I had a chat with Sears about dishwashers because I'm not sure what I
need, whether built-in, or whatever. They referred me to this link and
it covers a lot of stuff.

Lee, I'm very confused about how to pick out new appliances. Since I
bought this house I've replaced the washer and dryer, not to hard but
due to the widths the new ones had to swap locations from the old ones.
Also replaced a very old heat pump and hot water heater with no
issues. But the kitchen stuff I'm finding it hard to know how to
replace them and get what I need.

When I got my fridge, I really had no choice because of the space I had. I
had to get an electric stove, I wanted self cleaning and it needed to be
biscuit color to match what I already had. When I got the dishwasher, I
just got an inexpensive one that was the right color and got good reviews.
I don't use the dishwasher much and don't need anything fancy.

i totally understand, Lee

did you decide on a dishwasher?

I'm sort of looking at this one. The price shown isn't the discounted
price. I picked them because I get a discount through my employer.

See if you can look at the silverware holders. The one in my new
GE is loathesome.

One can readily purchase after market flatware baskets for
dishwashers, typically better designed than the originals. However
I'm completely satisfied with my Maytag... whichever you choose be
sure to get a dishwasher with a stainless steel liner... plastic
liners stain, they absorb odors and schtink.

Yes, the question is whether I can get one that fits in the
allotted area. I need to remind myself of whether that is
complete with prongs, which would complicate things. The GE and
the Bosch at the old house have SS interiors. The Bosch's
interior is noticeably less chintzy than the GE's. If I can get
over the abysmal repair situation, I may switch them.

The cutlery holder is kind-of like the center part of this:

with far fewer holes, more space between the holes, and no ability
to take off the top. IMO, it not only limits the number of things
one can wash, but it also is idiotic to have the things in slots,
with the spoons just hanging there, etc., etc.

I think I agree with what you said. I had 2 maytags and liked them both but
because of information from a sale person I decided that Maytag was not as
good as it had been in the past, so I bought a Whirlpool. Maybe it is just
because I was more used to the Maytags but I don't think it is as good. The
plastic stuff on the inside, tabs, adjusters and such just seem
unsubstantial. It does have all sorts of setting and cleans really well if
you do the soak and scour setting, which takes 4 hours plus. But for just
normal settings, the Maytags were the best. The price is about the same
too.

That is one thing I wanted with my dishwasher. I have a G.E. BTW. I wanted
the silverware holders on the bottom and not flat on the top like some are.
There is a slight problem with mine in that the top rack is close enough to
the bottom that I can not put my larger pieces in the silverware
compartment. Things like pancake turners, mixing spoons, etc. Not so much
a problem though because I can lay them across the top rack. I usually just
put them in the middle. The rack is such that they do not fall through.
With some of my other dishwashers, the rack was such that those things or
plasticware did fall through and melt on the bottom. Not good!

They have slotted lids, and one is supposed to put the place
settings in each slot. The spoons kind-of hang there. There is
relatively little space to put anything in!
