My GE dishwasher does a good job and is really quiet. GDT580SGFWW. It has several cycles and can turn off heated dry independent of the wash cycle.

And like Joe, look for a Bosch.

Yes, you can buy and install a new dishwasher in your kitchen prior to renovation, and then re-install it after the kitchen renovation. This is assuming your old dishwasher wasn’t some odd size, then you might run into some trouble replacing it. My only dishwasher advice is to stay away from LG, that was the worst dishwasher I’ve ever owned and it crapped out after only 2 years, and the racks were rusting through anyways. Piece of junk!

skmom - A good friend had an LG kitchen - stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator. They were all complete junk. They've since replaced the dishwasher - I'll have to ask her what she has now. Her LG refrigerator has been repaired numerous times, and her stove knobs pretty much disintegrated - the plastic was so crappy. They had to replace them - over $100 just for the darned knobs. They make good TVs and lousy kitchen appliances.

You can get a Bosch 300 series for under $700 if you shop around. Some Bosch dishwashers are better than other Bosch dishwasher but almost all are soooo worth the money.

Always something. We’re going to have to have the old Kitchenaid repaired until we redo the kitchen. The previous owner put thick ceramic tile in n front of the dishwasher, so we cannot get it out. When we redo the kitchen, we’ll get a new one.
