A Bosch. Most of the other brands currently available are actually made by the same manufacturer anyway.

The mid-priced Kenmore dishwasher receives high scores for excellent cleaning ability and very low noise, but it doesn't have quite as many extra features as more expensive models. The Kenmore dishwasher skips the stainless-steel tub in favor of a plastic tub, which helps to reduce costs. It has a delay start and a quick-wash cycle, along with extra sound insulation for lower noise. The Kenmore 13742 comes in white, bisque, black or stainless steel (which costs $100 more). All models meet Energy Star standards. As with all dishwashers, we found a smattering of complaints about long-term durability, but most owners are very satisfied.
