Bosch and Miele are the two best dishwasher brands in the market with $999 being the most popular price. The question is: which dishwasher should you buy?

It depends on what you value would be the best answer.

Packages are a great way to buy kitchen appliances.

These are the brands for your dream kitchen. They have the most features and look the best.

If you are a home builder, these names will help sell your project.

Luxury brands focus mostly on designer refrigeration, professional cooking appliances, and ventilation.

So, your washing machine has finally called it quits and it’s time for a new one. Be it a top loader or an older front load machine, today’s machines are better performing by leaps and bounds than those of years past.

Now that I have a child, I have a distinct perspective on products, especially on everyday appliances like washers, dryers, stoves, and refrigerators.

I would choose reliability over features to a certain degree.

That said, Samsung and LG are two of the four front load washers you should consider along with Maytag and Whirlpool.

Compact laundry has better features than even the best regular washers and dryers.

Imagine you are about to hear the latest plot twist of Game of Thrones or Greys Anatomy (add your favorite show/sporting event here) only you can’t hear it because the dishwasher is running in the background.

Induction is the best cooking surface available. It's faster than the hottest professional rangetop and can simmer lower than the best electric cooktop.

You and your children cannot turn induction on accidentally, because it needs to sense metal to activate.

There is also less heat escaping like gas, so it requires less venting as well.

If you live in Massachusetts or any other Makeup Air state, venting is now an issue.

The maximum ventilation without a Makeup Air solution is now only 400 CFM.  You can vent an induction cooktop at 400 CFM (within reason) whereas a professional gas stovetop would require a 600 CFM blower at a minimum.

Bosch and KitchenAid dishwashers are the two most compared dishwashers, maybe even in all of the appliance industry. If you are looking for a dishwasher between $700-$1,500, then these two brands will be a consideration.

The sun is shining on your back, your kids are playing frisbee behind you, your neighbor is standing over your shoulder judging your every move as you flip his burger for the umpteenth time. This is what weekends in the summer are about.

Editor's Note: We compared Bosch Vs. Miele Compact Laundry last year. However, Miele recently introduced a low-price model now competitive to Bosch's best selling units. This is an entirely different article based on similarly priced machines (which rarely happens between the two).

Compact washers and dryers are the most innovative. You may initially be bummed out about its smaller size.

However, do not let the word “compact” fool you. You can absolutely get your laundry done in this machine.

I don’t have kids, but I know someday I will. I have nieces and nephews and have seen how their clothes can look after an afternoon playing soccer in the backyard.

We were interviewed by NPR last week about tariffs affecting the appliance business. They had read our article on October 18th, 2018.

Most of what we wrote about the following 6 months happened.

But that’s history.

I must be a people person at heart given the comment below. For years, I have shown you service statistics of various brands.

It is one of the top 5 stats we keep at Yale because selling reliable products is right for you and less expensive for me as a dealer offering repair services.

It can be confusing to buy a front load washer.

Our recommendations have changed almost every 90 days depending on the manufacturer, the fluctuating prices, and the availability of the product.

I hate to say it. But there is no one best type of grill. Well, there is one best grill, but you won’t read much farther after learning the $14,000+ price tag.

We have always been about maintenance. Sure, we want to sell you new stuff, but you can often hold off new purchases by properly maintaining your current appliances.

For grills, that means thoroughly cleaning. For that, we will turn to a true expert, Doug “Wookie” Keiles. He has been featured on the TV shows "Pitmasters", "Chopped", and is a competitive griller.

It’s grill season again. I have devised another article to keep you sane during your grill purchase with some common mistakes others have made.

Built-In BBQ Grills

Between this article and its twin 8 Best Grills in Boston, you should be well on your way to choosing the right grill for you.

You're probably curious about black stainless steel if you are just buying appliances. You may be looking at it as an alternative to the stainless steel you see everywhere.

Compact laundry has changed considerably over the years. It is technically the best you can buy despite its small size.

It's also incredibly versatile and can fit in a small closet or even in your kitchen.

Ah, the Yale Tent Sale. Since the passing of the Filene's Basement Bridal Run, the Tent Sale is the last of these types of sales. If you have never been to one of these, it's a 3-hour mad grab. Yet it's totally worth it.

You can save a ton of money on this sale starting at 20% and up to 60% with a full manufacturer's warranty.

The Tent Sale is our clearing of floor displays, discontinued products/vendors, and slow-moving products as well as scratch and dent appliances.

This year, we couldn't find a tent large enough (seriously), so it's in one of our warehouses in Stoughton.

Vacuuming is an integral part of interior cleaning, and for some people, it is an essential step in maintaining their houses, cars and office surroundings.

If you like to keep everything in place and dislike the idea of hidden bacteria or germs sitting around in your interiors, a vacuum cleaner can help.

You do not have to spend a ton of money for good looking appliances. It's quite the opposite, especially over the last 5 years. KitchenAid has a whole new look. Bosch has a new refrigerator. Samsung is now the number 1 brand in the US because of their beautiful design and advanced technology. Jenn-Air still has their most popular full-featured package around $5,000.    

On Bosch's website, they currently list 50 available dishwashers. They are organized by series like Ascenta, 300, 500, 800, 800+, and Benchmark.

So you’re in the market for a new gas range.
