I'm retired and living on a limited income. When I needed to replace my old built-in dishwasher I went to locally owned appliance shop. My new one was very reasonable, also a basic, simple to operate model.  I love it. It's much quieter than my former one and cleans very well.  It's also Energy Star rated. I am doing much less pre-rinsing. It holds plenty of dishes, pots and pans. One improvement I think would be helpful to me.  The inside lining is dark making it hard to see in it. A lighter color of lining would be nice.
