GE GDWT668VSS
I researched dishwashers like crazy and decided that I would just go with the same "updated" model of GE. Prices compared, it is about the same.
I had several things that I wanted. One was the potential for the same length of a normal wash cycle (114 minutes with added heat). Secondly, I wanted hard food disposal and loading flex. I'm very easy to please.

All the newer models available had a little of this, a little of that. And the cycles were torturous in length because new and eco friendly uses less water and energy.

I didn't purchase this dishwasher on Amazon; I bought it elsewhere. Hopefully that doesn't discount my review at all.

That said, we're really happy with our dishwasher. We did all of the research on Consumer Reports and read all of the consumer reviews from retail places like Amazon and Best Buy. The best thing to do is to just find one with the features you want and hope for the best. That's what we did and it worked out nicely. The consumer reviews are pretty polarizing: "1 star this thing is terrible and noisy!" or "5 star awesome unit!" Rarely do people actually go into good detail with it (except with KitchenAid's and their broken racks).

That said, here's why we bought ours. It has a self cleaning food grinder. We plan on renting our place out rather than selling after we leave, so things like a food disposal are more tenant friendly. None of the Euro brands have a food disposal so keep that in mind when your friends brag about how quiet their unit is. It...
