Seconding Bosch. I've only owned one of their dishwashers for a little over a year, and I'm really impressed with the low noise level. It also had a great leveling system that raises the back by turning a screw that was accessible from the front. It made DIY installation much easier. Bonus: no smart features to go sideways a few years down the line.

I recently bought a condo that has a Bosch dishwasher and it works extremely well. Every other dishwasher I’ve owned has required some level of pre-rinsing in order to do its job. This thing has never left a speck of food behind. And the dishes actually come out dry. It’s almost confusing how well it works.

When I researched appliances, nobody could decide on the best fridge other than suggestions that were 4x the price (or even more).

But dishwashers it was almost unanimous, Bosch is best.

I couldn't afford new ones, so I found good deals on second hand 500 series ones and they're both still going fine for myself and my rental suite (only a year and a half so far though).

Crazy quiet too, I suggest people opt for the one that shines a light on the floor cause otherwise you can't hear it running (or finish).

There's also a fancier model that projects a timer.

You also suggest Siemens, AEG and all the others using the same Bosch internals? They are mostly the same but are cheaper in general.

Note: I own a Bosch the internals are great but the plastic is too thin in parts especially the corners of the top of my stand-alone dishwasher model since they broke.

I also had zero issues with my Siemens appliances (dishwasher, fridge, washing machine)

I think the coffee from our Seimens coffee maker tastes a bit off, but my wife loves the flavor.

For espresso machines I swear by Delonghi
