I've come to the conclusion that all appliances anymore are a dice throw; you never know what you're going to get.

In Tennessee, we replaced a decrepit, unbelievably noisy Whirlpool dishwasher with a Bosch. Caught a sale and got it for around $500. When we sold the house, the dishwasher was still humming (a nice, quiet hum) after nearly 8 years. Unlike the Whirlpool, I never needed a service call.

Our house in Delaware came with 2-3 year old LG kitchen appliances, a label my son hates. He and his former wife bought a LG washer and dryer for his wife's mother.Paid a nice chunk of change, too. Within three years, the washer had rusted out. My son's father-in-law is a plumber. He took the machine apart and declared: This is a piece of junk.

We've been in DE 2+ years. I'm waiting for the breakdowns. I've already had the fridge serviced; the circuit board blew out last year.

Happy days!
