We spent the greater part of the day shopping for a new dishwasher. Ours died earlier this week. It was about 10 years old so it lasted a good amount of time.
We looked online at Consumerreports.com at the ratings and then went off to look at some in the stores. We went to Home Depot first and saw two models we liked. One was a Maytag and one was an LG. But, we decided to look further before making a final decision.
We stopped for lunch at Culver's. I'd never been there before. I was very leary of it because it just did not sound good. Butter Burger sounds like a stomach ache waiting to happen. But, it wasn't too bad. I got a Mushroom & Swiss burger and wish I'd gotten at least mayo on it because the mushrooms are not in a sauce like most places. The kids enjoyed it, too. Michael had eaten at one before out where he works.
Then, we went to American to look at dishwashers. We saw the same two models that we saw at Home Depot. But, still could not decide. So, we came home to look them both up on the Internet again. On a side note here, American had this deep freeze that was so huge you could put a body in it. I've never seen one of those that is that big. It just amazed me. The sales person told us that it was the model that Jeffery Dahmer had bought to put his victims in. He was serious, but I don't know if I believe him.
Anyway, we came home and looked up both models online again. It didn't really make it easier. There were just enough complaints about the LG to make me weary, but the Maytag is a brand new model so there are no customer reviews of it yet. We decided that we'd go with the Maytag since that's what we have now and have been happy with it.
So, we went back to Home Depot. Michael's dad went with us while the kids stayed with him mom. The plan was to bring the dishwasher home. But, they do not keep appliances in stock at the store. So, it's ordered and will be delivered and installed on Wednesday. Michael's dad will come over to supervise the installation since Michael and I both be at work.
