So I threw it out. No more kitchenaid for me.
S is the best, followed by A and then B...Didnt understand that myself, but they said it is a common RUclips ranking system
Look up "Tier list" on Wikipedia. It's a subjective rating system from the gaming community. From best > worse | S > F
@@YaleAppliance1 If I am not mistaken the ranking system was popularized by video games, mostly racing games where they would tier the vehicles in that manner.
Miele A but LG S? ahaha. If you need a dishwasher for a couple of years, you can take an LG
Well, LG has been the most reliable dishwasher over the last three years based on over 100,000 service calls logged by us in less than three years. It also costs $400-1000 less. But Miele is a great dishwasher. Like em both
