All things considered, the breakdown of different ratings on the sale priced $399-Whirlpool at Lowe's sounds very good except for maybe the noise level, and I can always just wear sound deadening air-muffs if really needed? Usually, I run the dishwasher when I am not there.

Recently replaced an old leaky Moen kitchen faucet with a $28-mark down kitchen faucet from Walmart that is a welcome new addition, so I was thinking that now is maybe a good time to replace the old dishwasher as well. It has a serious crack in the plastic near the latch but is still functioning good despite the crack so's I think I'll go ahead with a new $399-Whirlpool from Lowe's in Gilford.

Not too many dishwashers come in white, anymore. Almost all dishwashers are now in stainless steel finish for some wack-a-doozie unknown reason?
You should never run a dishwasher when you’re not there.

The drying element could cause a fire. If you run it with the drying cycle off, you’re safer. But running water while you’re not at home is also a questionable practice. And I’m super paranoid about water lines to the fridge. Saw firsthand the damage a slow leak can do when two stacked residences are vacant for a few months.

I remember the dishwashers with the reversable front panels. Back then it was black or white, only rich folks had stainless steel.

gillygirl is 100% right! I never run the dishwasher or clothes washer when I am not there. Ask yourself: what could possibly go wrong? 🙄
