I picked whichever had the built-in blender, heated dry, and third rack (and could be delivered this week). That was pretty much it. I think it's a GE, hopefully they don't suck.

#dishwasher monkey makes me like our 1970s GE dishwasher even better.
Should have gone with the one with the microwave and convection oven.
I forgot to defrost my lunch and dinner for today.
challenge accepted?
For what it's worth, my parents & bro love their Bosch dishwashers.
Now my in-laws Viking on the other hand, what a temperamental hunk of shit.
they are the highest rate units on CR and also don't cost an arm and a leg.
We love our Bosch DW, it has likely done ~2500 cycles since we got, still works perfectly.
My condolences
Haven't even opened ours since we moved in 5 years ago, which means the seals have likely perished throughout. I optimistically hope it's full of cash when I do decide to open it and not a bunch of dirty crockery.
Getting close to either turning the central heating back on, or lighting a fire. Crappy weather with no sun since Friday hasn't warmed the house at all.

why do you not use this technology called a "thermostat" to let it turn on/off for you?
Because this time of year I don't mind if it just dips down overnight into the morning because the sun warms us nicely then. But there's been no sun.
in my house, just the pilot light adds 3 degrees in the summer, so i kill mine once it warms up enough, until it doesn't.
Best not to try and not open the DSO.
thunder and lightning over here.
After a 4 day weekend (3.5 actually...) I get to work today and find the interweb is down. Boss says go on home and telework.
Right...
10 hours later I've had a ride, a great work out, even a nap. This job stuff isn't so bad after all...

We need a live stream of local news, pronto!Just arrived in Florida.
today i learned of an unofficial local enduro/dh mini series, 30 min from my house. race #2 is tonight, too soon for me to have my act together, but will keep an eye out for the next event.
where?!Lift service riding I am going.
similar situation here. My youngest (8) is simply incapable of engaging on-line. If he's not one on one, he tunes right out; watches youtube or plays on Scratch (side note, I can't fucking believe the school boards don't have better filters or controls on what the kids can access. fuck them. I'm supposed to be working too, I can't watch over his shoulder every moment of the teaching day).
So I bought a printer, and print out his work now, and we try and sit with him to do it. One on one, he's actually fine and gets what he needs to do. Problem is, my wife and I both work full time, and can't give him our undivided attention all the time.
Then there's the socializing aspect. I think he's a little behind his cohort in terms of social development, and he's just getting father behind. He really struggles with interpersonal interactions, and I can see it hurts him to be shunned and excluded. He really needs the practice that in-person schooling provides.
Our Province seems to be stalling on a decision to go back to school too. I can't fucking understand why, all the experts have been telling them for weeks to send the kids back to school. The transmission numbers are way down, and vaccination rates are approaching 60%. I'm reasonably certain all the teachers have had their first doses too. I can't understand why they're stalling. It's driving me nuts.

ETA re: dishwasher monkey, our Bosch machine has blown two motherboards ~1 month outside of warranty each time...
I believe my wife is en route to small claims court re: second repair since she was told it would be covered by manufacturer and the bill is 1/2 the cost of a new unit.

So, gots a little story for yas. 
A buddy was supposed to go to the only "local" lift service hill left running (3 hrs away) yesterday (Monday) but things fell though for him, so he gives me a shout last night about going today. Cool, I'm all over it... the hill just opened on the 27th so bring it on. Get the bike prepped, gear ready, food and drink on deck. On the road by 6:45, get to the meeting place, get my stuff loaded into the pick-em-up truck and we were rolling by 7:15.
Pull into the parking lot at Horseshoe at 10:15 and I look over and say the prime parking spot is open.
....hey all the parking is open...
HEY!!! Why is the lift not running and where the Fuck is everybody?!
Not a person to be seen, all doors locked. Buddy gets on the phone to cust service and....
They are only open Fri - Mon at this point in the season.
DUDE! - Did you not check they were open before you invited me?
What the actual fuck - said as I'm slowly remembering to myself, ya, this is normal, spring hours are weekends until the end of June when they go full 7 days.
Fucking noobz. Apparently we never done this before.
Well it was a nice drive....

MOOSE SHOULDA TOLD YA
I got a cheap standalone Bosch DW when I got married many moons ago.
Dishwashers are a funny issue around here. Most houses/appartments just arent built/plumbed for them. They are as rare as a house with a bidet in the US.
I couldnt fit mine under the kitchen counter (unless I got a tiny useless one), so I keep it in the small terrace outside the kitchen. My wife even thought it was a decadent extravagance when I got it.
Now, I find this amusing as most "nicer" appartments arent built for dishwashers, but have standalone "housekeeper room/bath/access".
I have seen even tiny 900sq appartments, with separated "live-in housekeeper quarters".... which occupy like 20% of the appartment.... as if you needed something like that in a 900sq appartment.
that reminds me..... i'll be in NJ for work Friday. Blue is now open on Fridays. looks like i'll be detouring to the bike park for some laps on my way home.So, gots a little story for yas.

Uuuuh, if you have a live in housekeeper, you pretty much have a live-in dishwasher don't you?!I got a cheap standalone Bosch DW when I got married many moons ago.

If I'm not mistaken, having a housekeeper is fairly common in much of Latin America isn't it? Even in middle class families? I thought it was a big part of the informal economy...
Yes, its fairly common.. and it probably is the reaason nobody thinks about dishwashers.
But its still very, very weird to me to have a live in housekeeper in small appartments.
I can see the wall of water from here. Looks spectacular.
