Forno Pozzo Built-In Dishwasher vs Monogram ZDT900SSYSS Dishwasher

The Monogram ZDT900SSYSS is the stronger dishwasher on nearly every measure that matters: 37 dBA versus 49 dB, 16 place settings versus 14, and 10 cycles versus 6. The Forno Pozzo counters with a lower entry point into a pro-style look, interchangeable brass and stainless handles, and a simple top-control layout. Owners of the Monogram praise its build, quietness and interior light, though some find the racks lighter than earlier versions and the manual hard to follow. Buy the Monogram if quiet operation and capacity matter; buy the Forno if you want the custom-handle look and a straightforward machine.

• Choose the Forno Pozzo if you want a pro-style front with swappable antique brass or stainless handles and a simple six-program, top-control layout.
• Choose the Monogram ZDT900SSYSS if you want a genuinely quiet 37 dBA machine with 16 place settings, a third rack with its own wash manifold, and WiFi control.
