mamapjama Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Do you like the cutlery tray in the door? Any other things you like or dislike? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Get one that works! We have moved 8 times in the last 8 years, and only 1 dishwasher worked well. It's worth the money to buy a good one--I would check consumer reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 If I were getting a new dishwasher for MY family, I'd like to find one that made it difficult for kids who like buttons and knobs to turn it on, in addition to locking the door. If I lock mine, little hands can start it. If I don't lock it, little hands can open it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamapjama Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thanks for the link! I did a search before I posted but that thread didn't come up and I was sure there had been one recently. Thanks everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msk Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I *love* having a delay-start timer, which only one person mentioned on the other thread. It's great having it run in the middle of the night instead of making all that washing noise while we're still in the room with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endorphins Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 My parents have a Viking that has a shallow pull out tray located in the very top of the machine for tall/long utensils and knives. It's totally frivolous, but I love it. :) Theirs is also so quiet that you can be standing in front of it, making your coffee and not realize it's even on. Love that. Delay timers and rinse only are great, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angel Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Make sure it will hold tall plates. Ours said it hold x amount of plates, but any plates taller than Corelle won't fit in the middle because of the spinning thingy :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 I love my delayed start. I remember thinking "What do I need that for? When it is full, run it." I love that it runs in the middle of the night when electricity rates are lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoughCollie Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) Make sure it will hold tall plates. Ours said it hold x amount of plates, but any plates taller than Corelle won't fit in the middle because of the spinning thingy :glare: I have a set of Corelle that won't fit in the dishwasher. French Lilac. It's about 1/2" bigger in diameter than the plain white Corelle I bought specifically for the dishwasher. I hate the cutlery rack in the door, so I moved it to the bottom rack. That idea was in the owner's manual. The problem is that the tray will fall open and spill silverware everywhere if the unloader does not check to make sure all the little tabs are down that hold it together. It will also fall open when it is being loaded if all those little tabs aren't firmly down. Big PITA. When it's in the rack, it stays there and we have no problems.
