Looking for an old-school dishwasher that's simple, has high water use/ better cleaning, sounds like a fighter jet, and has a hard food dispenser (or self-clean filter and screen). Prefer stainless-steel interior, no detergent rinse cycle, and uses plenty of water.
Looks like the discontinued Maytag MDB8969SDM is closest to my preferences and the new Maytag MDB8979SFZ meets some of them. Bosch 800 series and Kitchen Aid look to be good options too. For the Bosch 800 what's the sweet spot of value and quality? Any reason to pay more for a 800 Plus Series like the SHP7PT55UC? And is Kitchen Aid reliability problems enough to stay away form something like the KDTM354DSS? Thanks |

The GE GSD 2100 range is about as old school as it could possibly get these days.
Appears to have a mechanical timer, a food disposer, is noisy at 64 dBA, uses plenty of water and has a "pop up tower". A rinse only cycle is also included. Unfortunately no stainless interior and good cleaning and reliability are more than questionable. Once have used a similar older model of these in a beach rental and have to say I wasn`t impressed with the racking too, but it did the job and if someone is looking for simplicity in an old school way it might be a good match.

How old-school is old school to you? Like 2000s? 1990s? |

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. Old school to me is 1990's and 2000's and definitely pre 2013 and around the Kitchen Aid Hobart years. The DOE energy standards are well intended but if dishes are not getting cleaned or I'm running a dishwasher twice that's not what I call efficient. Like a lot of people I'm looking for a unicorn a 2018 model dishwasher made to 1990's energy standards (which doesn't exist). A bit like looking for a 1996 Impala SS at the local Chevy dealer and only seeing front drive V6 Implalas... Wanting to replce a 5 or so year old builder grade Maytag that prior owner installed before we bought the place. And bonus points if it runs of mule power...
Anyone want to open a factory in Mexico manafacturing or refurbing late 1990's/ early 2000's appliances like the Speed Queen, Hobart Kitchen Aids, etc? Pretty sure Mexican equivalen of Dept of Energy Standards are more lenient. |

I bought one of these Whirlpool dishwashers about 8 months ago and I love it! It is very simple and I only use the 1 hour cycle with the heated dry option and every load is done in 80 mins flat, 60 to wash and 20 to dry. It cleans everything thoroughly and is easy to load and unload. Out of the 5 different dishwashers we’ve owned over the last 30 years this one is hands down the best. It doesn’t have a hard food disposal, but the filter works flawlessly and is easy to clean and I only clean it about once a month. No stainless steel liner, but I have no problem with the plastic liner.
