dishwash advice
I have a question about dishwasher. My wife has been after me for awhile for a dishwasher. Well her latest thing now, is that a dishwasher would use less water, then she does. Is this a fact, or is she trying to get over on me.

Give in. It ain't just the amount of water that she will save, and it will save a bunch of water. It's about convenience, super cleaning, disinfecting, and other benefits that I could list. She will run about 5 gallons into the sink for the initial wash, then run another 5 gallons over the dishes to rinse them. The dishwasher will probably use 4 gallons in total to wash and rinse. Something to consider if you are on a well. 6 gallon savings per day. That allows you enough to take an extra shower now and again

No need to resist, go for it!

And I'll simply add that if she wants a dishwasher......she wants a dishwasher! Sort of like how you might want a hunting rifle (and not just your bow and arrow you currently have). Gotta make the wifey happy, you know. (And I'm not even married, but I know that much.)

Now is a good time to buy a energy star dishwasher. You get that 30% rebate to boot. Do some good research about which model to buy. A good rule of thumb is anything less than 4 out of 5 stars on an internet review is a no buy.

I'm on the search for a new dishwasher also. The old 20 year old Kenmore is on it's last leg so I'm on the search for a new one. Where do you get these reviews looking for 4 or 5 stars? Didn't find out much when I used Google. Any recommendations for best brands in the $400 to $600 range? Thanks

Or maybe that's just the way I do dishes.
I'd get it, it might lead to tastier meals since your wife won't be concerned about the amount of cleanup afterward.
It's still more valid than me telling my wife that I need a 12" sliding compound miter saw, because it will help me get stuff done faster.

Or go to epinions.com.
Which also answers your second question, since you can browse by price range as well.
