I went to Home Depot today and saw some LG dishwashers, from Korea. Not
cheap, nice looking. Anyone know anything about them, ie are they any good
and likely to last at least a few years?

Also saw a nice Electrolux at the local appliance center, but I'm not quite
ready to pay $1000 for a dishwasher, though I'm tempted if I thought it
would work good and last a long time.
We've always been a Kitchen Aid fan for
dishwashers for some 38 years. But the
last 2 have been crap. They could
barely get through the warranty period
without needing major work. Plus, they
didn't work that good. KA has now been
bought by Whirlpool. So, our latest is
a Whirlpool. We've only had is since
August, but it has, so far, outperformed
my last 4 KAs; cleans better, quieter,
EnergyStar (whatever that means). My
only complaint is the silverware basket.
We are using an old basket from a
previous KA. The one in the Whirlpool
is, clumsy at best. It can be used
either on the door or attached to the
lower large basket. I have it nylon tie
wrapped to the basket because it kept
falling off. We still use it for big
stuff, but the simple, old, removable
KA basket is much better.
