with a food grinder in stead of a filter (or is a non-filte
Dave, have you looked through the Use & Care Manual? Go look at page 18. There is a graphic that clearly states there are 2 filters A former member who is an expert on dishwashers, bought a GE after they came out with this design that had filters at the botom of the tub and still featured the dishwasher had the Pirranah food grinder. Andrew told me that the grinder is pretty much a marketing ploy. That the openings in the circulation system are so small that very few particles actually got to that grinder, that most all debris got caught by the filters.

If it's only your mother, perhaps a compact counter top dishwasher.
It sounds like maybe she's having issues bending and stooping. With the dw at counter height she'd be able to see everything better. At about $250 it will be less than any undercounter model. CLICK HERE TO GO TO bradfordwhite's LINK

That’s a great idea the countertop variety if she doesn’t have a lot of dishes. I got a used 2005 Whirlpool Powerclean portable for 100$ in mint condition, I recommend looking in the used department for something that’s been taken care of in great shape if she doesn’t want a countertop variety. We were lucky enough to find a 2020 Maytag built in for my parents place that had the old wash system with a food chopper plus a few filter strainers under the lower wash arm to collect bigger chunks of debri from getting into the chopper assembly, those were very good dishwashers the Maytags from 2015-2020. I think Whirlpool learned their lesson from when they didn’t add additional filter strainers in the point voyager dishwashers and they were so notorious for their chopper assembly’s getting clogged with gunk. Anyways, For a brand new machine, I just don’t think they make anything without a filter but with a food chopper best thing you could do if want something brand new is get whatever you’d like and assist with cleaning it for her once a month depending on the machines usage if that’s possible, I cannot think of anything that doesn’t have a manual filter that’s on the cheap side. Let us know what you decide! And happy dishwashing!!

If you’re looking for a dishwasher today that doesn’t have a filter you need to clean on a periodic basis, you’re limited to a few models. On the low end is the Frigidaire line, with their big plastic self cleaning filter disk on the floor of the tub. They also have a soft food grinder.
Next is the KitchenAid line with the MicroClean powered filter system. These models have the 3rd rack with spin tubes and have model numbers with 404, 604, 704, and 804. The only other option, is to look at the Maytag line. They have the same powered Micro Clean system that KA has, but with less design features. | ||

My old mum used to have a Miele dishwasher it had a filter but as she was unable to get to it she also rinsed things well before loading and in the years she had it when I visited I would refill the salt and check the filters and they never needed cleaning. She always used finish products and we sold the machine with the house it could still be going it was a super DW.

If people are pre-rinsing religiously, there should be no need to clean the filter. After all what debris would be in there? Maybe she could even get away with using half of a tablet for a full load.
What nobody seems to talk about is adjusting the amount of detergent according to the soil level of the dishes. While we find it totally normal to do that with laundry, it doesn't seem to come across people's minds to do that with dirty dishes. I use tablets in my dishwasher but often add a little powder because I don't pre-rinse much. I always have clean dishes and a clean dishwasher too. | ||

Maytag has the best I purchased the Maytag MDB8959SKZ with three racks. The model here has two racks and saves some money. No filters to clean. Works great. CLICK HERE TO GO TO 48bencix's LINK | ||

yes that Maytag....I LOVE the Maytag dishwashers out of all the ones I've seen. I hear Bosch is good too...Maytag has been low or no stock though at a lot of places for a while...
Still.. I actually wouldn't mind having a removable filter to clean periodically.... I mean, isn't that better than having to take the racks out, and wash tower completely off in the event that something gets stuck in the chopper | ||

Self cleaning filtering
30+ yo post reverse rack maytag (free on marketplace 5 years ago) - pic below is how clean the filter was after 5 years of use and no prerinsing.
Was really expecting a mess as never could see how the old maytag design of the self cleaning filter could actually spray itself clean but seeing is believing! other then a few poppy seeds it was clean!
