The Smeg STA8614XU won't wow you with its cleaning power, but its efficiency and design may be enough for you to overlook the price.

Featuring an impressive range of wash features and customization options, the LG LDF8072ST falls short on efficiency and scrapes by on performance.

The Bosch SHX98M09UC is elegant and powerful, even if it's a bit inconsistent.

The Whirlpool WDF750SAYM offers one of the strongest cleans for the price, despite its overall "average" feel.

With decent but inconsistent performance, the Haier DWL2825SDSS is a good option for homeowners looking to save some money on a plain-old dishwasher.

The Miele Futura Crystal G5105SCU is anything but cheap, but its unique design, strong performance, and extensive array of features should preclude buyer's remorse.

If price isn't an issue you'll probably be happy with it.

For a heavy price tag, the Maytag MDB8959SAS offers sturdy design, a host of features, top notch performance—and a plague to your utility bill.
