We got a new, US-made dishwasher installed today.

40. Love Whirpool

It has been a long time, many years ago, I think it was Whirlpool called to confirm we still had our old dishwasher, after checking the serial number and confirming it was the same dishwasher the woman asked if I would be willing to give it back and receive a brand new dishwasher, any model I want free with free installation and removal. I thought it was a scam so I contacted the company customer service and they confirmed the offer was legitimate. I was told they would tear it down and try to learn why it lasted as long as it did. Well, it was a mistake, the new top of the line stainless steel drum etc.etc. only lasted about 5 years. We now have an American made Maytag ( also by Whirlpool) dishwasher, very basic but it does everything we need it to do.

I prefer Whirlpool made products because it is easy to find replacement parts. We still have the older Whirlpool Duet GHW9100 (2002) front load washer, but many parts are no longer available for that model.
