On that note, not sure how old you are or anything about you personally, but I remember when a $400 dishwasher would last ten years, now a $1k dishwasher may last 1-2, sometimes more, but it's becoming increasingly harder to get parts and skilled techs to fix them, so it's almost like you have to get a new one every few years. Good example, one of my good friends (an attorney), just had an LG dishwasher die after 2 yrs. Cost $1k and LG told him they couldn't repair it under warranty because they didn't have a licensed tech within 200 miles of him... Offered him no recourse, he thought about suing as he is an attorney, but the cost and time would have been more than a new dishwasher, and he would never trust it again. So he made sure not to buy an LG again.
