Has anyone bought a dishwasher that works in the last five years? [View all]

Our dishwasher sucks balls. You have to clean the plates before they go in which kinda defeats the purpose. The problems may be because we turned down the hot water temperature due to babies in the house. Or it could be because the dishwasher sucks.

So, does anyone have a newish dishwasher that works (no pre=cleaning required)?
