Miele. Had an appliance repair person come out to the house for my washer/dryer and he loved the Miele dishwasher. He said that's a 15 year, no maintenance dishwasher.

Whirlpools are pretty easy to repair. I've repaired washers, dryers, ovens, and dishwashers. Thanks to YouTube I've only had to hire a repairman for one thing in the last 15+ years.
