I bought a Bosch 800 last year. Still new. Man is that thing quiet. Luckily it has an LED that shines a red light on the floor to let you know it's running, otherwise you wouldn't know. Does a good job of cleaning the dishes as long as they aren't packed in like sardines. It was about $1,000 and so far feels worth it. I really like the three rack design. They little one on top is where I do the forks, spoons, etc. I chucked the tray that is normally used for that under the sink.

I have a Miele (discontinued Futura Crystal, which we bought when it closeout priced) and I really like it. It was $1500 including taxes. I never thought I would spend that much money on the dishwasher. They had two lower end models (which would’ve been about $900 and a $1200 after tax iirc) but my husband ended up loving all of the movable pieces of the model we have. If you don’t need all that then the basic starter Miele will last you for long time; especially if you don’t plan on moving anytime soon.

I highly doubt $450 will get you a BIFL dishwasher, but I have found some great appliances for a good 50% off from stores that are changing our floor models. The dishwasher we had at our old house was a high end Kitchen Aid I bought for about $400 and the only reason it was discontinued was that Kitchen Aid added a 3rd row to that model. We had it for a year before we had to sell that house and it was flawless (I would’ve bought it again but didn’t care for the 3rd rack design of the newer model in 2020).

Also fwiw on the Bosch the all slanted dish slots drive me crazy….I am pretty sure I am in the minority on that on but those slanted dish slots are what kept me from even considering Bosch.

I also switched to almost Corelle dishes because it is soo much easier to load than heavy stoneware.

Good luck finding something that works for you.

I feel like this is always the way with this type of product: if you want to get the best version of it, you have to get it relatively early. Once they catch on and become popular, invariably they begin cutting corners and making other manufacturing changes to bring down production costs. It’s unavoidable.

I have one of those Swiss Army backpacks, and you might say so what, those are everywhere. But the thing is, I bought mine in 2002, when it was a brand new product. In fairness, maybe they all hold up this well, but mine essentially looks brand new. The piece of plastic helping to firm up the laptop part has started to disintegrate, but that’s the only sign of wear I can detect, and it’s not a necessary part anyway.

Fair enough. I'm using the dav3pro at the moment. When my g502 had one of the feet start peeling, they sent me a new mouse and let me pick any with the same value. Picked the superlight and now I won't use a heavy mouse lol

I’ve been using my madcatz rat 7 for 12+ years now and it still feels great. I don’t think they offer that version anymore but there’s probably something similar if madcatz is still around.

They now have this new G software with their keyboards and it is a steaming pile of shit compared to the older software. Same thing with asus ditching AI suite 3 for Armoury crate. Seems like all software from the 2016 ish era was way better. main focus now seems to be syncing rgb light over functionality.
