Right, disposals have become rare in dishwashers since manufacturers started phasing them out many many years ago (again, they cost more to produce, so the industry switched to the filter system and wisely marketed the machines as "quiet"). They do still put grinders in a few higher end models but you have to look hard and pay more. GE has branded their hard food disposal feature as "Piranha." Maytag has a couple pricey models that combine grinder AND filter, with the soft promise that the filter will never need cleaning (prompting the question, is the filter actually doing anything?). They're out there.

But you were talking more about cheapo filter dishwashers that skimp on anti-vibration material, and you're right, they are the pits.

Eh...no. Grinder !=quality. It's just a feature, maybe it was more common back in the day, but like I said, I've never had one. Sure, there are plenty of cheapo dishwashers, but I can assure you if one were actually to purchase a dishwasher that is actually quiet, they aren't cheap.
