Get a current Maytag DW, it will nicely meet all your requirements and is also one of the most reliable DWs on the market currently.
If you want a 30" bottom freezer, get a WP , Maytag or Amana, get one that is built in the US, the Mexican built WP bottom freezer products are not holding up well. If possible skip the french door design unless your kitchen space is so tight that you can not open a one piece door. The FD design is not only less energy efficient, more troublesome but most of all wastes a lot of usable space inside.
Skip ALL other bottom ref brands, GEs are just Samsung's, they are very troublesome and they have a very dangerous design as the compressor area is all plastic and could be a major fire hazard. |

Said it all, nothing to add. Well, one thing - any working vintage dishwasher or refrigerator will work better and outlast either new appliance by decades. Unless it absolutely MUST be 'stainless steel', the Whirlpool alternatives are better in every way. Whether we're talking about the tub or the front panels. |
