We finally got a new dishwasher!!!! We bought our old one about 3 years ago and it has been the loudest appliance I have ever encountered. When it was running, you definitely could not talk in the kitchen. I can't tell you how much frustration we experienced over trying to talk and the other person saying, I have no idea what you just said. I knew that it couldn't last too long, it was too loud and kept grinding. Well, last week it finally died. It would fill up with water and then... nothing. We tried 3 different times just to make sure. It was definitely done.
Joel was great at going to Sears on Sunday night after a long trip back from PA. He bought the only Kenmore dishwasher that they had in stock (in our price range, did you know some dishwashers cost thousands of dollars? I mean, do they do the cooking for you too?). He started working on installation that night and got up early Monday morning to finish it. He has done this 3 times now, and each time he says it's the hardest appliance to install. But - this time it only took one extra trip to Home Depot to buy an additional part.
The new dishwasher is amazing. It fits SO many more dishes, it has 2 sprayers, and a little place for rinse aid. You can talk right in front of it and the other day I fell asleep on the couch while listening to it, it was like a waterfall. I have tested it out and put really dirty dishes in it that weren't scraped at all, and they came out beautifully clean. I hope this one lasts much longer.
Here is the old Tappan one. If you ever see anything made by this brand, run the other way.
Here is our new Kenmore!
So now you have a waterfall in your house. Perfect for sleeping!
