[Spridgets] No LBC - Kitchen Appliances

[HealeyRick]

OK, the dishwasher crapped out and since all the other appliances are 
getting along in years, we're going to spring for a new fridge, range, 
over the range micro and trash compactor.  We've pretty much settled on a
 Bosch dishwasher but while doing research I find the same thing on just
 about every brand (including Bosch).  There's so many online complaints
 about each brand it's tough to decide which one is any good. I 
subscribed to Consumer Reports online to read their reviews and even the
 ones they recommend are followed by a bunch of online reviewers 
complaining about problems.  Are they all a crapshoot as far as getting a
 good appliance or has anyone been consistently happy with the 
performance of one brand over another?  We don't mind paying for a 
quality product, but on the other hand we're not in the Sub-zero, 
Viking, etc camp.  Any recommendations?


No Lucas refrigerator jokes, please and don't tell me what you have that's lasted 20 yrs. They don't make 'em like that anymore
