Miele, Asko, or Bosch in a pinch.
Some low end Bosch have in the past been Frigidaire or something dressed up as a Bosch. Keep an eye out for that.
I replaced my Miele (2001 build date) this year. The control panel was getting a little unreliable. It still was cleaning dishes (when it started).
I bought a Fisher-Paykel dishwasher from a friend (lots of high end brands will give you a “free” dishwasher with purchase of bigger appliances) for $400 and I’ve been thrilled with it A lot of people sell their free dishwasher cheap
Bosch
I've got a Bosch (Serie 6) too and I'm happy with it overall.
Just one problem: It doesn't dry my airfryer pot very well. I only got my first airfryer recently so I'm not sure if all dishwashers struggle with large non-stick coated pots.
Also here in the down under they've got a different product line and there are no models that can pop open their doors. IIRC it was Miele that started doing this first so I always suspected if they got into any legal trouble (didn't do any digging, just a wild guess). Considered Miele, just way too expensive here.
Edit: Ours have touch panels tho, so fewer features are locked behind apps. IIRC in the US Bosch has more traditional control panels so e.g. you can't adjust timers down to minutes without their app?
On a side note, I recommend not putting anything non-stick in the dishwasher. The combination of high-pressure, high-temperature jets of water, plus the surfactants in the detergent, all work together to break down that non-stick coating faster than you’d believe. You’ll seriously shorten the life—or at least the non-stick functionality—of any non-stick vessel you put in there. Hope that doesn’t sound judgy or anything—you do you—but the pan will stay non-stick longer if you wash it by hand with a non-stick-safe sponge.
Newer Bosch lock SOME features behind their app. There are literally no buttons for it, you HAVE to have a smartphone and internet and you HAVE to use their app to use the features.
EDIT: clarified that it’s only some features
Before you buy one, look up how much replacement parts cost for whatever new machine you are considering. I had to get a new one a few years back because the filter in my old one kept getting clogged, and could not be replaced. You had to replace a larger part that cost almost 200 dollars.
I love my 6 year old siemens dishwasher. I absolutely hate my tumbledryer from siemens though.
My biggest gripe with my dishwasher is that it doesn’t vent the steam without me opening the door after the wash, and there is no alert to when the wash is done.
Another vote for Bosch. It's one of those products where the premium is worth it, especially if you're bothered by dishwasher noise.
Whatever the local small sales and service guy sells. There are a bunch of good ones - but the local guy will know what they need to service more often and what they can get parts for if you need it.
He sells whoever he is partnered with, my uncle is that guy, he will sell you a shitty Maytag
