![]() An in-door silverware rack creates additional space in the basin, which can store up to 14 place settings. Many very good dishwasher options are available in the $500-to-$600 range, but for less than $500 for a full-size appliance, Whirlpool offers a reliable, no-frills model with over five figures of positive ratings, that still includes many of the amenities of the popular Bosch dishwasher above. Lowe's rating: 4.3 based on 606 reviews.Home Depot rating: 4.3 out of 5 based on 886 reviews.This model felt as sturdily built as any I had the pleasure of vigorously opening, closing and jostling about. The LED lights that activated when I opened the door were bright to help spot fallen forks or unclean dishes. If minimalist design appeals to you, this dishwasher hides its control panel and buttons inside the dishwasher on the top of the door, giving the front panel a nice, clean look. At 42 decibels this is also one of the more quiet options on the market. You pay a little extra for the smart capabilities, but otherwise, the LG offers the same variety of wash cycles as the Bosch model above, as well as a third rack and adjustable upper rack, accommodating up to 15 place settings. Additionally, LED lights allow you to see inside the dishwasher during the cycle, giving it almost babysitter-like power if your kids or pets are also fascinated by the washing machine. This smart LG dishwasher includes Wi-Fi capability that allows it to communicate with other devices, meaning you can start or lock the machine remotely from a mobile phone app or even by voice activation within the house. ![]() Lowe's rating: 4.5 out of 5 based on 124 reviews.Home Depot rating: 4.7 out of 5 based on 1,396 reviews.The adjustable middle rack was simple to operate and intuitive to move into position to accommodate items of varying sizes. The top silverware rack is slim but sturdy. This model reminded me of the Bosch SHEM63W55N both inside and out with its slick, modern design. In addition to being able to take a nap while the dishwasher is running, this high-end model also includes a third rack, a ProWash sensor that automatically adjusts the cycle for the soil level of the dishes and an extended heat dry option that can even evaporate the most determined drops on your plasticware. Many models now include additional technology that helps bring the noise level down to a very quiet 40-50 decibels, but this Kitchenaid model achieves an almost whisper-quiet level at only 39 decibels. Most standard dishwashers run in the 50-60 decibel range, which is just below the noise level of normal, indoor conversation. With cycles that can run several hours, perhaps noise - or lack thereof - is the most important consideration for you, especially if your open-plan kitchen is close to your bedroom or nursery, or if it's also your office.
