bosch dishwasher repair

We took a look at some analysis done consumer reports and thought we'd share with you what consumers thought the best (and worst) dishwasher brands are. In general, we see Bosch holding the top spot, which is rightfully deserved in our opinion. Also, we see the South Korean appliances hanging at the bottom of the ranking - LG, Samsung (who isn't listed but ranks on par with LG from our experience), etc. create some find looking machines, but these South Korean brands are currently struggling with quality.
