looking for dishwasher recommendations

[Keith Ellis]

Do folks have any recommendations/preferences for dishwashers? It's been eons since I shopped for a dishwasher, and never for a rental yet, but given the unit which needs the machine isn't super high-end, I'm leaning towards the 400-500 price point (quality/value/reliability). I know most REI folks advice against garbage disposals, so I was also curious if there are any d/w features to avoid or look for. Any suggestions on product or where to buy are appreciated. Thanks all!
