Anyone have any good suggestions about a good, powerful, but simple dishwasher?

Can’t quite tell if you’re looking for a new wife or if you seriously need data.

Don't bother with the younger models. They don't know how to wash dishes.
If you can afford it, get a Bosch. My Mom LOVES hers. Super efficient, very quiet, gets gunk off of the dirtiest of dishes. She’s 80 - it’s very easy for her to use.
I am very happy with our Bosch. It is QUIET. You almost can not hear it running. I pre rinse but there is no need. Best dishwasher I have ever had. Did I mention how QUIET it is. Also, the water in it while washing approaches boiling point. Just be careful if you add a dish. It gets stuff squeaky clean.
When I was a kid, our dishwasher went out. At that time, we were hosting a foreign exchange student from Germany. When the student asked if we were going to replace it, my dad looked him square in the eye and said, "No, we just imported one from Germany."
The poor guy's face read like "oh no!" My dad busted out laughing, and said the new one would be in in a week.
If you want a washer go with the mechanical control Speed Queen. Bullet proof. Washes very very well. The touch screen stuff today is junk. Board goes out and it costs you 2 to 3 hundred bucks in parts alone if you are lucky, and a lot more if you are not.
On the Bosch, set it at the heavy clean cycle, and dont touch that again. The on off switch is an extremely durable design. Settings switches are not.
