I bought a Bosch dishwasher because every review said it's the best, even though it cost more. It's having third repair in just over three years.

Oh shit. We bought a Bosch about a year ago. For our sake I hope it was just a model issue

I have appliance insurance so could be worse. Repair man said he almost never works on Bosch and thinks I was unlucky customer who got a lemon.

Wow, that sucks. I'm sorry to hear that.

We bought a Bosch dishwasher 5 or 6 years ago and we've loved it. Not a single issue.

We bought a Bosch when we remodeled our kitchen almost 10 years ago. The drain pump took a dump one week after the warranty expired. Apparently, despite following manufacturer's instructions to the tee to use the dishwasher pods recommended, the plastic the pods were made of chewed up the cheap plastic impeller of the drain pump. Took awhile to get the replacement and the total repair bill was about one third of the cost of the dishwasher. We now pour the contents of the pod into the machine and throw the plastic away. But we haven't had a problem since. And it is one quiet machine.

I do recommend All Clad cookware for serious cooks. Be kind to it and it lasts a lifetime. I bought it one piece at a time as I could afford until I had everything I needed, which for me is a lot. And a shout out to Revere Ware copper bottom pans. Mt mother got a set as a wedding present. When I went to college she gave me a small saucepan with lid. Right size to cook single portion of rice or oatmeal or heat soup in pre microwave days. I still have that pan. And use it. Purchased 1950.

Same here with a set of knives. Should probably just bite the bullet and get a set of cutco from Costco.

America's Test Kitchen good source of information. They test extensively.

I got the set of Kirkland pots and pans from Costco and LOVE THEM. Thought I would try those first and then return and get something else if I didn't like them. But they're great! I'm not a cook on @crandc's level but you should try them.

We got hexclad knockoffs by Henckels and they are fantastic at about half the price, iirc. Also at Costco.
