In this video, I rank today’s most popular dishwashers using a tier system (we’re stingy with the S’s) and explain what actually matters in real-world use: washing, drying, reliability, and value. I start with Miele—specifically the upper-end models—because it’s the best dishwasher you can buy right now. The racking is excellent, the wash system is the best, and the drying is really good with the auto-open door. I also thought AutoDos was a gimmick, but it works—because it doses detergent based on what you’re washing, not like a pod that just splatters the same amount everywhere. It’s also the least repaired in the first year at about 5.5%, but the pricing makes the “value” grade lower. Then I get into Bosch/Thermador (same dishwasher family) and why the 800 Series is the most popular we sell. Zeolite/CrystalDry is phenomenal—probably the closest thing to actually drying plastics. KitchenAid is the value surprise: at $750–$1,000 you get stainless construction, quiet operation, great racks, and on some models fan-assisted dry (plus easier filtration on the M series). I also cover LG’s reliability track record (with a recent rack issue), Asko’s great racks and tall-tub space, GE Profile/Café for features and promo pricing, and Cove for premium build that makes more sense with Sub-Zero/Wolf rebates.
