We're torn between the Kenmore Elite dishwasher and the high-end Kitchen Aids. Both are in the price range of Consumer Reports' favorite Bosch, but with the Bosch models you have to dig in and clean the food traps yourself. Yeah right.

Lots of 5-star reviews for the Kitchen Aid Superba (not positive if that's the model we're looking at - at Sears you can select from a booklet full of door styles & options), no reviews at all yet for the Kenmore.

Anumber of glowing reviews and one bomb in this recent discussion of the Kitchen Aid.

The refrigerators are fighting us as well - dimensions, etc. That may be another entry.
