Not thrilled that I had to spend my tax return (that I haven't gotten yet >:C) on a new dishwasher, but the old one is... way overdue. It still runs? But it's kind of leaky at the faucet connection (it's a portable,) the power cord needs replacing (protective outer insulation has pulled away from the plug), the rack tines are rusted and breaking off, and I'm... pretty sure there's a significant mold colony in the door, based on what I found in the door vent.
Still, for a 19 year old machine it ran decently well, and while I could fix the issues plaguing it easily enough, it's only a matter of time before something major fails, like the water pump (which I could probably fix if I can source the parts, depending on what broke; dishwashers are pretty basic in their design.) New one has nice features though. Especially like the sanitizing rinse feature. Biggest reason I chose this new one. Sucks that I won't get it until mid-May though. No local stock.
