Tons. Frigidaire, Maytag I have seen recently. I'm sure they all have this combo. Let us know what you choose! |

Have (or at least had in December) that combination in their program. Having lived with stainless steel everything in the 1990s, I really strongly urge you to pay attention to the material used. Dishwashers are nearly as bad as range hoods when it comes to fingerprints and grunge - unavoidable considering their function. Personally, I will never do stainless steel appliances again. Too much work - they either look perfect or filthy. And they sure make the kitchen dark, how I know not - but they do. As for the interior - I've had stainless steel now for over 25 years (we don't do plastic interiors in Germany, who knows why). They are truly self cleaning and maintenance free - run a load of garlic-y or tomato based anything and you know what I mean. At the lower priced end of the US market, Amana seems to offer the most bang for the buck - they sure do clean well and nobody ever uses more than quick, standard and heavy cycles anyway... |

Interesting! Too bad, ( or for my bank account good news...) I'm not the one in the market for a new unit. I'll have to check those out. |

Personally I think money is better spent on a stainless tank than on a stainless facade. More durable than plastic, less staining. Then again, I think that euro design dw, with the hidden heating element, is better than the American design dw with the exposed heating element. Sort of depends on what you like, really. Both can clean well, I just prefer the euro design (which I gather always comes with a stainless interior). I got my Bosch scratch/dent at Sears for $350. Well worth it, and I think a better machine than I could have gotten for the same money in an American brand. |

I saw it at Standart TV and appliance, and thought that it was neat, although, spendy. I reciently had a friend of mine that bought a Kenmore dishwasher, not the greatest one and loves it. It was the higher end Portable, with a plastic tub, and it is flawless for getting all of the crud off of everything. It is even quiet operationally, which really suprised me. I know my next dishwasher, i really want a built in Miele, those are my favorate. Has anyone ever used Pledge on stainless steel applainces? When I was at Bradlee Distributing, that is what she said her secret was to keeping everying fingerprint free.I don't really have any SS apliances as of yet. I will someday!
