When we moved I decided to get a hotpoint and it does a great job, I find it a bit noisy though. I used to have a Kenmore and loved it. One I would never buy with all the bragging about them is the Maytag, my friend has one and she has to rinse all her dishes clean before putting them in the washer or they don't come out clean.
I don't use mine too often with only 2 people in the house but when we have guests it sure does come in handy.
