Hey guys,

Our dishwasher conked out (pump died, it was about 15 years old). I've already repaired this thing a couple times and it's not worth it now.

Are any reputable brands around anymore? Aren't they all owned by whirlpool?

I'll pay the extra money if it means longevity. Budget probably $1200 or so.

Any recommendations?

Something to keep in mind, US regulations started in 2012 that significantly limit water and power usage for dishwashers sold in the US. It is likely nothing you can buy today will dry as well as your current one, and they will likely take longer to finish a cycle. Just, be prepared.

For $1200 you should have a wealth of choice. Bosch is decent, but pay close attention to the layout of the tines, esp on the bottom rack, and how they would work with your dishes. If you don't have pretty flat plates, they won't fit between the tines easily and it can be a pain. Really though at that price, I would look for Miele or Asko.

I would put an Asko up against basically any home dishwasher sold in this country, with Miele as a close second. The downside to Asko is price. You should be able to find one close to your price point if you shop around, but you will be at their lowest feature model. You still get a killer wash and dry system comparatively, but you might not get all the extra racks and bottle washers and other "bells and whistles".
