A good dishwasher will outlast a cheapo plastic interior probably a couple
of times over, and besides, plastic interiors crack, stain, look dingy, and
tend to hold odors. Older top-of-the-line dishwashers (our last one was a
1976 KitchenAid Superba) had porcelain interiors, but stainless is less
expensive and even more durable as it won't chip like porcelain will if
abused. Our second and present dishwasher, a 2002 KitchenAid Superba, has a
stainless interior and the kids already dropped a heavy implement into the
open door and put a nick in it, which would have been a chip and maybe a
small dent in porcelain.
FWIW, in 26 years all we replaced in our old KA was a set of racks, as the
old plastisol-coated ones eventually rusted, and one timer. Not really a
disposable appliance...
