Go to the library and find the Consumers Reports Buying Guide (or look
through the magazines)
They will tell you everything you need to know

Water heating is a good feature. It lets you have your water heater set
to a reasonable temperature, and the dishwasher will heat to about 140°
as it runs.

A bunch of cycles is a waste. You need at most 3. rinse, wash, heavy duty
wash.
and quiet is important.

You want one that heats the water to kill germs (ahould be certified by
NSF). Insulation aroung the tub is nice (makes it quieter. Timers and
lots of extra cycles may be nice, but are definitely not necessary. I
have a Whirlpool Gold (came with the new house). It works quite well and
is VERY quiet. Dishwasher in the previous house would wake the dead ...
it was a VERY CHEAP Roper. I think I paid about $170 for it and
installed it myself to replace the 20 year old Kenmore in the last
house. The Whirlpool is also Energy Star certified to use less energy
than most dishwashers. I think the one I have is at the high end of
Whirlpool's line with electronic touch controls and way too many cycles
to choose from, but it was installed by the builder so I don't really
know what it cost.

I like my Maytag Jetclean EQ Plus... been using it since 12/03 and no
complaints. Make sure to go the extra few bucks for the stainless
steel interior. I bought mine at SEARS... cost like $500 total,
w/delivery and set up. I strongly recommend you have their service tech
come to your mome to install it... cost me all of $30, which also
included taking away the old unit.

Check the online edition of Consumer Reports.

I don't quite trust Consumers. I work in an industry that they do reviews
on the equipment and much of their informations, advice and reviews are IMHO
bogus.

Anyone familiar with statistics and survey methodology would find
Consumer Reports' ratings suspect. They should be a _guide_ to
purchasing and no more. Never consider or exclude a product just
because CR "says so."

One of the problems was that often much of what they reviewed was from the
previous model year and no longer available. They also hardly ever reviewed
the good stuff and never the best stuff.

Why do you care... you initially gave notice that one of your main
criteria is that you "don't want to spend too much"... so don't even
think about top of the line units ("good stuff/best stuff")... you seem
to want it both ways, spend little but get the best. But naturally
you're a fool, because major appliances, especially dishwashers
typically get used very often and can easily last 10-15 years, so the
price paid amortized over their useful life is but pennies a day, so
you may as well have all the bells and whistles, especially since all
operating costs (electric, water, soaps) are essentially the same
regardless of model. The only time I'd recommend buying bottom of the
barrel appliances is if you plan on moving within the next two years,
or you live in a trailer, where the abode depreciates faster than its
contents.

FACT: Any dishwasher on the market today will get your dishes clean.

Decide what is important to you. The higher priced models have more
features, but often have better constructionl Stainless steel tubs instead
of plastic. Higher price usually means better soundproofing. Some have a
soft gfood grinder so you don't have to rinse. I'm not a fanatic about
rinsing, but I don't put garbage into my DW intentionally so that is not a
beg feature for me.

We have a top of the line Kitchen Aid. My wife wanted that style. It seems
well made, it has always cleaned the dishes, and is very quite. We always
use the "normal" cycle and the "sani-wash".

We looked at Bosch, Maytag, Whirlpool. The local dealer sell, but no
longer stocks Bosch because of reliability problem. Maytag had a third
shelf, but did not seem to be really practial in use. The KA had more
features that we ever use, but looked better build and it is the one my wife
liked for appearance.

We read consumer reports and chose one that was energy efficient and had
good ratings for how well it worked. We bought a Bosch, It was around $450
and we love it. There's very little it doesn't get clean on the regular
cycle and we haven't had anything come out dirty on the pot scrubber cycle.
It's also very quiet and it ranked very high for energy efficiency.

Consumers Reports. Go to the library and find the buying guide or the
issue that reviews them. I've never been steered wrong using them.
