Objective reviews & ratings of dishwashers?
We're ready to replace our 15 year old Bosch. We were never happy with
its performance or reliability anyway. Are there any legit online sources of ratings and reviews? Browsing around, all the sites I've hit so far seem to be nothing but parking places for paid ads directing you to other Web sites. Is Consumer Reports still held in high regard in this area? Is their Web site a useful substitute for the magazine and worth the subscription fee? I've seen comments that Bosch has improved its reliability in recent years; true, or just marketing blather? -- Bert Hyman St. Paul, MN |

I get cosumers report, but they also have an online report which you can subscribe. They are an important source, but pay carefull attention to how they test and how that applied to you. I guess you Googled diswasher reviews or reports ? greg |

Is their Web site a useful substitute for the magazine and worth the subscription fee? It's common on Usenet to bash /Consumer Reports/, but the bashers either are just stupid or don't understand the purpose of the magazine. Nothing can guarantee you won't get a lemon, but if you follow CR's ratings you improve the odds. The magazine's not what it used to be, and in particular there's much less information about individual model features than there used to be. But it's still the best thing around. Household appliances are one area where it does quite well. You should pay attention to the general buying advice (features to look for), and to the reliability ratings for brands. When you've narrowed your choice to one or two models, then do an online Web search for user reviews. I would not waste money on an online subscription: visit your public library instead. They might even have an online subscription, but at the least they'll have back issues. And every issue contains an index of the previous twelve months, so you won't have much trouble searching because of course anything older than a year or so won't be much use for current models. -- Stan Brown, Oak Road Systems, Tompkins County, New York, USA http://OakRoadSystems.com Shikata ga nai... |
