I moved recently had 2 in my old house and 2 in my new house. plus I work in an appliance store. so here's a crash course:
whirlpool/maytag/amana are all really the same company, same quality. very good basic dw. I am happy with both
frig is a little bit lower end - might come out cheaper - but the company is terrible service etc. make sure buy extended warranty if u go with this
ge is also lower end and doesn't clean too well. the older ones were made better. the new ones aren't good and don't clean well
ka is a the next step up - has a stainless steel tub warrantied for lifetime or 20 yrs..motor, computer parts covered 5 yrs is definitely better quality and can store much more in the racks than the wpl,maytag,amana. some ppl hold u can kasher for pesach and they buy an extra set of pesach racks. I personally found the wpl/maytag/amana dw cleaned my dishes better than the ka - pots sparkling etc. but the ka was def decent and for fleishigs u def need one that fits a lot.
going a step higher is the Bosch - its very pretty and quiet - but I wouldn't recommend I hate it. and customers hate it. it fits a lot in it, computer and motor covered 5 yrs etc but because of its design it doesn't have heating element on bottom to dry and u will forever busy dealing with wet dishes and moldy smells. when I open my dw door the stench is always yucky no matter how I clean it...I have a list of tips bsh recommends plus they have a youtube video that put out to show u how to load etc. its a nightmare.
fisherpaykel - made in new zealand makes a double drawer dishwasher - its more expensive but very good quality. its like having 2 mini dw's - good for milchig and pareve
LG and samsung - are pretty but terrible dws and the companies have terrible service. if buy one, make sure u buy extended warranty
