Rick,
Can only speak about Bosch dishwashers. I've owned 2. The first for about
10 years or so. The second I bought about 3 years ago when building a new
house. Both were ultra quiet and never had an issue with either one. Both
of mine had drying cycles. What they don't have (I think) is heater
elements in the base. They are not cheap. I think I paid about $600 for
the first one when the common brands were $300 bucks or so and I paid $1400
for this last one. I'm not looking forward to replacing my 20 year old
Maytag washer but when I do, I'll be staying away from the big box stores.

We purchased a Bosch dishwasher some years ago, primarily because it
was quiet.. REAL quiet! Couldn't tell it was on QUIET! However, it
has started making noise so that doesn't last forever. Also, it
doesn't have a drying cycle, you just open the door and wait. My wife
doesn't like this but I don't care.
